Divine Perversion

This lovely gem will probably take its space on my shelf where all those "down the memory lane" frags are. It's interesting to read other reviews and to realize how different we are when it comes to fragrances and impressions that they make on us. I sprayed the sample on my wrist and was instantly thrown back to my happy childhood days. This smells exactly like those plastic-rubbery pony toys that we played with as kids. It made me so happy, but at the same time I just cannot connect the smell that reminds of something so innocent and pure with the name Divine Perversion. Memories in my head are so strong that I just can't think of anything kinky while smelling this. Raspberry, leather and caramel with a hint of iris are the most dominant notes. Fragrance fills up the room but it's not cloying or agressive. As I'm aware, FB fragrances should not be oversprayed. On my skin, it lasted around 8h until it became skinscent. Divine Perversion is my first fragrance from Francesca Bianchi creation and I'm definitely interested to try more.

My sample arrived Friday. I am a huge Francesca Bianchi fan and I was execting a fragrance which needs to grow on me, like all her others. But hey first spray, love at first sniff. Reading the other reviews its again an absolute proof of how different our senses work. For me this is such a non typical FB scent. For me this is the ultimate raspberry scent. That is actually all I can smell. in different variations from opening to dry down. I wore it on my wrists and the next morning I was sure one of the kids left Haribo sweets in my bed. Thats how sweet and delicious it still smelled after 10 hours. I strongly reminds me of Elle by Xerjoff. I will wear them side by side and let you know. Since I never dared a full Xerjoff Elle, I might have found a great alternative which might even be better... I will investigate this point... Definitely full bottle worthy for me. Not as daring as I would have hoped but totally intoxicating and sexy...

After sampling this, it was love at first sniff. I now have a full bottle and am looking to buy a second. My only complaint is I wish there was a 100 ml size. I love Orris and so this is a highly addictive scent for me. It lasts forever and has incredible sillage. It lasts at least 16 hours on my skin and no fragrance has ever lasted longer than 12 on my skin. To me, this is something you wear when you want to exude sex appeal. It’s sexy in a subtle way. It feels sexy without screaming sexy. When I wear it, I feel sexy even when I wasn’t feeling like it before I sprayed it on. All I know is, it’s addictive to wear and I love smelling it all day long. And honestly, I don’t care what anyone around me thinks of it. It’s for me.

This fragrance is an absolute hidden gem of the recent niche era! If you're fed up with the smokey oud combined with florals and the gourmand vanilla amber mainstream niche perfumes, you're going to have a great time exploring Francesca Bianchi's creations. Divine Perversion is a really unique, unconventional blend of leather, iris, and fruity sweet notes, but not in an annoying or nauseous way, rather than a head-turning, extravagantly feminine way. Definitely an interestingly seductive fragrance, like "I'd go into some serious philosophical, yet flirty discussion with you, and then get your ass spanked by a leather whip, and have some lustful s*ex" ;) Great! 10/11!

ive got a sample from scentsplit and its quickly transformed into my everyday scent. its so smooth and rich and it doesnt have this sharpness i find in most scents. i think the leather and raspberry is the most prominent. i love how it gives a sort of pamela anderson vibe. a girl on the back of a harley wearing her older bfs leather jacket while slathered in raspberry lotion. i love how its so luxe but it smells cheap (positive) its skanky, its sex kitten. first spray is a bomb but it quickly settles into something more manageable but it has decent projection. i wore it and my friend said i smelled good when she hugged me. my cousin however said it smells dangerous.

This is fantastic stuff if you enjoy young, sweet leather. It reminds me of high-quality melted dark chocolate seamlessly blended with the smell of a leather jacket that's been warmed up while sitting on the backseat of a car in direct sunlight. Very, very seductive. Performance is beast mode with pretty strong silage. Back up bottle worthy for me, but I'd suggest trying a tester vial first. Exquisite Affair is Divine Perversion's classy little sister, more suited to spring/summer and daywear whereas Divine Perversion is an erotic creature of the night, particularly in Autumn/Winter - or if you have a very raunchy date planned with a Dom.

