Filippo Sorcinelli Quando rapita in estasi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Quando rapita in estasi opens with Cedar, Lily of the Valley, and Incense, settles into a heart of Clove and Peach, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Filippo Sorcinelli's Quando rapita in estasi carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a masterpiece for incense lovers, but its ecclesiastical drama isn't for everyone. It's a challenging wear that divides opinion sharply; you'll either adore its spiritual depth or find it unsettlingly gothic. Definitely one to sample before committing.

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.

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
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Imagine a solemn church after a grand ceremony, the air still thick with potent incense and the ghost of woodsmoke, yet softened by an unexpected sweetness. It opens with smoky cedar and frankincense, soon joined by a warm, ripe peach that adds a touch of ethereal fruitiness, while a hint of clove and lily of the valley provides a subtly delicate spice and floral lift. The drydown settles into a comforting, balsamic base of tonka, vanilla, and patchouli, retaining that sacred, woody-amber depth.
