Encounters – Francesca Bianchi – A niche perfume with iris and oud | FABULOUS

Top notes: Bergamot, orange, black currant, lavender, coriander
Heart note: Iris (orris butter), rose, angelica, cinnamon
Base notes: Ambergris, castoreum, oud, sandalwood, cedarwood, benzoin, balsam of Peru

Encounters is iris with a clear oud facet: powdery elegant with a darker, spicy base. The opening is fresh, with citrus and blackcurrant that provide elasticity. Iris quickly takes place and feels expensive and smooth, while rose and angelica provide a classic, almost austere floral facet. In the base are oud and balsam that make the scent warm, hedonistic and long-lasting, with fine ambergris that provides a discreet saltiness and depth.
Wear it when you want to feel well-dressed – a perfect choice for a cocktail party or a night at the theatre. It also works great on a quiet Sunday when you want to wear something pretty just for yourself.

Fragrance family: Oriental woody (iris/oud)

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