Vilhelm Parfumerie Faces of Francis Eau de Parfum is a spicy, woody journey through memories and imagination—a fragrance that embodies the artist’s creative inspiration. It’s an olfactory canvas painted with the warmth of Mediterranean landscapes, the vibrancy of Tangier’s markets, and the depth of distant, dreamlike places.
The scent opens with a luminous blend of aldehydes and saffron, capturing the electric energy of inspiration. The heart unveils grilled pistachio, juniper wood, and driftwood, evoking earthy textures and the sun-drenched essence of an untamed coastline. The base is deep and mysterious, where oud, ambergris, cypriol, vetiver, and fumed styrax weave a smoky, resinous trail—like the lingering echoes of an artist’s most vivid visions.

This is an intriguing one bought on a whim with a Liberty coin (voucher) as a treat. The pistachio note made me do it, but I sit in the fence about the saffron which tends to be the case in its eating too. BUT this strongly evokes med islands, both drifting on the ferry into the Greek idyll of Aegina with its pines and pistachios, as well as the mysterious sulphuric heights of Vulcano off the coast of Sicily. If it weren't for the travel nostalgia, I'm not sure I'd have cause to reach for it. Dry down is lactonic and cosy and won invited compliments. I may keep a hold of this small bottle for a nostalgic lift on autumn days.
this is so interesting!! the second I smelled it I was like "this reminds me of something..". and then I figured it out. This is literally black phantom by kilian in a bottle. It's like if black phantom and baccarat had a baby. Amazing
Don't get any pistachio though
The only fragrance that blew me away after trying 100 others, didn't even intend to buy any at that time. I think ladies would want to eat you up after they smell this on you. If I had to choose between Layton, Angels Share, or Naxos; this would be the one.
“Wow” was my first impression. The compelling thought of blending pistachios and saffron together was absolutely genius. If I haven’t purchased a full bottle of Tony iommi yesterday , this would’ve been the other choice for sure!
