by Luca Maffei

Laboratorio Olfattivo Sacreste is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Luca Maffei. The fragrance opens with Labdanum, Elemi, Saffron, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Pepper, Resin, Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cashmeran, Guaiac Wood, Musk, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Sacreste: Statement

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.

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.
