Filippo Sorcinelli Pont. Max. is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Filippo Sorcinelli. Pont. Max. opens with Virginia Cedarwood, settles into a heart of Aquatic and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Resins, Amber, Benzoin, and Myrrh. Filippo Sorcinelli's Pont. Max. carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive scent. Some call it divine, a masterpiece of sacred incense; others find it a scrubber, a 'blue ice' abomination or just pure cigarette ash. You'll either love this complex, challenging fragrance or absolutely despise it.

Scent Profile

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
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its heavy, austere incense profile, make it unsuitable for office or casual wear. It leans heavily towards formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated, with some finding it appropriate for date nights due to its unique depth.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Pont. Max. opens with the profound depth of Virginia cedar, quickly joined by an unexpected aquatic breeze that swirls around the solemnity of jasmine. As it settles, a rich tapestry of resins, warm amber, and benzoin emerges, interwoven with the ancient, smoky aroma of myrrh and incense. This is a scent that evokes old stone cathedrals and centuries of ritual.
