AMBROSIVS - FILIPPO SORCINELLI

AMBROSIVS - FILIPPO SORCINELLI

The name clearly refers to Milan and its bishop and patron saint Ambrose, one of the most important figures of the 4th-century Church.

The fragrance evokes the liturgies and processions of December 7th, a public holiday when the metropolis comes to a halt in honor of Saint Ambrose. Its complex and expressive scent highlights precious materials such as incense, tonka bean, elemi, mugwort, and birch, all framed by smoky and smoldering notes.

The bottle, crafted from a precious fabric, represents the silhouette of the medieval Ambrosian basilica. The cap is covered with the cope, the sacred robe worn by the bishop during processions. The mantle, made of silver brocade from the archives of Filippo Sorcinelli's LAVS workshop, is fastened by a golden metal rosette adorned with an onyx bead.
