THE MARINER'S RHYME - FRANCESCA BIANCHI

THE MARINER'S RHYME - FRANCESCA BIANCHI

Perfume extract

Accords : Marine Chypre
Humeur : Mysterious, dramatic, and contemplative

This perfume captures the essence of a sailor navigating a raging sea. It carries a metallic edge reminiscent of a razor blade, an ozonic quality evoking the cold winds of the storm, and a dark and mysterious depth akin to the abyss of the ocean. Although fresher and more transparent than the other perfumes in the collection, the unique DNA of my dramatic character and the animalistic iris strongly influence and shape this unique creation.

The fragrance has a contemplative aspect, it is fresh but complex and dramatic.

How Mariner's Rhyme was born
For lovers of my signature, the powdery animal theme that is dear to me returns, but more subtly. The animal note of this composition is ambergris. The fragrance also has a transparency and brightness that set it apart from my earlier creations.

My relationship with the sea is reflected in a few references that are dear to me: the sacred sense of drama in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by S.T. Coleridge, the epic and theatrical adaptation by Iron Maiden, but above all the mysterious, evocative, contemplative, experimental, and immersive instrumental song "Sailor's Tale" from King Crimson's album "Islands."

It's a fresh and transparent unisex fragrance on one side and dense and structured on the other. The citrusy and ozonic opening has a lively and modern character, enhanced by the sharp edge of aldehydes. We are at sea, but there is a hint of orange blossom in the background that comes from the mainland.
The salty ambergris and the metallic aldehyde associated with oak moss evoke the taste of oyster shells, as well as the dark depths of the sea.
The transparency of the ozone agreement transforms into a more opaque and thick agreement, thanks to the iris, which adds an almost sacred and mystical character, evoked by elemi and incense.
