In 2001, he founded LAVS, an atelier that creates handmade sacred vestments for the Catholic church, including robes for Popes Benedict XVI, Francis, and Leo XIV. From this sacred context emerged UNUM in 2014, a fragrance house rooted in Gothic architecture, incense, and spirituality. His most iconic scent, LAVS, began as a room and garment spray for the papal wardrobe. His fragrances function as artistic meditations: atmospheric, dark, and ceremonial, as natural an extension of his work as organ music or prayer.

LAVS connects that world directly to fragrance, beginning with the scent of his sacred garments and developing into a perfume.
