Francesca Bianchi Perfumes Luxe Calme Volupte is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Francesca Bianchi. Luxe Calme Volupte opens with Bitter Orange and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Ylang-Ylang, Galbanum, and Mango, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Iris, and Benzoin. Francesca Bianchi Perfumes's Luxe Calme Volupte carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a wildcard. Some reckon it's a 'masterpiece' of 'calming luxury', transporting them with its unique blend of green, fruit, and vintage charm. Others can't get past a 'challenging' opening, describing it as 'urine and rotting fruit' or worse. Definitely not a blind buy.

About

Luxe Calme Volupte opens with a sharp, bitter green rush of galbanum and zesty citruses. This quickly transitions, allowing a medley of ripe, tropical fruits and delicate hyacinth to emerge, underpinned by a creamy, slightly powdery iris. The journey culminates in a warm, resinous base of opoponax, benzoin, and grounding vetiver, carrying a distinct vintage character. It’s a complex, evolving scent that dances between sharp verdancy and soft, balsamic sweetness.
