The délire 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 invitation is not to stop at that date, but TO UNLOCK THE TRUE ESSENCE TO THE WORLD.
Filippo Sorcinelli, known as the tailor of the popes, wanted to fix three main moments in the new extrait de parfum: THE TRIGGERING EVENT, the WATER ON THE STONES and the ESSENCE THAT REMAINS.
The Notre-Dame Cathedral is undoubtedly one of the best known and most visited sacred buildings in the world. Filippo had the privilege of being able to access places off-limits to tourism and be able to grasp unexpected images, smells and values.
BUT WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THE CATHEDRAL? We are immediately led to believe that it has only the strong smell of incense. Nothing more incomplete! The smell of Notre-Dame is not incense. TODAY IS THAT MOMENT OF SMOKE THAT AFFECTS HISTORY. It is also water that overflows from the stones, which descends to the sides of the organ. Today, it is a glimpse of the vaults that let the light in from the naked sky. It is the scent of uninterrupted life, of the unimpaired Soul, it is the Cross made of spouting gold. IT IS THE TRUTH THAT ADVANCES.
NOTRE-DAME 15.4.2019, the true essence, will be a small support to the Maitrise, the group of singers and musicians who guard the priceless heritage of the Cathedral’s Sacred Music. The proceeds from the sales will in fact be donated to the MUSIQUE SACRÉE ASSOCIATION, to help keep its business and mission going, currently outside their “home”.
