About
Opus 1144 by Filippo Sorcinelli is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. Opus 1144 was launched in 2015. Top notes are elemi, Bergamot, Mandarin Orange and Jasmine; middle notes are Iris, Cashmere Wood and Orchid; base notes are Vanilla, Benzoin, Ambergris, White Musk, Sandalwood and Leather. Opus 1144 celebrates Gothic, a very complex and diversified phenomenon, that concerns all aspects of artistic production.The official birth of Gothic is 1144 in France and then it spreads all over Europe, diversifying and adapting itself according to customs and traditions. The term was used at first by Giorgio Vasari to point the nordic, barbaric and capricious elements of Gothic.UNUM wants to consecrate it as a Renaissance, adding meanings and symbols to the olfactory range and making Opus 1144 unique and unrepeatable.From the bottom emerge White Musks and Grey amber, a light, lively and warm element rich in pheromones. It comes from Indian Ocean. It is a very rare amber, capable to fix the others olfactory pyramid components. Its grey color is connected to to the leaden sky of Normandy, the place where Gothic has roots.At the base, leather notes, vanilla, sandal and indian wood, that is a Spirit’s harmonies generator talk together and facilitate our openness to Spiritual growth. Indian woods leads us to Benzoin in Tears, from Sumatra, Indochina, whose thick, whitish resin is used almost like an inebriating sweet balsam.For the heart ‘s notes, Opus 1144 talks to the gothic atmospheres of Cashmere’s wood and its bright, smooth nature, tied to the malts, Iris and Orchid symphony.At the top of the olfactory pyramid, we find Elemi, the very rare resin whose silhouette stands against the Norman leaden sky and settle there with Jasmine, in order to dissipate any fears. Even higher into the spiritual symphony of Opus 1144, one can hear the Bergamot and Tangerine’s acutes crossing , that gives harmony to the whole spiritual composition. One can feel the scented grey, one can listen to the stone and to the intense but delicate Music.The disturbing charm of Gothic.
