BYZA Midas

$48.00

Bottle size 50 mL / 1.7 fl oz

Vanilla, honeyed, sweet, aromatic, and warm.

Key Fragrance Notes:

Top: Lavender, Mint
Heart: Vanilla, Benzoin
Base: Honey, Tonka Bean, Tobacco

Midas opens with lavender and mint, adding an aromatic freshness before vanilla and benzoin make the heart warmer and softer. Honey and tonka bean deepen the sweetness in the base, while tobacco supplies a darker accent beneath it. The composition moves from a cool herbal opening into a rich, syrupy warmth. Lavender remains an important contrast to the sweet materials, giving the fragrance more structure than a straightforward vanilla or honey accord.

About the Fragrance

Midas is BYZA’s interpretation of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir. It belongs to the sweet aromatic side of the inspiration collection, connecting the familiar freshness of lavender with a much warmer background. This contrast gives the fragrance a bold masculine-leaning character, placing it between the house’s aromatic compositions and its richer gourmand and tobacco styles.

Summary

Midas is a warm honeyed vanilla fragrance that balances its sweetness with aromatic lavender, mint, tobacco, and resinous benzoin. Lavender and mint make the opening noticeably fresh and aromatic, giving the composition lift before the sweeter materials take over. Vanilla becomes prominent through the heart, while benzoin adds smooth balsamic warmth and reinforces the ambered texture. Honey deepens the sweetness in the drydown, with tonka bean adding a soft warm richness and tobacco providing a darker, drier counterpoint underneath. It should suit shoppers who enjoy vanilla and honey but want aromatic freshness and tobacco depth rather than a pure dessert profile. The overall effect is warm, syrupy, and comforting with enough contrast to remain structured.
