Description
Filippo Sorcinelli Pont. Max. (Extrait de Parfum) was inspired by the drawers in the sacristy of St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. The perfume opens nose tinglingly spicy with the powerful note of cedarwood. Jasmine wraps itself around myrrh and incense tendrils, permeating the perfume’s full length. The perfume rests on a wonderful amber base, bringing perfect harmony to this sacred fragrance.
Filippo Sorcinelli Pont. Max. is almost an “institutional” fragrance, symbolically evoking the Roman ceremonial order based on the tradition of the Roman Church, which is widespread throughout the world. Pont. Max. (Pontifex Maximus – Pontefice Massimo) is the bridge and the maker of the bridge, the highest priestly office dating back to the earliest days of Rome, held from the 5th century onwards by the Pope, Bishop of Rome.

“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.
