The sacred forest
The new range of Sorcinelli fragrances, consisting of 8 different fragrances with expansive large blessing hands as bottle lids. Some find the design bizarre, others find it fascinating, from tasteless to stylish. Everyone will have a subjective opinion here and the range is likely to be wide.

Memento - Latin, to remember.

The memory of living in the present, enjoying the moment, being aware of the fleeting nature of time.
Remembering the feelings burned into the soul, laughter, tears, happiness and sorrow. The soul constantly whispers the stories of the past.
Memory as a blessing to be aware of your value and the importance of your path.
Memory as a key to a lock to live your dreams, to heal wounds.
The memory as an invitation not to forget that trust must be greater than the suffering we sometimes experience makes us believe.

Eight fragrances inspired by famous places that represent the experience of faith and devotion to it. Sacristies, the side rooms in churches where priests and priestesses prepare for services and where all the objects needed for the service are kept. Often also the place of spiritual and mental preparation for what may follow.

Is it all marketing jargon? You can see it that way - but you don't have to.
Filippo Sorcinelli's life plan, complexity and versatility can be seen in his CV. An artist through and through. And isn't looking at artists through different eyes what shifts the perspective, makes new views possible, opens up new possibilities for thought? Exciting. What would life be without art? The creation of a perfume can also be art, far removed from commercial guidelines and market surveys. Interpretation and approach are up to the individual.

Sacristie des Arbres - the forest

A place full of wisdom and secrets. A place where nature seems to speak with its peace and beauty. Get in touch with the trees, listen to them and try to understand their silent lessons.

As is usually the case with Sorcinelli, the fragrance starts with an inverted olfactory pyramid. The mint, used quite defensively here, in combination with equally subtle pine initially provides an invigorating coniferous freshness and goes perfectly with the incense, whose restraint immediately leads to a very contemplative fragrance impression. This has a very calming, almost meditative and contemplative effect on me. I would already like to attest to the fact that Sorcinelli has perfectly captured the theme of the forest, with its scientifically proven positive effect on the soul. The fragrance has already completely taken me in, playing up and down the keyboard of my preferred scent preferences. Wonderful.

The first impression of the fragrance lingers for quite a long time, the green of the mint and pine gently recedes, the (coniferous) woody impression with subtle incense remains until the end. Thankfully, I can't detect the Damask rose at any time and I don't miss any offensive sweetness that would have done the fragrance any good.

However, this only changes as the fragrance progresses, when the interplay of ambrette (slightly musky, reminiscent of ambergris), benzoin (sweet, resinous, balsamic), amber (warm, woody) and vanilla creates a beguilingly smooth and attractive fragrance impression. The incense, Sorcinelli's preferred fragrance note, acts here as a bracket around all the other notes, holding them together and ensuring that the basic character of the fragrance shifts in a sweeter direction at best, but never deviates from the basic theme of coniferous wood, forest, contemplation and tranquillity.

Sacristie des Arbres completely convinced me, not only as a fragrance, but also in its advertised thematic reference to religious localization. For me, this is understandable.

How did Gerhard Richter, Germany's most popular painter, once answer the question of how he would interpret his painting? "I only paint. I leave the interpretation to others."

I'm happy to go along with that.
