Francesca Bianchi - Voluptuous Oud
The Kingdom of Abundance
A rich, seductive, and absolutely lustful interpretation of oud: my intention is to offer a warm and comforting experience, but with the bold, raw, and animalistic intensity of oud.
It is an opulent and voluptuous interpretation of oud, from the raw materials line (Essentials); an interpretation of oud that is sweet and caramelized, slightly fruity (plum), with leathery and delicately smoky aspects.
It is a fragrance that once again expresses my obsession with human intimacy and the experience of it: the infinite sweetness of bodily closeness, the search for the animalistic aspect within humans. A quest for the quintessence of humanity, which began with “Sex and the Sea” and “Under My Skin”, continued through “The Lover’s Tale” and “Unspoken Musk”.
It is the wonderful sensation of opulence and fullness of a rounded oud, which combines its woody character with animalic and leathery aspects, whose sometimes very pungent character is softened by the sweetness of caramel. It is a fragrance that, particularly in its extrait formulation, reveals all its complexity and sweetness, sensuality, and lust, like a mythical realm of abundance.
The other typical aspect of this beautiful material, the one reminiscent of cheese, is amplified but in a gourmand direction, accentuated by creamy, buttery, and fruity notes (plum). It evokes the same sensation of richness, abundance, and extreme sweetness found in Middle Eastern pastries, incredibly sweet and exuberant.
