Filippo Sorcinelli - Symphonie Passion - niche perfume
The smell that Filippo felt when he played the organ in Rouen, the same organ played several times by Marcel Dupré, who was a great and virtuoso composer who lived in the early 1900s. Filippo Sorcinelli has said that the fragrance captures the atmosphere he experienced while playing the organ in Rouen Cathedral, where Dupré himself once performed. Bright lemon, delicate peony, and refined vetiver come together to evoke the cool, light-filled interior of a cathedral. The fragrance is pure, contemplative, and perfectly balanced. It is not about incense or mysticism, but about a moment of profound concentration and inner peace a piece of music translated into the language of perfume.

Filippo Sorcinelli is an Italian artist, perfumer, organist, and the founder of the eponymous niche fragrance house. Born in the Marche region of Italy, he has pursued a career at the intersection of art, music, and spirituality from its very beginning. In 2001, he established the LAVS atelier, specializing in the creation of liturgical vestments and sacred objects. His work in this field has included collaborations with the Vatican, most notably the design of liturgical vestments for Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis.
His fascination with fragrance ultimately led him to create his own perfume house, which quickly earned recognition as one of the most respected names in the world of niche perfumery. His debut fragrance, LAVS, achieved iconic status for its remarkably authentic evocation of a cathedral's atmosphere, capturing the solemn beauty of incense-filled liturgical ceremonies.
Sorcinelli draws inspiration from architecture, music, religious symbolism, and the complexity of human emotion. His fragrances are celebrated for their artistic depth, originality, and fearless departure from conventional perfumery. Each creation is conceived as an immersive narrative or sensory experience, designed to evoke profound emotional resonance. Through his singular artistic vision, Filippo Sorcinelli has established himself as one of the most influential and distinctive figures in contemporary artistic perfumery.
