Filippo Sorcinelli

Filippo Sorcinelli is an Italian multidisciplinary artist and perfumer. Born in Mondolfo, Italy, he began his artistic journey as an organist in cathedrals at age 13. In 2001, he founded LAVS, a haute couture atelier for ecclesiastical vestments, designing for Popes Benedict XVI and Francis. In 2013, Sorcinelli co-founded UNUM, a niche perfume brand inspired by Gothic architecture, sacred art, and music. His most famous fragrance, LAVS, originally created as a textile spray for Vatican vestments, captures the essence of incense and mythical roses. Sorcinelli's perfumes are known for their deep, emotive qualities, often exploring themes of spirituality, art, and human experience. His artistic approach combines avant-garde concepts with classical influences, resulting in unique and evocative fragrances. Sorcinelli's work extends beyond perfumery to photography, graphic design, and music, making him a true Renaissance artist in the contemporary fragrance world.
