Francesca Bianchi Perfumes The Black Knight is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Francesca Bianchi. The Black Knight opens with Caraway, Honey, Beeswax, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Orris, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Francesca Bianchi Perfumes's The Black Knight carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This is Francesca Bianchi at her most polarising. A potent, animalic leather beast with a cult following, but just as many detractors who find it raw and challenging. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test first if you dare.

About

Opens with an intense, realistic animalic leather, earthy and profound. As it settles, honey and beeswax surface, adding a dark, resinous sweetness and a waxy texture. Hints of powdery orris and aromatic notes interweave, while a rugged vetiver and oakmoss ground the composition in an almost medieval, earthy depth. It's a complex, evolving scent that reveals different facets over time, from smoky bonfire to soft florals, always underpinned by that commanding leather.
