The Mariner’s Rhyme

Description

The Mariner’s Rhyme by Francesca Bianchi pays homage to the vastness, beauty and darkness of the ocean in a unique experience.

With a very high concentration of perfume, her Extrait de Parfum are coveted all over the world as authentic works of art, which, curiously enough, is the degree that Francesca Bianchi holds.

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.

The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.

Fragment from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

The Mariner’s Rhyme is an ode to the sea, capturing the essence of turbulent waters and its vast horizon.

The journey begins with a citrusy and ozonic opening, evoking the fresh, salty breeze that caresses the skin on a ship’s deck. The dominant presence of ambergris adds a sense of salinity and a subtly intriguing animalistic quality.

At the heart of this fragrance, iris brings density and structure that contrasts with the initial transparency, while hints of orange blossom bring a touch of earthly sweetness, reminiscent of the distant coast on the horizon.

The soul of this creation lies in its deeper notes. Musk and aldehyde intertwine with oakmoss, evoking the shadows of underwater abysses. Elemi and incense add a mystical and evocative touch, like the echoes of ancient sailors’ chants in the night breeze.
