Originally from Mondolfo, Filippo Sorcinelli founded the LAVS atelier in 2001, dedicated to liturgical garments and objects. His work has dressed, among others, Pope Benedict XVI; in 2013, LAVS created the garments for Pope Francis's inaugural Mass. In 2014, he brought this world into perfumery with LAVS, the first creation in the UNUM collection, and went on to develop an auteur fragrance house shaped by art, music and photography.

For Filippo Sorcinelli, fragrance becomes a form of olfactory couture. Incense, resins, wood, liturgical fabrics, Gothic architecture and organ music inspire narrative compositions that are often dark and richly textured. The fragrances are conceived like musical scores, with a subject, counter-subject and finale, while the bottles extend the artistic experience.

Right now at Fragsplit, 1 Filippo Sorcinelli fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: Io Non Ho Mani Che Mi Accarezzino il Volto.
