Watching this review filled me with joy and enthusiasm! You guys are absolutely the best, and you are able to transmit your energy and knowledge - Had to take some notes from this review!!! thanks guys!!
You fellas are the absolute best at reviewing. I agree with everything you say, the value in FBs perfumes is amazing. Cannot wait to drench myself from my full bottle. The leather one is Cuir Soyeux it was a limited release in collaboration with The Perfume Lounge
Thanks Claire! Ah, and thanks for confirming about the Cuir! A shame to have missed out there. Leathery undertones in almost everything she does, so would have been great to smell a leather centric one. FB is a house that I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending. Everything you want from a perfume brand
I gotta smell this. That Blake poem, really all of his naturalistic work, is so evocative of the Tiger in the woods and how fearsome it is (and why it would be created in the first place)
Ordered! Was able to justify it to myself by the EU thing! Love all Francesca's perfumes, can't wait to smell this. Thanks guys (and Happy Christmas!).
I came to the comments to say this lol, I just ordered 900$ worth of aromachemicals from perfumers apprentice lol, too much wine.. Probably half of my fragrance collection (100+ bottles) were drunk ordered lol... Maybe I should take a break lol, you wake up in the morning and see the emails (Order #64940482 is being processed), and your heart sinks lol
Good review. I also get 'Lost in Heaven' (opening) and little bit 'The Lover's Tale' (drydown).Extraits should imo be tested on skin only. I give all FB perfumes 3 sprays (except 'The Lover's Tale' 2 sprays). 'Tyger Tyger' deserves 4 sprays. BTW I own all 12 FB perfumes - 'Cuir Soyeux' least worn because limited edition (should've bought 2 bottles but miss Bianchi told me she probably might sell it on her website too 🙁). Ps Are you familiar with 'Baraonda'? I am looking for a whisky that smells like it. Since you like to order drunk you are the man who has to kmow that.
I sat down, with a powerful cup of coffee, and sat and watched you guys, just like I watch the Paul Van Dyk Sunday Session Livestreams, or the JES trance live dj'ing from NYC, or the Nora En Pure trance music shows -, where I just 'trance out' and watch the typed talk on the side-screens... ...and slurp the coffee. You people are music.
the things that you guys pointed out at 11.18, that's a perfect example of consumerism, the luxury wasn't so expensive back then till overprofitization took over.
I love Francesca’s packaging label and bottle simple yet striking! And the prices are so very reasonable for such great quality and well performing scents! I’m ordering tyger tyger, dark knight and lost in heaven. Lovers tale is my favorite! Thank you for making such honest lovely videos keep it up gentlemen!
You’ve got me dying to try this. Luckyscent was meant to put in a sample with some holiday orders but left it out. :( big fan of FB. Own The Lover’s Tale, Etruscan Water, The Black Knight and Stick Fingers(thanks to your review) but this sounds unmissable.
I’ve never heard of Bianchi because of you two I’m enthused. I’m definitely going to take a few smells. Keep up these great in-depth energetic reviews.
I love your videos so much, you are my favourite reviewers by large! And the wishlist is getting longer and longer.... Just recently fell in love with Etruscan Water, my gosh, what an excellent fragrance. Will have to try this as well.
I adore Francesca Bianchi’s extraits. Her perfumes take me on a journey and I could be anywhere in the World and return to my younger self in a heartbeat. I have never experienced anything like this with other perfumes. Bianchi’s extraits are an experience and entirely dependent upon one’s skin chemistry. It’s so exciting! I would like to try the Dark Side next. Currently trialling Tyger Tyger. It’s a fascinating ride! I’m not sure it’s me though - perhaps a little too retro but superbly well made. Just perhaps a bit too fruity-tuberose for me. Am currently addicted to ‘Under my Skin.’ Oh and just to add, I love the little perfume bottles - they are so collectible and I completely agree with you regarding the price point 🙂. Thank you for your fabulous reviews, they are so enjoyable 🙂.
Dan and Jo, thanks and Merry Christmas! You’ve convinced me. I’m planning on ordering a sampler set along with a Tyger Tyger sample. First, Dan, I kudos on your attire in this video! I love the color combinations. Sorry, Jo! I like black and wear it all the time. Also, Dan, when you said, “shagged themselves in the face”, I laughed for awhile. Sorry that your under the current restrictions, but that expression struck me a funny. I realize there’s nothing funny about the restrictions, and please know that you’re in my prayers as you face the holidays in the pandemic. I’m glad to hear that you recovered from COVID. You and jo have been a Godsend this year! Thank you for all you’ve done! I’m looking forward to sampling the art of Francesca, as well! I hope you and your families have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Mike, many thanks for your comment, wishes, and continued support. The ‘shagged themselves in the face’ was actually referring to Brexit, due to happen at the end of the year. I hope that you and your family are healthy and happy, and have Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Am gonna buy this and perhaps occasionally wear for my jaunts to the grocery store, where I often pass through (as a shortcut) the cemetery where William Blake's buried. :)
Absolutely love you guys. That said, Bought Zoologist's Dodo after watching your review and I have to say: I can't find anything redeeming about it. I can bear it if I layer it. But solo I can't imagine where and when this fragrance would prove appropriate.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Haven't had any complaints yet. 'Sticky Fingers' sometimes 4 sprays (so addictive), today 3 - I spray under and on top of the ears. I keep most of my perfumes in the fridge 😁
Just ordered a bottle of this...I can't not order a bottle when Claire, Dan and Jo all agree on a fragrance! 😄I have Cuir Soyeux and it's a beautiful fragrance...the prominent nots are iris and suede. It's not a dark leather at all in my opinion. It is a powerhouse, though. It lasts all day and into the next. Cheers, guys. Loved the review!

