Tyger Tyger

I think this is the most beautiful and sexy fragance I have ever smelled, at least for tonight because this brand parfums are different each day I wear them. This was the first Francesca's I ever tried when I bought the discovery set last Christmas. The opening was one of the most beautiful I have ever experienced (usually I dont like openings), but then it becomes funkier and funkier with the animalitcs and the burnt leather being too strong, it evoques me the part of the poem's girl between the flames in hell lol. Tonight, in the middle of september when still is hot but not suffocating, I felt adventourous and I tried again. (I like more how fragances usually blend better in my skin during hot weather) .The opening and the funkier phase are still there, but the leather doesnt bother me anymore! It is basically peach, jasmin (people say Tuberose but normaly I dont like tuberose because it is too banana bublegum to me and I hate that smell) and honey, but blended so well that there is not your typicall peach or honey. (I usually dont like peach when they are the protagonists -I dont mind in chypres like Mitsouko, I love chypres - or fruity parfumes!!! Because this is peach jam, not the tipical fruity peach you find in other fragances). The base is a smoky leather but it is not overwhelming, it gives deepnes and a warm hug (it would be too inocent girly for me without it). After 2h it gets powedery and more vanille but never vanille into your nose, it is the typical Francesca Bianchi's dna, so if you liked it in other of her fragances, is here too but with that beautiful peach always present. People say it smells dusty and vintage but what can I say? To me is very classic and elegant but I dont feel anything dusty or old at all (I am +30). It has some melancholy perhaps. It is sweet but in an expensive way (I hate when they are too sugared, the sweetness here comes from the beautiful materials). Fot me this is the perfect sugary point. I have always thought that I cant wear a peach parfume because thats not me at all, but here I have found a fragance that I think is perfectly all I want to transmit about my personality. It is dramatic hehe, it changes a lot at the begginning, playful and never boring with a touch of mistery but warm and confortable at the same time. Most of the "mistery" and gothic fragances usually are too dark to me. Here the peach is light, the smoky leather is darkness. If I dont run to my usual boutique to buy a full bottle is because people around me feel it too strong and animalic u u If only the rest of the world could smell the beautiful elixir I can smell...

Another Bianchi scent joins my collection, and i am yet to regret a blind buy from this house. Opening is intensely moasy, powdery with a prominent leather tone that may even go slightly barnyardy at moments. Unlike most reviewers, i cannot feel that "white flower bomb" they claim is there. The honey note is there, but it's not very forward in the opening, where the oakmoss/patchouli/heliotropin work together to create the leathery sensation pushing it to the background. What comes out right after the initial spray is the peach marmalade on top of the leather note, creating quite a unique sensation very unlike the other Bianchi scents i have - the lack of ambergris here makes the "salty human skin" note that you can get in many of her other creations not a thing here. Instead, towards the drydown the honey and peach marmalade (and it smells more of a handmade at home in a metal pot over a fire peach marmalade, not the sugary commercial ones - its darker, deeper, slightly baked peach) notes go from resting on top of a leather coat into a bed of soft creamy balsamic sandalwood mixed with slightly earthy, vegetal oud, but the oud here is not dominant nor does it take over the composition with animalic undertones, like some hardcore middle eastern ouds do. Longevity seems to be excellent, but this is not a loudly projecting fragrance, its more on the soft sensual side, especially during the drydown. All and all - excellent artistic scent - maybe the single peach heavy fragrance i have smelled that still lean more masculine thanks to the way it was utilized.

Not as sweet as I expected, which was a great surprise. I thought it might be overly sweet and cloying, but it’s much less sugary than typical gourmands like SWY Intensely or Lattafa Khamra. Upon the initial spray, I mostly get honeyed flowers, but not the synthetic honey you find in popular fragrances like Naxus or JPG LME. This honey smells like wild, natural honey, the rich and aromatic kind made by bees from indolic flowers. The peach here isn’t what you’d expect either. Instead of a straightforward gourmandish fruit, Francesca masterfully created an abstract, soft undertone that really fits her concept: lush florals wrapped in darkness, a beauty in tension with danger. This honeyed floral accord, with the subtle roundness from the peach, almost has a boozy quality to it, which feels luxurious, warm, and subtle. As it dries down, the sweetness fades even more while keeping the warmth. The fragrance settles into a leathery, earthy base: patchouli adds depth and earthiness, grounding the florals and darkening the leather, while sandalwood brings a soft, creamy warmth that rounds everything out. Together, they create a powdery, musky, and subtly dark animalic foundation that balances the sweetness and floral brightness beautifully.

