Beautiful Spring, Summer, Fall scent. Light, floral with a distinct white floral dominance that stays well clear of “old lady” by interesting fruity, musky and woody notes. Like a daytime, flirty and less serious Fracas.

I first smelled this when I was 14, at a department store counter and never forgot about it. I finally bought a tiny dark blue dab-on bottle of Byblos online a few years ago. In the bottle, this smells so divine to me. Clean yet exotic. But then I put it on my skin and within 20 minutes I’m scrubbing it off. The lily overpowers everything else on me (and I can’t stand the smell of lily). Also, it reminds me of some cheap shampoo my mom always bought in the 80’s. Ick. Why does this go from dreamy to disgusting for me?
My husband says it makes me smell like candy — specifically the “blocks of jelly candy covered in powdered sugar — the kind you buy on the boardwalk and cut into slices.” Oddly specific, he is.

Interesting to read some of the reviews on this. Interesting to read some feel this is for teens. I suppose it is indeed safe for teens and early 20-somethings, as this is not overpowering. But I am in my mid-40’s and I love this fragrance. To me, this is clean, light, unassuming, inoffensive. Fresh and light and clean. Not something you will smell on a person clear across the room. But a light scent that you get a whiff of when the person wearing this walks past, a fresh scent that leaves you wondering what that clean fresh scent is.
I get a predominant watery note from this. I really like this for Spring and Summer, but even on occasion in the Winter when I just want a ‘fresh’ feeling from the grey Winter doldrums.
That is what I get from this…Very light, clean, fresh, inoffensive. To me this is not a traditional perfume-y perfume, but to me and for me, this smells like and behaves more like a body mist. “””Clean.””” — That is how I would describe this in one word. Lasts on me about 5 to 6 hours.

This is one of my early scents, I was still wearing this around 18, having come
Through the last years of high school wearing it. No one else had it, or had even heard of it, but people said frequently how I always smelled so nice. To me it smelled of raspberries and pepper, my American boyfriend told me it smelled of blue jelly dolphin sweets, I had never seen them then but lo and behold when I visited the USA, I did find them and it does!
I still have a bottle, but rarely wear it now but having thrown a bottle out as I feared it had turned and then finding it mighty hard to replace I shall never get rid of it!

Oh joy of Junior High School in the 80s.
I still love this scent to this day, even though I don’t choose to wear it anymore. I recall the fruit punch scent, along with Nautica Woman, Elysium, Calyx, and the coveted (totally un-affordable now) New West.
THESE are what fruity perfumes were designed to smell like.
Byblos has just enough florals in it to keep it from smelling like you spilled Kool-Aid down the front of your shirt. The only other perfume I can think of that achieves this for me is Jimmy Choo Flash.

di questo gioiellino possiedo la versione pre-riformulazione: quella successiva non la conosco. interessantissimo accordo fruttato e floreale, assai lontano dagli attuali profumi-tutti-uguali, richiama alla mente sentori decisamente anni 90. è giocato sulle contrapposizioni: è verde e fresco ma anche dolce e confortevole, per nulla gourmand, si inaugura con una specie di macedonia di frutta, aspra di bergamotto e dolce di mandarino, con l’aggiunta del frutto della passione, lampone e pesca. questa bella fase lentamente procede su un solido cuore floreale, in cui spicca il mughetto ammorbidito dalla mimosa e dall’iris. quindi l’assestamento su un classico muschio e vetiver. complesso, caleidoscopico, un must-have per i collezionisti.

