Very artistic


A very unusual scent.
The opening unmistakably evokes olives, but as if they were in brine, because a distinctly marine facet immediately comes through. Right after that first burst, mentholated and balsamic herbs emerge, also carrying a coastal and consistently aquatic feel. I can identify thyme, while Siberian pine gives it that expectorant touch. Overall, there’s a metallic, cold streak which, together with the marine base, suggests something rusty. The structure is in the style of aromatic marine scents like Acqua di Sale, but I find it very innovative and original because of the olives, whose fruity note lingers through the various stages of the fragrance. Later on, I smell strongly mineral notes, like wet rock. It really feels like a Mediterranean blend, a condensed experience of diving in the sea, salty skin, and centuries-old olive groves. From the early reactions I’ve heard, I don’t think it’s a well-liked fragrance—actually quite the opposite, perhaps due to the marine–brine–olive mix that also seems to have an iodized quality. Personally, I think it’s a fine artistic exercise, especially considering the inspiration, but it’s more of a smell than a perfume, and at times extremely difficult to wear.

Memories of Ferrara
There are fragrances that tell a story, and there are fragrances that become part of your own. Æ QUOR is firmly in the latter category for me. I purchased it exclusively from Boutique d’Essence during a visit to Ferrara, and while its inspiration is rooted in the seas and landscapes of Puglia, my own memory of this fragrance will always be tied to Ferrara.
Filippo Sorcinelli is known for his avant-garde, often spiritual creations, but Æ QUOR marks a striking departure. It is, at its heart, a marine fragrance—but nothing like the conventional aquatics most of us know. It feels bold, uncompromising, and refreshingly original. On first encounter, I’ll admit, I didn’t like it. It’s not a fragrance that flatters immediately, and a blind buy would be unwise. Yet something about it lingered in my mind. I found myself returning to the scent, curious and compelled, until I realized that its very distinctiveness was what made it unforgettable.
The fragrance is described as an evocation of the Ionian Sea meeting the Mediterranean, set against the parched earth of Puglia. To me, it speaks of the “infinite sea”—a landscape where saltwater breezes mingle with the stony architecture of the region and the dark, resinous scent of black olive trees. Though I have yet to visit Puglia (a trip postponed for two years now), Æ QUOR offers me a glimpse of it, wrapped at the same time in my memories of Ferrara. It is both a preview of a place I long to see, and a reminder of a place I’ve already lived.
Technically, Æ QUOR is superb. The longevity and sillage are exceptional, lasting more than 12 hours with ease. As an extrait, it commands presence without overstatement—two sprays are more than enough. The journey it takes is captivating: it opens metallic and mineralic, almost like the scent of coins in hand, before evolving into a marine fougère with depth and texture. The constant shifting layers ensure it never grows monotonous.
For my collection, Æ QUOR is exactly the kind of fragrance I hoped to discover: an exclusive piece with a clear artistic identity, something I could only have found at Boutique d’Essence. It is versatile enough to wear all year, yet complex enough to feel special every time. For me, this is one of the most unique and inspired works in Sorcinelli’s portfolio.

Wow, no, this one's a runner for me
I really am not a fan of rating a fragrance poorly. But unfortunately, Æ_Quor did not appeal to me at all and, especially at the beginning, triggers a certain nausea in me. This doesn’t happen very often with a perfume, but in this case, it was an extremely intense reaction from my body. The longevity on my skin is around 10 hours with a moderate sillage.

Since I always sniff out certain aromas, I can't really make sense of a top, heart, or base note here. The scent is musty, metallic, synthetic, aquatic, greenish, spicy, somewhat floral, and at times still a bit refreshing. I detect rancid olive oil, violet, iris, geranium, thyme, oakmoss, clove, allspice, rusty metal, as well as nutmeg.

Unfortunately, Æ_Quor is a candidate that slips into a certain flop list for me. What a shame! Nevertheless, I thank Konstantin for the sample.

I will say this is a unique odd fragrance that resembles no other fragrance in my 200 plus collection. This makes this fragrance a masterpiece

The opening smells like sharp metallic coins in the sea, transitioning to canned black olives.

Sorcinelli should leave the aquatic stuff alone. This one is nasty to me. Aquatic, spicy, oddly fresh, a few flowers are floating around somewhere.

Exciting, bizarre, unpleasant... A bronze statue of Ariel drifts through the sea, which is depicted here in a very unromantic way.*

A seascape painted in bright, unnatural neon colors. On strictly sterile, metallic scaffolding, the stiff linen has frozen in a salty-sweet state.

A special mix of green-metallic-cool notes that are also mineral-aquatic. Later, clean floral laundry. Very artificial.

The postcard from Taormina lies in the blazing summer sun. The top foil coating melts and suddenly the sea seems to be in motion.

Too much synthetic in this floral aquatic. My nasal mucosa burns, and a headache is starting to build in my forehead.