Smells sexy, expensive and unique. Quite an addicting scent. I keep smelling my hand absent-mindedly throughout the day. The pink pepper is a bit too much in the opening for me, but it’s gone after 20 minutes and then it turns into the most alluring iris and rose blend i’ve ever smelled (that lasts on clothes until i wash them again). Very powdery to my nose. The caramel’s buttery sweet, but not too much, because the leather is quite dominant. I find the leather note stronger on clothes, however, the animal notes seem to be more noticeable on skin. I think i can smell the raspberry only because i know that it’s there, though...

Kinky, sensual, naughty. It starts off as syrupy sweet leather but within 30 min transforms into something absolutely magical: suede coated with flowery powder, buttery caramel, light animalic scent of warm skin. I have about 100 bottles in my perfume collection, but none offers such development of notes. Needless to say that the ingredients are of the highest quality for all Francesca Bianchi creations.

Beautiful leather fragrance! The opening is a fresh & tart pop of pink peppercorn & raspberry. On my skin, the sublime soft leather note quickly asserts itself. The leather has a kind of halo, or aftertaste of caramel & a hint of rose water. The leather is smooth, rich, and long lasting. The dry-down stays warm leather on me. This will be a wonderful fall fragrance, perfect for fireside, Halloween, etc.

The perfume is very beautiful, and whoever knows Francesca Bianchi perfumes will notice her clear touches on the DNA in this perfume. The animalic note is clear and the fruity notes are well blended with the strength of the earthy iris and the sweetness of the caramel in the background, giving a 3D feeling to the perfume. Not for blind buying

A lush and creamy raspverry lipgloss wrapped in a leather jacket, this is what I'm getting🥰indulgent, decadent, sexy and enveloping. Forget the notes, test it on your skin and let it sink in, you will feel the magic. This is a hidden gem from this house.

it's too strong and gave me a nausea. it kinda reminds me of lattafa teriaq intense. I can feel it is a quality perfume yet I don't like it. after 3 hrs, it smells like peachy saliva on my skin. +very creamy milky peach.

Well behaved kink. I became a huuuge Francesca Bianchi fan, because of the lush, slightly edgy compositions that evoke expensive sexy textures. The quality of her first line is so good, I gladly spend retail price for it. That says something as I almost never do that. A sweet, fruity slightly powdery leather with a floral hint, at first I thought violet, but probably it's the iris. I really enjoy the perfume, although it’s not as potent as het extraits I can conclude after wearing it for a day. It’s still the good quality that we know from her but I feel this is more accessible. It’s not animalic apart from the leather imo. If you like Bottega Veneta for ladies you will most likely like this, too. The branding here evokes SM-vibes, and I like a daring edge. For true SM-Berlin style I think we need to turn to JF Schwarzlose, but actually I am happy about that as I prefer something more wearable. It is also more wearable out in public than, for example, her Under My Skin. Overall it’s a love for me, I do wish it was a little more potent but I’ll get a full bottle at some point for sure.

The store I bought my Angel's Dust from sprayed the package with this scent. I was blown away. It smelled intoxicating. Like a woman who knows her worth just entered the room. Obviously I had to order a sample! Through the sample vial, as with all Francesca Bianchi scents, the smell was *atrocious*. But I was used to that and it didn't fool me. A few minutes after spraying on my skin, it turned into - yep - a BDSM scent. Not sure how to explain it but that's the perfect description. Maybe it's because of the name. Anywho. On my skin, I find it super sexy, sweet, leathery and smoky. But it's missing the *it* factor I got from smelling it for the first time. I still think it's a great perfume, just not exactly for my personality type. Great longevity, good sillage and projection. It's a shame it's not for me!

I am a big fan of Francesca Bianchi. I have tried or own a fairly large number of her fragrances and most I have loved. This one is a like for me, in part because the silage is fairly weak on my skin. Typically her fragrances have a wow factor from the opening note (such as tyger,tyger, the dark side, angels dust). The leather note smells wonderful, but I do not detect as strong a raspberry note as most other commentators do. The caramel is subtle and blends well with the leather. I find it to be unisex. It has solid longevity and it is certainly quite pleasant, but not full bottle worthy. If the silage was just a bit stronger I would give it higher rating.

