Powerful rose
A perfume that pleasantly surprised me.
I must confess that I didn't really like the scent on the blotter. On paper, it has a very bitter and smoky note that at times reminded me a bit of garlic. Rose is also a note that I sometimes struggle with... In some perfumes, I find it elegant and delicate, but in others, it feels very intrusive... and I thought this would be the case.
But no... As soon as I sprayed the perfume on my skin, a ton of different nuances began to appear. Rose is the main note of the fragrance. A very intense yet beautiful and elegant rose. It's one of the most powerful rose perfumes I've tried, and it lasted more than 18 hours on my skin.
A perfume where the rose, nuanced by saffron and pepper, and with a very light fruity note, rests on a woody and slightly creamy base, where the leather stands out the most. A leather that has nothing to do with the typical accords reminiscent of burnt oil or gasoline. This is a rather smoky leather that reminds me a bit of the accords Francesca Bianchi uses in her fragrances.
This perfume has its place in my collection. It's just the rose I was missing.

A different view over jasmine
I am trying this perfume and It is really amazing!! After a fresh and citric opening the Jasmine arrives surrounded by Green and very natural tones. All these together with a very energetically spicy charge of pepper and cloves among others.
To the dry down the fragrance becomes warmer with a Woody base nuances by animalic notes of castoreum and musks.
It is the perfect all day fragrance, wrapping you Into a delicate floral aura which lasts for ours. If you like White flowers, you really need to try HooDoo blues! An Olfactive exoerience which IS already in my wishlust list!!!!

Fruity and sensual leather
I think this perfume is a great work by perfumer Patrice Revillard for the house Scene Fragrances. I have to say that in my case the behavior is totally different when I try it on my skin or on blotting paper.
On paper, what stands out the most for me are the fruits. A very pleasant, fleshy prick that disappears to give way to amber leather.
On leather, however, what I feel most from the beginning is the leather. It is not an excessively intense leather, but rather a very easy to wear and pleasant leather. The fruits stay much more in the background, although they are also noticeable, giving a certain fun point to the fragrance.
Despite having leather, it maintains a relatively fresh character at all times, which makes it very versatile and perfect for any time of the year. As for the occasion, I see it more for informal occasions, perfect for outings, dinners with friends and afternoons. Of course, with moderate INTENSITY, I also see it as a great option as a perfume for work.
Performance is moderate, lasting between 6-8 hours and with moderate projection. Definitely one of my super discoveries for 2025.

Elegant floral vanilla
La nuit...transfiguree is a magical perfume for me. It opens sweet and floral. A mixture of spices and violets, very special and unique. Little by little it becomes more floral, with the dry sensation of geranium and the silky sensation of rose. For 1-2 hours it is a mainly powdery and spicy perfume.
From that moment on, the vanilla and Ambroxan rise, gradually becoming a mainly vanilla perfume. The drydown is therefore soft and creamy, with that mixture of Ambroxan with vanilla, sandalwood and a beautiful musk.
It is a soft perfume, with a soft INTENSITY and projection, which is present and felt at times. However, the duration is good, on my skin it lasts perfectly for about 8 hours, with the last hours being a perfume that is smelled mostly at skin level.
It is a very elegant perfume, perfect for work or for daytime events. A perfect choice for spring or cool summer evenings.

A very weareable oud. Beautiful but too commercial
I would like to start by saying that Francesca Bianchi is one of my favorite perfumers and also one of my favorite perfume brands. Especially with the perfumes of the first collections: the lover's tale, sex & the sea.... Real unique bombs with exceptional performances.
However, among their latest launches I can't find a fragrance that really creates a need for me to buy (considering that I already have many of them).
And that is the case with voluptuous oud. I love the perfume itself. It's one of those perfumes that smell good. Woody, caramelized, slightly fruity and woody, and with that special touch of leather that Francesca gives to her fragrances but, for me, it's too conventional a scent, more so coming from her. It is as if lately she is looking to expand her sales radius by creating softer and more commercial fragrances, following more the fashion and tastes of most people at the moment.
And a funny thing that happens to me is that in these latest launches they all look too much like others to me. It happened to me with byzantine amber, a perfume that I loved but that reminded me of a much softer version of The dark Side, a perfume I already own. Then it happened to me with Encounters, a perfume that by scent would be one of my favorites, but that resembles too much to two others I already had: Divine perversion and Luxe Calme volupte, that yes, again with a much lower performance..
And voluptuous oud was not going to be different. In this case I have to say that the top notes managed to seduce me. A licoricey, citrusy and sweet top note but with a slight animalic touch produced by the oud. "It seems that Francesca is taking a risk again, and I love it...". But no, it was just a mirage and immediately the intensity dropped to lead me to a perfume that I already have in my collection "Divine perversion". Actually VO is like DP but changing the raspberry for an oud note that only stands out at the top, because afterwards, as in the hedonik perfume, what stands out the most is the leather and caramel.
Does it smell good? It smells great, in fact that's why I gave it the highest score here. Does it perform well? Compared to Francesca's initial perfumes you notice quite a big drop but still, if you compare it to other niche brands of similar or even higher price range the performance is still good, just not exceptional as before Would I buy it? Well, the answer is that I honestly would not. Although I liked the output I do not see sense having Divine perversion because for the price range it seems to me a high investment for unfrute that lasts about 15 minutes. I think that if you don't have Divine Perversion or The Black Knight in your collection and you are looking for a sweet leather perfume with touches of oud easy to wear, it can be a very good option since Francesca always offers a very good quality fornthe PRICE.
Anyway, although I don't dislike it, it becomes a new "pass" for me. And it makes me very sad since I'm looking forward to find a new Francesca perfume that I fell in love with. We will continue to wait...
