Filippo Sorcinelli Notre-Dame 15.4.2019

Filippo Sorcinelli Notre-Dame 15.4.2019 builds its main subject from patchouli, vetiver, mosses, precious woods, tonka, amber and sandalwood. Lily-of-the-valley, geranium and ambrette move behind that dark structure before neroli, citrus, herbs, spices, iris, incense and galbanum send a sharp green light through the smoke.

Best for: Notre-Dame 15.4.2019 is for the contemplative aesthete who finds beauty in scorched timber, wet stone and light entering a damaged vault. It belongs to a cold rainy evening, an organ recital or a quiet gallery; the collision of smoke, moss, green herbs and pale flowers may feel too severe if you want comforting incense.

Origin: Italy.
