About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Encounters (2023) is a woody spicy unisex composition from Francesca Bianchi. The opening is a bright, tangy blend of orange, bergamot, coriander, cassis, and lavender, giving a fresh yet aromatic lift. As it settles, the heart reveals a rich, powdery iris butter, rose, angelica, and cinnamon, adding depth and a subtle warmth. The base is a complex, long-lasting foundation of agarwood (oud), benzoin, Peru balsam, castoreum, ambergris, sandalwood, and cedarwood, creating a resinous, animalic, and woody drydown. With main accords of amber (100%), woody (83%), citrus (69%), balsamic (66%), aromatic (61%), and oud (58%), this fragrance is a bold, multifaceted scent. It suits collectors who appreciate vintage-style, animalic, and resinous compositions with a modern twist. Ideal for evening wear or cool weather, it demands confidence and rewards patience as it evolves on skin.
