Filippo Sorcinelli cruising-area is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021. cruising-area opens with Smoke, Spicy Notes, and Clove, settles into a heart of Amyris, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Gurjun Balsam, Cedar, and Guaiac Wood. Filippo Sorcinelli's cruising-area carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a truly divisive scent. For some, it's a masterpiece of dark, industrial artistry; for others, it's a mouldy nightmare. Expect a challenging, deeply atmospheric experience that certainly isn't for everyone.

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.

About

Cruising-area opens with a bold, smoky spice, hinting at clove and something medicinal, almost like camphor. This quickly gives way to a damp, earthy heart of patchouli and vetiver, evoking wet wood and forgotten corners. As it settles, a dark, resinous woody base of guaiac wood and gurjun balsam emerges, creating a dense, almost melancholic aura that clings to the skin like an old secret.
