Nigra sum, sed formosa. I am black but beautiful

Inspired by the Assumption of the Virgin Mary her bodily ascension Rosa Nigra embodies an invisible rose, conjured without a single rose note. Filippo Sorcinelli, virtuoso organist and multidisciplinary artist, merges sacred art with perfumery: artemisia and anise open to a heart of juicy peach and creamy sandalwood, settling into a musky-vanilla base of celestial warmth. An olfactory paradox transcending materiality to touch the divine, like a haunting prayer.

The Alchemist of Senses
Still organist in Italian cathedrals, Sorcinelli infuses his creations with liturgical cadence. Rosa Nigra resonates like a Renaissance motet herbal austerity counterbalanced by heavenly softness, mirroring his quest for harmony between shadow and light. This unisex extrait, with moderate longevity (68h), captivates both novices through its wearability and connoisseurs through its conceptual boldness an ode to mysterious beauty echoing the biblical Nigra sum, sed formosa[^2][^6][^3].
