Filippo Sorcinelli Lux Visionaria

Filippo Sorcinelli Lux Visionaria layers incense, myrrh and saffron over soft woods, ambrette and white flowers, then darkens into smoky amber, patchouli and bitter artemisia.

Profile: Amber smoky / woody floral.

Notes: myrrh, incense, vanilla, patchouli, amber, saffron; precious woods, ambrette, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley; smoke, artemisia, ylang-ylang.

Evolution: myrrh and incense glow through dark vanilla → woods and white florals give the resin a soft inner light → smoke and artemisia leave a dry, nocturnal trail.

Best for: It may appeal to anyone who enjoys incense and myrrh interrupted by white flowers, smoke and bitter artemisia. The resinous-smoky contrast is complex enough to merit a skin test.

Origin: Italy.
