UNSPOKEN MUSK - FRANCESCA BIANCHI

Accords : Musk, tonka bean, iris butter
Humeur : Sexy, soft, and intense at the same time, flirtation

Unspoken Musk is my personal musk, and on the olfactory map, it is located in a region closer to Humanity and Sensuality.
It's an emotional musk, as it almost generates a physical reaction when you experience your deepest emotions.
Soft, velvety, persuasive, salty, floral, human; innocent and sinful at the same time, musk represents the dichotomy that defines the human being.

Perhaps boldly, I wanted to venture into an even more dangerous territory than the pure expression of a personal instance translated into perfume, that is to say, to offer my own interpretation of the "raw materials" - the building blocks of a perfume composition as well as the crucial pillars of the history of perfumery.

The result of this adventure will certainly be ephemeral, as my positions and ideas on certain raw materials are multiple and changeable over time.
These interpretations should certainly not be considered as a realistic reconstruction, but rather as the result of a transient artistic vision.
In the myriad of possible meanings, I wanted, with Unspoken Musk, to define what Musk evokes in me.
I did not seek the realistic rendering of natural musk, from where the inspiration comes.
Moreover, if natural musks cannot be used in perfumery, the varieties of synthetic musks encompass the most diverse olfactory categories.
Des "clean" musks in the sense of "laundry" (which do not awaken any artistic imagination in me, although pleasant in their simple functional use) to "dirty" musks that reach interesting interpretative excesses, these two extremes define a very broad "map of musks," where anything is possible.

Unspoken Musk is the fruit of my imagination: although it is undoubtedly inspired by natural musk, it is enriched by the layering of memories, suggestions, and readings about this mythical ingredient, which has intoxicated human beings for centuries.

And by developing this fantasy, its symbolic character has strengthened in my mind: Humanity, gentleness, intensity, passion.

The perfumes are as sweet as the music of pipes and strings,
as pure as the bare flesh of children, as full of peace
as the great green meadows - and there are others, having the whole
The corrupted pride of the omnipresence of infinite things,
Like incense, musk, myrrh, and ambergris,
Who shout the ecstasy of the body and the soul.
Charles Baudelaire, Correspondences