Byblos Is Beautiful
This is an affordable luxury!
There are 2 versions:
The mini dab-on bottles in dark blue and an aquamarine colored spray bottle.
The latter is a reformulation.
I have both and can see the differences between the two of them.
They are both sweet, tasty, but mature fruity florals from the 90’s similar in style to fragrances such as Volupte by Oscar de La Renta, Donna by Pavarotti, Casmir by Chopard, Deci Dela by Nina Ricci or Tocade by Rochas.
So if you like those type of fruity floral fragrances, this is going to be your bag.
Mini Dab Bottle
The scent is like fruit punch (in a good way) fruit wine and tropical fruit.
I detect a lot of cassis or grape wine at the first whiff, sweetened with peach liqueur, pineapple, raspberry, and citrus notes of orange and grapefruit.
The fruit scents that definitely come through are citrus-grapefruit and cassis, as well as pineapple, in a juice.
Exotic. A scent from far away islands.
The fruitiness of this perfume is also on the mature side, deep, concentrated, and yet sweet. It’s summery and beautiful.
The florals are powdery and light. I smell heliotrope, rose, violet, marigold, gardenia, iris, jasmine, orchid, ylang ylang and mimosa.
The other florals are in the mix providing it with a heady floral smell, quite womanly and at times soapy.
This is a good multi floral fragrance but the fruit is really the bigger accord.
The dry down is musk, spice and vetiver.
I would go as far as to say that the dry down is more on the unisex side, despite all the feminine touches of the top and middle notes. The musk and vetiver are rubbery, leathery.
It starts to smell exactly like a glove on my hand. Not a bad smell though. Longevity and sillage is excellent.
Byblos is exotic and captivating. Sure it smells outdated but it’s such a pleasant aroma and suited to spring and summer for cocktails and lunch dates.
EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY BOTTLE
This one is cheaper and it shows.
The scent has the same top fruit notes but the florals are not as detectable – except maybe ylang ylang and mimosa.
The development is much quicker and it turns into musk.
This is not as bad as some have said it is but I still prefer the mini dab on bottle because it’s much more full bodied. The EDP spray is like a body spray.
Byblos is lost in the shuffle of fragrance purchases and is very underrated.
It is a very well made perfume and should be received with as much enthusiasm as Oscar De La Renta Volupte. Chances are if you wear Volupte you’ll really dig this scent.

I have to admit I bought this for three reasons. The Fragrantica reviews,(thank you) the mimosa, and finally the price. I am not a fan of lily of the valley, but in this perfume all I can say is wow! Byblos is complimented by so many other wonderful notes, fruity and flowery, etc. I tested it on paper first and some of the white flowers seemed so dominant that I thought I might not care for it, but then tested it on skin and this is where the real magic began for me. All the notes together make this such an enjoyable fragrance. Sweet and fruity and flowery (a little heady a first) but wait until all the notes quiet a little and yes, lovely is the only word that fits. I am wearing it.
edit: Came back to say how much I love this fragrance. It has a starch-like quality in the dry down, that makes me think of clean white sheets and sun. I don’t get the fruits except maybe at first, but then they don’t really seem overly sweet. Love this.

One of the few fruit based scents that I just love. I think the florals balance with it very nicely and the result is very pleasant indeed.
I wear just a touch of this to work or to church and it is the perfect touch.

This is a beautiful perfume. As a big fan of fruity floral scents this was like someone designed a fragrance just for me knowing all my tastes. This has a lot of fruits and flowers. And the best part is you can literally smell each of the note if you pay enough attention. I spray it on my shirt, my wrists forearms and neck. I have a miniature eau de parfum splash bottle and a spray bottle. The new formula is gross but that one is the aquamarine colored bottle. What you wanna get is the old formula in the darker ocean blue colored bottle. That’s the one I have and it’s amazing. The fragrance opens with a fruit punch made of pineapple, peach, passion fruit black currant/grape and grapefruit, citrus. Delicious. And so very 90’s. This is the way so many great 90’s fruity florals opened with. Think Lancôme Tresor or Oscar de La Renta Volupte. The lushness of this fragrance continues to develop as it becomes a floral fragrance of dozens of flowers: mimosa, lily, gardenia, violet, ylang-ylang orchid rose and heliotrope. So many flowers. The dominant note is mimosa which oddly enough smells like the heliotrope that is also in here. I would call this mainly a mimosa-heliotrope. The other flowers that trail behind the mimosa-heliotrope is violet, orchid and rose. The dry down is a sweet raspberry. For the most part this fragrance stays fruity and floral without getting too dark, or aromatic. It’s very pretty. A great scent for spring.

