Insomnia

8.2

Francesca Bianchi · 2026

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Francesca Bianchi Insomnia is a unisex scent that leans toward nights out and evenings more than any one season, moving from a fresh, citrusy start into a sweet, floral and woody character. Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the sample behind those ratings is small. Voters recommend all four seasons about equally; it is picked most for nights out and evenings, and rarely for the office. It opens with mineral notes, black pepper and bergamot, which bring freshness and a light spice. In the heart, jasmine, ylang-ylang and a narcotic accord add a floral, creamy texture. The base of patchouli, cypriol, sandalwood, tonka bean and cedarwood settles into a woody, sweet and slightly powdery finish, with an animal tone in the background. Mazzolari Hartley and Anima Aromatics Bright Soul have a similar profile.

similimirage

6.6

Première Peau · 2025

Fresh · Green · Synthetic

Première Peau similimirage is a unisex perfume that pairs a fresh, green character with a spicy, smoky and leathery streak. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Leisure and evening wear get the most votes, with business and daily use close behind. These ratings come from small numbers of votes, so they are best read loosely. Thyme, pine and Dalmatian immortelle give it a green, spicy sharpness. Salty and mineral notes and sand keep it dry and airy, while resins and synthetic leather add a woody, smoky depth. Ambrette softens the whole a little.