This is a great complex leathery frag. SEXY! I love the scent but was a bit disappointed in the projection and the longevity. This is great for intimate encounters. More complex and lighter than most leather scents. Can be worn anytime and is not offensive to others. Sits on the skin and you will get more enjoyment than others around you. I find it a bit chic edgy without going out of control. Very enjoyable but not my first leather grab, unless it is seductive known moment.

I disliked it when I first sprayed it but then I started craving it. I liked it more and more as time went buy. Then I realized that it reminds me of Le Couvent TONKA (that also, it took me some time to learn to like, and now I love it! same process!) they share the same vibes. It stays on your clothes for days!

Ah, this was my first Bianchi bottle! According to the notes, I was sure I was going to like it. Don't get me wrong - it's still a beautiful scent. It's sultry, playful, different, nothing like I smelled before... But I think that what ruins it for me just a tad is the caramel note. It just makes it a bit too syrupy sweet for me, and therefore cloying. I would prefer it to bem just a bit more dry and airy. I think that without the caramel note, it would be my perfect lipsticky/powdery perfume. I adore leather smell, but to my nose, the combination of leather and caramel (and then added to that, raspberry) is too big of a clash. It's like deepest bass and highest soprano singing at the same time. Although it's sweet and a bit cloying, the way the scent performs is not loud, like others have noticed. Like other Bianchi's perfumes, the fragrance is intense, but it sits close to the skin, it doesn't really project. It's for you and for whoever can come really close to you.

Fortunately, the rose is muted and does not introduce any too vintage notes. I get a very pleasant clean base of black matte leather partially covered by red strawberry much more than any raspberry. The scent lasts a long time without any signs of decay until finally after about 6 hours the reddish-pink hard candy with proclaimed raspberry prevails. Not bad and definitely nice for a date, but don't look for deeper, more sensual components here due to the flat ending - nothing animalic stands out.

I have a bottle of this for sale or swap! Message me if interested!

Divine Perversion opens with a strong raspberry note. After just about a minute or two, the caramel makes its presence known. The raspberry and caramel make for an interesting combination. Overall, it's too sweet for me and very feminine. The raspberry gradually disappears while the base notes come into play, the strongest being the leather. The combination of caramel and leather (and possibly the woody notes) is not very good. It comes across as a plastic-y leather scent. I'd never wear this myself and don't think it would be very attractive on a woman either. Very disappointing fragrance.

I had high hopes for this new FB creation, the notes sound so good. On skin, on my skin anyways, it’s a plasticky sirupy mess. Like artificially flavoured gummies that are only reminiscent of raspberry in their colour. Where is the leather, where is the FB dirty orris signature? Disappointed, but in a way relieved that the good stuff is still and more easily available in her regular line. * this is my opinion, on my skin and to my nose.

So definitely NOT divine. I got a slight hit of the berry and pepper and thought maybe we were off to the races, because on paper, everything but the animal notes seemed promising. Within a half-hour I am giving up and considering this a scrubber. It is just a plastic beast--I have no idea why. It is also slightly like cheap red licorice gone totally awry... I just can't ...

So, in the corner of my grandmother's foyer mirror there was a brick red lipstick. It lived there for over 30 years. It had oily droplets all over and had gone bad a new probably every 2 years of it's long existence. As it had lost it's cap dust had settled over the oily droplets and sealed them in. This smells identical to that lipstick. Instant scrubber.

