The constant search for qualitative raw materials is crucial for the achievement of a great result. The same formula performed with materials coming from different suppliers will sort out a different olfactory profile.
My perfumes are conceived in my laboratory in Amsterdam. When the formula is ready, I can finally order the raw materials in order to mix them.
The resulting concentrate is then sent out to an artisanal atelier in Italy which put it in alcohol, let it age, and then take care of packing it.
The creation of a perfume is a very long and complex process, and it takes me a hermit life to devise a formula which I then blend, holding my breath at every drop I add as in a sacred ritual.
At those ecstatic and silent moments, I feel like an alchemist which – through a transformation – gives birth to something new, which is not the simple addition of different materials.
After I graduated in History of Art in Florence, my passion for perfume making started, by a book on natural perfumery and a handful of essential oils. Since then, I’ve been studying and experimenting on my own. I have resided in many cities – Florence, Berlin, Luxembourg, Amsterdam – while working in art book publishing.
Once in Amsterdam – where I currently live – I decided to quit my previous job and launch my own line of perfumes.

Olfactory Notes
Ingredients
IMAGINE A VELVET CURTAIN DRAWING BACK, REVEALING A DUSTY ATTIC FILLED WITH FORGOTTEN TREASURES. ONCE UPON A TIME BY FRANCESCA BIANCHI ISN'T JUST A FRAGRANCE; IT'S A JOURNEY. THE INITIAL SPRAY IS A RUSH OF POWDERY IRIS AND HONEYED TOBACCO, A WARM, SLIGHTLY ANIMALIC EMBRACE THAT FEELS BOTH FAMILIAR AND MYSTERIOUS. IT'S THE SCENT OF ANTIQUE WOOD AND AGED LEATHER, A WHISPER OF SECRETS HELD WITHIN.
THE HEART OF THE PERFUME UNFOLDS LIKE A FORGOTTEN LOVE LETTER. THE RICHNESS OF MYRRH AND SANDALWOOD EMERGES, CREATING A CREAMY, ALMOST LACTONIC TEXTURE ON THE SKIN. IT'S A SENSUAL DANCE BETWEEN SWEETNESS AND EARTHINESS, A COMFORTING AND INTOXICATING AROMA THAT LINGERS LIKE A CHERISHED MEMORY.
THE DRYDOWN IS A SOFT, RESINOUS HUG.
PICTURE YOURSELF WRAPPED IN A CASHMERE SHAWL, SIPPING A GLASS OF AGED BRANDY BY A CRACKLING FIREPLACE. THIS IS THE MOMENT FOR ONCE UPON A TIME. IT'S A FRAGRANCE FOR INTROSPECTION, FOR LOST ROMANCE, AND FOR EMBRACING THE BEAUTY OF IMPERFECTION. IT'S A SCENT THAT INVITES YOU TO CREATE YOUR OWN FAIRY TALE.
THIS EXTRAIT DE PARFUM IS MORE THAN JUST A SCENT; IT'S AN EXPERIENCE. IT’S A TICKET TO A BYGONE ERA, A REMINDER OF THE POWER OF STORYTELLING, AND A CELEBRATION OF INDIVIDUALITY. WEAR IT WHEN YOU WANT TO FEEL POWERFUL, MYSTERIOUS, AND UTTERLY UNFORGETTABLE. IT IS A SENTIENT REMINDER THAT EVERY LIFE IS A STORY WORTH TELLING.

Top Note: The initial spray of Francesca Bianchi Once Upon A Time delivers a captivating blend of powdery iris and honeyed tobacco. This opening is warm and slightly animalic, offering a familiar yet mysterious embrace. Hints of antique wood and aged leather create an intriguing first impression, evoking a sense of forgotten treasures and whispered secrets.
Heart Note: As the top notes subside, the heart of the perfume reveals a rich and creamy character. The prominence of myrrh and sandalwood creates a lactonic texture on the skin. This stage is a sensual dance between sweetness and earthiness, offering a comforting and intoxicating aroma that lingers like a cherished memory. A hint of floral notes adds complexity.
Base Note: The drydown is a soft, resinous hug, providing a long-lasting and comforting experience. The scent settles into a warm and enveloping blend of resins, leaving a lasting impression of sophistication and introspection. The base notes create a sense of depth and longevity, making it a truly unforgettable fragrance. The overall impression is reminiscent of a cashmere shawl and aged brandy by a crackling fireplace.
