The story behind the bottle.
The Code of Emotion by Francesca Bianchi is a composition that weaves together the freshness of bergamot and pink pepper with the lushness of tropical fruits and lavender. This unisex fragrance was launched in 2025, showcasing Bianchi’s signature blend of natural and synthetic notes to create an emotive experience. The heart of geranium adds warmth without heaviness, while vetiver and oakmoss lend a mossy earthiness that grounds the composition. Cedarwood and sandalwood wrap it all up with a woody embrace.
Apply this fragrance to your pulse points for maximum impact. The tropical fruits and lavender notes are bright but short-lived, so reapply after an hour if you want to keep them front and center. For lasting warmth, focus on the woody base notes as they blend beautifully with your skin.
