Sex and the Sea, launched by Francesca Bianchi in 2016, captures the essence of an intimate encounter by the ocean. Created by the perfumer herself, this Oriental Floral fragrance blends rich ambers with powdery notes and a touch of animalic warmth. The composition opens with fruity and coconut accents, giving way to a heart of vanilla and sweet florals before settling into a warm spicy base. This is a scent that evokes both sensuality and the vastness of the sea, making it a distinctive olfactory experience.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to ensure the rich base notes have time to bloom. This fragrance leans close to skin rather than projecting widely, making it ideal for intimate settings or cooler evenings.
