The smell of the higher registers
The day flows light gray through the leaded glass windows onto the high pipes of the reed stops, like narrow beams of light in a sharp hatching. Their cool sound swirls the waves of incense above the mouths. Their bodies of tin let notes shine, the deeper labdanum keys become waves of bright overtones that waft through the old walls in clammy spices and hesperides to condense in patches of light on the cedar pews. The noteheads are resin pots with flags of pepper veils. Your eyes close over your fingers to breathe in the scent of their sounds.

The fact that the multi-talented Filippo Sorcinelli came into the world of fragrances through his training in sacred music and tailoring vestments for Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI is evident not least from his Unum series, which was originally designed to scent church vestments, and his Extrait de Musique series, which is dedicated to the various organ stops.
"Trompette 8" is dedicated to one of the oldest stops. This stop has a particularly clear and distinctive sound due to the pewter alloy of its high pipes (see also the picture I uploaded) and, as the name suggests, is intended to imitate a trumpet. In fact, the pyramid reads as if you want to play the keys from left to right, starting with the lower notes, sharply and clearly margined by the spices you slide your fingers to the higher notes.
The scale begins here with a spicy, light grey of black pepper, in whose clammy shimmer clear chili notes are perceptible, which makes the underlying labdanum appear more like a brownish coloration of old lead glass windows, the sweetness skillfully balanced. The incense is also bright and cool, dominating from start to finish, not least due to the citrusy elemi. The bergamot also plays an increasing role in this. The cedar is subtle, blue and cool and is noticeable in the base alongside the somewhat spicier pink pepper The overall effect is harmonious, cool, hesperidic and resinous, spicy and only subtly smoky. However, it does not have the penetrating power of a trumpet register, the fragrance remains rather moderate to close to the skin and only for a few hours, which I really appreciate.
