They are called B Exquisite for Women and B Exquisite for Men. The perfumes present themselves as more upscale offerings than what we are accustomed to seeing from the brand.

It is worth pointing out that Bijan Fragrances started on the background of a discreet fanfare with their debut scent Bijan for Men in 1981 which was issued in limited numbers at 10 000 copies in hand-blown Baccarat bottles and priced $3,000....

Ninfeo-Mio-ad-B.jpg
Following Un Matin d'Orage, Annick Goutal will launch a new perfume in their garden series from February 2010 called Ninfeo Mio.

This representation Camille Goutal and perfumer Isabelle Doyen were told a few months ago was very close to what can be experienced in the Edenic Giardino di Ninfa in Rome...
