Francesca Bianchi Perfumes - Byzantine Amber
Golden-warm amber glow fills Franchesca Bianchi's interpretation of a shimmering amber fragrance, creating an image of olfactory decadence presented in the opulent golden tones of Byzantine Amber contrasted by dark, animalic aromas. Glittering warmth and dramatic splendour combine in Bianchi's fragrance to create a hypnotic sound that captures the beauty of the golden mosaics of the Byzantine Empire, which can still be glimpsed today, and the dark drama of their transience. With skilfully orchestrated theatricality and the highest aesthetic standards, Byzantine Amber presents itself as a stirringly sensual composition.
The fragrance:
Spicy and warming, citrusy bergamot notes open Byzantine Amber's arrangement alongside sensual cinnamon. Aromatic geranium notes form its rosy-green fruity centre supported by an amber accord, which Franchesca Bianchi embeds in a seductive base. An irresistible melange of incense, leather, styrax and benzoin united with labdanum and ambergris, its splendour beguiles the senses with the leathery-smoky intensity of animalic sounds. In the classic, straightforwardly designed flacon of the house, Byzantine Amber presents itself as an overwhelmingly attractive fragrance full of depth and glamour.
