Francesca Bianchi Libertine Neroli Extrait de Parfum 30 ml is a unisex citrus perfume. This fragrance represents Francesca's idea of luxury: pursuing maximum comfort with refinement, enjoying pleasures in privacy, freedom and lightheartedness. Libertine Neroli Fragrance Extract inaugurates a line of fragrances dedicated to specific raw materials: not simple fragrances, but complex architectures revolving around a main ingredient. Mood: Elegant, fresh, vintage, bewitching, sophisticated. For me, Neroli is the scent of abundance, of abandonment to pleasures, and its fresh and joyful aspect makes me think of the mythical places of Italian summer social life, immortalised by films such as Fellini's La Dolce Vita, Wyler's Roman Holiday, Minghella's Mr. Ripley's Talent. Neroli, being a white flower, is tenacious, strong and seductive, and this character is accentuated by some animal notes to create an accord that doesn't accept to be dominated and excels wherever you put it. The Neroli accord is set in a Chypre structure, with oakmoss, green, woody, damp and subterranean, and sweet, persuasive labdanum, counterbalanced by another note dear to me, leather, which adds an animal touch and thus creates a refined opposition with great character.
