This one was a little out of my comfort zone. Iâm really not one for powdery scents, theyâre just not my style. I tend to find it hard to separate them from smelling like a grandma, not that thatâs a bad thing necessarily but itâs not what Iâm attracted to or what I want to smell like. That said, I think this is REALLY beautiful. From the accord breakdown I expected this to be a powder bomb, but after an initial burst of musk it softens quickly and leaves behind a cloud of soft delicate iris laid over clean skin. Very feminine and sophisticated but not old lady at all, it reads fresh and youthful to me. Once again I find myself impressed with Bianchiâs naming conventions, if I was limited to one single word for this opening it would be âangelicâ. Thereâs a soft amber glow beneath the cloud giving it body and depth. Creamy iris, typically a background note/finisher for her fragrances, takes center stage here in the opening. This is an absolute love letter to what is obviously one of her teacherâs pet ingredients, and itâs maybe made me believer.
As it dries down the soggy rose and pepper become more prominent, the cloud dissipates and it smells much more human with tangible skin and sweat and desire, that signature Bianchi sexuality. Itâs not overly literal or obscene, but there is an undercurrent of a âsexy skinâ scent here for sure. The transition between sections is really smooth, I find this exceptionally well blended. Itâs not a complex profile, but it is alluring and very pretty. Like the girl working behind the counter at the flower shop, you almost didnât notice at first but the more you look at her the more you think sheâs quietly one of the prettiest girls youâve ever seen. I could be convinced this is what she smells like before and after her shift. I wouldnât buy this for myself, but I canât help but find it completely compelling. 8/10
