The story behind the bottle.
The Black Knight by Francesca Bianchi is a fragrance that embodies the essence of its namesake, blending rich leather and earthy tones with subtle sweetness from honey and iris. Launched in 2019, this unisex scent was crafted to evoke a sense of rugged sophistication and lasting elegance. The aromatic and powdery accords add depth, creating a harmonious balance between the natural and the synthetic elements.
Apply The Black Knight in moderation — two sprays are usually enough. The leather notes project well, while the powdery base develops gradually over time, making it perfect for an evening out or a long day at work.