AMBROSIA NECTAR OF THE GODS A FEAST ON ON MOUNT OLYMPUS
NOTE IN BYBLOS
Head Notes: Pineapple Passion Fruit Black Currant Mandarin Orange Cassia Peach Grapefruit Marigold Bergamot
Heart Notes: Mimosa Honeysuckle Iris Lily Gardenia Violet Orchid Orris Root Jasmine Heliotrope Ylang Ylang Lily of the Valley Rose
Base Notes: Musk Pepper Raspberry Vetiver
Byblos was an ancient Phoenician sea port in Lebanon in the 2nd Millennium BC. Ships sailing across the Mediterranean from Italy, Greece and Egypt would stop by Byblos and buy fruits, flowers, spices, wine and perfume from the thriving city. This fragrance takes you there. It’s lush with fruits and flowers that evoke the Ancient World. It’s a fragrance for Cleopatra, for Helen of Troy. Absolutely beautiful. I don’t understand why this epic perfume became a drug store cheapie. It smells fare more expensive. Top notes are all fruity, making this a fruit cocktail of intoxicating deliciousness. It has pineapple, grape, orange, peach and passion fruit. The heart of the fragrance is heady with flowers like gardenia, mimosa, violets, orchids, heliotrope jasmine and ylang-ylang. The combination of these flowers, each of them very fragrant, creates a magic exotic beauty treatment on your skin. It made me feel like a decadent Roman noblewoman who indulges in all kinds of pleasures – while her husband is away. Vetiver in the base keeps it strong and lasting a very long time, well over 7 hours. There is spice notes as well and something like warm honey but which is actually honeysuckle. This smells like a feast on Mount Olympus where Zeus Hera Aphrodite Apollo Poseidon and Athena (my favorite) are eating ambrosia food of the gods. This is a luxurious and brilliant floral fragrance which should adorn the skin of every woman. It feels like if I wear this I too will become immortal, eternally young and beautiful like a Greek goddess. I can’t tell you how much this stuff affected me. I’m in love.

Ok, I’m pretty sure I have a newer version of this one, but as I’ve never smelled the vintage I’m okay on that score.
This is a huge winner in my book! It opens a tad soapy/clean with a hint of fruit and ylang-ylang but fairly quickly dries down into a crisp fresh woody vetiver and mimosa scent. It’s not loud, not a bomb, but is really gorgeous on my skin. This was a cheap blind buy and I’m really excited that it’s as lovely as it ended up being.
If you like mimosa and vetiver, I say give this a try! Especially if you hadn’t ever tried the original, that way there’s nothing to compare it to in your head.

Oh my, why does it always seem that I have something different than the other reviewers?? To me it is a very strong jasmine and nothing else. It’s kind of a boring scent, nothing spectacular. Safe and boring. After a few minutes the jasmine becomes a clean soapy just showered smell but even that is gone too fast. Maybe it was reformulated?

xalyavsheg – 2022-06-05:

Another perfume i used to use as my signature scent in my teens. It was such a loveable juicy but dark and mysterious powdery and slightly bitter violet and cassia blast in the opening, sweetend up with sweet creamy heliotrop and jasmin, yet it settled down to a warm honeydripped, slightly spiced up rain of sweet whispering berrish accords and earthy woody hints in the background along with soft fowers. Hmmmmm, it felt so modern, sexy and special at these times. i think it is still very wearable nowdays. Stunning bottle!
I purchased an empty vintage bottle of the edp just to recall the lovely scent in my memory.❤️

rusbratpr08n – 2022-06-05:

It’s a good scent but not all scents are for personal use. Some are better purchased in oils for oil burners. Perhaps this was unique when it was first released but now the frangrance notes are commonly found in detergents (particularly laundry sheets). You will smell like clean clothes or soap, which could be great for Summer or the gym. However, this fragrance is strong enough to make others feel as if they’re holding laundry sheets up to their noses. If you enjoy clean light/almost soapy fragrances I suggest the CLEAN fragrance line found at Cleanperfume.com. Clean has more modern base notes. I think some of their fragrances are also sold here. Clean pefumes are awesome year round and some of their fragrances are great with Fall layers and Winter sweaters.

