About
Rosa Nigra by Filippo Sorcinelli is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. Rosa Nigra was launched in 2015. Top notes are Artemisia and Anise; middle notes are Peach, Freesia and Sandalwood; base notes are Musk, Cashmere Wood, Vanilla and Amber. Directly connected to Opus 1144 ‘ s extrait, Rosa Nigra talk about the scented stone of gothic buildings.At the base we find the most part of Opus 1144 harmonic structures : Cashmere Wood, Oriental, Vanilla, Musks, Sandal Wood that gives us well-being feelings and allow to reach our deepest thoughts, conveying spirit opening, warmth and comprehension. Sandal is the old religious and ceremonial culture plant of many different civilizations.Posa Nigra is the real mystic harmony between the balsamic sweetness of flowers and the intensity of fruited woods. Iris shades are in this perfume’s heart.The Pyramid get thinner and shows at its top a luminescent fantasy of Freesia, with a mild ritual scent and magic spiritual powers. We also perceive peach notes, old Oriental symbol of immortality, celebrated by painters poets and musicians. The Peach note at the olfactory pyramid’s top has a further symbolic value because of its many transcendent meanings. In Japan Peach is venerated as a protector against malefic forces. Peach also symbolizes renovation, rebirth, beauty, youth and purity. In Egypt Peach ‘s leaf is also symbol of silence. For the Buddhism, the peach is one of the three blessed fruits. For the Taoism the peach is the Life Tree. Together with the Phoenix, Peach is the Queen of Heaven‘s emblem. For the Christianity, Peach is redemption’s fruit, it often appears in Virgin and Child paintings.The fruit’s leaves tied to the petiole symbolizes the joyful combination of heart and speech virtues.The Rosa Nigra’s top has Absinthe‘s notes, it is food for Art and artists. Absinthe is also called Green Fairy, in harmonious contrast with the flamboyant sweetness of all the ingredients. Absinthe hides and seeks, its mystery is able to accord in a spiritual way the Rosa Nigra‘s olfactory architectures.At first, Rosa Nigra seems easy to read, on the contrary, with eyes closed it releases its whole complexity.
