Francesca Dell’Oro Parfum was born as an artistic olfactory laboratory. After years spent in haute couture, design and luxury, Francesca decided to treasure inspirations and experiences gathered to fulfil her dream: translate emotions and language of senses in unique and valuable perfumes, tell and share unforgettable stories with her olfactory creations.
For Francesca, perfume is a highly refined complement; it is the sublimation of a character, the distinguishing feature of her intimate image offered to others. The most valuable and intriguing perfumes become a blend of notes for always different harmonies. Desires, memories and dreams lose their untouchable nature to acquire liquid consistency and consecrate themselves on skin.
The Perfumes
All Francesca Dell’Oro Parfum fragrances are to be “interpreted”, elegant, unusual, and able to magnify the connection with one’s inner self. Perfumes, which with their sharp asperities or amazing sinuosity are offered almost naked to the wearer, to be first given and intimately taken and then, again, voiced and shared.
As in an endless mirror game, Francesca Dell’Oro’s perfumes lead back to a complex and multifaceted reality, now lighter and more frivolous, now provocative and dense, sometimes accommodating and romantic, sometimes contradictory and irreverent, but always bright and dripping “joe de vivre”.
Thus was born Ambrosine, the first fragrance by Francesca Dell’Oro Parfum, and then followed by White Plumage, Lullaby and Francine. Other three, Envoutant, Fleurdenya, Page 29, launched in 2015, added a new emphasis to a speech in constant evolution.
To give substances to dreams, Francesca uses only the best raw materials, the most notable and precious, collected all over the world and blended following the rules of the classic perfumery artistry but also adding a very delicate and personal venture of contemporary and glamour notes.
AMBROSINE
Like a perfumed hug, an enveloping and precious fragrance that glides over the skin and accompanies in caressing and privileged atmosphere. A secret and intimate world, feminine and reassuring, hushed by innocent and misty powdery notes of an unspoken and romantic sensuality, to embrace. This fragrance was born as a sophisticated architecture designed to modulate the colour of confidence and paint delicate flowering corners, reassuring and collected, but made bold by woody and spicy prospective. Warm and soft amber notes are held by a floral and sensual heart in which the jasmine absolute, violet, peony, and damask rose absolute prevail, creating a delicate and precious body. The spicy bottom accents give silky and shiny shades to the fragrance. Woody notes of patchouli, Atlas cedar wood and guaiac wood complete the scent.
Olfactive notes: orange zest, white flowers, white rose, violet, peony, sandalwood, amber, soft woods, tree moss.
Family: Oriental, Floral, Ambery.
WHITE PLUMAGE
An intimate fragrance, a scent full of memories of heart and thoughts that travel within the walls of an evocation dear to memory. Not a neutral place but a peaceful one: white-hot. White Plumage is the sublime impalpability of a feeling that emerges. The ephemeral boundary between the woody notes, white and precious, blends with ancient mystical scent resins creating a bond with one’s sensible Ego. Voluptuous enveloping opens this perfume with white flower and coffee accords; an embrace that later reveals an unusual rigor of intension, scaned to the rhythm of aloe, juniper and cedar of Virginia notes. The Mysore sandalwood, white musk and milky notes, enhance the sensuality of the “sillage” with modern traces that even though conferring sophisticated tones, maintain lightness. It’s an almost nostalgic perfume in which intangible roundness intertwine the transparencies of marble accents.
Olfactive notes: frankincense, juniper, white flowers, coffee beans, aloe wood, milk cream, soft woods, white musk
Family: Oriental, Woody, Musky
LULLABY
An idiom made of vitality and colour dedicated to a Bubble woman, bouncing and sparkling, a bit “Lolita” and a bit “it girl”, who expresses her personality in Technicolor. A carefree and sometimes mischievous fragrance that possesses all the nuances of “bon bon” accords. The sunniness of fruity tones is harmonized together with the sweetness of the exotic vanillas and the pulp of tropical coconut. The floral and bright heart reveals lush flowers as Tahitian gardenias and ylang evoking sugary and delicious atmospheres. The base encloses the penetrating enveloping of the davana oil, soft ambers and soft musks.
Olfactive notes: red apple, cocnut, hibiscus, tiaré, osmanthus, vanilla berries, orris, oak moss, amber.
Family: Fruity, Floral, Ambery
FRANCINE
The luxuriant Mediterranean resounds in classical woods that dominate the base of the fragrance. A little dream framed by the fresh, sharp and free notes of a trip in the countryside; an unexpected quietness that reveals daring and surprising aspects. Between land and sea, the cool shyness of an irreverent galbanum is mottled by floral and aromatic tones peek out.
Francine is an olfactory “modernist” creation that recalls the uncontaminated nature, sublimated by live and positive Hesperides accents, opposite to the roundness of amber and of a rich flowering heart. The evocative galbanum has the task of magnifying this green lush infusion, giving light and bright shades. Lentisque, rosemary and jasmine absolutes reveal the carnal and wild nature of the jus, while polite amber tones soften the base of the pyramid merging with traditional structured woods.
Olfactive notes: lemon, sparkling bergamot, galbanum, basil, lentisque, jasmine sambac, precious woods, musk and amber.
Family: Floral, Green, Ambery.
ENVOUTANT
The warmth of the eastern floral and fruity notes characterized by great emotional intensity, give growth to a rare and refined fragrance that makes every daily action unforgettable.
Compelling as a thrill through fingers, as a mysterious adventure, as the nature of things.
A sharp edged perfume, with a touch of glamour embedded in the eastern soul, to be looked “straight in the eye”, provided with a strong but soothing image that knows how to whisper the pleasure of excitement. Sumptuous saffron, coriander and davana open up the top notes with a scratchy and decided momentum. The jewel heart of the perfume encases a blend of rose, Sambac Jasmine and osmanthus absolutes. The sacredness of Oud Wood merges with Indonesian patchouli, vetiver from Haiti, precious amber and vanilla Bourbon, giving to the base of the fragrance a mysterious and intense energy.
Olfactive notes: saffron, davana, coriander, osmanthus, orange blossom, rose, Jasmine Sambac, Indonesian patchouli, vetiver, Oud wood, amber, Bourbon Vanilla, musk.