Unless this has totally changed over the years, it was a great perfume. Luckily there is the internet, so I can have it back. But it is so strange reading that it is not memorable. I used to recognize this just by smelling back in the days. But maybe now with so many florals around it might be difficult. But for me the Mimosa, the honeysuckle and the rose still bring back memories. I had a miniature of this perfume and put little by little because I didn’t want to spend it all. To think that this was such an expensive perfume back in the 90s. I totally like it. Its sillage was moderate but the longevity was something else. I remember that sometimes I could smell it in my clothes even after washing

There is something so satisfying, in a fluid, polished way about “Byblos”. It’s like peppery suede, reeds, ocean water, sand, linen, blackberries and metallic-sweet, hammered copper or gold (and not just in reference to that quirky bottle cap, either. There’s a dry-oil, dense quality to it, that makes me think of clean, oiled skin in beaming sunlight. It does smell like a lush, sunny Mediterranean place, with bleached days and balmy nights.
The distinctly, leathery, iodine note that runs throughout this scent reminds me of castoreum or myrrh and I’m surprised neither are a note, although Vetiver is and it can have a very dark, earthy tone, that’s similar to both. When I wear this unusual beauty, I’m whisked away to the days of Greek gods and hero myths and I feel like Helen of Troy or Andromeda, chained to the rock, with seawater splashing against me, the scent of libations heating in The Sun, as I anxiously scan the crowds — and the clouds! — for Perseus.
“Byblos” is a rich, jammy but smooth and oddly spare, blend of fruits, grasses, woods and berries. If you’d always wished that “Poison” had a very, dialed-down cousin, here it is.

Oh Byblos Byblos! What a scent of memory you are!
i still own a small bottle of it, now a little turned, but still smelling quite fresh. This perfume bring back lots of memories of my college years. It was quite common here in those years, probably because it was a local designer, but later it became rare to find. well, nothing I would wear now, but smelling this fruit-packed sweet summery effortless beauty is like rewinding my brain back of at least a decade.
When I say “fruit” and “sweet” forget about the current (celeb) fruit-baskets or the neverending candish sweet.
Nothing like that. Byblos smells of summer fruits you can tell and the sour/sweetness comes from the fruit notes, not from sugary notes.
the note list is complicated indeed. It wouldn’t be easy to detect all those notes. the final effect is not so complicated.
Flowers are soft and romantic, very close to fruits, especially gardenia.
The drydown is mostly about vetiver, but the whole scent is basically a fruity floral in the old good school manner of ’80-90′.
It was girlish and happy, with just a very soft sultry edge.
Smelling this one now is like going back to a sun-drenched terrasse on the Mediterranean Sea.

Demo-N – 2022-06-05:

I will start at the drydown. It is sharp in a plasticky way but that’s not to say it’s not good.
As long as it’s not initially over sprayed.
It reminds me of Pageant women…Miss Usa contestants. Blondes, Brunettes & Red-heads all alike running around backstage fussing over their hair, their makeup and their swimsuits!
it’s fruity, zesty, flowery, and sweet but not as innocent as most floral-fruity fragrances readily available. Lively and has certain level of sophistocation but not truly glamorous.
It’s rich fruitpunch!! Deep red, and thick.
The opening is bright, uplifting and fast!…mellows out in the middle.
Nothing’s missing in this 90’s fragrance for today. it was before it’s time!
Byblos as a new release…would shake things up a bit!!
I never understood why the name Byblos for this fragrance.
Should be called punch and kick!!
It’s different. It’s very clean in the drydown when it’s not over sprayed.
Sillage- moderate
Projection- moderate
Scale1 to 10… 10

