Dark Vanilla & Patchouli Tango
Filippo Sorcinelli: a man with an interesting background - from an organist at 13 years of age to a fashion designer for the popes and clerics, and now - perfumery. His creations have a dark and melancholic style, Rick Owens of perfumery - that’s how I call him.

His creations are like him: dark, mysterious and maybe a bit eclectic. Ennui noir is one of those scents that isn’t there to lift your spirits - it is there to grant you an olfactory journey to the dark and gloomy streets from a noir movie/game. The main dark-jazzy accord here is played by the trio of lavender, vanilla, and patchouli. All of them are of course “colorless” and dusty here. Almost no sweetness from vanilla and patchouli, but you can clearly smell them there.

Amazing moody perfume, not for everyday wear, but it’s a perfect fit if you want to put on a coat and wander off into the empty night streets, listening to some noir-y jazz bands like Bohren & der Club of Gore or Somewhere Off Jazz Street.

Eighteen and Nineteen
Well? Is there still time to read the commentary? Don't you have anything better to do? For example, make a noodle salad, which you then, to appear, drive all evening long, on your lap, in line 8?
Hello! It's the 31st, and every 31st you're obliged by law to be with a lot of people. You don't know that according to §18 Art.19 BGB, Mitvielenleutenzusammensein-Gesetz? Congratulations So are you, illegally, alone today? No matter, because if you have Unum - ennui_noir there, it will make your happiness complete.

Already his name promises party, party, cheerfulness (with yourself) ... so get out the confetti cannon and the firecrackers. Together with the XXL-Wonder Candles and Patchouli you have the fragrance pyramid.
But wait, maybe not quite. The sweet pain is delivered by the Helio-Vanilla (Hv) in the Element table at the bottom, in row 9, highly explosive, atomic, nuclear, and wonderful. Here and there reactionary with above mentioned patchouli. As always.

Because it is.
Because it always is.

With Patchouli you are lying in your arms with strange aromas and mixtures, Patchouli will do the trick, you know it, at Christmas you like chocolate, today smoky, poopy, strange; skinny, cozy, slightly human, no, very human as above; zero perfume, that and so you could be. Live.

So free yourself from all constraints and buy this fragrance.
Or I could buy the scent and share it. 1.75 per ml.
Who's in?
Representative poll, leave me a number in the comments there.

Oh yes, and Happy Nineteen!
Feel yourself all wrapped up in a warm, thick, wet camel hair blanket.

Good mood black
If one (s) then all niche secrets revealed, Parfumo discovered and clicked through hundreds of brands, one will also in the niche area quickly notice that between the standard niche labels (Creed, PdM,...), the "normal" niche labels and the artistically extravagant niche labels can be distinguished.
So today, we're going to talk about a very unconventional label from a very unconventional man. We are talking about Filippo Sorcinelli, the tailor of the Pope.
Filippo may seem a bit unorthodox to some, his particular appearance doesn't really remind you of the church. And yet he is a man of God, a fascinating personality with a lot of talent. Quasi "thank god" that he found a foothold in the niche fragrance world with his first fragrance "LAVS"!:)) Yes, you can smell like the Pope, and let me say one thing, he smells very good;)

but now to Ennui Noir, the fragrance that Filippo has dedicated to the "black" boredom:

What do we have here? I don't know. Anyway, it's dark, black, everything is black. Not only the beautiful bottle, but also the fragrance. Cedarwood combines with all sorts of dark, vanilla joins later. Quite nice, then. Nice, good-humoured black. Goes well with black too. Boring? No way! Almost too erotic for a Sorcinelli, very indecently attractive. Filippo shows how the fragrance works best: black leather boots, black chinos, a wide black cardigan and a black hat - you'll be noticed?

Irresistible at the tight dance...
The negative first:
With the polystyrene top (over the lid), the bottle is so high that it doesn't fit on my shelf. Consequently, this chic top is stored elsewhere.
The story of Filippo Sorcinelli reads "cool" (and can be read in short form, in the description of this brand, here on Parfumo). An artist through and through with a penchant for the extravagant.... I was able to get to know the brand in a small perfumery in Berlin. In addition to the ennui_noir described here, I also have particularly positive memories of the fragrance _Quando_rapita_in_estasi_. As only EN was available, this time there was only one perfume. I am a convinced offline buyer, and so I don't feel any attraction to pull my second favorite from the net...But it was immediately added to my hunting list and I will definitely hunt it down at some point...

EN first reminded me of the two Tauer hits Au Coeur du Désert & № 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain Eau de Toilette Intense. The difference here is obviously the (non-mauve) myrtle (for the Harry Potter fans among us). It immediately exudes an aura similar to eucalyptus and is initially herbaceous and fresh on the skin. But after a short time, this feeling fades and a dark woody note takes over. It is during this period that the parallels to № 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain Eau de Toilette Intense are at their strongest. But then the scent changes again. As with many oriental fragrances, a delicious sweetness appears, but without completely losing the woody notes. It stays like this for almost 8 hours! At the end, a hint of cedar remains and even accompanies me gently into the night (even after an evening shower).
Despite its longevity, EN is not a beast with an opulent aura. Always classy, always sublime and always pleasant, it can be worn every day and won't get on anyone's olfactory nerves in the office. If you're looking for a ladykiller, a panty-dropper or something similar, you'll have to attend a tight dance event...but then you'll certainly be irresistible.

Creme Noir de la Creme
As a fragrance aficionado, you eventually learn to wait a while before judging the scent until the initial fireworks have died down and the fragrance shows its true self (or second self) after the drydown. Ennui Noir starts with a somewhat too abstract and shrill patchouli/lavender precious metal (?!) note - which for me personally has nothing to do with night or black. At some point, however, it turns into a dark, creamy, slightly woody affair, which is very pleasant and beautiful and also lasts a very long time.
