"My creative journey has always been driven by the concept of an "Emotion Generator Machine, " crafting fragrances to spark specific feelings. With this scent, I began with the classic fougère structure—green, aromatic, and woody—then disrupted it with an unexpected tropical twist, led by juicy mango. The result is a fragrance that balances comforting familiarity with playful brightness, evoking joy and surprise."
In creating this perfume, Francesca Bianchi delved deeper into the mechanisms of emotional response through scent. Can emotions be decoded and replicated? This experiment aimed to write a "Code of Emotion, " fine-tuning each note like a mechanic working on an engine to evoke nostalgia, passion, or comforting warmth.
The Code of Emotion bursts forth with citrus and spice, which make way for an exotic fruit accord that refreshes the traditional fougère base, making the fragrance both recognizable and intriguingly new. It’s mouthwatering without becoming gourmand, pampering yet invigorating. The grounding woody notes creates a vibrant constrat with the lively fruitiness. As a final challenge, Bianchi avoided iris-like accords and minimized animalic notes, opting for just a hint of clean musks to preserve the scent’s clarity and brightness. Familiar yet surprising, The Code of Emotion has all the artistry and beauty we've come to expect from Francesca Bianchi.
