‘I created this composition as a 2022 end-of-the-year gift, to thank my business partners for the support given to our small brand. I produced a larger quantity (500 pieces), also thinking that many of our collectors would have liked it. I’ve always loved the iconic accord of Rose and Patchouli: from the beautiful Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady, to the seductive Agent Provocateur of the eponymous brand. Sticky Lips offers my personal interpretation of that combination, taking up the Patchouli base elaborated for Sticky Fingers: leathery, animalic, with a facet of tobacco and a hug of iris. To this one, I added a luscious and powdery rose accord, thanks to the addition of geranium and an increase in iris. – Francesca Bianchi
