Meringue-like white floral incense

Voix Humaine 8, inspired by an organ stop called Vox Humana that imitates a human voice, layers a very bare-bones incense accord with a host of creamy, sweet white flowers, chief among them orange blossom. I don't care much for the rather skeletal, modern Iso E Super incense accord here, but the chemical taste in my mouth recedes when the sugar, milky floral accords are drip fed into the composition. There's a very pleasant meringue-like airiness to the florals here, like rice grains puffed up to double their size in hot milk and sugar.

It's an interesting fragrance because it's basically a pared-down Buxton or Schoen-type incense exoskeleton layered with a sweet, sugar white floral like By Kilian Love. Ultimately, it turns a little too soapy and clean on me to enjoy fully but I appreciate the attempt to land a white floral incense without immediately calling to mind Chanel No. 22 or Passage d'Enfer.

Refuge in the Mediterranean church

Filippo Sorcinelli succeeds in creating the following olfactory impression with Voix Humaine 8. For me, this fragrance is a journey into the quiet, timeless moments of vacation, for example in Tuscany or Andalusia... those moments when you seek refuge from the heat in a small, cool Catholic church.
The scent of this perfume is reminiscent of the mysterious atmosphere of these small churches in the Mediterranean region. It is the scent of incense that permeates the old stonework, accompanied by a subtle, almost meditative resinous spice. But it is more than just incense: a warm, hearty note blends into the fragrance, almost like the feeling of wood that has absorbed the sun's rays from the south. This combination of sacredness and grounding is what makes the fragrance so special.

I find it particularly fascinating how Voix Humaine 8 is not just a church fragrance, but also captures the vibrancy of life around it. It is the spices of the Mediterranean markets, the freshness of bergamot that echo in the base, gentle but present. This creates a warm, sunny feeling that reminds me of relaxed and carefree vacation days.
I personally perceive the fragrance pyramid the other way around, namely first resinous citrus, then after about 10 minutes jasmine comes to the fore. This creates this typical indolic "urinal note" for a short period of time and you are very briefly in the station toilet of Frankfurt main station, but really only briefly. Soon, as if nothing had happened, you are back in a small church in a small village in Tuscany. In the base, it gets really warm and sweet again.
For me, this fragrance is not just a memory, but an invitation to immerse myself in these moments of peace and serenity again and again. Those who know the magic of such places will find Voix Humaine 8 to be a kind of spiritual perfume diary that they will never want to be without.
Nevertheless, it is not a fragrance that I would spray on often, but I find it really beautiful.

Unspeakably touching

I have a weakness for music and especially for beautiful voices. There are singers who I not only like to listen to, but I believe every word they convey with their lyrics. Among them are Martin Gore, Alexander Veljanov, but also Lajon Witherspoon and Corey Taylor, for example. Up to now I had hardly any contact with church music and therefore there are no experiences on my part, because I was always more interested in the genres, synthpop, new wave and metal.

A fragrance dedicated to the human singing voice must necessarily be exciting. Especially with this pyramid of scents, where Sorcinelli has simply turned everything upside down. A start with vanilla and bergamot in the base. You definitely don't have that every day
When spraying on, the vanilla welcomes you first. It is wonderfully soft and is accompanied from the beginning by smoky and also clean notes. First of all I think of Eau Duelle, with which the fragrance is also somewhat related. Because this fragrance also offers a concept of incense and vanilla. However, vanilla remains in the foreground from start to finish in Diptyque, while in Voix Humaine 8 it's only present in the top note. It is then gently pushed into the background by ambrette and frankincense, creating a woody-smoky impression. In the course of the fragrance becomes more and more woody with a sweetness that can only be perceived subliminally. Yes, I also have the association of products made of wood here. To think of musical instruments made of wood is obvious.

Unlike Unum LAVS and other scents by Sorcinelli, this one doesn't seem sacral to me at all. I am also not in a cold church when I perceive this fragrance. It is a fragrance that one can carry wonderfully for oneself, to go into oneself, to find peace. Rarely I have sniffed something as unexcited as Voix Humaine 8. Yes, this is a fragrance composition I would believe anything, just like my favourite singers. Because her voice is special and unspeakably touching. Special, but still portable. Striking and at the same time inconspicuous.

For those who think that fragrances like Eau Duelle or Memoirs of a Trespasser are too sweet, but like this direction, this Sorcinelli is the right one. In my opinion, it is wearable at any time and on any occasion. In terms of charisma, it is in the moderate range and should therefore not get on anyone's nerves. For me it is not a must-have, but one that is worth discovering.

Many thanks to Floyd for the sample. He smells just as wonderful as you described him in your statement.
