What a dissappointment
As a BIG fan of Francesca Bianchi I am quite disappointed.
I certainly expected something along the lines and characteristic level of her in terms of fragrance "presence" and performance.
This is not the case.
Yes, it is an interesting perfume when combining that fruity and sweet output with leather, which is animalic but nothing to be with what is Francesca Bianchi in her line that she signs with her own name ... this is a "soft juice" compared to that.
Whoever finds this animalic, with only a Lovers Tale puff is going to commit suicide, or even Black Knight for example.
It has a nice creamy contour which is a characteristic feature also in Luxe Calme Volupté, but the pineapple here goes raspberry and instead of a green hue, it goes to leather ... but a sweet leather. It is not one of those classic Pure Distance, Tom Ford ... etc leathers.
Too bad it does not have a Bianchi performance neither in projection, silage nor in duration.
I have applied 5-6 sprays and if you do that with a fragrance from Francesca's traditional line, I don't have to explain what happens to anyone who knows ... in this case this is light years away.
The lasting of 5-6 sprays of this, on my skin, is one third of only 2 sprays of a Lovers Tale, or a Sex and the Sea, Black Knight ... and half that of 3-4 sprays of Angel's Dust , Dark Side, Lost in Heaven ...
I am afraid that the direction of the creations of FB is far from what many of us knew in its beginnings.
