Francesca Bianchi Perfumes Encounters

Francesca Bianchi - Encounters

Encounters is the touchpoint of East and West manifested in fragrance. With her creation, Francesca Bianchi creates a contact that uses a mysterious language of its own. Mystical, indulgent and opulent, Encounters opens as a melange of cultures and reveals itself as an independent olfactory masterpiece whose essence goes far beyond geographical specificities or the mere juxtaposition of contrasts. Bianchi describes her enduring fascination with the reciprocal influences of different eras and cultures in an arrangement of select raw materials that plays engagingly elegant with contrasts and commonalities.

The fragrance:

As a union of two iconic fragrance ingredients, Encounters welcomes the senses with graceful sounds that tell of the fusion of cultures behind their aromas, both thematically and olfactorily. Encounters' fragrance pyramid unfolds as an artful arrangement woven around these sounds of iris and oud. Citrus notes refined with lavender and coriander form its opening. Their lively interplay leads to a rich heart of exquisite iris butter, whose sensual powdery fragrance unfolds spiced with a hint of cinnamon and surrounded by rose petals and angelica. Precious oud sounds alongside amber, castoreum and fine woods form the foundation of Encounters. Their accord completes the mysterious and fascinating character of this unique fragrance experience, which succeeds in overcoming boundaries and harmoniously uniting high temperaments.
