In a Post-Apocalyptic world, a survivor of a sophisticated and refined civilisation is wearing a shimmering, tailor-made dress walking through a smoky, obscure place. The contraposition between Beauty and Terror is expressed by The Tyger by W Blake: the animal is incredibly charming and seducing, yet dark, terrible and dramatic. The perfume is the result of this striking and sublime combination, creating a unique, mesmerizing atmosphere.

The making of Tyger Tyger
The title is the incipit of a masterpiece of poetry, The Tyger by William Blake.
“Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”
In this composition I have been searching for the perfect balance between two opposite elements, and the expression of their clashing contraposition.
I had in mind a Post-Apocalyptic condition, where traces of a highly sophisticated and refined civilisation survived in the dark and fearful condition of a collapsed and destructured world.
Blake’s Tyger embodies both qualities I wanted to depict: sublime and irresistibly attractive from one side and terrible and scary from the other one.
The ‘fearful symmetry’ – a character attributed to the tiger by W Blake – aptly represent this opposition of beautiful perfection and terror.
The perfume is built around an accord of narcotic white flowers with sweet-fruity facets, which includes also an absolute of Tuberose – like a prima donna, the protagonist of a dramatic piece, she’s the finest example of a refined civilization of a bygone world; in opposition to that, the base notes present different kind of woods, with some burnt and leathery qualities, referring to a post-apocalyptic scenario of destruction, mystery and darkness.
The result of these parts – which wouldn’t work individually – is a clashing, sparkling fragrance which gives me an exciting emotion of highly dramatic sophistication – the kind of contrasted sentiment that anything attractive arouses in me.

I took a leap of faith and blind bought this perfume, and I’m glad I did. I can’t work out all the notes I’m smelling, but I know I like the overall effect, particularly in the dry down. The lasting power was good, and I enjoyed getting lovely little wafts throughout the day. So far only worn once, but definitely looking forward to doing so again, and exploring more of these intriguing perfumes! Many thanks, Francesca ☺

I’ve liked everything that Ms Bianchi has made, I’ve more than liked several but Tyger Tyger blows them all away imo. I’m from another time, when chypres were real and everywhere, and women wore more than marshmallow scented fragrances so 4/5 (at least) of my ridiculously large lifetime perfume collection is pre 1998. I just rarely find many modern scents that compare to what I’ve known; the ones that do come close tend to be outrageously priced for what they are. Everything from FB is so well composed and you don’t need to know much to know the artist who has made these truly loves perfume and uses quality ingredients. Tyger Tyger is soft and yet sharp clawed all at once. I find it to be a very intimate, come closer scent. Exquisitely non-linear. And please don’t take my comparison to great vintages as equating anything dusty or antique smelling (or to use one of my least favorite descriptive terms ‘old lady’) Both my dear husband and my blind adult son, who are not easily impressed after so many years of living with me, have complimented and commented on it every time I’ve worn it. I’ve seen a few reviews calling it very bold or so on which I can’t agree with; it has appropriate sillage (and old skool trick, put some in a small splash vial and dab the neck, decollete, insides of wrists for yourself and anyone who might be extra close (◠‿◕) The longevity seems very good. I feel comfortable wearing it in pretty much any situation I might choose. I love it, I am so pleased to have it in The Cave of Wonders on one of the Favorites shelves – it absolutely belongs there.

I adore this. There is something very special, mysterious and intimate about Francesca Bianchi’ s perfumes. My all time favorite is Sticky Fingers but this is equally enchanting.

Beautiful scent! I find it embracingly warm and leather like. Just a bit dirty in the opening, but a perfect amount. It makes me feel strong, independent and feminine in the best way possible. But the fragrance Tyger Tyger is totally unisex.

Profumo dalle note originali e persistenti, l’atmosfera vintage che emana ha un non so che di misterioso e originale, femminile ma con carattere.

After listening to reviews on Francesca’s perfumes and seeing her passion in elaborating every fragance I knew that her dedication and huge passion in making fragances had to result in gorgeous and outstanding scents. That made me want to try “Tygar Tygar” and this became one of my favorites of the extracts of Francesca Bianchi. Its very long longevity really impressed me and what most made me love it were the continous bursts of the fragance that came to my nose. That made me feel as if I were in an extraordinary dream where I was surrounded by amazing notes that make me feel like a powerful yet unique human being part of a misterious world. Francesca, congrats! You knew how to mix everything in order not to only make a really great fragance but also to help others discover themselves and be just as the title: A complete Tygar.

A gorgeous peach scent, sexy yet somehow still wearable in any situation. Love it!

I don’t have words to describe this one other than it is pure heaven. It lighter than some of the other fragrances but lasts forever and the silage is great. 100% love!

