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.

Divine Perversion.......the name is program.......meiomeiomei
I had ordered a 3-ml filling for expensive 12 €. I knew neither the brand nor the fragrance, but....ich try yes like new or completely unknown to me.

Then the day of the first test......sprayed, waited, smelled..... almost fell off the chair....

"Divine Perversion" there you have to be very very strong to (er)wear this fragrance.

I was almost slain when I sprayed on "Divine Perversion". It smelled like fresh skid marks, like rubber - I couldn't detect any raspberries let alone any "fruit".... also no pink pepper (although some spiciness showed up- minimal)

Ok - after about 20 minutes the rubber calmed down.
Then something animalic with lots of amber came out. Oh my god. Please make it somehow still smell like caramel, or like something floral, like rose or iris or at least like wood....... Please!!!
My prayers have not been answered. ?

Hours later. My husband and I sat in the conservatory with a glass of wine. Suddenly my husband says "what's that perfume you have on you? That turns me right on"
What???
I incredulous: " Do you really find that beautiful - this smell?"
HE: "Yes - very much so"
I: "Ok - but I do not"
Because in the meantime I smelled (subjectively) only somehow ..... "bubble gum".
Either my sense of smell for this perfume is not suitable (I have unfortunately a very very sensitive sense of smell - highly pronounced to bad smells), or I associate too much because of the name "Divine Perversion" - with "perversion" you can associate all sorts of negative - all sorts of bad....anrüchiges..

For me, this perfume is nothing - sorry.

I had nevertheless granted him several tests. Each time with the same result: Never, ever!!
Even if my husband found it pleasant..... I just can't smell it!

But thank God tastes are different and as different as there are different people on this earth.

It's just my subjective perception. But...maybe there are people who feel the same way as I do.

Bianchi on the rocks
When I asked my niche fragrance dealer in the Veedel when he expects the new Goodsir Corpus Equus, he informed me well aware of my fragrance fetishes about this new Bianchi and their new brand. I was hot right then. Then he mentioned the name - "Divine Perversion" - and now I was horny. A Bianchi with that name! And with leather! Yes! That must be it. Mentally, I had already pre-ordered him.

Back home off into the net. Hmm, the brand and fragrance name on this bottle so and at all. Is not that yet all what too striking? Continue reading, the Hedonik Store was not yet unlocked, the Instagram page for it also not, but when it was then and I saw the additional leather accessories and the fashion concept to the brand, as my skepticism grew. Fortunately, I had not pre-ordered it.

Then I was allowed to spend two days with the fragrance - thank you, dear Mr. Dubben!

Divine Perversion starts with a whole basket of gorgeous, ripe raspberries, the pink pepper gives the lush fruits enough 'pepper' that no jam needs to be spooned, here is toasted with sparkling raspberry champagne. In an interview Francesca Bianchi calls this opening phase "sparkling sweetness". Class!
For me, the rose also comes early from the heart to it, from the leather I get the first hours nothing to hardly anything, but certainly it serves subliminally, perhaps it also intercepts the artificiality of the per se synthetic fruit note. Anyway, according to Bianchi, the leather is a vertical note that dominates from beginning to end.
(By the way, should anyone think whether the combo of leather and raspberry of Tuscan Leather & Co, forget it, Divine Perversion is not in spraying proximity.)

The aforementioned first few hours are quite long, these are not top notes, these are thick head notes. The raspberry is clearly present for three, four hours and only then comes with the iris butter something of the usual Bianchi feeling. The rose has grown with that time and yes, there's caramel too, but it's dark and slightly salty, not gourmand caramel. Thank you, dear Francesca!
The heart note is more of a smooth transition and briskly everything melts into the - really beautiful, gentle base. By then, more leather has long since arrived and is increasingly widening, it is new, light leather and in harmony with wood and amber, the extract goes into a long stay. "Animal notes" I no longer perceive here, even their mention in the fragrance pyramid does not help.

Divine Perversion is absolutely successful as a concept fragrance. The brand Hedonik is about "Pleasure, elegance and sensuality" and all that I find in the fragrance again. Whether you love it so much that you find it divine is a matter of opinion, in any case, the 'Divine' came before the 'Perversion'. A friendly tester or testing friend found him namely divine.
Perversion, nada. This is a very sensual fragrance and for me just substantially distinctive enough to classify him unisex. My prediction, however, is that more women than men will wear and love him.

Francesca Bianchi said in this interview that Divine Perversion is not as daring or bold ("daring") as The Lover's Tale or Under My Skini, but also resonates with a certain animalism, but is "more relaxed."
I'll pass here. Who looks in my collection, understands me certainly better, in any case, I lacked here the force and depth, which I admire so much in my Bianchis. The raspberry hours last too long for me, the heart phase too short and the late, long base is not special enough for me against the background of my collection.

In this case, I do not (yet) give a fragrance rating. As a match to the concept would be a 10 for me, assessed as a fragrance beyond my preferences at least an 8, measured against my anticipatory, false expectations rather a 5 or 6, but that would somehow also not right.

Two days after these two days, still in the same week, then Corpus Equus arrived and has galloped blowing tail into my collection.

A warm and creamy/sweet, gently leathery, fruity-floral Fall fragrance, with a rather pungent metallic earthy-spicy opening. More feminine.
