Filippo Sorcinelli: The Art of Transcendence
Filippo Sorcinelli is a visionary artist whose work transcends the boundaries of music, fragrance, and spirituality. Known for his role as an organist at sacred sites like Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and as the creator of the LAVS atelier, which has crafted liturgical garments for the Vatican, Sorcinelli brings a profound sense of reverence and artistry to all his creations. His fragrances are not just scents; they are olfactory masterpieces that explore themes of faith, memory, and human emotion. Each collection, from UNUM to Memento and Extrait de Musique, reflects his deep connection to sacred spaces, his commitment to authenticity, and his relentless pursuit of beauty in all its forms.
MEMENTO
From the Latin word meaning "remember." The priest pronounces it shortly before celebrating the rite of Mass inside the sacristy, a space within the church used not only for preparation for the celebration of the Mass but also for the storage of liturgical vestments, sacred objects, and relics.
This collection features fragrances that unveil places and treasures, each inspired by renowned locations around the world celebrated for their faith and devotion, such as Notre Dame de Paris, the Basilica of Assisi, and the Chiesa d’Oro (Saint Mark’s Basilica).
EXTRAIT DE MUSIQUE
Nothing already heard, only compositions with a strong (very strong) personality. The bottle, of a religious beauty, takes the form of a drawbar of the organ stop with its knob, a faithful reproduction of the knobs of the stops of the Grand Orgue of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. As for the names of the perfumes, they too have been inspired by the stops of the Great Organ. The "Extrait de Musique" collection aims to describe, through incense, the many sounds of the registers of the Great Organ of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
