Her passion for creating fragrances was ignited by reading a book on natural perfumery. Since then, she has been studying and experimenting with fragrances. Francesca has lived in several European cities, including Florence, Berlin, Luxembourg, and Amsterdam, and worked in the publishing industry for art publications. In Amsterdam, where she currently lives, she finally created her own perfume line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to her eponymous brand, Francesca is also responsible for her leather-focused brand \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.duftkunsthandlung.de\/collections\/hedonik\" title=\"Hedonik\"\u003eHedonik\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"francesca-bianchi-angels-dust","title":"Angel's Dust","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powdery, rosy, balsamic\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMood:\u003c\/strong\u003e classic, vintage, soft, decadent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In a dusty boudoir of yesteryear, a mistress applies her lipstick while waiting for her lover to arrive. \u003cbr\u003eFace powder floats in the air, mingling with the scent of roses and the woody aroma of the wainscoting.

This old-fashioned, vintage-style interpretation wasn't voluntary, but a necessary consequence of my idea of ​​femininity in bygone times, when women had a wooden boudoir and spent hours applying powder and other beauty secrets to their faces and bodies, and weren't concerned with finding validation through their careers, but rather with exerting their power through beauty and seduction. I then softened the powdery iris-rose component with a blend of resins that represent a dirty, lived-in sensuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSome films and books have probably inspired me. Les Liaisons Dangereuses, for example, embodied exactly the sophisticated and depraved atmosphere I was looking for! A fond memory I had is Marie Antoniette in Coppola's film. I certainly like the Rococo style, but what I particularly like about this film is the femininity she portrays: shoes, sins, promiscuity, cakes, and absolute carefreeness, without any guilt.

It all began in Marrakesh, one of my favorite cities, which I visited when I was 28 and then 39, returning time and time again with a slew of fake oils, scent stones, resins for burning, rugs, swords, and other useless but vital items. Last time, I returned with many smelly bottles, including a delicious fake oud oil. I was never a fan of those—since they've been so fashionable lately, and I hate trends—but this one is different. So, at home, I tried to develop my own base, inspired by that Moroccan oud fake, and created a sticky-sweet, woody-smoky, oriental stuff I called 'My Oud.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSome time later, I began my project \"Dark Side\" (then called \"Into Darkness\") and integrated this foundation into the project. I added all the components of 'My Oud' in the correct proportions to the larger formula of 'Dark Side'.

It's also an accord I've only recently begun to develop an emotional connection with. But I wanted to push it further, challenging its traditional boundaries with an unexpected twist: a vibrant tropical fruit accord, with juicy, delicious mango at its heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This exotic note interrupts the predictable accord of the fougère, transforming it into something familiar yet surprising. The result is a fragrance that is recognizable yet refreshingly different. It takes a moment to recognize the familiar fougère footprint beneath the lush and original facet of the fruitiness. \u003cbr\u003eFor me, this fragrance evokes a joyful sense of surprise—a contrast between the grounding comfort of the fougère and the playful brightness of the tropical fruits. It feels indulgent yet invigorating, profound but never heavy, delicious without slipping into gourmand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e I also set myself a second challenge: I wanted to avoid iris or iris-like accords altogether and keep the animal notes to a minimum, just a few clean musk notes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francesca Bianchi","offers":[{"title":"30 mL","offer_id":54592445350232,"sku":"FB-CODE-30","price":118.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/6544\/3928\/files\/francesca-bianchi-the-code-of-emotion-30ml.jpg?v=1776532155"},{"product_id":"francesca-bianchi-essentials-sample-set","title":"Francesca Bianchi Essentials Sample Set","description":"\u003cp\u003e This practical discovery set contains 4 fragrances from Francesca Bianchi's Essential Collection in a 1.5 ml introductory size that are not included in the regular Discovery Set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis new collection showcases her artistic exploration of the pillars of perfumery, the most interesting raw materials with which she has worked in a very personal way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Practical for traveling or simply to test and get to know the fragrance universe of this brand in peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Fragrances included: Voluptuous Oud, Libertine Neroli, Unspoken Musk, Byzantine Amber\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francesca Bianchi","offers":[{"title":"4 x 1.5 ml","offer_id":55031760650584,"sku":"FB-ESSA-SET","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/6544\/3928\/files\/francesca-bianchi-essentials-sample-set.jpg?v=1749136478"},{"product_id":"francesca-bianchi-once-upon-a-time","title":"Es war einmal","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comforting, Familiar, Warm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScent Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gourmand, Sweet, Fruity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the world were ending, what memories would you preserve?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the memory of playing with flour in the kitchen with your grandmother – or someone who cared for you when you were a child; the scent of a freshly peeled mandarin in your small hands; the sweetness of cotton candy from the amusement park a loved one used to take you to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis creation is based on personal memories of universal value, memories of childhood joys that bring us comfort in adulthood.\u003cbr\u003eThe result is a gourmand perfume for adults, driven by emotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich emotions do you want to preserve?
