Filippo Sorcinelli Perfumes - Sacred Art Meets Niche Fragrances
The Story of Filippo Sorcinelli - From Vatican to Perfumery
Filippo Sorcinelli is far more than just a perfumer - he's an artist who merges different art forms into unique olfactory experiences. His extraordinary journey began in 2001 with the founding of his atelier LAVS (L'Atelier Vesti Sacre), where he creates sacred vestments for the Vatican. This special connection to the Catholic Church continues to shape his fragrance creations today.
The first fragrance collection UNUM was launched in 2014 as a tribute to his atelier. What started as a room fragrance for his workshop evolved into one of the most fascinating niche fragrance lines of our time. Sorcinelli's background as an organist and his deep roots in Italian Catholic tradition flow into every one of his creations.
The brand's philosophy is based on the "unification of spirituality, art, and craftsmanship in a single, coherent expression." His fragrances aren't conventional perfumes but olfactory artworks that convey deep emotional and spiritual experiences. He draws inspiration from religious texts, classical music, Gothic art, and even cinematic masterpieces.
Particularly remarkable is Sorcinelli's multidisciplinary approach: as an organist, photographer, and tailor, he brings various artistic perspectives into his fragrance creations. This "contamination between the arts" makes his brand a unique presence in the niche fragrance world.
Filippo Sorcinelli Signature Collections and Extraordinary Fragrances
The UNUM collection forms the heart of Filippo Sorcinelli's work.
LAVS, the first fragrance in the series, embodies the essence of Catholic liturgy with a masterful blend of incense and spices. This complex fragrance opens with black pepper and cardamom, developing through elemi resin and labdanum to a deep base of opoponax, amber, and oakmoss.
But Not Today showcases Sorcinelli's unconventional side - inspired by "The Silence of the Lambs," he creates a challenging fragrance with metallic and animalic accords. This composition begins violently and metallically but develops into a complex narrative about dark love.
Quando rapita in estasi is a tribute to Maria Callas' interpretation of "Lucia di Lammermoor." The fragrance literally explodes with ecclesiastical incense and smoky fir balsam, accompanied by delicate lily of the valley. This intense composition embodies operatic passion in olfactory form.
The fragrances are exclusively offered as Extrait de Parfum, emphasizing their intensity and longevity. Each bottle is handcrafted and often features innovative closure mechanisms that make opening them a ritual experience. You can test these extraordinary compositions as samples before committing to a full bottle.
