Faces of Francis is a 2023 Eau de Parfum by Vilhelm Parfumerie, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Its story places an artist in his studio, recalling a Mediterranean island and the colors and scents of Tangier. The fragrance brings that memory to life through [woody](/style/woody), [spicy](/style/spicy) and gently [gourmand](/style/gourmand) scents.

Bright [aldehydes](/note/aldehydes) and [saffron](/note/saffron) open the scent. [Grilled pistachio](/note/pistachio) adds a creamy, nutty touch, while [juniper wood](/note/cedarwood) and [driftwood](/note/dry-woods) keep it dry and woody. The base brings [oud](/note/oud), [ambergris](/note/ambergris), [cypriol](/note/cypriol), [vetiver](/note/vetiver) and [fumed styrax](/note/styrax). It feels lightly smoky rather than sugary.
