The woman behind the brand: Francesca Bianchi
Francesca Bianchi , born and raised in Florence, Italy, is the creative mind and nose behind her eponymous brand. Her path into the world of perfumery was not straightforward, but rather driven by a deep passion for art and creativity . She originally studied art history at the University of Florence and subsequently worked in art book publishing, which gave her a deep understanding of aesthetics and the power of narrative.
Her fascination with perfumes grew out of a personal curiosity. She began to teach herself perfumery , immersing herself in books on natural perfumery and experimenting with essential oils . What began as a hobby quickly grew into a deep vocation. Francesca Bianchi is known for overseeing the entire perfumemaking process—from the initial idea to formula development, blending, filtering, filling, and packaging—in her Amsterdam laboratory . This artisanal approach and her tireless pursuit of high-quality raw materials are central pillars of her philosophy.
She often draws inspiration from personal experiences , states of mind, and intuitions that have profound sensory, emotional, or spiritual significance . She understands perfumery as a form of alchemy, in which raw materials, ideas, and personal interpretations merge into a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts. For her, perfumery is a "symbolic language of emotions" deeply rooted in human memory .
The history of the Francesca Bianchi Perfumes brand
The Francesca Bianchi Perfumes brand was founded in 2016 after Francesca turned her passion for perfumery into a professional career. Although she previously worked in jewelry design (Francesca Bianchi Design, founded in 2013), 2016 marked the official launch of her perfume brand .
Her first creations, including some of her now iconic fragrances , quickly gained recognition in the niche perfumery scene . Her Extrait de Parfums , known for their high concentration and distinctive signature , were celebrated worldwide as authentic works of perfume art . The brand is based in Amsterdam , where Francesca Bianchi has her studio and carries out most of her work herself.
Francesca Bianchi's approach is to create fragrances that not only smell pleasant, but also tell a story , evoke an emotion , and establish a deep connection with the wearer. Her perfumes are often bold, sensual, and provocative , claiming their space as authentic expressions of intimate and deeply human experiences.
