Laboratorio Olfattivo Sacreste is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Luca Maffei. Sacreste opens with Cardamom, Saffron, Labdanum, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Resins, Pepper, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Guaiac Wood. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Sacreste carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Sacreste is a divisive beast: an unapologetically 'churchy' incense, for some it's a nostalgic spiritual journey, for others, it's a flat, sour, or even synthetic mess that conjures images of burnt sofas. Test before you commit, because this ain't for everyone.

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.

Its moderate projection and generally good longevity make it versatile for most non-formal occasions. While some report it's too 'churchy' for the office, others find its neutrality ideal for daily wear, leaning into its subtle woodiness for casual settings.

About

Opens with a resinous, peppery kick of labdanum, elemi, and cardamom, spiced with saffron. The heart unfolds into a smoky, balsamic core of incense, pepper, and cypriol. It dries down to a rich, woody amber with cashmeran and cedar, offering a smooth, subtly sweet finish that some find comforting, others find one-dimensional.
