Once Upon a Time is a gourmand, powdery and deeply emotional perfume that transforms childhood memories into a complex and comforting adult olfactory experience. Launched in 2025, this Extrait de Parfum of Francesca Bianchi is conceived as a real “emotion-generating machine”, built from collective and personal memories linked to comfort, tenderness and intimacy.
From the first application, the fragrance envelops the skin with a warm, nostalgic sweetness. The mandarin appears juicy and luminous, evoking the peel of freshly peeled citrus fruit, while the candied almonds brings a soft, lightly toasted facet reminiscent of Italian confetti and traditional sweets. This opening is gentle, but never childish: it is a sweetness designed for adult skin.
In the heart, the perfume becomes more tactile and enveloping. The candyfloss introduces an airy, comforting sensation, balanced by the musk, which brings depth and closeness. Unlike the more obvious gourmands, the sweetness here is tinged with a powdery, soft, almost textile character, reminiscent of flour on the skin or warm, familiar hands.
The background reveals the most distinctive character of the creation. The vanilla merges with the castoreum, The scent has a slightly dark, animalic dimension that transforms the perfume into something intimate, sensual and surprisingly sophisticated. This tension between innocence and maturity is the key to Once Upon a Time: a gourmand that is comforting without being naive.
Ideal for those looking for a different, emotional and deep gourmand scent. Perfect for cold climates, moments of introspection or for those who want a fragrance that embraces the skin like a cherished memory.

We prepare each order by hand, in good time and without haste. We like to think that whoever opens a Papaduk package feels the same way we do when we discover a new fragrance.
...And yes, we also leave you a handwritten note, because details matter.
If there is one thing we have learned, it is that a perfume is not chosen out of fashion or on impulse: it is chosen because it fits you, because it makes you feel something.
+ We know that choosing a perfume is not easy, but we don't want you to buy a perfume to leave it forgotten on a shelf (unless you are a collector, in which case we understand you perfectly well).
→ We want you to wear it, we want you to make it yours, we want it to accompany you, we want it to speak for you when you enter a place. And if it is a gift, we want it to leave a mark on whoever receives it.
Soon we will be able to send you a WeTransfer with the scent of our fragrances. But until technology surprises us with this marvel, we offer you the Papaduk Sample Pack! Try it before you commit yourself.
