... story

Where East meets West.

The fascinating point of contact between different cultures. The place where diversity produces a new language. Iconic materials from East and West - Oudh and Iris - blending into a new mysterious creature.

Intense, luxurious and mysterious: Encounters is the result of Francesca's wish to put together two different cultures, represented by two different materials: Iris and Oudh - for West and East. The sophisticated refinement of Iris butter, with its soft and mysterious powderiness, marries Oudh, a material born out of an infection of the Aquilaria trees, which then produces one of the most mesmerizing and complex odors of perfumery.