Very nice perfume but not my style. Too intense. The quality of ingredients is high, it never degrades during the dry down.
bkschelinder (verified owner) –
I love this scent. I often struggle with peach in scents, but the peach in this is intoxicating. That first blast is so amazing. I get honey next and then a smoothe, soft leather. The leather is well done and, on me, is the major dry down scent with the peach and a sweet almond (the heliotrope?) floating in the background. So nice, I want to both bathe in and hoard it at the same time. Lasts about 8 hours on me.

Tyger Tyger for me smells ripe peaches and flowers, I love it. It is a ‘rich’ smell, I like how it transforms during the day or evening. Have tried it in different climate and weather, to my experience with high humidity it’s adorable. Very sensual smell for me, and good longevity

For me this fragrance is the ultimate confidence booster. By far my all time favorite perfume and an absolute must have, if you ask me.

I ordered a sample of Tyger Tyger and now want to buy a full bottle. It’s enticing, enveloping, and bright.

Honey, peach and flowery notes on a very nice woody drydown, the oud here is very wearable. This scent is really beautiful, it is dense, elegant, the vetiver and oakmoss make it more unisex and balanced

I had gotten a sample with my first Bianchi scent, The Black Knight, and now I want to buy a full bottle. This is truely a bright peach with some flowers, beautifully blended, amazing scent. May be a bit too feminine for some but I don’t feel that way, I’ll definietly buy a full bottle, beautyful fragrance.

This one is a special treat. On opening, it may seem light and inoffensive, but a few moments later the full depth of the fragrance is revealed. The base note is the leathery-animal-iris root accord typical of Francesca Bianchi, while the top notes develop light, airy aromas of white flowers (I detect jasmine) and a sweet accord centered around juicy peach. For me, this is a magnificent, seductive evening fragrance. Lovely creation. Could suit men and women.

Excellent!!!!!!!
Peaches and flowers swimming in honey, this is the beginning plus a light breeze.
Then the scent smoothly changes into a slightly leathery scent. Beautiful, combined with heliotrope flowers and sandalwood. At each stage, moss waits in the background and scratches at the door, but gently.

Another good showing from Lady Bianchi. I found it to be very different when compared to what usually draws me in. A unique trip this one is.
karinakozyreva (verified owner) –
It is surprisingly sweeter than I expected, but in a good way. It lasts long and gives you a bold vibe
Winifred Liu (verified owner) –
Lovely, fruity creation from Francesca. I remember someone describing the most prominent note as peach jam rather than a fresh peach, and I fully agree. But the sweetness is not overpowering, while the honey and white flowers serve to compliment the peachy notes rather than make it too heavy for wear. In cooler weather, the oakmoss notes develop more quickly, and combined with the patchouli really does give the impression of a lush, dense forest floor. The green notes are not bitter or medicinal at any point – they dry down to a succulent, almost fougere-like finish. Perfect for those who like their fruity perfumes…with an edge.

Francesca Bianchi’s Tyger Tyger begins with a rich, almost leathery intensity, as if stepping into a world of dense, fragrant woods. There’s an undeniable smoky element to the opening that hints at fire and darkness, drawing you into the heart of the scent. But as it unfolds, Tyger Tyger reveals its multifaceted nature. A sweet, creamy note of vanilla and the seductive warmth of amber start to rise to the surface, weaving together a tantalizing contrast with the deep, smoky woods and spices. This scent has entered my “must buy” list.

One of my favorites! Beautiful, jammy peach & honey on a bed of white florals. This is a showstopper, and the Name couldn‘t be more fitting!

unfortunately i didn’t like this perfume at all. I tried to like it but it just gave me such a bad headache of the immense smell. At first it was like ok. Sweet honey fragrance but after the cooldown it literally smelled like a church to me. Also my wife didn’t liked the perfume. I bought a tester after so many revieuws online but I just can’t love it. So for me this is a big no. Sorry Francesca.

A fragrance that feels like having an honey peach jam aura around you without being sickening, this is not a classic fruity fragrance, it feels like the peach is slowly burning revealing something ashy and woody. A fragrance that breaks codes but yet feels like a fearful symmetry
Jaana Narinen (verified owner) –
Lover of the fruity scents this is my “to go” scent. Gives me energy, joy and all the positive vibes. Yet do not mistaken to think Tyger Tyger to be a crowd pleaser, oh no! Tyger Tyger have an unique depth, soulful and real nature. Its sweetness is alluring, you just can’t get enough.
Love the Peach and Honey here with Leather. Very unique Scent. Thank You Francesca.
Love from North Scandinavia

I bought this blind. After so many samples of Francesca’s other perfumes, I was confident in her abilities to create works of art. And I was right in doing so.
This perfume is beautiful. It opens up jammy and slightly floral. Honeyed, molasses like, jam. Not overly sweet. It dries down wonderfully leathery, smoky, and sweet.
The Francesca Bianchi DNA is there, quite polarising, don’t believe people who say this is the most mainstreamingly wearable fragrance in her collection. It is truly magnificent.
