The Lover's Tale by Francesca Bianchi was launched in 2018 as an ode to the complex and enduring nature of love. The composition opens with honey, mimosa, and aldehydes before diving into a heart of orris, peach, heliotrope, Egyptian jasmine, and Bulgarian rose. These florals are then grounded by a base of leather, castoreum, musk, labdanum, oakmoss, sandalwood, and vetiver, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both intimate and lasting. Francesca Bianchi's expertise in blending natural and synthetic notes is evident here, resulting in a scent that speaks to the heart as much as it does to the nose.
