Francesca Bianchi is an Italian-born perfumer who studied History of Art, specializing in the twentieth century, before working in art book publishing across Florence, Berlin, Luxembourg, and Amsterdam.
In Amsterdam, inspired by a book on natural perfumery, she began studying and experimenting with fragrance and eventually launched her own line, which she composes herself in her laboratory over a process that can take between six months and several years. She sources raw materials from a family-run company in Grasse and has built a cult following with fragrances including The Black Knight, Angel's Dust, and Under My Skin.