Tyger Tyger imitates the powerful contraposition between a highly sophisticated and refined civilisation managing to survive in a dark and fearful post-apocalyptic world. The juxtaposition between light and dark in this scent is gorgeously thought provoking, and leaves you questioning which side of yourself you want to indulge today. A delectable sweetness dominates here, but not in a typical gourmand fashion. Indolic white flowers, namely tuberose, provide an essence of innocent sweet fruitiness which is then elevated by the indulgence of sticky honeyed peaches. To contrast, a dark and mysterious base of thick leather and patchouli pull you in deeper. Surprisingly, there is no orris listed here which is unusual for Bianchi, however the powdery and creamy facets of sandalwood, oakmoss and heliotrope more than make up for it. I can see why this is one of the more popular fragrances from this house, it is absolutely beautiful. Bianchi’s true talent is best demonstrated when it comes to combining such conflicting notes together and have it somehow come out smelling smooth and rounded. Definitely among my favourites.

Wow. This opens very, very sweet and juicy. Your teeth involuntarily sharpen like a vampire, looking for something delicious to puncture. "What is that mouthwatering smell?" Slurp. After a few seconds, the peach-sweet suddenly gets brazenly leathery, woody, mossy. Now, the patchouli is bringing the sunny fruit further back down to earth. Once this rowdy party of rich vibes settles in — oh, my. It's a perfect, never-before-known harmony. A juicy peach bleeding honey onto a bed of smoky, sweet sticks and earthy, mossy leaves. Who thinks to create something like this?! Absolutely stunning. I intentionally tried this sample last because I was convinced the notes would be complete cacophony. I'm not a sweet perfume person, I said. Peach is always dreadfully synthetic in perfumes, I said. Patchouli isn't usually for me, I said. I love being wrong because this is such a stunning surprise. Of the complete collection, here are the samples I ended up keeping (and will see if they lead to a full bottle): The Dark Side Luxe Calme Volupté Under My Skin Sex and The Sea Tyger Tyger

The brand new fragrance by the amazingly talented Francesca Bianchi is a landmark of pure perfume vintage art. Based on the masterpiece of poetry by William Blake this new fragrance is actually liquid poetry in a bottle. A truly tremendous and powerful fragrance with notes of narcotic flowers, honey, peach jam, patchouli, sandalwood, oakmoss, Oud, leather and heliotropin. It is fear and beauty captured in an extrait de Parfum that’s ready to twist your mind and senses but at the same time filling you with courage to approach fear in the face of this wondrous tiger ready to reveal a hidden treasure inside her warm loving heart. I consider Tyger Tyger a true bonafide treat to serious perfume connoisseurs. A dramatic pleasurable fragrance you discovered in a secret hiding place. Full of dust and debris you slowly open the cap granting you the power to instantly be fearless. Tyger Tyger is a gift from Francesca Bianchi to us to end 2020 feeling stronger, bolder and ready for 2021! Longevity 16 hours + Sillage enormous Fragrance rating 10/10 pure vintage.

Let this review be a gentle reminder to macerate your perfume/sample. Tyger Tyger didn't work when I first tested it because the drydown was overwhelmingly screechy on me. Now, about a year later, I'm certain this is what a love potion smells like if I ever happen to come across one. Bewitching, beguiling. I tried to fight the urge to wear it in this summer heat, but I just couldn't stay away. The dense, sticky, raw honey and ripe fuzzy peach combined with that underlying creamy white florals had me crawling back every single time. Most of the animalics came from the honey note so it's beginner friendly. And the way this entire concoction sprawls across a bed of dusty iris, Bianchi's signature DNA, is simply the cherry on top. Irresistible. It haunts me, to the point where I can smell it on my nose, opening to drydown, at the mere mention of its name. I honestly have never experienced anything like this besides Musc Ravageur. Whatever sort of witchcraft Francesca put into this fragrance, I'm happy to have fallen under its spell.

