Francesca Bianchi Libertine Neroli

Libertine Neroli Extrait de Parfum by Francesca Bianchi  Neroli, Unchained

Launched in 2022, Libertine Neroli Extrait de Parfum is a bold, animalic, and deeply original creation from the celebrated Italian independent perfumer Francesca Bianchi, composed entirely by the master herself. A Chypre Floral unisex fragrance in the highest concentration  Extrait de Parfum Libertine Neroli takes one of perfumery’s most beloved and luminous ingredients and liberates it from its conventional role. This is not the clean, fresh neroli of mainstream fragrance. This is neroli as Francesca Bianchi sees it: radiant and honeyed at the surface, but dark, animalic, and deeply sensual beneath. A fragrance for those who understand that true beauty has depth.

The Scent Journey

• Top Notes: Bergamot and Petitgrain. A clean, aromatic, and gently bitter citrus opening. Bergamot sparkling and luminous, and petitgrain adding a woody, slightly green bitterness that gives the opening an immediate sophistication and sets the stage for the neroli heart to come.
• Middle Notes: Tunisian Neroli, Iris and Geranium. A magnificent, deeply characterful floral heart. Tunisian neroli among the finest and most honeyed nerolis in the world, steam-distilled from the blossoms of bitter orange trees in the Nabeul region of Tunisia is the undisputed star of the composition, radiant, honeyed, and slightly waxy. Iris adds its cool, powdery, aristocratic depth, and geranium a rosy-green freshness that keeps the heart feeling alive and luminous.
• Base Notes: Oakmoss, Labdanum, Leather, Animal Notes and Benzoin. A dark, animalic, and deeply provocative drydown that is the true signature of Francesca Bianchi’s art. Oakmoss cool and damp with its classic chypre earthiness, labdanum dark and cistus-amber warm, leather smooth and commanding, animal notes adding a raw, skin-like sensuality that is deeply intimate and entirely intentional, and benzoin sweet and balsamic, softening the darkness with a warm, resinous comfort.

Libertine Neroli is Francesca Bianchi at her most fearless the contrast between the luminous, honeyed neroli heart and the dark, animalic base is the masterstroke that makes this fragrance genuinely unforgettable. In its Extrait de Parfum concentration, every facet is rendered at maximum intensity. A collector’s piece for those who demand the extraordinary.
