Sometimes ...
Sometimes raven wings graze
like November days
Your retracted head,
swirl wafts of mist
into wild clouds,
whisper confusedly of intermediate worlds.
Then threads rise
of silver smoke
from your cup,
the first frost lies on the windows,
paints patterns
over mountains of fog.
Close your fingers around the cup! And dream mimosas,
until the sun's rays silently
melt the hoarfrost inside you.
Follow the glittering paths
of the dew pearls
on their way down,
and write a name
in the breath,
when the tidal bell
Your soul
makes it sound.

The Italian artist Filippo Sorcinelli is not only a perfumer and the Pope's tailor, but also a passionate organist. For the fragrances in his "Extrait de Musique" collection, he was accordingly inspired by the "Grand Orgue" in Notre Dame and not only chose the shape of the drawbar of an organ stop for the flacons, but also tried to synaesthetically reproduce the sound of the various stops in the fragrances. As far as I am concerned, he has definitely succeeded in realizing this vision in the case of Plein Jeu, because the fragrance really makes something inside me resonate - and once again I wonder whether Filippo Sorcinelli breathes incense, because he understands this raw material like no other and knows how to depict its facets in such an incomparable way.
In Plein Jeu, he specifically highlights the citrusy and pine-needle-like facets of incense. It may well be that pepper and ginger were used for this purpose, but I can't consciously perceive either, although I didn't need much imagination to believe in these notes when I read them in the pyramid.
The fragrance is very light and transparent from start to finish, almost ethereal, although an initial sharpness contrasts very attractively with the floral notes of jasmine and the powdery softness of mimosa. Dry, light woods - somewhat brittle, but never scratchy - play a game of hide-and-seek with my nose, appearing again and again in this picture, only to disappear again quietly and secretly. Ultimately, however, they build a bridge to mild, balsamic resins with a slightly salty note, to which vetiver and perhaps cetalox, which I can only assume and cannot smell out of the overall context, contribute a few glittering crystals.
Plein Jeu, with its soprano-like citrusy-balsamic incense composition, is a simple, pared-down fragrance. No trace of great drama or even sacred high mass, but simply delicate beauty, gentle contemplation, an uplifting feeling of clarity over which Plein Jeu's bell-like tones float. A gentle fragrance soul for days when calm and serenity are required, which the fragrance knows how to give away generously with a light hand.
