Francesca Bianchi - LOVE FOR SALE
Love for Sale is an exclusive limited edition one-time offer crafted as an expression of gratitude for the invaluable support from my friends and partners.
Accords: Tannery Leather and Candied Rose
Mood: Sophisticated, Extravagant
I delved into my obsession with leather as the main accord, aiming to maintain its fierce and unforgiving nature, while introducing an unexpected transparency.
It opens with a thrilling metallic note, sharp as a razor blade, then transitioning into a sweet, peachy rose, like sticky candies in the bottom of your leather bag.
How Love For Sale was born
Love For Sale has a very special genesis. Some time ago, I crafted a unique piece of fragrance for a dear friend and artist, Sands Murray-Wassink. He won a prestigious award (Jeanne Oosting Prijs) and I gave him this exceptional experiment on the day of the award ceremony.
I designed a special packaging for it, stealing my daughter’s glue and glitter to craft it. I know he likes kitsch – I do too. I called it I am not for sale, as a tribute to his artistic integrity.
For the fragrance, I used my The Lover’s Tale as base, infused with a rose accord. I was aware that my friend had a particular fondness for that perfume of mine, and I wanted to make him feel special.
