Lost in Heaven depicts a dream sequence of an adult getting lost in paradise. It represents the complexity of feelings conveying both the longing for a place of uncontaminated innocence and unconditional love and the inevitable and controversial burden of life, made up of feelings of sin and guilt – real, or even worse, imaginary. This dichotomy, which sits at the back of anyone’s soul, is portrayed by a selection of the most angelic notes: beautiful Orange Flower and Jasmine absolutes, together with soft Heliotrope, smooth Sandalwood, sweet Tonka Bean and many other notes that I consider paradisiac.
The darker side is conveyed in a much more subtle way, not immediately detectable, via cumin and other spices, and a large selection of animalistic notes, including a reconstruction of Tonkin Musk. I thought of naming this perfume ‘Feeling Good’, as that is its purpose: to make you feel as you might in paradise, not a fake, imaginary one, but a real place where you finally cope with the darker side of you, with the heavy baggage that you carry with you. Fragile, sensual, emotional, though not technically a gourmand, it reminds me of a cake, rich in spices and with an orange blossom aroma: not haute patisserie but the archetypical smell of a cake made by Mommy, with only good things in it.

Meet the Maker
Francesca Bianchi
Her creative process is slow, deliberate, and deeply personal. Every perfume starts as an idea — sometimes a state of mind, sometimes an emotional vignette — that she gradually shapes through countless trials. Some formulas come together in months, others take years. Bianchi composes the original perfume concentrate in her Amsterdam laboratory, where she works alone, refining accords until they fully capture her intent. Once the formula is ready, production unfolds across Europe: the concentrate is sent to a small atelier in Grasse for mixing with alcohol, and the fragrance is matured, filtered, bottled, and packaged in Milan. This craft-driven, hands-on process mirrors her philosophy: authenticity over speed, artistry over mass production.
Philosophically, Bianchi treats perfume as an emotional language. She is less concerned with trends or conventional “wearability” than with creating fragrances that provoke feeling. Many of her compositions explore intimacy, vulnerability, sensuality, and nostalgia. She uses both natural materials, which lend complexity and depth, and synthetics, which offer effects nature cannot provide. For her, the choice is never ideological — only expressive. The result is a signature style that is rich, immersive, often animalic, and unmistakably human.
Since launching her house in 2016, Francesca Bianchi has earned a devoted following among niche fragrance lovers. Her perfumes are known for their intensity and evocative storytelling, appealing to those who see scent as an art form rather than an accessory. Early creations such as The Dark Side, Angel’s Dust, and Sex and the Sea helped define her aesthetic: bold yet nuanced, intimate yet expansive. Collectors often describe her work as atmospheric and emotionally charged — the kind of perfume that wears like a narrative rather than a simple blend of notes.
Despite the sensuality and drama of her fragrances, Bianchi maintains a thoughtful approach to ethics and sustainability. She avoids using animal-derived materials such as natural musk or civet, preferring synthetic alternatives that offer similar effects without ethical compromise. She partners with raw-material suppliers who prioritise responsible harvesting and safe working conditions, and she designs her packaging to minimise waste, using recyclable materials and avoiding unnecessary plastic. This balance of luxury and responsibility is central to her vision: a perfume can be indulgent without being careless.
Today, Francesca Bianchi stands as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary niche perfumery. Her work resonates because it feels honest — rooted in personal expression rather than market formulas. For those drawn to fragrance as a form of art, her perfumes offer depth, complexity, and emotional truth. They are not merely scents to wear, but experiences to inhabit, each one revealing something intimate about the maker and, perhaps, the wearer too.
