Filippo Sorcinelli Lavs is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Lavs opens with Jasmine, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Clove, Coriander, Labdanum, and Elemi, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oakmoss, Rosewood, and Tonka Bean. Filippo Sorcinelli's Lavs carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a divisive affair, a 'love it or hate it' church incense that screams solemnity and ancient spirituality. Many love its photorealistic, cold incense vibe, while others find it too sharply medicinal or even plasticky.

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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal

Its distinctive, heavy incense profile, often likened to religious ceremonies, makes it unsuitable for casual or office wear. However, its bold and unique character is perfect for formal events or niche gatherings where it can truly make a statement.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

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

Lavs throws you headfirst into a sacred, smoky abyss. A sharp, almost metallic opening of pepper and cardamom quickly gives way to the heart of the fragrance: frankincense-like elemi and labdanum, creating a cool, resinous church-like atmosphere. The dry down introduces a woody depth with oakmoss and rosewood, softened by a touch of amber and tonka, wrapping the wearer in a mystical, contemplative aura.
