Boozy and warm vanilla extract combined with a beautiful earthy patchouli. It opens with the patchouli, which is earthy, syrupy and subtly smoky. As it dries there is more of that warm, almost toasted vanilla. It is sweet in a mellow syrupy way, and tempered by the smokiness. It feels dark and inviting. This has very quickly become a favorite, and it has come to feel very "me".
I find it to be quite strong and it lasts for a whole day.

A bright, white floral, and aromatic opening with a rich, earthy and bitter patchouli that keeps the overall feeling rather dark. It is not a syrupy or chocolatey patch, and I find it works well in warmer weather.
It makes me think of a deep indigo blue... like a blueberry, earthy and refreshing (but it doesn't smell like blueberry haha)

This opens a little bit funky/animalic, and has a little medicinal spice too, however it dries into a gorgeous, rich chocolatey patchouli. The leather here is subtle (compared to others from this house), and overall it is creamy, powdery, earthy and lightly spiced... I think the tonka bean + heliotrope is doing a lot here.
It feels like black fabric, brown leather, and gilded reliquaries. Rich and jewel-toned.
Overall Sticky Fingers has a very comforting and nostalgic feel to me, might be my favorite of the Francesca BIanchi's I have tried so far...

This scent is elegant in a natural, ethereal sort of way. To me it feels like playing a piano on a summer evening, lacquered wood, ebony keys, with soft rose and heady white flowers coming in on the breeze through a window.

The opening of this on me is definitely funky (it has a subtle wet woodchip + manure pile smell), but it slowly blooms into a gorgeous woody floral. The rose gives it subtle freshness, there’s some narcotic/heady white flowers, and a rich elegant woody base. The oud in this reminds me strongly of ebony wood. Everything in this scent feels like it came from the natural world. It’s just beautiful.

This perfume feels like being in a victorian smoking room, with dark lacquered rosewood panels on the walls, well-worn leather armchairs, and stacks of leather-bound books. The room is warmly lit by brass lamps with green shades, and red velvet curtains cover the windows. The scent is elegant, contemplative, and a dark rich jewel toned red.

The scent itself is very hard to describe, it starts really strong and vinegar-like. It dries into a warm, spicy wood. There's a hint of smokiness, a vanillic touch, and balsamic woods. I fell in love (despite hoping I wouldn't... it is costly), it is just so unique in my collection, and it never fails to brighten my mood. One spray lasts me all day, it's strong.
