$48.00

Bottle size 50 mL / 1.7 fl oz

Warm-spicy, fresh-spicy, woody, aromatic, and lavender-led.

Key Fragrance Notes:

Top: Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Grapefruit
Heart: Lavender
Base: Licorice, Sandalwood, Amber, Patchouli, Haitian Vetiver

Virile opens with nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and grapefruit, creating a concentrated spice impression with a brief citrus contrast. Lavender forms the aromatic heart and gives the warmer materials a clearer, cooler center. Licorice darkens the base alongside sandalwood, amber, patchouli, and Haitian vetiver. The finish is woody and grounded, with sweetness woven into the spice rather than taking over. Its main character comes from the interaction of bold lavender, warm spices, and a deeper licorice-wood foundation.

About the Fragrance

BYZA names Dior Sauvage Elixir as the inspiration for Virile. The house presents the fragrance in a powerful fougère direction, using bold lavender and dense spice to frame a more mature aromatic idea. The creative emphasis is on a sharp, structured character with a warm foundation. Virile occupies the richer aromatic-woody side of BYZA's collection.

Summary

Virile is a concentrated warm-spicy aromatic built around lavender, dry spice, licorice, woods, and vetiver. Nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and grapefruit make the opening both warm and sharp, with grapefruit adding enough brightness to prevent the spice from feeling immediately heavy. Lavender takes over the center and gives the fragrance a cleaner aromatic core. Licorice, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, and Haitian vetiver then darken the drydown with sweetness, woods, earth, and dryness. It should suit shoppers who enjoy assertive aromatic fragrances with a spicy woody finish rather than soft freshness. The overall effect is bold, structured, and masculine-leaning, moving from bright spice into a deeper lavender-wood base with noticeable warmth.
