Encounters

by Francesca Bianchi

Francesca Bianchi Perfumes Encounters is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Francesca Bianchi. Encounters opens with Lavender, Redcurrant Leaf, Coriander, and Bergamot, and settles into a heart of Rose, Orris Butter, Angelica, and Cinnamon. Francesca Bianchi Perfumes's Encounters carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one's a proper chameleon. Expect a polarizing opening that mellows into something genuinely elegant - a buttery, woody iris that's pure class. Francesca Bianchi's unique animalic DNA is here, but softened, making it a surprisingly alluring wear for those who appreciate complex, evolving scents. Definitely not a blind buy.

About

Encounters kicks off with a vibrant jolt of bergamot and redcurrant leaf, quickly giving way to a rich, almost edible iris butter heart laced with delicate rose and a whisper of cinnamon. Beneath this floral-spicy blend, a warm amber and woody base emerges, featuring a non-aggressive oud that adds depth and an intriguing animalic warmth, all softened by balsamic resins.
