slutty nun chypre laundry musk

If Heinrich Lossow's painting "The Sin" got a modern perfume brief, but plot twist - the nun is doing laundry, and instead of a garden variety horny priest, she's being visited by a biblically accurate angel, all burning eyes and razor wings and divine perversity. It's giving Clovis Trouille's ecstatic scandalous nuns but make it fresh linens and benediction. A slutty nun chypre laundry musk that somehow makes perfect sense. Sacred and profane, bleached and debauched.

If archangels have a smell, i imagine this is how they smell. Basilica di Assisi is amazing and beyond this realm. It does not smell churchy, it smells higher than the church, if this makes any sense. Archangel Michael smells like this masterpiece, in my imagination.
The longevity is very good but the projection is medium. Nevermind the projection, it wear it only to feel myself blessed by the angels.

Warmest night at the church garden

Garden around the Assisi church. An August sunset—soft, comforting. You sit in stillness, the hecticness of life fading far away.

The green here isn’t sharp or fresh; it’s mellow, almost grassy—a surprise from Sorcinelli. Fulfilling, rich, intelligent.

On skin, it turns sweeter over time: powdery frankincense, dates, and resinous warmth.

Perhaps it’s already past midnight.

It's an evening at a church garden, but I am allergic to flowers there :D

Seriously, this made me sneeze. The opening is bitter, green, and hesperidic to the point of tickling the insides of my nose. Dried fruit is shy and comes through slowly and later. It also smells like an old wooden church bench in the dry-down. I keep trying to pinpoint what is it exactly about this scent that prevents me from loving it (because it is objectively well-done and unique)... It smells a little stale for some reason, and that's what is putting me off a bit.

An Exciting Transformation

Admittedly, at first I was rather unimpressed by "Basilica di Assisi | Filippo Sorcinelli." But over time, the scent became more beautiful and pleasant. The longevity on my skin is about 12 hours with a rather moderate sillage.

The top note starts off very green and herbal with aromas of violet leaves, ivy, and fig leaves. Then, citrusy notes of bergamot and lemon peels emerge. The heart note shifts towards a sweet, fruity, and balsamic direction. Here, I detect raisins, dried plums, rose geraniums, flower honey, as well as labdanum. The base has a resinous, oriental-spicy, woody, and slightly smoky scent. I recognize amber, benzoin, vanilla, frankincense, styrax, tonka beans, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and myrrh.

In the end, I was relieved at how beautifully Basilica di Assisi has developed. I thank Konstantin for the sample.
