Luxe Calme Volupté – Francesca Bianchi – A niche perfume with iris and sandalwood

Top note: Bitter orange, green mandarin, galbanum
Heart note: Hyacinth, tropical fruits, ylang-ylang, iris
Base note: Benzoin, sandalwood, vetiver, opoponax

Luxe Calme Volupté is luxury in the sense of rich, not heavy. Bitter orange and green mandarin provide a fresh, slightly bitter start, and galbanum keeps it green and crisp. Then the scent becomes softer and rounder with ylang-ylang, iris and a fruity heart that feels sun-warmed rather than sweet. The base of benzoin, sandalwood, vetiver and opoponax gives warmth and a calm longevity that stays close to the skin.
A perfect perfume for art exhibition openings, hotel breakfasts and days when you want to smell like you're wearing the best in your wardrobe without feeling overdressed. And for travels when you want a scent that works from daylight to dinner without changing character.

Scent family: Oriental/amber with a floral-fruity tone

This perfume is available in 30 ml Extrait de Parfum, but also as a 10 ml travel atomizer and 2 ml sample if you want to try it before choosing a larger bottle.
