Sex and the Sea by Francesca Bianchi is a bold, sensual fragrance that evokes an intimate atmosphere and represents the memory of a sensual encounter by the sea. A wild, sinful blend of warm, sun-kissed skin, coconut-scented sunscreen, fruity pineapple, the saltiness of the sea and the sand - ingredients that evoke an erotic date behind the dunes. The starting point was Francesca's teenage memories of her parents' house by the sea, and the smell of her own salty, warm skin when she spent time on the beach in the blazing sun - a scent she couldn't stop being mesmerised by.
Sex and the Sea opens chaotic, herbal, sweaty and bold, and in the drydown it settles like a warm and intimate veil over the skin. Prominent in the mix we find hints of overripe pineapple, coconut oil, vanilla sweetness, powdery iris, immortelle, and floral and tropical notes embedded in animalic accords of civet and salty ambergris. Controversial and challenging yet elegant, exciting and seductive.

Terrible smell. Never experienced anything like it. Don't know if there's something wrong with it. Contacted customer service who took it back to investigate if there's an issue with the scent.
Favorite perfume. It was easy to order and the delivery was also fast. I will definitely order again.