Wowza, what a strong and animalistic leather opening! It's very heavy sillage, and one spray spread across the body might totally suffice! (**but please note, I am not the hugest fan of leather**) Saying that, once it starts mellowing, it's utterly fascinating! I can smell honey sweetness. I can smell floral depth (magnolia?! I can't tell exactly what flowers they are). I can smell the earthy moss and patchouli. I can smell burnt wood. And, my brain doesn't quite know what to make of it all together. All I know for sure is that I can't stop smelling myself! (Seriously, I am glad I sprayed this at home, because every minute or so I keep putting my arm up to my face, for another sniff, and probably look like an idiot, haha!) This has insane longevity, as well! 20 hours later, I can still smell it on my forearm! (I can't smell it anywhere else I had sprayed, but it's a very prominent skin scent on the forearm!)

The aroma of this perfume has enchanted me although it is much lighter than other fragrances of the brand. It is quite similar to sex & the sea although reducing the intensity and the more animalistic part and changing the pineapple and coconut for the peach. It is a fruity and sweet perfume, soft and easy to wear. The leather is noticeable from the beginning to the bottom but always soft. Honey is remarkable, but it is not a pungent and animalistic honey as in many perfumes, but sweet and very pleasant. The duration is good, more than 10h, although with a very moderate projection. It seems to me a daily perfume, much more commercial than other perfumes of the brand. The quality of the ingredients is good and natural. I see it unisex although perhaps touching a little more the feminine side. Scent: 9.5 Longevity: 8.5 Sillage: 6 Versatility: 8 Originality: 8 Overall: 9

This is a follow-up review, because I first tried this in the dead of winter and it disappeared immediately into a vaguely beeswax-smelling skin scent. But I've been wearing it again this weekend, and it's an entirely different animal (ha!) in this rainy April weather. Now I can smell the honeyed white florals, the leather, oak moss and oud. It's beautiful, unique, and has a classical quality that makes me feel confident and even slightly dangerous. Very sexy, but in a sophisticated way. I agree with those who say it's a bit vintage and 70s-- the animalic accord and the depth of the florals create that, I think. But the honey feels like an update. This is a reminder to myself to give perfumes a try in different seasons--it really can make a huge difference. I had given up on this one, but based on my experience with it this weekend I just ordered a full bottle.

Inspired by a poem by William Blake, Tyger Tyger represents a duality between the irresistibly attractive and at the same time terrifying. It is a fragrance with two incredibly well integrated facets. An outlet of white flowers, with fruit and honey that may seem somewhat more feminine, but, when it begins to dry out, like a tiger that comes out in the middle of the jungle, the notes of sandalwood, leather, moss and all wrapped up emerge. In the creaminess of the accord already known to lovers of Francesca Bianchi del orris. This fragrance does not take any turn in the line of its creator, but the proposal is a work of perfect alchemy. Fully unisex and easily worn all year round. Uniqueness: Medium-high Scent: 8/10 Sillage: Medium Longevity: 10h you can follow me and see more reviews on Instagram in the account International_niche_community

Take a bouquet of tuberose and dip it in honey. The catch is, it's not some civilised honey from the jar, oh no, it's dirty wild honey straight from the source and it's sticky on your fingers (why did you dip your fingers in it? Don't question it, Francesca Bianchi's sexy perfume might have short-circuited your brain but it's okay, just go with it). There's overripe peaches here too, and peach marmalade. Despite the sweetness and decidedly edible wild honey and peach notes, it's not a gourmand. It's heavy and opulent but not overwhelming. The dry down is what Bianchi's Unspoken Musk promised and failed to deliver on my skin: skanky, dirty and animalic with a side of oud and leather + that leftover sweetness which stays on from the very start. Performance-wise, as usual, longevity over 8 hours and moderate to strong sillage.

