Francesca Bianchi Perfumes Voluptuous Oud is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Francesca Bianchi. Voluptuous Oud opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Heliotrope and Plum, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Oud, and Tolu Balsam. Francesca Bianchi Perfumes's Voluptuous Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Francesca Bianchi's "safe" gourmand oud is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some revel in its accessible sweetness, calling it an instant hit and a masterpiece. Others find it a creative misstep, arguing it's too commercial and lacking the brand's signature edge. A divisive but undoubtedly impactful release.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty burst of citrus from mandarin and bergamot, quickly softening into a luscious heart of ripe plum and powdery heliotrope. The sweetness deepens into a rich caramel, woven with supple leather, earthy vetiver, and a smooth, mellow oud. A resinous tolu balsam adds a warm, balsamic depth to the luxurious base.
