Superfluo? asks whether the things considered unnecessary -beauty, emotion, memory and fragrance -might actually be essential. Created by Italian artist and perfumer Filippo Sorcinelli, the collection uses scent as a way to explore inner life and personal expression.
Each extrait de parfum begins with a poetic idea rather than a conventional fragrance category. Themes of tenderness, spirituality, slowness, desire and nostalgia are translated into compositions that move between light and shadow, comfort and intensity. Familiar materials are treated in unexpected ways, giving each fragrance its own emotional character.
Like Sorcinelli’s wider body of work, Superfluo? sits between perfumery and contemporary art. These are distinctive, highly concentrated fragrances made for those who want perfume to feel personal, thought-provoking and difficult to define.
