Details on Filippo Sorcinelli LAVS

LAVS (Latin for 'praise') is the first fragrance from Filippo Sorcinelli's UNUM collection, originally created as a room fragrance for the L.A.V.S. atelier (Laboratorio Atelier Vesti Sacre), which produces sacred vestments for the Vatican, including those for Popes Benedict XVI and Francis. This extrait de parfum represents the essence of Catholic liturgical atmosphere.

How does Filippo Sorcinelli LAVS smell?

A masterful blend of liturgical incense and spices, LAVS opens with black pepper and cardamom, leading to a heart of elemi resin and labdanum. The composition evolves into a deep base of opoponax, amber, and oakmoss, creating a sophisticated sacred atmosphere reminiscent of ancient cathedrals and religious ceremonies.

Spicy priest

I really love incense smells, so of course i was going to test this one. It's a little bit spicy like Terror&Magnificence, but not nearly as ancient and evil; rather mild and faintly soapy and develops into a slightly spicy frankincense scent. I won't call it bland in itself, but it'd be too bland for me to justify buying the full bottle.

Incense through and through

I recently discovered incense scents and dove head first into the rabbit hole. I was recommended this fragrance and wow I love it! I dont get much of a smokey feel from this at all but the sacred Catholic incense is incredibly strong and weirdly fresh for me. Im not a religious person so I dont have that connection to the scent but wow it smells amazing! It easily lasts 10+ hours on my skin.

Old church

It smells exactly like walking into an old church. The incense inside is unmistakable.
