The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Rosa Nigra by Filippo Sorcinelli was launched in 2015 as part of the brand's UNUM collection, a nod to its roots in artistic collaboration and olfactory tailoring. This unisex fragrance opens with the crispness of artemisia and anise, balancing the sweetness of peach and freesia before settling into a rich base of sandalwood, musk, cashmere wood, vanilla, and amber. The interplay between herbal freshness and warm, powdery notes creates a complex yet harmonious scent that feels both lasting and modern.

How to wear it

Apply Rosa Nigra to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The herbal top notes are bright but fade quickly, so focus on layering the warmth of the base notes. It reads best in cooler settings or during transitional weather, when its powdery musk and woody undertones shine.
