  I have a classic sample, comfortable, cozy, 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. Excellent quality. It soon loses intensity, softening and blending with the personal scent, which after a moment transforms into a soft, sweet leather thanks to the support of white floral notes I can’t quite decipher. Maybe jasmine? It retains Francesca’s essence with its inclination towards animal scents but much more minimalist, or on my skin it’s barely noticeable. The absolute protagonist is undoubtedly the neroli, noticeable for hours and hours. A perfect balance of notes that you feel throughout the day… suddenly the super soft leather, the neroli, white flowers… Spectacular and seductive. I’d say more inclined towards the feminine side but incredible on a man’s skin. Just a word, I’ve tested it. Finally, after about 6 hours, the perfume becomes fresher. Now that I’m pregnant, it’s difficult for me to tolerate certain aromas, and I can wear this very well. For me, it’s the most wearable fragrance. I loved it and it perfectly matches the 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 has 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 or overly animalic leather; it’s there but not overwhelming. I could say that a sweet ylang-ylang aroma is wrapped in the neroli. I shouldn’t forget to tell you that this fragrance has Francesca’s own seal: you smell it and know her magic is behind it. That perfectly crafted 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 longevity is magnificent. It’s one of those perfumes you wear and appreciate yourself, as is my case. It’s sophisticated yet bold. It makes you feel free, within an atmosphere of luxury and abundance, but with the right to do what you prefer, that ‘libertinage’ of enjoying and feeling that excessive pleasure declared in the title. It immediately joins my top 3 from the house, alongside Angel’s Dust and Luxe Calme Volupté, also great favorites.

  Opulent vintage. On my skin, the moss, neroli, and a creamy leather facet stand out; the other notes make a full-bodied, well-rounded perfume where all listed notes can be distinguished. It’s not at all sharp and has a tendency towards muskiness. It’s an excellent perfume if you like vintage. I keep testing it since 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, since 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, green, and I perceive it as quite animalic, too sexy, with immense projection and longevity.

  I tested 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 heart features iris, almost like lipstick, giving it a sexy vibe—maybe a bit ‘dirty,’ but in a good way. What disappoints me is the longevity: as an Extrait, it barely lasts 6 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 what true Neroli smells like, since 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 well. Libertine Neroli, on the other hand, is powerful, citrusy, green, and I perceive it as quite animal, too sexy, with immense projection and longevity.

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

  After buying it and wearing it for 3 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 opening that’s a bit animal and can be confusing. It also has a heart where the iris shines perfectly with a lipstick-like aroma. Overall, in my opinion, it has a very sexy touch… even a bit ‘dirty’, but in a good way. What disappointed me the most, at least for me, is the longevity. For an Extrait de Parfum, I notice it has fairly standard longevity on skin, just about 6 hours. Beau de Jour or even Eau des Sens last longer on me. 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 talc-like iris isn’t dry, and the moss isn’t dry either; everything is dark and deep, with many nuances. I love it. I wouldn’t wear it on hot days because it might overwhelm me. Be careful with the sprays, as you’d expect, this projects and lasts beyond written limits. 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 after 4 hours. This bottle could definitely be a keeper someday.

  Totally agree with that definition of opulent vintage. I got a tiny decant and used it down to the last drop. Like Francesca, it needs time to open up, but it’s one of her friendliest and most versatile fragrances. The bergamot opening takes a moment, then comes the neroli, one of my favorite notes, and the oakmoss; those three take the applause. It has become one of my favorites of hers, without taking The Lover’s Tale off the throne, but I’m starting to look at it in the eye. Another masterpiece from this unparalleled genius.

  Totally 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 bit to distinguish itself, then comes the neroli, which, given what little I know, is one of my favorite notes, along with oakmoss, which takes all the applause. It’s become one of my favorites of hers, without dethroning The Lover’s Tale, but I now look at it straight in the eye. Another masterpiece from this unparalleled genius.
