Chiudi Gli Occhi E Poi Vedi - 100ml

Chiudi Gli Occhi E Poi Vedi ("Close Your Eyes and Then See") is an evocative Extrait de Parfum that explores the fragile boundary between fear and perception. Created by Filippo Sorcinelli, the fragrance draws inspiration from coulrophobia—the fear of clowns—and the unsettling ambiguity that arises when appearances conceal true emotions. Inspired in part by Pennywise, the composition continues Sorcinelli’s exploration of fear as both a psychological and artistic experience. Rather than merely depicting darkness, the fragrance reflects on how beauty and art can transform anxiety, revealing deeper truths hidden beneath the surface of human perception.

The scent opens with an unusual blend of vetiver, cedarwood, sandalwood, amber, and oud, creating a rich and immersive introduction filled with depth and mystery. At its heart, artemisia, petitgrain, clary sage, and patchouli add aromatic complexity and tension, balancing herbal brightness with earthy shadows. The composition concludes with a surprising foundation of lemon, bergamot, lavender, and strawberry, introducing flashes of light and unexpected sweetness that contrast with the darker elements above. This interplay between luminosity and obscurity mirrors the fragrance’s central theme: not everything is as it seems. The result is a distinctive unisex extrait that transforms fear into contemplation, inviting introspection, imagination, and emotional discovery.
