Libertine Neroli

by Francesca Bianchi

Francesca Bianchi Perfumes Libertine Neroli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Francesca Bianchi. Libertine Neroli opens with Petitgrain and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Iris, Neroli, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Leather, Oakmoss, and Benzoin. Francesca Bianchi Perfumes's Libertine Neroli carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Francesca Bianchi's Libertine Neroli is a wildly divisive beast. Some find it a masterful, deep neroli chypre with animalic swagger, others recoil at its old-school intensity, calling it dated and heavy-handed. You'll either love its vintage charm or find it thoroughly unwearable.

Given its strong sillage, long-lasting nature, and prominent animalic chypre base, it's a bit much for an office setting. It truly shines for date nights or elegant formal events, where its unique, sensual character can be appreciated. While some wear it casually, its complexity and depth lean it away from a light everyday scent.

About

Opens with a sharp, almost bitter citrus burst from petitgrain and bergamot, far from your typical fresh neroli splash. As it settles, iris adds a sophisticated, powdery floral depth, while geranium lends a subtle green spark. The real drama unfolds in the base, where a prominent, dense oakmoss intertwines with labdanum and animalic notes, creating a complex, lived-in leather chypre. It’s an intoxicating blend of bright florals over a shadowy, earthy foundation.
