Filippo Sorcinelli Basilica di Assisi is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Filippo Sorcinelli. Basilica di Assisi opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain, and Incense, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Labdanum, and Dried Fruits, and dries down to a base of Amber, Tonka Bean, Benzoin, and Styrax. Filippo Sorcinelli's Basilica di Assisi carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive, challenging, and utterly unique, Basilica di Assisi is a scent that polarises opinion. It's either a masterpiece of sacred and profane contradiction or an unwearable 'old people' smell. Not for the faint-hearted.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its strong, complex character, make it less suitable for an office but well-suited for formal and date settings where it can be appreciated without being overwhelming. Some find it challenging for casual wear due to its intensity.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

An immediate punch of bright, fresh lemon and bergamot cuts through a wave of dry, earthy incense. This sharp opening swiftly mellows into a heart of rich patchouli and dried fruits, softened by a delicate rose. The journey concludes with a warm, enveloping base of amber, styrax, and benzoin, leaving a lasting impression of sophisticated, balsamic depth.
