Scusami

Filippo Sorcinelli Scusami Opening: Juicy fruits, clean musk, and a soft ambery sweetness. Heart: White florals slowly intertwine with the fruity accord and clean musk, creating a smooth, elegant transition. Drydown: An overripe plum with a delicate balance of gentle sweetness and subtle tartness, wrapped in soft florals. Nostalgic rather than gourmand. Performance Longevity: Around 6 hours, with 10–12 hours as a skin scent. Projection: Moderate to moderately strong for the first 1–1.5 hours, then gradually settles close to the skin. Some fragrances tell a story. This one feels like remembering a memory that may never have truly existed. It feels like trying to grasp a hazy, nostalgic memory. I'm chasing a blonde girl in a white-and-blue floral dress through a field of flowers. She's smiling, but her face is impossible to see—washed away like an overexposed vintage photograph where sunlight erases every detail. Everything around us is alive with color, yet as she drifts farther and farther beyond my reach, the sky slowly darkens. My vision fades with it... until everything turns completely black, and I suddenly wake up. If a woman wears this, she becomes the girl in that memory—the one everyone quietly longs for but can never truly reach. If a man wears it, he wears it to remember the girl he once fell in love with... the one he could never forget. This isn't a fragrance that reminds me of someone. It reminds me of the feeling of losing someone before I ever had the chance to know them. Song association: Max Richter – On the Nature of Daylight

perfectly sweet candied fruits and flowers, never overwhelming and positively addictive. this is almost certainly sorcinelli's most accessible, mainstream scent but to me it's executed well enough to still be worthy of the price point. it doesn't come across as simple to me, it's certainly not as complex as his usual output but it's still an appropriately high-end scent- you don't get something like this without a good understanding of your domain of expertise. scusami feels like a generational masculine scent except it doesn't suck and you won't smell it absolutely everywhere for five years straight. this is not to say it's masculine-leaning, more that a confident man who doesn't need his cologne to stroke his ego or affirm his sense of masculinity will get a lot of mileage out of this. i personally love sorcinelli's churchy, gothic scents a lot but i will admit that they can be a little too challenging for a professional setting whereas this ticks all the right boxes as far as what i look for in a mature, everyday scent. frankly i would humiliate myself for a scent that's just the opening of this but i'm doing the rest of it a disservice in saying that because it's phenomenal from top to bottom. presentation-wise this is a pure unisex scent to me. maybe not such a unique choice for femme-presenting people given their breadth of options here, but definitely for the masc. my only gripe is that it's somewhat fleeting, on my skin i get 4-6 hours or so.

Scusa : a word that in its simplicity contains a lot. It is the conclusion of a journey of introspection and awareness, an act of courage, which makes us put aside all the feelings of pride that belong to us. And it often frees us, it makes us feel better, because too often we keep within us that hardness that actually does nothing but wear us down. Scusami is a fragrance that opens melancholic, floral, in my mind the image of withered flowers comes to mind which, perhaps after saying this word , flourish again, and give us a green, flowery and fruity landscape. I do not agree with the fact that it is considered out of Sorcinelli's style, because his style is not incensed (there are many of his fragrances without this note), but it is to give us art and emotion, and here is perfectly and again successful.

i’m going to start this off by saying this is a very linear fragrance it is not polarizing not insanely unique but it is still great. It’s soft florals and sharp fruits. It’s a little feminine which is okay. Right as you spray it your hit with berries and other assorted fruits then as it softens up you get some slight woods and a little sweetness from the sugar. Overall i would say this is a feminine fruity floral spring scent. Even with the basic composition that has been done hundreds of times i still think this is top 3 all time for me. So bright so uplifting and just smells incredible so easy to wear and so mass appealing. 9.8/10 performance is decent

My God this is stunning in every aspect. This is the very definition of high end niche perfumery at its finest. I'm not much of a fan of fruity flower based fragrances but this one nearly swept me off my feet. Instant love! The performance, projection and sillage is above average & the overall composition is absolutely stunning! I find this to be so addictive that I simply can't get enough of it. Please, do yourself a huge favor & sample this house. Anyone who dislikes this fragrances needs their noses checked. There's so much going on here I could never do this fragrance justice. Sample it & you can thank me later
