Filippo Sorcinelli Epicentro is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019. Epicentro opens with Virginia Cedarwood and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Mate, Ambrette, and Calamus, and dries down to a base of Angelica, Canadian Fir Balsam, Amber, and Vetiver. Filippo Sorcinelli's Epicentro carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Prepare yourself for a divisive scent. Epicentro is a stark, challenging journey from a fresh, green opening to an anxiety-inducing, metallic-woody dry down that some will adore for its unique artistry, while others will find it utterly unwearable. This is niche perfumery at its most polarising.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and longevity mean it won't overpower, but its challenging, unique character makes it unsuitable for most formal or office settings. Best reserved for casual, individual wear where its unconventional nature can be appreciated without causing discomfort.

About

Epicentro opens with a sharp, almost biting freshness of bergamot and Virginia cedarwood, quickly revealing a complex, green heart. Herbal mate and the unusual, slightly vegetal aroma of calamus emerge, creating a dry, almost dusty earthiness. As it settles, a foundation of balsamic fir and guaiac wood grounds the scent, with a hint of cumin adding a strange, industrial warmth alongside the comforting resinous benzoin and amber.
