Francesca Bianchi Libertine Neroli Extrait

Description

Libertine Neroli is sunny orange blossom over leather, oakmoss and a warm animalic base: neroli with its sleeves rolled up. Released in 2022, it was Francesca Bianchi's first fragrance devoted to a single ingredient, and she built it as a chypre rather than a simple floral. The house points to Roman Dolce Vita, Roman Holiday and The Talented Mr. Ripley: pleasure, freedom and relaxed luxury. Petitgrain and bergamot open it, Tunisian neroli, iris and geranium form the heart, and oakmoss, an animalic accord, leather, labdanum and benzoin give it depth. Reviewers describe a saturated neroli heart with far more sensuality than most orange-blossom fragrances.

Scent Character

Translation: floral and woody in balance: neroli and iris on a mossy chypre base. The leather share is leather and an animalic accord, not oud.
