When amethyst turns to dust
Sorcinelli masters the witchcraft storytelling to perfection. I can’t get this out of my head — yes, that’s exactly how amethyst smells!

There’s a marine sharpness here, the cut lines of the stone’s facets.

The color is violet, with the deep lightness of a violet flower dominating.

There’s also dust — probably the residue from polishing the stone. Over time, this scent turns dry and powdery, clinging close to the skin.

Against the light, the stone appears watery, with darker streaks running through the purple. Natural stones are rarely crystal clear.

The bottle is stunning, like everything in this Sorcinelli signature series. If only it lasted longer. This amethyst turns to dust far too quickly…

Not quite it
Edit (10/10/25) The more time goes by, the more the cascalone dominates over every other component. The result is an overly chemical, jarring scent that, together with the iris, borders on nauseating.
Review (09/25)
Given the remarkable inspiration behind this fragrance, and what it symbolizes, I will confine myself to purely technical impressions in the form of detached notes — the poetry has already been expressed by Sorcinelli.

The perfume presents itself as layered and almost “three-dimensional.” Iris and violet move in unison, trading places with elegance at different moments. A saline and iodic undercurrent runs consistently through the entire evolution.

Beneath (outside the olfactory pyramid) lies a base of jetsam woods and sandy nuances, giving structure and grounding. From time to time, an ink-like facet emerges, with echoes that recall territories close to Squid.

The overall temperature is cold, only slightly warmed by the velvety softness of violet. A metallic streak, intertwined with marine and sandy accords, decisively cuts through the creaminess and powderiness of iris, as well as the cosmetic aspect of violet.

Cascalone, softer than its sharper sibling Calone, is perceptible at this dosage yet unlikely to overwhelm most noses. Instead, it moistens the composition with a discreet, watery-fruity tone.

On a synesthetic level, the fragrance conjures the following images and concepts: twilight / neuston / mother-of-pearl / ultraviolet / Physalia physalis / abstract ocean / cosmogony.

I find the fragrance distinctive and finely attuned to its inspiration and intended message. Were it not for The Mariner’s Rhyme by Francesca Bianchi — which predates it and shares much of its DNA — I would welcome it with far greater enthusiasm.

A mediocre copy of Francesca's Rhyme. Tried to understand the idea, but there is nothing interesting or outstanding about this scent.

The fresh sea breeze smells of iris flowers. The sky is violet all the way to the horizon.

Dusty iris on synthetic sea breeze. Moss and violet leaves grow on driftwood. I'm searching for the leather.

A lot of synthetic sea breeze brings iris and violet leaf. In the water, a piece of driftwood with seaweed and moss clinging to it.

Filippo tailors the Kenzo Homme Indigo a fine yet very expressive garment. Everything on Max and Iris to the max.
