Filippo Sorcinelli Notre Dame notte di Natale

Filippo Sorcinelli Notre Dame notte di Natale opens on the dry polish of Virginia cedar, then lets orange blossom, chocolate, Alaska cedar and cinnamon soften the grain before settling into tonka bean, resinous incense and amber.

Profile: Woody incense / spicy gourmand.

Notes: Virginia cedar; orange blossom, chocolate note, Alaska cedar, cinnamon; tonka bean, resinoid incense, amber.

Evolution: dry Virginia cedar in cool resinous air → orange blossom and chocolate warm the wood with cinnamon → tonka, incense and amber settle into a glowing resin depth.

Best for: For a reserved, observant person whose style is a wool coat, worn leather and a few deliberate details rather than polished minimalism. It may feel too dense and resinous for anyone seeking airy, transparent woods.

Origin: Italy.
