Under My Skin by Francesca Bianchi Reviews & Perfume Facts

Under My Skin offers a unique blend characterized by its leathery and slightly animalic essence. The fragrance opens with top notes of grapefruit and lavender, followed by a heart of carnation, orris, and rose. The base is rich and complex, featuring floral notes alongside leather, musk, and a combination of earthy elements like oakmoss and sandalwood, rounded out with sweet accents of tonka bean, vanilla, and ambergris. This creates a velvety and elegant scent that's both powerful and refined.

Under My Skin is an Eau de Parfum (EDP), which generally offers a good longevity. Most users report that the fragrance lasts between 6 to 8 hours on the skin, depending on individual skin chemistry. As for sillage, the fragrance is known to have a moderate projection, making it noticeable but not overwhelming, perfect for both intimate settings and social gatherings.

Under My Skin is versatile enough to be worn on various occasions. Its elegant and complex scent makes it suitable for special events, night outs, or romantic evenings. However, its distinctive yet smooth profile also allows it to be worn for everyday use, especially in more sophisticated settings. It's a fragrance that can adapt to both casual and formal environments.

If you enjoy Under My Skin, you may also like fragrances with a similar profile. Consider trying 'Memo Paris Irish Leather' for its leather notes combined with a touch of freshness, or 'Amouage Interlude' for its rich, complex layering of spices and leather. For a more floral take, 'Malle Portrait of a Lady' provides a luxurious experience with rose and animalic undertones that resonate well with the essence of Under My Skin.

Under My Skin represents the personal journey of its creator, who spent two years refining the balance of animalic scents to align with their own aesthetic. Initially attracted to strong animalic fragrances, the creator discovered their preference for a more refined blend, leading to this sophisticated formulation that weaves together luscious leather and subtle animalic elements. This process of exploration and self-discovery ultimately aims to embody the personality and style of the perfumer.
