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.

Égoïste. Excentrique. Humaniste.
1990. After the epochal classics Pour Monsieur from 1955 and Antaeus from 1981 only the 3rd perfume for men from the house of Chanel. And the first men's fragrance with sandalwood as a dominant note. And again a milestone.
Personally,...