Thanks Francesca. Just sharing our honest thoughts.
Got my bottle last week and it’s fabulous never doubted Francesca it’s her all over,what a last release of 2020 she ends the year in epic style 🇮🇪🙏🙏

It's my favourite fragrance from all the FB range! Amazing!
I gotta smell this. That Blake poem, really all of his naturalistic work, is so evocative of the Tiger in the woods and how fearsome it is (and why it would be created in the first place)
My favourite perfumer, I'm dying to get this one 😍 great to hear both of your thoughts on this one 🍀
Omg, still trying to decide between Lost in Heaven and Under My Skin. My indecision can't be exposed to this!
Sample them all, and see which one works best on you. They are all fantastic!
Ordered! Was able to justify it to myself by the EU thing! Love all Francesca's perfumes, can't wait to smell this. Thanks guys (and Happy Christmas!).
Drunk ordering is definitely a thing.
Certainly is!

@@david-Davidson - some of my best decisions and orders have been made after too much wine 🍷🍷. Enjoy your order from FA.
@@kathywitter6076 haha it's so true, sometimes those inhibitions need a little kick to the curb 😉 thanks
Been there done that, still have the 15 fragrances!

I need to try this cause it sounds amazing and you need to try Etruscan Water. I don't know how you've missed that one. Cheers! Happy Holidays!
Great house I love angels dust and black night

“It’s a great little poem” -- I love when Joe tosses out the little one-liners.

Does this smell like Kamal’s Dahab minus the apple note in Dahab? They smell so similar to me. I love it
I have ordered samples from all her 11 perfumes. Wanted to try them all . Dark knight seems great too
They are all fantastic. No duds. Enjoy exploring them!
Reminds me "Tiger Tiger" ("The Stars My Destination") by Alfred Bester.
wonderful talk (: you guys have fans from Puerto Rico 😸 here!
My bottle is on the way too 🐅🐯❤️
Hurrah!
Am gonna buy this and perhaps occasionally wear for my jaunts to the grocery store, where I often pass through (as a shortcut) the cemetery where William Blake's buried. :)
I got a decant on its way, very excited!

Wouldn't be surprised if it goes extinct...
@@andersvogel8097 Well done!
Well, it has just been reformulated, by a new perfumer, so I imagine you weren’t the only one who disliked it?
3 sprays for all of Francesca's perfumes. I own all of them, all 12.
Wow, that would be intense!
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Haven't had any complaints yet. 'Sticky Fingers' sometimes 4 sprays (so addictive), today 3 - I spray under and on top of the ears.
I keep most of my perfumes in the fridge 😁

I'm so jealous you've got Cuir Soyeux 😂😂
I'm having a bottle, and if it's anything like Lost in Heaven I'll be happy. I share your fears on importing.
Enjoyed this review
Thanks!
Nice review.......
Thanks!

I just finished watching Tiger King this morning, and then this video pops up on my feed. Synchronicity, hmmm.
😂🤣😂
Drunk me makes the best purchases!
Love it! I need to stop with the drunk purchases myself lmao.
What’s the fun in that?
