Now, before you read this review here, let me preface this by saying, that I’m not a professional reviewer nor that my mother tongue is English (please keep this in mind, I try my best peeps).In the first moments of THE BLACK KNIGHT you will get the Francesca leathery suede note which is quite similar to the leather note in THE LOVER’S TALE, but this time – it is different. Because in the background one can smell the vetiver waiting for attack. The vetiver is not an earthy one, rather fresh and green. And then you have the orris, which sweetens up the composition, makes it more airy, light.After a while the leather/suede note goes in the background. But therefore it is now the hour of the vetiver. And hours it is… on a little side note: typical Bianchi power, one tiny spritz and I’m good to go for the whole day. But now back to the vetiver – it is green, fresh and now it kinda starts to get earthy. The leather died down, but it didn’t say goodbye, it is still here (actually it never says goodbye, until the fragrance itself winks its last rounds). And it is beautiful. Now, in my opinion, now it’s the time for THE BLACK KNIGHT to shine. But does he shine? Yes, because I left one note out: the orris. At this stage of the perfume, it adds again something floral, sweet (FYI: not cloying sweet – I hate sugary smells), airy and beautiful to the fragrance.All in all it is a must-buy for me. I really encourage everyone out there to get your hands on a sample of THE BLACK KNIGHT.
