Hedonik by Francesca Bianchi - Exquisite Affair
Sweet and sexy, the liaison between Peach and Leather is unexpected, therefore surprising. A secret relationship between two contrasting yet complementary characters: innocence and seduction. This liaison is symbolically portrayed through the harmony of Peach and Leather. The "exquisite" juxtaposition creates a non-trivial, playful, and unconventional fragrance.
The Innocence I worked on a sweet-fruity vertical accord centered around peach and the values associated with it: youth, carefreeness, the age of innocence. It opens with the freshness of bergamot and green mandarin, reminiscent of freshly picked fruit; the peach is then enriched by osmanthus and blackcurrant, and amplified by a note of caramel – cotton candy in the base.
The Seduction Leather, in its myriad variations, is one of my favorite accords for its deep and intense character that resonates with carnality and sensuality. In this composition, I worked on a whispered yet well-defined leather, animalic and dirty, which irresistibly blends with the sweetness of caramel. It is the intense and sweet scent of a horse saddle. Sandalwood is added to amplify the creaminess of the lactonic heart notes, and the seduction of fractionated, velvety, and intense Patchouli.
