Mediterranean morning

It is like waking up on a morning at a hotel on the Mediterranean coast - a warm wind gently sways organza curtains and brings the delightful aromas of a blossoming orange garden. Serenity and relaxation - the morning could not be more beautiful and sweet.

My surprise for your summer

One of the most surprising summer fragrances you will encounter and it is definitely not just for summer!

A neroli and coconut perfume that also incorporates Benzion honey, Labdanum and other notes that blend into a luxurious and impressive harmony that provides longevity and SILLAGE that will leave a mark for many hours.

Without a doubt, a quality surprise for my summer and yours.

The first time I smelled it, my mind took me to imagining that I was wearing this perfume on a Friday afternoon, a beautiful sunny day, at the marina while wearing a short button-down shirt and sunglasses.

In this situation, you'll probably want to wear a beautiful, powerful perfume so that everyone will notice where you are.

9/10.

The winning combination

This scent is the first perfume I have from this house!
The perfume opens with a strong neroli with a combination of coconut and benzoin that makes this scent very deep and very soft. My friend and I bought it together for our first time and are looking forward to wearing it in the summer with a short button-down shirt on the beach with a coconut cocktail

For me : 8/10

Musky sunblock

Just when I was about to give up on Francesca Bianchi's work, this sunny fragrance came along and made me reconsider all that. Its carnal aspects are magnified to huge proportions, as usual with Francesca Bianchi. But where I tend to dislike the sticky, greasy effects when it comes to her leathery fragrances, I kind of like it in here.

Sex and the Sea Neroli is a rather classic neroli-coconut-benzoin formula including a little "ambre solaire" accord and is a close resemblance to sun tan lotion. Or more precise, to the sticky, salty skin sensation after a long at at the beach. There is an offensive amount of musk as you would expect from Bianchi, but that gets sorted out nicely after the opening. A carnal, musky undertone remains, though, without going really animalic. A good dose of salt keeps the sweet notes like benzoin and vanilla under control, also during hot summer days.

So I would describe this a proper summer scent with the usual beach and sunblock vibes, but a little less lotion-like and a little added carnality Bianchi-style. I haven't tried all of her work yet, but so far I think this is among the nicer ones, together with Freefall - Etruscan Water.

Sister Scent

A lot of time when you see a flanker, the new fragrance will have one or two notes different from its original scent. Most of the time its not a notable change, its practically a clone of the original, and it feels more like a cash grab than a real exploration of the fragrance with different highlights.

This is not the case with Sex and The Sea Neroli. This fragrance starts with a strong floral that softens into sweet bouquet and hint of citrus. It has less coconut but is sweeter and more flroal compared to its "sister" Sex and The Sea. It retains the musk, slightly animalic, creamy dry down that you get from most of Francesca's fragrances. I cannot pick which one is "better" because while they are similar, they stand out from each other very noticeably. I will say I think the original scent is more beach and musk while this is more spring and musk.

The scent did last on my skin for over 6 hours and it didn't have strong projection but this is intended to be a skin scent. They offer 30ml for €108 and 100ml for €235.

The rating here is definitely not worthy of the beauty of this perfume.

The sexiest neroli I’ve ever tested. Tropical sweaty and slightly animalic. Beautiful scent, a bit too saturated for summer in my opinion

Sweet sunburnt skin on a summer's eve salty and unwashed from the beach. Can't say enough how wonderfully uniquely lovely this is.

Here - where carnal pleasures take their flight, Amidst the sea, the blossoms and the orange trees, We indulge in sins with careless ease.

Sweet Coconut and Neroli with FB Dry down. Way too sweet, strong & headache inducing for me, but undeniable quality.

I know sex and I know 'the sea' - this scent has nothing to do with either.
'With sunscreen on a float in the kiddie pool' would be more fitting.

Little Iris plays with her flowers and little animals.
Then a coconut falls on the neroli wooden head.
And it smells strongly of coconut.
