Francesca Bianchi is an independent perfumer and founder of Francesca Bianchi Perfumes. With a background in art history and publishing, she approaches fragrance as a deeply personal form of artistic expression, building compositions around emotion, intimacy, memory and instinct. She began studying perfumery independently and today conceives and formulates each fragrance herself in her laboratory, with production later carried out in Grasse and finishing in Milan. Her work is deliberately distinctive, often rich, sensual and complex, with a strong emphasis on emotional impact rather than universal appeal.
Francesca Bianchi The Dark Side has completely taken me by surprise. From its extraordinary spicy honey opening to a warm, skin-like drydown, this complex Extrait de Parfum delivers one of my most memorable recent fragrance experiences.
Francesca Bianchi does not create perfumes to please everyone. We explore the independent perfumer’s story, distinctive olfactory language and latest creation, Insomnia.
Francesca Bianchi Insomnia turns sleepless nights into fragrance, blending narcotic florals, mineral tension and dark woods in a new Extrait de Parfum.
