The smell in short
The first thing you smell is spicy notes and black pepper. The heart brings orris root and carnation. On the skin it settles into leather and castoreum. Overall it smells amber and leather.

Francesca Bianchi Under My Skin EDP in detail
Under My Skin EDP comes from Francesca Bianchi. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Francesca Bianchi perfumes worth knowing
The house has 21 perfumes here, led by Byzantine Amber unisex, Libertine Neroli unisex and Etruscan Water.
Under My Skin price per bottle size
The usual price in Europe is about €124. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Elizabeth Taylor Passion and Yves Saint Laurent Kouros but less than The Spirit Of Dubai Turath.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. The Spirit of Dubai Baz unisex spreads further.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall and winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
Under My Skin: day or night?
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. The Spirit of Dubai Baz unisex and Yves Saint Laurent Kouros last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like leather and castoreum are the part that stays longest on the skin.