FLEURDENYA
A floral explosion Elegance and sublime conscious with a pale vintage shimmer. The evocation of an outstanding garden with endless prospects, an instantaneous time travel. A neo-romantic perfume in whose hearts echoes and intoxicating gardenia, tuberose, twilight jasmine and the lavish roundness of ylang ylang. In a single trail, the warm notes of musk and Siam benzoin enclosed in the sweetness of orange blossom and tiaré. The debut are the notes of Calabrian bergamot, precious rosewood – with its deep character – and the sunny narcissus.
A floral and bright sensuality built around the key ingredient of the fragrance, the gardenia, a flower that proclaims a modern while retro sweetness, in an accord with noble allure given by the variegated shades. Delicate reflections, like from another era, light up the base for a romantic and chic creature. Olfactory preciousness, rich bouquet, pure and precious, that creates a pleasing symphony.

PAGE 29
Like the sheet of a diary, like the page of a book, this perfume contains various suggestions. A perfume that is coloured of time, of shadow and light. The spiral of the leather backgrounds creating a moiré effect, iridescent and similar to silk brocades, moves its deep notes, full and magnificent. A floral infusion fascinating and dense. The opening notes give the fragrance all the generous opulence of the rosewood and the lightness of the Florentine Orris enriched by gentle tangerines and Capua’s bergamot. Floral and transparent bouquets triumph in the heart, embellished by the temper of a soft, sensual and romantic leather. Tonka bean, absolute of ciste and luxurious vanillas close the fragrance, creating the memory of a scent able to transform the rhythm of olfactory space.

The Bottle & Packaging
The creative studio Sonia Pedrazzini Design Atelier has designed a precious bottle-sculpture, faceted like a jewel. The glass – almost a crystal prism with pure net, asymmetric lines, which catch light and then spread it through refractions always new and surprising. It is produced by the historical French glass manufacturer Pochet et du Courval. The result is a double-faced gem: complex and sharp on the front, round and plain like a smooth stone on the back. A designed cap, shiny, compact, deeply black, seals the precious fragrances. The dynamic and elegant artworks of Tamara de Lempicka, prototype of the modern woman, cultured and emancipated, just like the brand creator, inspire the shape of the bottle. An iconic and rigorous bottle, but also charming and seductive, that blends retro allusions and postmodern deconstructionism. Classic and contemporary at the same time and in the same hand, this combination best represents the style of Francesca Dell’Oro today.
The box that guards the bottles is a luxurious and essential box set. The characteristic features of the packaging are the sense of brightness and vitality of colour obtained by high-quality paper – white and slightly embossed – and the wise variation of fourteen pantone colours that, besides creating accurate games graphics, help to identify the fragrances and define the corporate image of the brand. As to express the higher level of research and quality of Francesca Dell’Oro fragrances, it was chosen to give a lot of importance to every single communicative particular, from the trade show stands to the project of a coordinated image. In the brand’s philosophy, no details have to be neglected and so, after the brand set of forms, press kit, selling materials, special ceramic olfactory were designed and realized in Italy. They are white, facet and shiny, following the style of the bottle.
2015 was the year of the establishing on the market for Francesca Dell’Oro Parfum, especially on the foreign one, which enthusiastically welcome the proposes of the young Italian brand. Numerous were the event and the invites at perfumeries, concept stores and also academy, in Italy and abroad, and Francesca always participated to present her fragrances magic world.
