Under My Skin by Francesca Bianchi is a unisex fragrance from the oriental woody family, launched in 2017 and created by the perfumer herself. An intense, deeply intimate, and animalistic composition, it explores the closeness of skin, restrained desire, and raw sensuality.
The opening is spicy and vibrant, with a contrast between black pepper, aromatic lavender, and the bitter citrus touch of grapefruit, creating an elegant and provocative tension. At its heart, iris lends a powdery and sophisticated character that blends with carnation and Bulgarian rose, generating a balance between floral, dry, and sensual. The base is dark, warm, and enveloping: leather and castoreum define a deep, animalic profile, softened by balsamic resins, vanilla, sandalwood, and musk, with oakmoss and tonka bean providing a persistent, intense, and highly distinctive trail.
