A rich, seductive, and absolutely lustful interpretation of Oud: Francesca wanted to offer a warm and comforting experience, but with the dirty and animalic intensity of Oud. It is a fragrance that once again expresses her obsession with human intimacy and the experience of it: the infinite sweetness of bodily closeness, the search for the animal aspect in human beings. A search for the quintessence of humanity, starting from *Sex and the Sea* and *Under My Skin*, passing through *The Lover’s Tale* and *Unspoken Musk*.
It is a fragrance that, in its extrait formulation, shows all its complexity and sweetness, sensuality, and lust, like a magical realm of abundance.
It is the wonderful feeling of opulence and fullness of a round Oud, which combines its woody part with animalic and leathery aspects, whose sometimes very pungent character is softened by the sweetness of caramel.
The other typical aspect of this beautiful material, which resembles cheese, is amplified but in a gourmand sense, accentuated by creamy, buttery, and fruity notes (plum). The same sensation of richness, abundance, and extreme sweetness found in Middle Eastern pastries, very sweet and exuberant.

Perfumer Francesca Bianchi creates exceptional, stunning perfumes that express her deepest emotions. Having been inspired to make perfumes by the many places she has visited and worked in the world, such as Marrakesh, Amsterdam and Florence, this former art history graduate and art book publisher now oversees the entire perfume creation process. From blending and sourcing own ingredients to bottling, packaging and distribution.
A unique tradition
INSPIRED BY MEMORIES
A sensualist and art historian, Bianchi is drawn to the more expressive and emotional aspects of perfume; she believes that any perfume that evokes an emotion or a memory is better than one that simply pays homage to a certain material.
She is personally inspired by memories of childhood scents, smells of various places, face creams, people, even dreams - her true measure as an artist is that she expresses these feelings most clearly through her perfumes without losing any of the original intensity. Her perfumes are like strong, mysterious, sensual and hungry creatures that completely devour their wearer.
DESIRE TO SPARK AN EMOTION
Francesca is mostly inspired by the power of what it means to be human, by the wish to connect with people’s inner life, the desire to spark an emotion in them and make them feel at home in their own bodies, offer solace, or just a quick fix for a bad day. Olfactory signals travel with no mediation – just in a couple of synapses – to the limbic system, the place assigned to memory and emotions in our brain. As a result, the reaction triggered by the sense of smell is biologically inescapable, not liable to manipulation. It therefore fully satisfies our longing for authenticity.
Her perfumes have gained a reputation for being sensual and provocative, probably as a consequence of their focus on human nature and intimacy.
