The Dark Side by Francesca Bianchi is warm and creamy, intimate and mysterious, inspired by the streets of Marrakech in Morocco and the rich, enchanting exuberance of its markets and streets. A fragrance made by and for the perfumer!
It's a fragrance with many layers. The first sniff reminds you of a soft amber scent. But slowly and surely, it evolves into an intense, rich aroma—while still remaining delicate. In our experience, it's a luxurious scent with a hint of honey, the spiciness of incense, and the comforting warmth of vanilla. In 2016, The Dark Side won the Adjiumi Award for Best Niche Perfume (International).
“It reminds me of museum masterpieces, old houses and alleys in Florence, the dust and the patina of history. And if you wait long enough, you will find that the perfume is not dark – it’s powdery sweet, like an ionone-labdanum-musk accord.” - fragrance journalist Sergey Borisov

The best of woody scents combined with the warmth of the oriental scent family. Here flowers do not play a leading role, but wood notes dominate. Take sandalwood accompanied by patchouli for an earthly character.
