Description
Filippo Sorcinelli Chiesa D’Oro (Extrait de Parfum) is inspired by the drawers of the sacristy of the Basilica of San Marco in Venice. Spicy, oriental, a real bubbling spicy floral perfume at its best. After a very fresh opening of bergamot, the perfume is almost immediately filled with a spicy floral bouquet: a trio of Damask rose, carnation and jasmine. This floral trilogy accompanies the perfume throughout its entire duration, only coming to rest on a very soft vanilla, ambery base lined with musk at the drydown.
Filippo Sorcinelli Chiesa D’Oro Extrait de Parfum is an almost oriental fragrance, reminiscent of spices (Latin “species”: special, precious commodity) that have come to the lagoon city by sea. In Venice, the spice makers experiment with these ingredients, mixing and grinding them and then selling them in small sachets called ‘Venetian bags’. Thanks to this, Venice and the world can no longer exist without spices, which are not always used to flavour food, but often to add a festive and enriching touch to the ceremonies in the cathedral with the golden mosaics.

“A drawer contains a wish.
shakes at the sight,
it smells of history,
it holds tears, Beauty and memory.”
MEMENTO, from the Latin “remember”.
The priest pronounces it shortly before celebrating the rite of the Mass inside the Sacresty, an environment within the church used not only for its preparation in view of the celebration of the mass, but also storage for storing liturgical vestments, for sacred objects, relics.
Eight smells that describe ancient chests full of mystery and wonder, offering answers and comfort to those who seek the truth in their path.
