Filippo Sorcinelli Memento PONT. MAX. Extrait de Parfum

The Scent of the Holy See – Between Eternity and Ceremony

PONT. MAX. by Filippo Sorcinelli is an Extrait de Parfum that carries the aura of the Vatican – filled with dignity, ritual, and timeless spirituality. Inspired by the sacristy of St. Peter's Basilica, this fragrance speaks of the Pontifex Maximus, the "greatest bridge builder," whose mission is to unite the divine with the earthly. Like a liturgical garment, this scent wraps You in notes steeped in centuries of ceremony – infused with the quiet power of faith and the spiritual grandeur of Rome.

Between Incense and Water – Sacred Contrasts

The composition opens with holy resins: myrrh, warm and balsamic, sets the tone with a solemn presence, followed by the sweet depth of benzoin, rising like a whispered prayer. Frankincense resin adds liturgical gravity – mystical, spicy, and filled with an aura of transcendence. These resinous notes form the heart of the perfume, merging with soft golden amber, evoking stillness, depth, and continuity. Yet, aquatic notes cut through the ritual with unexpected freshness – a symbol of cleansing, baptism, and renewal.

Liturgy of the Senses – Between Stone and Soul

At the floral heart blooms jasmine, subtle and uplifting, like sacred hymns echoing through the basilica dome. It lends a gentle sweetness that comforts without disrupting the sanctity. The base is grounded by Virginia cedarwood – earthy, noble, and deeply anchored. It gives the composition a woody architecture, as enduring as the foundations of St. Peter’s itself.

PONT. MAX. is more than a fragrance – it is a tribute to continuity, spiritual depth, and the beauty of ritual structure. For those who find not only transience but meaning in perfume. Discover PONT.
