Filippo Sorcinelli Unum OPUS 1144 Extrait de Parfum

A foundation in scent – for light, soul and skin

OPUS 1144 is an olfactory monument. A fragrance that references the year the foundation stone of the Basilica of Saint-Denis near Paris was laid. This moment marks the birth of Gothic architecture – defined by verticality, sacred light and symbolic precision. For Filippo Sorcinelli, it is where a new way of thinking begins, long before the Renaissance. The transparency of light becomes a metaphor for inner clarity. This perfume bears not only a name, but a legacy.

Citrus and ceremony – elemi, lemon and jasmine

The opening of OPUS 1144 is radiant, ceremonial, like light entering a high vaulted nave. Lemon and mandarin shine with crisp freshness, softened by jasmine – white, luminous and full of grace. Elemi resin grounds the lightness with a subtle balsamic layer, evoking the slow, sacred rhythm of ancient rites. This interplay of volatile and resinous is not contradiction, but balance. The moment when vision becomes structure.

A floral vault of woods, resins and warmth

At its heart, iris rises – powdered, solemn, almost sacred. Wrapped in cashmere wood and benzoin, it creates a warm balsamic body, reminiscent of polished wood in silent cathedral pews. Orchid lends softness and a tender, floral breath within the architecture of scent. The composition remains defined, yet never rigid. It breathes with restrained elegance. In the base, white musk, vanilla, sandalwood and ambergris lie like the echo of an organ’s final note. Leather adds gravitas, a shadow of ritual, anchoring the scent in warmth and presence.

With OPUS 1144, Filippo Sorcinelli has composed a fragrance that fuses past and present. A long-lasting Extrait de Parfum that joins citrus brightness, floral elegance and sacred resins into a luxurious niche fragrance that stands like a Gothic cathedral – built of scent.
