... story

Dark and obscure, shimmering with gold, dramatic and decadent:Byzantine Amber is Francesca's interpretation of the ambery accord. The perfume opens with cinnamon and the pulpiness of geranium before it develops into an ambery base with a dark, animal and mineral facet.

Byzantine Amber is an intense and decadent perfume, like a great civilization in the final phase of its splendour. Salome by Gustave Moreau is a painting that can evoke the splendour and drama of this olfactory work in images.

The beautiful mosaics of the Byzantine civilization, such as those of Ravenna, have gleaming gold tesserae which are imperfect for being worn out over time. This sense of theatrical and luminous splendour accompanied by a dark and obscure side inspired Byzantine Amber.
