The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Francesca Bianchi, Under My Skin is an Oriental Woody fragrance that seamlessly blends natural and synthetic notes to create a lasting impression. The composition opens with spicy elements like black pepper and grapefruit, leading into the heart of orris root, carnation, and Bulgarian rose. A warm base of leather, castoreum, ambergris, and musk anchors the scent with an animalic depth that lingers on the skin.
This fragrance is best applied in small amounts — one or two sprays are enough to let the base notes develop fully. It pairs well with cooler weather but can also be enjoyed year-round for its depth and warmth.