I came across a bottle of this scent in a box lot of fragrances that I bought at auction. I knew nothing about this fragrance and had never heard of the company. The bottle appears to be one of the original scent,it’s the short bottle of EDP that looks like it’s wearing a big hat.
The fragrance smelled pretty in the bottle,but when I dabbed it onto my wrists,it took on a life of it’s own. This is the fruitiest scent I’ve ever smelled. I kept thinking that the fruitiness would subside, but it kept intensifying.
Then a very unnatural sharp note appeared and got stronger and stronger. It was very plastic like and the whole potion started smelling like a child’s cheap bubble bath or perhaps one of those play bottles of perfume that come in little girl’s fake makeup kits.
Finally, I had to wash it off. For 3 days I tried over and over again to wash it off. With each scrubbing, the water seemed to invigorate the smell and bring it back to life.
Normally I’ll try a scent at least 3 times before discarding it, but I just can’t bring myself to risk another similar experience. I’ll leave this fragrance to those who who enjoy it.

I just obtained this in a boxed lot of perfumes yesterday. After reading the notes in this fragrance and some of the reviews here, I had to go spray it again and then go back and check my bottle a third time to make sure I was looking at the right reviews for the perfume I have!
This is a very soft fragrance, sits close to the skin. If I really try hard I suppose I can smell some of the fruit or the gardenia, but what it mostly smells like is the way your skin smells after a day in the pool.
Really beautiful, soft summer fragrance.
Edit: Just had to come back to say that I love this even more after wearing it all day yesterday. I loved that I could smell it on myself. Usually I just don’t smell my own perfume unless I place my wrist to my nose. Also, it lasts for hours! I applied about 10 AM and it was still with me when I woke up the next morning!

This is one of the first fragrances my hubbie got me when we were young university students. Cost him an arm and a leg back then. I liked light floral fragrances then and this fits the bill but somehow I always thought this was too light. I love the lily of the valley and the mimosa, but again not much longevity. Byblos’ clothing was fun and spunky and the fragrance is so feminine that I couldn’t reconcile the two. I still have my bottle for nostalgic reasons and do spray it in the summer.

Used to love Byblos when I was a teenager. Now I’m in my 40’s and I ordered a bottle on ebay last week for nostalgic reasons. I tried a spray on my wrist today, and it was way to sweet for me! It’s a bright fruity floral, I get alot of honeysuckle, lily of the valley and gardenia from it, and a mish-mash of fruit. To me, this one is not unisex, it’s quite feminine and uber sweet, but not for me. Good summer scent, good longevity.

I always remeber this as the perfume that I would always spritz on at the chemist, but end up buying something else, back when i was still a teenager in 1990, but from then a perfume fanatic.
I came across a ‘mini’ in the years to come, and found that i really liked it. Unfortunately, was not easy to get hold of back circa 2000 – but i have seen it has been re-released. I have ordered 2 bottle cannot wait! The perfume is unique,fortuneley/unfortunately was never advertised/commercialised as much as the other perfumes of her time, so youngings of today will have most prob never heard of it.
It reminds me at first of some retro sweets of the seventies – purple biolets!! You just wanna eat it as you spray. Lovely!!

I wore Byblos for a bit in the early ’90s. A sharp, musky floral is the only thing I could detect. No fruitiness at all. I loved it at the time, but my tastes have changed to the warmer, sweeter, less floral now. Gorgeous bottle.

slam25 – 2022-06-05:

Lovely ! All I get is gardenia and jasmine and that’s very much ok by me.
Edit : Original blast : very powerful and yummy but the drydown starts immediately and after 1 hour all I have left on me is a faint weird smell of laundry detergent. I used it in the nineties and remember it was gorgeous. Has it been reformulated, like so many other “golden oldies” ?

