The Black Knight Francesca Bianchi

The Black Knight perfume from Francesca Bianchi is a perfume masterpiece released in 2019. It is a unisex perfume with "Extrait de Parfum" concentration. The designer was inspired by the historical figure "Giovanni dal Bandi Neri," one of the mercenary leaders during the Italian Renaissance, to reflect the atmosphere of military camps and chivalry with a mysterious and sensual blend. The fragrance description and overall feeling describe the perfume as an intense leather, woody, earthy blend, dominated by a Gothic and dramatic character. The scent begins with a strong touch of honey and beeswax, giving a warm and sticky impression, then develops to reveal a smoky heart evoking campfire smoke and raw leather (like horse saddles). Vetiver plays a main role in this perfume, with a delicate powdery touch of rose and lily of the valley representing the "secret lover" of the historical leader, balancing the strength with the roughness of leathers. The olfactory pyramid features a rich and complex composition including the following components: Top and middle notes: honey, beeswax, caraway, Artemisia, and Bulgarian rose. Heart: iris butter, narcissus. Base: leathers, vetiver, oakmoss, patchouli, and cedarwood. Usage properties: Performance: it has a strong projection and very high longevity due to its high concentration. Suitable for: it is preferred to wear in cold weather or during formal evening occasions, and it is aimed at lovers of artistic and unconventional (Niche) perfumes. Impression: it gives a feeling of luxury, confidence, and mystery, and some may see it as a "mature" scent with a clear masculine animal touch.