This has the Bianchi signature to it, the beeswax and particular leather accord are directly recognizable from others in the line (Dark Side, Byzantine Amber, Black Night) but with the interesting addition of a syrupy peach. It’s syrupy but I don’t find it saccharine as the leather balances out, it’s matured and rich. I don’t have a high tolerance to sweet perfumes either so I find it interesting that other reviewers find this sickly sweet - maybe the honey combo? This embodies the sultry artistic flare of the line and has elements from others that I like all rolled into one so Tyger Tyger ended up as the one full bottle from Bianchi I added to the collection. Worth noting, it is slightly less potent than the other Bianchi fragrances, not necessarily a bad thing.

This is my favorite Bianchi composition. In a word, I would describe this as AMBROSIA. Sweet and sticky, honied white florals enveloped by leather. it's amazing. It doesn't project as much as other Bianchi's, but it's by no means purely a skin scent and it has great longevity--> that's fine with me. It is intoxicating, sensual, and has that sexy, buttery leather DNA that FB is famous for, albeit the naughtiness is dialed down here and hence more versatile in my opinion. It is sexy but doesn't smell like sex as do most of her other compositions. I think this is what I had hoped Zoologist Bee would be like, but for some reason, Bee opened with a sour/pungent quality that was very offputting to my nose, and Bee also lacks the nectar-like sweetness of Tyger Tyger.

I love this fragrance It is such a spiced honey vanilla, almost a bit boozy but not in a vanilla bourbon way more of a scotch type of boozy drink. It’s beautiful perfect for this time of year. It gives me an older fragrance vibe like it’s from the 70”s but NOT old fashion. Definitely strong and lasting. Longevity is amazing and sillage at first is arms length and maybe stronger but after 6 hours it becomes this beautiful creamy skin scent. Now remember each person can be different with this! this is Unisex for sure, very gender neutral! I have to say at first I wasn’t sure I was going to like this, there has been some much hype on YouTube in regards to this house and fragrance. I definitely want to try more from this house. Highly Recommended 10/10

Tyger Tyger is remind me of pencils rubber which have flavors that we use in elementary school but in a beast mode perspective. This also remind me if Im going to Jumaah prayer to the Mosque. The Ustaz will smell like this. Maybe this perfume mediocre also in conjunction with arabic musky kasturi. Overall, if you want to get notice and grab the attention. You can buy this perfume as it is really excellent choice. It is really sweet and seductive in a good manner. The most important is this perfume manage to tone down my boss eagerness. Longevity on skin (in my case Im using it in office which about to last 18 hours) Longevity on shirt ( 2 to 5 days if Im not washing it) Projection 2 feet and above Overall - Bellissimo Profundo!!!

I just got a Francesca Bianchi discovery set, and this is my introduction to her perfumes. On my skin Tyger Tyger opens with a big honey blast, tempered by the peach. Tyger Tyger evolves so much that by the time I get the suede-like Leather note, it has transformed in a powdery and cosy experience. White flowers are listed, but everything blends with the skin, so it's difficult to distinguish them because the whole thing is very consistent. Then in the deep dry down, the heliotrope dominates giving this "clean" almost "soapy" (to my nose) effect. Beautiful. Longevity is great on my skin, 10 h plus, with an arm's length sillage. Very unisex. This is a nice Tyger, like the one from Winnie the Pooh.

So I blind bought a bottle of this, a terrible habit of mine. But I'm not mad. Without being influenced by the notes, I get a distinctly incense-woody, boozy, camphor fragrance that's sweet enough (some honeyed fruit notes) to seem femme-friendly. I really enjoy the juxtaposition of sweet fruit with the animalic, camphor dynamic. I have nothing like this in my collection--in dry down this becomes leathery, dirty-powder (not makeup), but with a bit of mentholated lift. I love perfumes that leave you a little off kilter--like, who is she? She's a bit vintage, a bit complex, a bit surly and unexpected. Such a cool perfume and so happy it's in my collection. ROARRRR. ha.