I think you have to have a nose for fragrances that Francesca Bianchi creates. What I mean by that is, they can be polarizing if you’ve only smelled more traditional feminine scents. I’ve tried just about everything she’s created but haven’t pulled a trigger on a full bottle not because they aren’t great fragrances, the quality of them and scents are amazing but I haven’t bought one yet simply because I have to see myself wearing them more than once or twice. I have been tempted to buy under my skin a few times and will probably own a bottle in the future but this scent I think will be my first fb from her. I tried it from a sample last night around the house and wearing it made me feel a lot of things. Sexy, alluring, unusual, sweet, kinky. Bdsm vibes. Ya know, all the above. This isn’t as daring as her other fragrances I will say that, this is more wearable to me or should I say, more mass pleasing but still with a unique edge that keeps it from being generic in my opinion. The more I write the more I know I’m going to snag a bottle soon. It’s not super beast mode but it’s no shrinking Violet. It had moderate sillage and projection, which was heavy actually in the first few hours. So I guess it was a bit of a beast after all. It lasted on my skin until the next morning because I woke to smelling it on my wrist then I pulled out the shirt from the night before and got a lot of wafts of it still going strong. Mind you all I had was a 1.5ml sample which I sprayed 5x so I’d say it’s quite the performer and like true to Francesca Bianchi fashion, it’s very well blended. The review below mentioned a plastic smell and I don’t get that at all but remember, smell is subjective so sample first. We won’t all end up liking or smelling the same things and that’s the beauty of it really, being different. Perhaps I just have a nose for fragrances of this style because I remember the first perfume I tried of hers early in my journey and I was taken back in a bad way. I thought it was too avant-garde for me at that time. Her dna has grown on me since and even though this is tame compared to her other line, I can still see her dna in here and I’m beginning to love it. The whole perfume really speaks to my personality, a bit daring, not afraid to be noticed. I’m going to wear it out and about and see how I feel about it in the real world before I make my purchase but Im pretty sold already so I think this sweet and sexy little number will be in my collection soon.

Strongly reminiscent of Traversee du Bosphore, surprised no one has mentioned it yet. Divine Perversion is not a dupe but has the same leather-confectionery scent profile as TdB and is much more pungently strong. The two scents have different vibes, with TdB being a watercolour memory of a bygone carnvial, whereas Divine Perversion leans more animalic, sexy, like a BDSM carnival come to life. Compared to TdB, Divine Perversion is much heavier on the suede - which, yes, I would categorize as suede rather than leather. The suede scent is definitely intense but not rough and harsh as a leather would be. Divine Perversion is more intensely sweet and has the animalic qualities of the carnival that TdB has left out. In any case, if you have not smelled TdB, I'd say Divine Perversion is intensely sweet, dense, heavy, with plenty of suede. It makes me feel a little carsick, like you've been sitting inside the inside of a stiflingly warm and sweaty car with worn leather seats; someone in the car oversprayed a syrupy sweet perfume and the windows are stuck rolled up. That's my impression, anyway, and I'm not a big fan of very heavy and syrupy sweet perfume in this style. It smells nice on the blotter but it's not for me - glad I tested this one! It certainly still smells high quality and has the signature Francesca Bianchi animalic touch. Lasting power is fantastic as well.

Lively pink peppered raspberry opening, quickly followed by a noticeable floral lipstick iris, and soon a light animalic warmth. A smooth, caramelised leather. The raspberry feels syrupy, both fruity and candied, and its sweetness is further deepened by the accented caramel. Vanillic amber and light dry woods add a further gourmand flair to the leather, refined by the gradual rise of (synthetic) civet material. The civet is discreet, blending smoothly into the leather and adds a slightly powdery, alluring dirtiness that enhances it. All notes are perfectly complementing one another, are well blended yet reveal a beautiful contradiction between candied sweetness and dirtiness and the leather does not overpower the other notes, but rather stands out as the element that unites them. Fruity leather and also fruity oud combinations rarely appeal to me, perhaps I feel like they are simply cliché, or simply not often to my taste. Francesca Bianchis leathers however, always are most enjoyable and well executed and this one stands as one of my favourites among her creations. It's sweeter than most of her offerings but the contrast between candy sweet and slight dirty animalic is quite delightful. 8/10

I received my sample today and have been wearing it for the last few hours. Every few moments my nose returns to the back of my hand, my elbow, the collar of my blouse to catch some more of this fabulous smell. This is a grown-up adult fruity opening. Dark chocolates with a fruity creme center. It has a little heat, a little warmth from the pepper. That keeps some of the sweetness in check and adds a bite. Dry down and now I’m sitting on a soft brown leather 60s couch, there’s a low fire in the modernist hearth. I have the empty chocolate wrappers scattered around me but chocolate has mixed with the warmth and the fire and become caramel and the full fruity blast has mellowed. The pepper bite stays. This isn’t a going-out fragrance, it’s for staying in. It’s for putting on when you want someone to be drawn to you. I’ve just ordered a full bottle, to join my other two FB bottles (Angel’s Dust and Sticky Fingers) Congratulations Francesca!

