Encounters by Francesca Bianchi — Notes, Reviews & Ratings (2023)
Encounters embodies the idea of contamination between two cultures; East meets West in the form of orris and oud combined. It’s a unique scent with a lot of contrasting elements, yet remains incredibly balanced and smooth throughout. Orris dominates the scent with its thick powdery elements, as is so characteristic of Francesca Bianchi. The oud however is very subtle, not particularly stinky or animalic, but instead dry and dusty. This is balanced beautifully by subtle aromatics of lavender and cassis, as well as a gentle citric kick, before developing a slightly salty ambergris heart. It’s lovely, it feels like there’s a lot going on and yet somehow seems to smell rather flat. I don’t feel I am searching for a bottomless end like I do with a lot of Francesca’s other creations. Overall it does smell great, but it doesn’t excite me as much as I would hope.