Wowsers! This is wonderful. Utterly delicious from the first spray and it gets better and better as time passes. I experience this as spiced & honeyed peach segments surrounded by summer flowers in full bloom, while sitting on a soft, plush leather lounge. I get a powdery heliotropic cloud obscuring the sun for just enough time for a whiff of deep, dark forest corruption to waft across my garden, before the heliotropic fruits and flowers reappear. It's perfectly balanced between the dark and light, the sweet and the pungent, the tame and the barbaric. I absolutely love it. Distillation: luscious, honeyed peach in a garden of flowers on a leather couch

The output is animalic in a warm style like the skin of a cat, with a buttery iris, with creamy flowers, enveloping, thick... it quickly makes us understand that it is a perfume with intentions, it does not hesitate, it will not turn around. On the other hand, he does not hesitate to change, mature, going in the direction of Femme de Rochas, I recognize a hint of that old acquaintance,... less aggressive. The buttery weight sweetens over time and the tuberose rounds out next to the leather. The milky peach (lactone) takes center stage. It leaves us with a feeling of constant "insinuation", it is still very warm and somewhat vintage

Fruity floral dark chypre. The blend of heavy notes like leather and oud along with soft florals after getting past the sharp exotic pulpy tart fruitiness in the opening, done so well, the vibe of a damp forest with some herbs and tropical jammy fruits around, with the wind pleasantly blowing in, white flowers falling to the ground comes to mind. Heliotrope and patchouli makes this dense and smooth holding together all the other elements, honestly it's hard to pick out individual notes in this one. Modern, potent, complex and likeable at the same time. To me the best from Francesca Bianchi. Must try from the house 9/10

I know all of Francesca's perfumes. Some I love, some I don't, but always curious about her creations. I have got a sample. One year later I have got a full bottle. I am in love. Tyger Tyger is an interesting new work of art, especially in its middle and base notes. Perfect balance, a magical alchemy, changing and developing new notes during twelve hours of glory. Not strong sillage, as other fragrances of FB, but is part of the game. At the end, you can still smell the tuberose at 5 centimetres of your skin, but if you go closer that disappear and you have the wild peach and delicious smoked woods, reminding Oud.

My experience with this fragrance has been confusing. I have a sample without a squirter, which is always frustrating, and I’ve only tried it in cold winter weather. What I get from this is beeswax. It smells exactly like a natural beeswax candle I bought at Colonial Williamsburg as a kid. I love the smell of beeswax, so I enjoy it, but I don’t understand where all the other notes are. I’m thinking it’s just too cold here in the frozen north for this to really develop on my skin. Even though people seem to have this pegged as a winter fragrance, I’m looking forward to revisiting it when it gets warmer!

A jungle empress dressed in deep jewel-toned robes sits serenely on her throne as throngs of admirers lay gifts at her feet: jars of honey, preserved peaches and huge bouquets of tropical flowers. Bundles of sandalwood are brought in huge leather baskets warmed by the sun. A light breeze carries in the remnants of incense burning at a temple nearby. This fragrance is a complex, intoxicating journey from start to finish. It leans feminine but I would love to smell this on a man. The syrupy peachy-floral opening morphs into a mossy, woody soft leather, with a heavenly, delicate powder drydown. 10/10

I have all FB perfumes since I consider Francesca to be an amazing artist. First impressions of TT: a sexy, unisex, mysterious and versatile leather/honey/peach fragrance that definitively has the Francesca Bianchi signature. It is not sirupy or heavy but has a remarkable vintage feel to it. Instant love. I will wear this year round for date nights (IMO seems to be good for any weather). Beware of the effect of this fragrance on other people. As Under My Skin does, this potion will elevate you to a sexual hero status.

A gentle, warm sweetness wrapped in something slightly mysterious, like the quiet guy at the Christmas party who doesn’t talk much but radiates comfort. It’s not loud, but it lingers — like a presence people remember without being able to describe why. It’s balanced in a way few perfumes are: soft enough to be comforting, complex enough to be intriguing. That kind of scent wears you as much as you wear it; it fuses with your skin until it feels like part of your atmosphere. It's very signature scent worthy.

Francesca Bianchi takes the title of one of William Blake's most famous poems invoking the dark side (so to speak, given this is the name of another one of her masterpieces) of "burning Bright" as Blake writes. The tiger is dangerous and this scent is powerful, not scary, but the wearer needs to know it is seductive and more than playful. Its notes sink their claws in in ways that produce a unique embrace of notes. It has strong sillage and longevity. Not for office wear, but certainly full bottle worthy.

