About This Perfume
Think powdery rose-berry dust over warm cedar smoke: that is Francesca Bianchi Encounters. It opens with blackcurrant, coriander and lavender, moves into orris butter, rose and angelica and settles on cedarwood, Oud and castoreum. It reads unisex.
This extrait de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2023.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