Viktors25 – 2022-06-05:

This was a blind purchase, bought based off recommendations on forum and also because it doesn’t seem very common. I definitely get a very aquatic berry smell, slightly piney, and for some odd reason, reminds me of berry flavored taffy. It smells familiar, yet it does seem to have a mystifying and mysterious allure to it. It makes me think of a mermaid swimming through a beautiful coral reef, picking sparkling sea berries and blowing bubbles in the moonlight night. There is something about this scent that I find very intriguing. I keep finding myself sniffing the bottle, trying to figure out what it is. I really like it, not love, but will be coming back to this one.

alexaGoacy – 2022-06-05:

It almost seems simaltaneous, the bergmot (for me is liken to aroma therapy) and other fruits strike a bell in your olfactory senses only for a moment then in sneaks the flowers and a crisp bite of spice & greenery that leaves one altogether, enchanted. You need only move your wrist around and about under your nose and each of your favorites will make themselves known. It is a crisp, light scent without an over-flowering sense with sprigs of green spring and the slightest kick of a spice to add just the right amount of fiestiness to your step.
I’ve read a comparison of this unique fragrance “It is liken to eating Strawberries Romanov, under a copse of cedar trees”.
You do find yourself wishing to be nearly engulfed by this Italian wonder. It’s absolutely delicious and decadent!!
I have found no one who does not marvel over it’s uniqueness. Try it. I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

Based on all of the positive reviews, I decided to pick up a bottle of the limited-edition re-launch of BYBLOS, and I have to say that it smells very nice indeed. This fruity-fruity-floral perfume reminds me a lot of Van Cleef & Arpels FEERIE edt (not the edp, which smells like fruit syrup…), except that it is more floral. But, wow, the fruit smells so very succulent!
Although this perfume is forceful, it is not at all aggressive. Instead, I find it extremely inviting. I am so happy that I followed your advice, BYBLOS lovers! (When I saw Scarlette’s review, I knew that this perfume had to have merit… And the charming gay fellow who said that he was almost converted by the scent of this perfume on a woman! (-;)
I imagine that this sort of composition may not hold up well over the years, but this limited edition re-launch has provided me with the opportunity to experience this beautiful, complex creation as all of you did twenty years ago!

I wore this in 1992/93… I was in my early 20’s and remember this being the first perfume that a total stranger complemented me on and wanted to know the name of. He was an older man (in his 40’s which I thought was old at the time) who wanted to buy a bottle for his wife. I tried to tell him the name but wasn’t pronouncing it right, so I ended up writing it down on a scrap of paper.
I haven’t smelled Byblos since then, and it’s been so long that it’s hard to remember much about it, only that it was light, fresh and so different than the big scents I wore in the 80’s. Fruity florals were new and Byblos was my first. Even then this scent was somewhat under the radar with no big ad campaign. I’ve been contemplating buying a bottle now but is it the same formula? The bottle shape is now more “squat” and the color of the glass has changed from turquoise to cobalt. I’ll probably take a chance though because it’s fairly inexpensive online (haven’t seen it in the stores for years) and maybe it’ll bring back some memories. 🙂

When I was a young gal (14-15) and had time to skulk around perfume counters at the mall, I fell in love with this glowing blue bottle, gold writing, strange name, lovely aquatic berry scent. I was familiar with fragrances through advertising campaigns, beautiful women, flowing cloth, maybe a beach – but Byblos was an outlier, I never saw an ad campaign. I felt I had really discovered something.
My relationship with Byblos was contained to my mall visits. My best friend bought this fragrance and in my quest for individuality, I couldn’t possibly buy the same perfume.
In my recent growth development as a fume head, I rediscovered Byblos. I have acquired a small perfume collection and I decided it was about time to own this old desire of mine (even if I haven’t tested it since 1993).
Just came in the mail: 1.7oz EDP
The small blue bottle is much darker, cobalt blue, compared to its big sister (3.4oz).
I have not acquired a true nose for individual notes, but here are a few initial thoughts on top notes: Honeysuckle. Smelling close to the skin – sweet hairspray (not in a good way). Give it some distance – siren song of aquatic berries.
I have checked The Guide a number of times and Byblos is never there. What does that mean? Too old, too boring…? No matter, I’m happy to come face to face with this old fling.

