Francesca Bianchi - Neroli Libertine
“This perfume represents my idea of luxury: pursuing the maximum of comfort with sophistication, enjoying the pleasures of life in privacy, freedom, and carefreeness.
Libertine Neroli inaugurates a line of perfumes dedicated to specific raw materials: not simple fragrances, but complex architectures that revolve around a main ingredient.
Pleasure, Seduction, Freedom
Neroli is the scent of abundance, of abandonment to pleasures, and its fresh and joyful appearance makes you think of the mythical places of Italian summer worldliness, immortalized by films such as Dolce Vita by F. Fellini, Roman Holiday by W. Wyler, The Talented Mr. Ripley by A. Minghella.
Neroli, as any white flower, is tenacious, strong, and seductive, and this character is accentuated by some animalic notes to create an accord that is not second to anything and stands out wherever you put it. Neroli is the essential oil obtained from the orange blossom. The flower is characteristic of the Mediterranean area, and the one used in this perfume is specifically of Tunisian origin, transformed in Italy. Neroli recalls the scent of the alleys of ancient Moroccan cities in the hottest hours, when the streets are empty and in solitude you can smell the petals of orange flowers.
Animalic Chypré
This Neroli accord is nestled in a Chypré structure, with oak moss — green, woody, moist and earthy — and the sweet and mellow labdanum. This is counterbalanced by another favourite note of mine, Leather, adding an animalic twist thus creating a refined and elegant contrast with a great character.” — Francesca Bianchi
