Trompette 8

Trompette 8 by Filippo Sorcinelli is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Trompette 8 was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Filippo Sorcinelli. Top notes are Incense, Black Pepper and Labdanum; middle notes are Chili Pepper and Cedar; base notes are Elemi resin, Pink Pepper and Bergamot. The “extrait de musique” collection aims to describe with incense the many sounds of the registers of the Great Organ of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The sixth new fragrance to be presented speaks synaesthetically of the trumpet register, belonging to the reed family, one of the oldest organ registers. The first documented attestation of this register is found in a description of a large organ from the first century B.C., placed in a gladiator arena. Reed registers the sound due to the vibration of a tab (the reed) on two walls. Characterized by a particularly metallic and “scratchy” sound just like real trumpets, they enrich and complement the instrument. The cap, like the previous extrait de musique, faithfully reproduces the stops of the registers of the Parisian Grand Organ. Trompette 8 is enclosed like its predecessors inside an entirely handmade wooden box, reminiscent of the wooden case of large pipe organ soundboxes.