This does not have the F. Bianchi DNA like all her other work, this almost smells like something Tom Ford or Initio would make. This could even be called "Lost Raspberry" and sit next to Lost Cherry. The name is semi-accurate, although it lacks the animalic side of things. The opening and mid is a bomb of THICK sueded raspberry. It's fairly sweet compared to her other work, but the orris/leather/caramel accords prevent it from being syrupy. They add a dry feel. Like suede? I would say it leans feminine, but I would wear it. Overall though, it's not my thing really, but not for any reason other than it just not being my thing. I would have liked the fruity notes to be toned down a touch with some dirty notes amped up.

Such a chic and mysterious perfume I love it! The user below me described this perfectly and can 100% agree, "As if you'd eat a raspberry and salty caramel icecream from a suede cone, as you walk past a Bianchi shop, where from whiffs of her other perfumes mingle with your upscale leather jacket." This is exactly what it smells like, sweet, leathery, luxurious, and intoxicating. Bianchi DNA through and through! This scent really makes me nostalgic for some odd reason and for that same reason I will be getting a FB, Love Bianchi and her work! Longevity: 10/10 Sillage: 10/10

A fruity irisy-amber. It smells really nice, I can’t fault it, but it’s not moving me. Or, it’s not moving me enough. It feels like it has the bubblegum aspects of white florals, but without the top-heavy elements. I’m enjoying it, I can’t deny, but I don’t see myself seeking this one out. I hate to say this, but, it feels a little too safe. I mean, it’s really good, I can’t fault it AT ALL, it’s just that I feel a little teeny-tiny bit underwhelmed. Just an eency-weency bit. Look, you might love it, but for me, it’s not enough...

This is right up my street. I fell in love with this at first whiff! A truly animalic leather through and through. The animalic notes are quite strong on my skin actually but thankfully they do get mellowed out by a smooth underlying sweet raspberry note. Unisex, but definitey embodies femininity. Intimate, sexy, sultry, yet almost feline. Perverse for sure. Shame that the performance for me is so weak. Does not last on me or project on my skin. Do not blind buy.

A rather rubbery, metallic and dusty raspberry bubblegum scent. Warming up on the skin the leather comes out accompanied by a sharp iris accord. The synthetic bubblegum raspberry scent is now elevated. I wanted to love this one but I just cant get over the waxy raspberry that almost smells like a plastic scratch and sniff toy. There is a nice suede leather underneath it all but the raspberry ruins it for me.

As if you'd eat a raspberry and salty caramel icecream from a suede cone, as you walk past a Bianchi shop, where from whifts of her other perfumes mingle with your upscale leather jacket. Although, one hour later, it turns into something damn sexy, although on the sweet side .. It is a Bianchi, after all. Advice: the smell in the bottle is totally different than when applied.

Simply mesmerizing. One of the most sexy, seductive scents a lady can wear, surely. I am certain others exist , but I am entranced by this. Quality, sillage and longevity are where you need them to be - this really is a turn on. Not for me to wear personally, but it does the job, please let me say. WOW!

Juicy fruitti powdered leather... This is a sweet leathery cape. Not smooth, or soft, and never hash, it is in between. It has plummy raspberry amberic mix with juicy caramel, touches of woods, & sweet Turkish roses. This is not gourmand, & the sweetness is quite balanced. Beautiful.

I've had this for a few weeks now. I keep waiting for it to change, but I keep smelling the same thing: a plastic Strawberry Shortcake doll from the 80s but with raspberry. I like it. But that's 100% what I get.

You just went on a date with a gorgeous woman, she hands you her leather bag and asks you to get her lipstick, the smell you get opening the leather bag with lipstick inside is what this fragrance smells like

I was told this fragrance was psychoactive and a little bit frightening by a lover who thought it was my body's natural scent. This is the highest compliment I have ever received in 20+ years of perfume.

Nice and strong, but too strong on the leather note for my taste. Rubbery, shoe-like sharp leather, not my cup of tea. Sweet notes are there, but only in the background.

Does it smell like lipstick 💄? I heard a reviewer say it does. Looking to find a replacement for Lipstick On by Replica.

The name of the perfume is "Divine perversion" and not "Hedonic perversion" Hedonik is the name of the brand.

Absolutely beautiful. Addictive, sexy, pleasant... this is everything! Definitely in my top list.