A very strong sweet fragrance. It's like walking in a very sweet jungle. There's a slight woody hint to it, making it even more alluring. There's not much to dislike about it, yet it is still unique in its own way. I'd say this is one of the safer blind buys, but do keep in mind it's still a very strong fragrance. If you're into sweeter scents, but also like to be a little bit different, then this is definitely for you. Especially if you're interested in trying out nicher fragrances.

WOW! I love Francesca Bianchi is a genius! This perfume has a crazy evolution is so sweet and warm that it reminds of a breakfast with peach jam brioches where you decide how much to put! But what you are experiencing is a memory and then at some point you feel the darkest notes, skin and decide to live the present.. The wearer feels transported between old memories and what evades him in the present .. putting it to the test! I love this perfume madlemenete Thank you Francesca!!

Vintage beauty with a modern twist Opens up with a beautiful dose of vintage white flowers paired with a honeyed peach, while drying down a light leather note becomes noticable, and when its fully dried down you are left with a smooth peach dipped in honey on a light leathery base. Smells like a vintage perfume but with a modern twist, easy to like and the scent itself is very high quality. Really recommend trying this one. 9.5/10

This is beautiful. To my nose this opens with the smell of a chocolate filled with a fruity boozy filling, if you're from the UK it seemed similar to the strawberry quality street. It settles down into a beautiful and soft honey with a leathery backbone, sweet throughout. Of the FB's i've sampled, this is my favourite smell but i am unsure whether i would wear it enough to justify a full bottle. Just a sample for now..

Unisex and leans feminine if you want to be traditional. I saw someone say of another perfume that it was warm crystals and I think this is what I think of as amber and pink crystals warmed in the sun as a scent. Sparkly honey, peach, and white florals blend delicately with warmer leather and animalic notes to create an earthy, rock like sparkle. Along with under my skin, this is a favorite from Francesca from me!

The name refers to a tiger more in the sense of what Mary Jane Watson used to call Peter Parker (from "The Amazing Spider-Man") than in the sense of the animals trained by Siegfried & Roy. This is a seductive, sexy honeyed fragrance with oakmoss and leather; it has a brash opening and a beautiful drydown. I don't find the peach nearly as dominant as the honey. Francesca Bianchi always has beautiful perfumes.

There is some surprisingly detectable tuberose in Tyger Tyger. It is sweet and dirty which might be one of my favorite contrasts in perfume. The other notes in this scent are very difficult to pick out and I will not attempt it haha. I must say I expected some cinnamon in the composition but later became so pleased to find out the absence of it. Sweet/dirty/floral/oriental

Okay, it’s already been established (at least by me) that Francesca Bianchi is a bleeding genius. I own most of her works and most of them I have multiple bottles of. However, if you pressed me against a wall and asked me what is the pinnacle of her creations - I might have to give you the name of this perfume. It’s not a perfume; it’s a magic potion.

This is pretty, while wafting in the air it's devine! Not what I expected at all. Very underated. I feel like it's a perfectly blended leathery peachy honey, all notes I adore and make my mouth water fragrance. Very sexy! I can see why only a certain type of person can appreciate it. GRRRR!!!!

Tyger Tyger is the most interesting from Francesca Bianchi collection. and the easiest to wear. i can't stop smelling my hand. It is unique, balanced, rich and smell expensive. The opening is fantastic and the dry down is nice. projection and longevity is good ( 8 hours). Must try 9.5/10

It’s wonderful, I’m a huge fan of Francesca Bianchi. I own a bottle of almost every perfume in the collection . This one is my favorite after Under my skin. I love that it just smells better and better as it unfolds. This is a must have in my collection.

I imagine a 50s dressing room for a new hollywood movie, although this doesnt state any iris, my nose picks up on something very beautifully powdery and irisy and medicinal. kinda smells like iris shot 10/10 smell 9/10 projection 8/10 longevity

Thick, oily, heavy, very sweet to the point of cloying. Demanding attention both from you and those in the same room. A typical Bianchi. Either you like them or then you don't. But with Bianchi you always know what you're gonna get.

