  I have a Classic sample. Comfortable, comfortable, very wearable despite having a vintage touch, like the best chypres of the 90s. If we removed the leather, it could be a perfect Chanel but without aldehydes. The neroli note is intense from the start, dense and creamy. Of excellent quality. It soon drops in intensity, softening and mixing with the personal scent which after a few moments transforms into a soft and sweet leather thanks to the accompaniment of white floral notes that I can’t decipher. Perhaps jasmine? It retains Francesca’s essence with her inclination towards animal scents but much more minimalist, or on my skin it’s barely noticeable. Certainly the absolute protagonist is the neroli which is appreciated for hours and hours. A perfect balance of notes that you feel throughout the day… suddenly the very soft leather, the neroli, white flowers… Spectacular and seductive. I would say more inclined to the feminine but incredible on a man’s skin. Word of honour, I have tried it. Finally after about 6 hours the perfume becomes fresher. Now that I am pregnant, it is difficult for me to tolerate certain scents, and I can wear this very well. For me, it is the most wearable fragrance. I loved it and it coincides perfectly with chypre-style perfumes I could use daily.

  One of the most ‘user-friendly’ or friendly fragrances from the well-known Italian perfumer F.B. Undoubtedly, it possesses several nuances: citrus, fresh, green, mossy, but also sweet, creamy floral, and sensual with a clean leather note in the base. It’s not a powerful leather nor excessively animal; it’s there but not overwhelming. I could assure you that a sweet ylang-ylang scent is appreciated wrapped in the neroli. I must not forget to tell you that this fragrance has Francesca’s own seal: you smell it and know her magic is behind it. That perfectly worked leather with the creaminess of flowers, amber, and its derivatives, which she handles so majestously. It’s for any season or occasion. It has a wide trail and, being an extract, behaves as such. Its fixation is magnificent. It’s one of those perfumes you wear and you appreciate yourself, as is my case. It’s sophisticated but at the same time bold. It makes you feel free, within an atmosphere of luxury and plenty, but with the right to do what you prefer, that ‘libertinage’ of enjoying and feeling that excessive pleasure declared in the title. It immediately places itself in my top 3 of the house, alongside Angel’s Dust and Luxe Calme Volupté, also great favourites.

  Opulent vintage. On my skin, the moss, neroli, and a facet of creamy leather stand out; the other notes make a rounded perfume with body, making it possible to distinguish all the listed ones. It’s nothing stinging and has a tendency towards muskiness. It’s an excellent perfume if you like vintage. I keep testing it as it’s not quite my style.

  I agree with several reviews describing it as opulent vintage. I want to believe this is how true neroli smells, as my only experience with this note has been with Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino, which is too light, and Neroli’s Sex and the Sea, where it blends with coconut and pineapple without being very noticeable. Libertine Neroli, on the other hand, is powerful, citrusy, greeny, and I perceive it as quite animalic, too sexy, with immense projection and longevity.

  The blend of moss, amber, and citrus is what I like the most!

  I tried it for three days and still can’t quite define it: it’s not a typical neroli, but rather amber and moss with citrus undertones following an animalic opening that can be confusing. The iris in the heart stands out, almost like lipstick, giving it a sexy, even slightly ‘dirty’ but well-executed vibe. What disappoints me is the longevity: as an Extrait, it barely lasts six hours on skin, lasting less than Beau de Jour or Eau des Sens. Would I buy it again? Probably not.

  I agree with several reviews describing it as opulent vintage. I want to believe this is how true Neroli smells, as my only experience with this note has been with Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino, which is too light, and Diptyque’s Sex and the Sea where it mixes with coconut and pineapple without me being able to identify it very well. Libertine Neroli, on the contrary, is potent, citrusy, green, and I perceive it as quite animal, too sexy, with immense projection and longevity.

  After buying it and wearing it for three days, I still struggle to define it. If you’re looking for a typical neroli fragrance, you won’t find it here; instead, you’ll find amber and moss with some citrus sparkles, and that after an animal opening that can be confusing. It also has a heart where the iris stands out perfectly with the scent of lipstick. Overall, in my opinion, it has a very sexy touch… even a bit ‘dirty’, but in a good way. What has disappointed me the most is the longevity. For an Extrait de Parfum, I note that on skin it has a fairly standard duration that justifies the six hours. It lasts less than Beau de Jour or even Eau des Sens. Would I buy it again? Probably not.

  It couldn’t be any other way; it’s a bomb from F. Bianchi. None of her scents are easy to digest, and while I like them all more or less, none of them turn me off. Here I don’t find that declared citrus part; I see a creation full of neroli, iris, moss, and that animal touch with leather. But the neroli isn’t fresh, the powdery iris isn’t dry, nor is the moss; everything is dark and deep, with many nuances. I love it. I wouldn’t wear it on hot days as it might overwhelm me. Be careful with the sprays, as it shouldn’t be surprising, this projects and lasts what is not written. It has that sexy dirtiness so typical of Bianchi. I see it as quite versatile, but considering the usage and openings, everything works. In the dry down, what remains is a much kinder scent from the four-hour mark. This bottle could indeed fall one day.

  Completely agree with that definition of opulent vintage. I kept a tiny decant and used it down to the last drop. In Francesca’s style, it needs time to open up, but it’s one of her friendliest and most versatile fragrances. The bergamot opening takes a moment to emerge, then comes the neroli, which is one of my favourite notes, followed by oakmoss; those three take the applause. It has become one of my favourites of hers, without taking the throne from The Lover’s Tale, but I now look at it in the eye. Another masterpiece from this unparalleled genius.

  I completely agree with that opulent vintage profile. I got a tiny decant and finished it in one go. Like everything from Francesca, it needs time to settle, but it’s one of her friendliest and most versatile fragrances. The bergamot opening took a while to distinguish itself, then came the neroli, which, given what little I know, is one of my favourite notes, along with the oakmoss, which deserves all the applause. It has become one of my favourites of hers, without dethroning The Lover’s Tale, but I now look at it in the eye. Another masterpiece from this unparalleled genius.
