One of the best patchouli there is

this is a perfect patchouli perfume.
A scent that takes me to a cold and rainy day, an amazing scent of patchouli, which gives a chocolatey feeling, along with orris butter…

This is a spectacular winter perfume.

This minimalist bottle also really does it for me and I really like it.

Very good performance, I'm letting the bottle I bought recently oxidize a little and will come back to use it again in about a month.

the value for money considering the price is excellent.

For me, this is one of the best perfumes from Francesca Bianchi.

In my opinion, Pardon Extrait de Parfum is a perfume that is very similar to Sticky Fingers, both are good.

9/10.

My favorite patchouli based perfume!

Sticky fingers is a beautiful patchouli scent with side notes as cinnamon, leather and tonka bean. When you spray it on you get a strong whiff of patchouli and some other sweeter notes but in the drydown its lays into a deeper darker patchouli scent. I have recieved many compliments from younger and older people because it is truly amazing! Im super glad i have a bottle and will for sure look for another one when mine is empty. Strongely recommend sticky fingers!!!

Sweater melange

Sticky Fingers is not going to ruffle any feathers. It is a cosy, feel-good diorama of Francesca Bianchi’s back catalogue with most of the hard edges sanded down and its already duvet-thick volume fluffed up by a mille-feuille of chocolatey patchouli, resins, amber, tonka bean, and vanilla.

My own sticky fingers hover over the ‘buy’ button on Sticky Fingers mostly for the last two thirds of its life, which is when it turns into that combination of smells perfume lovers know as ‘sweater mélange’ – that sweet, lived-in aroma of a fabric like wool or coat collar or seatbelt exhaling, like a sigh, the breath of multiple perfumes last worn God knows when. Or that lovely and as-individual-as-a-fingerprint nuclear cloud that rushes up at you when you open a box of your favorite perfumes or cosmetics.

To wit, Sticky Fingers smells like the heady, third-day fug imprinted on my bathrobe after several days of wearing some of Francesca Bianchi’s other perfumes; especially The Dark Side with its honeyed resins, The Lover’s Tale with its sharp leather, and Lost in Heaven for its simultaneously urinous and sherbety civet-iris accord that is practically the Bianchi DNA. Yet Sticky Fingers is much softer and gauzier than any of these. It’s like all of these perfumes mingling together and blown in at you through an air vent from another room.

Digging down into the detail, there are muffled echoes of something of the choco-wheat-cereal notes from indie perfumes of the last few years (like Ummagumma by Bruno Fazzolari, Café Cacao by En Voyage, or Amber Chocolate by Abdes Salaam Attar), but also a spicy tobacco gingerbread (Tan d’Epices), and a thick ‘white’ note like sandalwood creamed with benzoin (Santal Blush perhaps). I sprayed some Ta’if (Ormonde Jayne) over the tail end of Sticky Fingers once and could have sworn to the presence of smoky, caramelized marshmallow (Amber Absolute by Tom Ford). To be clear, Sticky Fingers doesn’t smell like any one of these perfumes. It’s just a delicious, jumbled up funk of rich woody or resinous orientals that have been worn at some point in the past two or three weeks, and have left an indelible, if undefined, impression.

In essence, Sticky Fingers is a patchouli perfume. But through a glass darkly. Think of the patchouli as the soloist leading the charge in a huge orchestra, drawing in supporting riffs from the strings and the bass until the music swells up from a hundred different sources, creating an incredibly rich, harmonious sound that fills all the air pockets in the room. The patchouli starts out solo, a musty, stale, and fruity rendition of pure earth. But almost immediately it calls in the high notes of the string section, in the form of those acidulated orris-leather tones of the Bianchi DNA, and to counter that, the bass tones of grainy tobacco leaf, shredded into tiny pieces and soaked in a glass of cold, floral-anisic Chinese tea. This combination of notes and ‘sounds’ has the effect of roughing up the patchouli, turning it into a hessian cloth accord of earth, stewed tea, and tobacco, back-lit by the yellow streak of ureic civet-iris that runs through Bianchi’s work like battery acid.

This opening act is attention-catching but, focused on two or three accords that ride bullishly over everything else, it feels like we are all waiting this part out until the quieter, richer sound of the rest of the orchestra can spot an opening and rise to fill it. Eventually this happens, a whole chorus of dusty spices and sandblasted resins and micas ‘blooming’ in unison, softening the sharp edges of the Bianchi iris and blurring the outline of the patchouli. If I like the scent thus far, then I start to love it now, just as the central accord thickens up like a custard with the addition of tonka, sandalwood, vanilla, and tons of sparkly resin. This is when the perfume becomes a comforting ‘sweater mélange’.

Patchouli symphony

This is patchouli heaven. I have never been much into patchouli based fragrances, but this is so well composed, blended. The patchouli is the mainplayer yes, gives a chocolaty feel.

It´s so wonderfully crafted, it´s leading the way for all the other players, orris comes in play, earth, tea, sandalwood and with a little bit of sweetness which could be vanilla.

I really enjoy this fragrance for the colder months, such a special scent.

Dry fingers :)

This fragrance is pretty dry, due to dryness of coriander and patchouli here mixed with sweetnes of cinnamon, tonka and tobacco fumes. But with sandalwood in later stages becomes less dry. Very detectable Orris butter with leather, castoreum, heliotrope and musks are giving it that depth and already well known Francesca's signature darkness.

⏱it lasts around 8 hours on my skin
?sillage is strong in the first 2 hours, later on is moderate with a nice scent bubble around you

I tried almost every Francesca Bianchi fragrance and Sticky Fingers is definitely most universal and most mass-appealing from the house and therefore I can advise you to start with this one first if you still haven't had a chance to explore FB creations.

I just need to say that I don't like the sprayer on the new bottles with FB logo on top of the cap, I think the old sprayer was far better for my personal taste but I can't wait to get more frags from this beautiful house.
