Filippo Sorcinelli LAVS Extrait de Parfum 100ml

A masterful incantation of sacred smoke, LAVS opens with a spicy top of black pepper, crisp cardamom and luminous jasmine, instantly conjuring the alchemical fire of an ancient atelier. The heart deepens into an amber rich accord of elemi, resinous labdanum, warm cloves and aromatic coriander, a reverent cascade that recalls the veil of incense that blankets the Vesti Sacre workshop. The dry‑down settles on a forest‑toned base of opoponax, moss‑kissed oak, smoky rosewood, golden amber and velvety tonka bean, leaving a lingering, opulent trail that endures 10‑12 hours with a confident projection.

Fragrance family: Oriental‑spicy incense. Season: Autumn to winter evenings. Occasion: Art‑gallery openings, contemplative soirées, luxurious private gatherings.

The Spirit of the Sacred: The World’s Most Renowned Incense

LAVS (Latin for "praise") is the definitive masterpiece of Filippo Sorcinelli. It was born from the Laboratorio Atelier Vesti Sacre, the workshop that creates sacred vestments for the Popes. This fragrance was originally designed to scent the fabrics delivered to the Vatican, embodying the very essence of spiritual mysticism and architectural grandeur.

The fragrance is a complex, cold, and ethereal incense. It opens with an aromatic burst of black pepper and cardamom, creating a sharp, clean entry. The heart unfolds into a deep, resinous symphony of elemi and labdanum, reminiscent of ancient cathedrals and flickering candles. The base provides a grounding warmth with opoponax, amber, and oakmoss, resulting in a scent that is both meditative and profoundly sophisticated.
