Beschreibung
Opus 1144 is an olfactory tribute to the birth of Gothic architecture, inspired by the laying of the first stone of the Basilica of Saint-Denis in 1144, an event that marked the beginning of a revolutionary artistic and spiritual movement. Created by Filippo Sorcinelli, the fragrance seeks to translate the atmosphere of soaring vaults, filtered light, and sacred silence into scent. It evokes the majesty of ancient cathedrals where stone, faith, and artistry unite to create spaces that inspire wonder. Rich in symbolism, Opus 1144 celebrates the enduring beauty of Gothic culture through a refined and contemplative olfactory composition.
The fragrance opens with an enveloping accord of white musk, vanilla, sandalwood, ambergris, and leather, creating a warm and elegant introduction that feels both comforting and monumental. At its heart, benzoin, Cashmerwood, orchid, and iris add depth and sophistication, blending resinous richness with floral refinement. The composition settles upon a luminous foundation of lemon, mandarin, jasmine, and elemi, bringing brightness and spiritual radiance to the darker, richer facets above. This contrast between light and shadow reflects the essence of Gothic architecture itself. The result is a sophisticated unisex Extrait de Parfum that balances warmth, elegance, and contemplation, offering a timeless fragrance inspired by one of history’s most influential artistic achievements.
