Encounters Extrait De Parfum

Encounters Extrait De Parfum by Francesca Bianchi is listed here as a fragrance. At extrait strength it carries the heaviest oil load of the family, so it sits close to the skin and outlasts the lighter versions — a dab does the work of several sprays. A spray on clothing or in the hair lasts longer than one on skin, though it can shift the balance of the scent and mark delicate fabrics. A discounted listing is only a saving if it is the same size and edition as the one beside it. Smaller bottles are easier to finish while the juice is fresh; a large one earns its keep only if this is a scent you wear daily. The best deal and the cheapest sticker price are not always the same listing once delivery is counted.
