Do you want to know more about this perfume?
It opens with bergamot and black pepper, and right away a sharp mineral facet appears, which the brand associates with the strain in the eyes when the body asks for sleep and the mind does not give in. At the heart, narcotic flowers take center stage: ylang-ylang and jasmine, dense and luminous, with a dose of indole that gives them an animal, carnal nuance. As it dries down, that light darkens with sandalwood, cedar, patchouli, and cypriol, and tonka bean rounds out the base.
Insomnia is a floral woody extrait de parfum by Francesca Bianchi, launched in 2026 and signed by the perfumer herself. It comes from her years as a night creature, when she worked by day in another job and devoted the night to the brand’s first creations. The other reference is a smoky eye look in blue-black that she describes as glamorous insomnia.
The house presents it as a year-round fragrance, and its natural territory is the long hours: creative work at dawn, a conversation you don’t want to end, a dinner that goes on and on. Within Francesca Bianchi, it shares the dark woods of The Dark Side and the blend of flowers and woods of Angel's Dust.
