Byzantium

It later became the capital of the Roman Empire during the reign of Constantine the First, and the seat of the later to follow Ottoman Empire.

Wander the Sacred Palace of the Emperors, the Hippodrome, and the Golden Gate and enjoy the scents of the city's glorious ancient history, rich in many cultures, that still lives on today: Temple incense, frankincense resins, eastern woods, ripe pomegranates, mixed with softer notes of exotic florals, black pepper, light clove, and trailing background notes of sweet orange and passum. Rich and complex with a soft spiciness on the dry down.
