The “dlire de voyage collection is enriched with the
second fragrance, dedicated and inspired by the terrible
event of the fire of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris,
which took place on April 15, 2019.
However, the exhortation is not to stop on that date,
but to open up the true Essence to the world.
In the new extrait de parfum Filippo Sorcinelli
(known as “the tailor of the popes) wanted to set
three main moments: the triggering event,
the wateron the stones and the Essence that remains.
Notre-Dame Cathedral is undoubtedly one of the most known
and visited sacred buildings in the world.
Filippo had the privilege of being able to access places
closed to tourism and to grasp unexpected images,
smells and virtues.
But what is the Essence of the Cathedral?
We are immediately led to believe that it has only
a strong smell of incense.
But nothing more incomplete!
The smell of Notre-Dame is not incense.
It is today that “moment of smoke that affects history.
It is also water that overflows from the stones, which flows down
the sides of the organ.
It is today the gash of the vaults that brings light
from the naked sky.
It is the smell of uninterrupted life, of the soul not affected,
it is a golden cross that spurts.
It is the Truth that advances.
Notre-Dame 15.4.2019, the true essence, will be a small support to the
Maitrise, the ensemble of singers and musicians who guard
the priceless heritage of the Sacred Music of the Cathedral.
The proceeds from sales will in fact be donated to the association
of “Musique Sacre, to help to continue its business and mission,
currently outside its own "home".
As always, to the packaging is given special attention:
the bottle cap is a burnt wood monolith, to evoke
the tragic moment of the fire, on which the name
of the fragrance is nailed.
At the opening, the characteristic four falling "wings"
painted and signed directly by Filippo Sorcinelli
with symbols, colors and stylistic elements
attributable to the Cathedral of Paris:
four real small "paintings", which lead back
to a single true and exclusive work of art.
