Francesca Bianchi Perfumes Under My Skin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Francesca Bianchi. Under My Skin opens with Spicy Notes, Grapefruit, Lavender, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Francesca Bianchi Perfumes's Under My Skin carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Francesca Bianchi's Under My Skin is an unapologetically sensual, divisive beast. It's a 'your skin but better' scent for some, a 'sweaty dirty goat' for others. Dive in if you're ready for an animalic, powdery, and deeply intimate experience - it's a masterpiece to its admirers, a migraine to its detractors.

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.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

With beast-mode longevity and projection, this intimate yet assertive scent is too much for the office. It excels in romantic settings, where its sensual, 'after-sex' vibe can be truly appreciated, but its strong animalic profile makes it less suitable for casual or sport wear.

Declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Under My Skin opens with a fleeting spark of lavender and grapefruit, quickly succumbing to a rich, warm spicy heart of carnation and orris. Its true character emerges in a deep, animalic embrace of castoreum, leather, and musky balsams, softened by creamy vanilla and sandalwood. This fragrance conjures an exquisite tension between raw sensuality and powdery elegance, settling into a complex, skin-like warmth.
