ETRUSCAN WATER - FRANCESCA BIANCHI

Perfume extract

Agreements: Citrus fruit, spiced and powdered
How 's your mood ? Classical, attractive, exciting and refreshing

In the south of Tuscany, you approach an enchanting bay as you walk through the most beautiful and intoxicating Mediterranean vegetation, your skin warmed by the warmth of the southern sun, but you are invigorated by the salty and refreshing scent of the sea.

Notes: Bergamot, green tangerine, grapefruit, small grain, basil, carvi, immortelle, jasmine, iris root, musk, grey amber, labdanum, vetiver, moss from the oak tree. It's the first time I've ever seen it in my life.

It is an extract of perfume, to be used sparingly because the concentration is 25%.

The making of Etruscan water

The inspiration for Etruscan water comes from two different sources. The first is a personal memory: being born and raised in Tuscany, we could go to the beach in the south of the region, where our ancestors, the Etruscans, lived hundreds of years ago.

To reach the most amazing little bays, well hidden and with the clearest water, it took a 30-minute walk through the woods.

The scent of typical Mediterranean vegetation is delightful, and if you are lucky (or unlucky...), you may come across a wild boar - or even the remains of Etruscan civilization.

The salty, refreshing scent of the sea soothes you from the sun's scorching heat.

The second source of inspiration is my personal research into the masterpieces of perfumery, because I was recently intrigued by the classic citrus-based male cologne - not the lightest, but the one with a well-soaked character.

This is the first version of the FREEFALL line, which opens the way to new directions in my work.

Performed by Chester Gibs
<unk> The time bomb
Of your life has come
People can come, people can go.
As long as the water is slow
But be careful when you're
On the way to the waterfall
The dry land is only one love
A warm sun and a place to lie down
I see your future
The water above you is calm and clear
People can come, people can go.
As long as the water is slow
But be careful when you're
On the way to the waterfall <unk>

Etruscan Water by Francesca Bianchi reminds me of several of my first "men's" perfumes that I bought when I was a teenager. Ikebana by Silvia Barucci inspired by Etruscan Water by Francesca Bianchi.

And those scents were for me the beginning of a dive into new waters: adulthood, love, sex, romance, adventure.
I've always loved to disguise myself - and in this drawing that I made while wearing and sniffing Etruscan Water, I depicted the young me, undressing himself as he prepares to enter new and unknown waters.

This is a beautiful Ikebana that Silvia Barucci created to represent my Etruscan water.

I like the combination of the flowers, white and green, the transparent vase, the flower in the water, and the beautiful background of stones, reminiscent of the Etruscan tombs, and also, in a certain way, the salty part of the perfume.
