THE MARINER'S RHYME - FRANCESCA BIANCHI

Perfume extract

Agreements: Cypriot Navy
How 's your mood ? Mysterious, dramatic and contemplative

This fragrance captures the essence of a sailor sailing on a raging sea. It has a metal edge reminiscent of a razor blade, an ozone quality evoking the cold winds of a storm, and a dark and mysterious depth similar to the abyss of the ocean. Although fresher and more transparent than the other fragrances in the collection, my unique DNA of dramatic character and animal iris strongly influence and shape this unique creation.

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

How Mariner's Rhyme was born
For the lovers of my signature, the animal-powdered theme that is dear to me returns, but more subtly. The animal note of this composition is the amber gray. The fragrance also has a transparency and a luminosity that distinguish it from my first creations.

My relationship with the sea is reflected in a few references that are dear to me: the sacred meaning of drama in S.T. Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the epic and theatrical adaptation of 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, transparent unisex fragrance on one side and dense and structured on the other. The hesperid and ozonic departure has a lively, modern character, enhanced by the vivid ridge of aldehydes. We're at sea, but there's a hint of orange blossom in the background coming from the mainland.
The salty-gray amber and metal aldehyde combined with oak moss evoke the taste of oyster shells and the dark depths of the sea.
The transparency of the ozone chord is transformed into a more opaque and thick chord, thanks to the iris, which adds an almost sacred and mystical character, evoked by the elemental and the incense.

The pyramid:
Bergamot, grapefruit, ozonated notes, lavender, and the like
The orange blossom, the iris
Amber grey, oak moss, musk, patchouli and incense
*No ingredients of animal origin have been used.
