Details

LAVS (Latin for 'praise') is the first fragrance from Filippo Sorcinelli's UNUM collection, originally created as a room fragrance for the L.A.V.S. atelier (Laboratorio Atelier Vesti Sacre), which produces sacred vestments for the Vatican, including those for Popes Benedict XVI and Francis. This extrait de parfum represents the essence of Catholic liturgical atmosphere.

Scent Description

A masterful blend of liturgical incense and spices, LAVS opens with black pepper and cardamom, leading to a heart of elemi resin and labdanum. The composition evolves into a deep base of opoponax, amber, and oakmoss, creating a sophisticated sacred atmosphere reminiscent of ancient cathedrals and religious ceremonies.

Sacred Smoke: The Pope's Signature Scent
LAVS stands as the fragrance community's benchmark for ecclesiastical incense perfumes, originally used to scent papal vestments before becoming a celebrated personal fragrance. This masterful composition captures the essence of ancient cathedrals with its sophisticated blend of cold stone atmosphere and burning resins. The interplay of spicy notes and sacred incense creates an authentic spiritual experience that perfume enthusiasts consistently praise for its artistry and authenticity. While some find its literal church association challenging for casual wear, LAVS's high-quality execution and historical significance make it a must-try for incense lovers and those seeking a truly transportive olfactory experience.