This is my favorite perfume of all time. I have a great deal of trouble wearing perfumes–they interact chemically with my skin and come off smelling much different than they did in the bottle! Byblos is one of the few (Joy and Poison being the other two) perfumes that remains true to the smell right out of the bottle. I love this one in that it exudes a light, but very different scent from most perfumes. Whenever I wear it, I get compliments about how it isn’t overwhelming, but subtle and “me.” Guess you can’t get a better compliment than that!

Just as the exquisite and expressive packaging would suggest, Byblos is a magical potion that transports you to a tranquil, peacful and exotic paradise at sundown.
Calm, still waters, Luscious fruit trees and fragrant flowers.
Byblos is a rare gem of it’s era . Unlike other fragrances of the late 80″s, early 90’s, it is not bold, glaring or over the top, but subtle, understated and sophisticated. Nor is it driping in syrupy sweetness like many of the fruity/florals produced in recent years. The notes in Byblos are beautifully blended and perfectly balanced, delicate, natural and delicious.
Never have I experienced another fruity/floral with such warmth, depth and groundedness. Nor have I experienced another which imparts such a soothing and comforting effect to the wearer.
Byblos is truly a unique, beautiful and timeless creation, and while it is quite difficult to come by these days, has all the makings to become a great classic.

I came back to write more because this perfume is really wonderful and makes me feel happy and calm. It’s just one that keeps on giving, I also thought about similarities last night and it came to me it shares dry down with Lalique Encre Noir which I absolutely adore too. The first sprays and first 20 minutes of this scent are very different from each other so allow it to do it’s magic. All phases of this juice are excellent and keep me coming back for more and I will. Not something I generally say because there are so many perfumes and so little tim

What a find! What a stunner! I think of violets and sweet fresh berries! What a delicious
Surprise and without being sweet and overbearing. This is a very beautifully made scent and in my opinion has no era mark to it. In other words I do not think it has a date stamp on it. This is an any time and any occasion scent that just simply is elegant and classy and is to be treasured….. And the bottle is darling too!

I love Byblos! Could only buy it at Holt Renfrew when it was still sold in stores in the 90’s.
Fantastic, very Italian feeling fruity fresh for me! I smell strawberries, sunshine, grapefruits, a bit of chocolate, oranges, and class.
Have worn for 20 yrs.
Will wear for another 20.

Sweet fruty, juice almost. it has it freshnes ,and im shure its nice in the summertime , like a limonade of sweet fruit. but to me this is a bit boring.
i can not pick up all the notes listed , this is a safe one for young girls i would say.

Definitely not the first and second league in the world of fragrances. Very irritating and annoying for me. Sweet or sour? First sweet, than sour. Strawberry, strawberry, strawberry. Very artificial, cloying and sticky. This horrible scent lasts centuries on me.

This perfume was the first that made a lasting impression- back in my teenage years. It actually was the starter of my “career” as a perfume-lover.
It was love at first sniff.
The juice is perfect for summer time- it smells aquatic, floral and not too sweet.
The bottle does the scent justice- I like the expressive blue.
Evoking a secluded bay in Greece, you and nature in harmony, merging with the elements…
In this scent I find serenity and delight…it makes me happy.

I wore it when i was a teen-ager…and now i’ve found a little bottle of this perfume yet! (30 ml) I like it again, but not as “yesterday”, so I can exchange it with one of the fragrances i’m searching for (see my wishlist) 🙂 (J.from Italy)

Smells nice on other people, but I hate it on me. I find it overwhelmingly fruity – and strangely, I detect mostly strawberries! There is a pleasant peppery note that lingers throughout but that alone is not enough to take the edge off the fruit notes. Quite musky when it dries down.

This was a stunner, so fresh and yet with deep interesting notes that kept appearing at random inte
