Chiesa d’Oro
Inspired by a Venetian basilica, warmer vanilla and tonka meet rose, jasmine, carnation and vetiver.
Perfumer: Filippo Sorcinelli
Chiesa d’Oro begins with the sacristy drawers of St Mark’s Basilica in Venice. Spices arriving by sea and rituals surrounded by golden mosaics form its creative setting. The extrait de parfum brings warmer sweetness and flowers together with vetiver’s drier, woody character.
Vanilla, tonka bean, vetiver, amber and musk form the subject; Damask rose, jasmine and carnation the counter-subject; bergamot the tail. Softer sweet amber meets carnation’s spicy floral expression alongside rose and jasmine, while vetiver and citrus help define the outline.
The composition suggests warmer sweetness with fuller flowers and a drier texture. Its cylindrical 100mL glass bottle carries the name within a finely decorated black-and-gold label. A large gold-coloured sculptural hand cap rises above it, with fingertips and a ring included in the detail.