From a sample: Just brilliant , sparking notes dance on my skin, next stop by a full bottle, i love the different ways it develops and fires my imagination , this i like very much

the opening is interesting but the drydown... so beautiful, so warm and enveloping, like a cashmeran scarf made from heliotrope, sandalwood and oud. just lovely

I really like this one, it smells like a sno-cone or a red white and blue bomb pop to me. I think I will buy a bottle.

smells like fermented peach jam, but in a good way. very intoxicating.

Leathery, jammy peach marmalade with a dirty animalic touch. So sexy.

Best best best best best best from this house ❤️❤️

I had prepared myself for the potential of a fatal blind buy. Other reviews, here and elsewhere, had spoken in depth as to the rich complexity of a Francesca Bianchi creation, warning its not a fragrance line for the faint of heart. And yet....here I am wearing Tyger Tyger on a spring day completely enchanted, not the least bit overwhelmed by notes which might elsewhere be too much - oud, leather and patchouli. I get the peach - right at the top brushed with raw honey - but the peachy scent is brief and quickly followed by the florals dripping in a resinous sweetness. The animalic is clearly of the leather variety and is woven expertly into the composition - not skanky but edgy. After the first couple of hours, the leather and honey dissipate and I am left with a soft peachy sweetness. I don't know that I would categorize this as "vintage smelling" unless it means in comparison to the overly sugar sweet profiles of some popular scents where honey or peach smell straight from the candy aisle. Otherwise, this one leaves me completely charmed.

Lovely! Just like many great houses, Francesca Bianchi’s fragrance line possesses a distinguishable DNA of animalic notes, wood, tobacco, leather, and patchouli, more or less present in each of the fragrances I’ve tested so far. Given that this core is quite heavy, with a sort of dirty, erotic feel, her fragrances can be difficult to pull off as daily wear- but not Tyger Tyger. This fragrance seems to feature less of her signature DNA, or at least it plays more of a supporting role, unlike in Sticky Fingers, for example. The main notes are white flowers and heliotrope, drenched in honey and peachy juiciness. It is sweet, but not overly so; powdery, but not excessively so either. It has a very feminine feel, but with an edge and a twist. Very interesting, though perhaps somewhat mature for my age and preference. Still, I enjoyed sampling it, and I praise Francesca for this creation! Longevity and sillage are amazing.

This is different than I was expecting based on the reviews, but going by the notes alone, I can make sense out of it. Tyger Tyger is not a honey perfume for me. It's not sticky sweet, nor particularly dense. Rather, this is a honeyed floral with peach and soft leather. There's a retro quality, maybe like something you could imagine smelling in the 70's. The peach is dry rather than juicy and the white flowers are not indolic nor hairspray-like. The moss is playing a supporting role behind the leather, which gives it sort of a shoe store quality. I wish I got the feline connotation, but I really don't. This is not a dirty or crazy perfume for me, but it is a little bit quirky, and may really suit the right person. Slightly fem leaning. Tyger Typer is lower on the headache scale for me, I'd say it's neither totally natural nor aromachemical city. Radiates moderately and lasts many hours.

Tyger Tyger is right in Francesca Bianchi’s comfort zone: dense, sweet, lusty, bottom-heavy scents. It’s exactly what it sounds like: a dark peachy honey. There’s a nice smooth beeswax texture to it, and a soft, skin-like muskiness. I can’t smell the leather overtly, but I can feel that the dense, jammy peach-and-honey syrup is disappearing into dark depths, which saves it from the frivolity that sweet fruity scents can fall into. It’s kind of similar to Lost in Heaven (Francesca Bianchi Does Orange Blossom) only with peach in place of orange blossom, and maybe less overt animalism. And they both work great for me. Tyger Tyger is honey-drenched peach-jam sweetness with a hint of salt sweat to ground it, which makes it one of my favorite renditions of peach in perfume. It’s long-lasting, it’s dense, it’s satisfying, and it’s got gravitas. But you’ve gotta like peach.
