Else

by Michele Marin

Francesca Dell'Oro Else is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Michele Marin. Else opens with Mineral, Mandarin, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Champaca, Cassia, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Orris, Oakmoss, Patchouli, and Amber. Francesca Dell'Oro's Else carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This one is a proper head-turner, and frankly, a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect smoky-ashy vintage vibes that will either transport you to a forgotten era or repel you entirely. Definitely sample before committing.

Its powerful, vintage, and smoky character makes it completely unsuitable for the office or casual daywear. This scent excels in formal settings or intimate dates where its bold personality can shine without overwhelming those around you.

About

Else opens with a fiery, almost boozy blast, blending citruses with a bold tobacco note reminiscent of stale ashtrays and rich spice. A classic floral heart of carnation and rose emerges, softened by a powdery orris. The dry down is dense and deep, a complex tapestry of earthy patchouli, oakmoss, and warm amber, all underscored by an enduring, slightly bitter tobacco that conjures images of antique grandeur and forgotten secrets.
