Filippo Sorcinelli Symphonie-Passion is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016. Symphonie-Passion opens with Lemon and Peony, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Filippo Sorcinelli's Symphonie-Passion carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive and pricey, this vetiver-heavy offering has its admirers, but many find it too similar to cheaper alternatives and surprisingly tame for an 'Extrait'. It's sophisticated, yes, but lacks the promised passion.

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 Fall
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for various settings, though it might be a bit too understated for formal evening events. The clean, woody profile is generally inoffensive for the office and casual wear, but some find it too linear for a date.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Symphonie-Passion opens with a fleeting, sharp burst of lemon, quickly joined by an earthy, slightly smoky vetiver that dominates the composition. A subtle, watery peony note attempts to soften the edges, adding a delicate floral whisper. As it dries, the scent settles into a woody embrace of cedar and creamy sandalwood, underpinned by a clean musk and the persistent, dry vetiver, creating a meditative, somewhat austere aura.
