Filippo Sorcinelli stands out as one of the most unique figures in contemporary perfumery. Born in Italy in 1975, his creative journey began not in a laboratory, but in the world of music. As a young organist in churches, he was deeply immersed in sacred spaces, sounds, and rituals—experiences that would later shape his artistic vision.

His early career focused on sacred craftsmanship. In 2001, he founded LAVS, a workshop dedicated to creating liturgical garments. His exceptional work led to collaborations with the Vatican, including garments worn by popes.

It was through the practice of scenting these garments that his interest in perfumery emerged. This eventually led to the creation of his first fragrance and the launch of the UNUM collection, which reflects his distinctive artistic identity.

With a background in both fine arts and sacred music, Sorcinelli brings a multidisciplinary approach to fragrance. His creations blend visual, auditory, and spiritual influences, resulting in perfumes that function more as artistic expressions than traditional scents.

Sorcinelli’s work is defined by its conceptual depth. He frequently uses materials such as incense, woods, and resins, evoking the atmosphere of sacred rituals. However, his focus goes beyond scent itself—each creation is designed to convey a story and evoke emotion.

Fragrances like Io non ho mani che mi accarezzino il volto explore themes of spiritual solitude through complex, layered compositions.

With But Not Today, he ventures into darker, more provocative territory, combining metallic and animalic notes with refined floral and leather accords to create a striking contrast.

In Opus 1144, he translates the essence of Gothic architecture into scent, blending powdery, warm, and woody elements into a rich and evocative composition.

For Sorcinelli, perfume is more than a pleasant aroma—it is an intellectual and artistic experience. His creations invite wearers to engage with deeper emotions and ideas, pushing the boundaries of contemporary perfumery.
