Created to mark the 25th anniversary of his atelier, it revisits the incense identity of the original LAVS with a new composition. Inspired by the world of sacred vestments, religious ritual and the atmosphere of incense-filled spaces, it explores the relationship between the sacred, memory and human vulnerability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe opening combines white pepper, wool and palo santo. White pepper introduces a dry, crisp spiciness, while palo santo brings an aromatic, woody quality with a distinctive incense-like character. Wool adds an unusual textural dimension, suggesting the soft, natural smell of fabric and the materials associated with the atelier's traditional tailoring work. Together, they create an opening that feels dry, tactile and quietly atmospheric rather than conventionally fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eAs the fragrance develops, caraway, cardinal incense and copal introduce a more pronounced aromatic and resinous character. Caraway contributes a distinctive herbal spice, while the incense brings the composition closer to the atmosphere of a religious sanctuary. Copal adds a balsamic, resinous quality, creating depth and warmth around the aromatic spices. This is where the fragrance's incense identity becomes particularly apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eIn the dry-down, incense resin, guaiac wood, opoponax and oak create a deep, woody foundation. Guaiac wood brings a smoky, slightly sweet woodiness, while opoponax contributes a rich, balsamic warmth. Oak adds a dry, earthy quality, grounding the composition and giving it a more substantial finish. The incense remains central, with the woods and resins creating a layered, atmospheric impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLAVS XXV is not simply a straightforward church incense fragrance. Its combination of wool, aromatic spice, copal and multiple woody resins gives it a more tactile and complex character. The composition moves between dry spice, soft fabric, aromatic smoke and deep resinous woods, creating a fragrance that feels both austere and enveloping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the fragrance feels like stepping into an old sanctuary where incense has settled into the wooden furnishings and sacred fabrics. Dry spices, smoky resins, palo santo and oak create an atmospheric composition that balances solemnity with warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-ca13619b-7fff-727c-44a4-84e8f017f556\"\u003eView our full collection of genuine\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theperfumeapothecary.co.uk\/collections\/zoologist\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theperfumeapothecary.co.uk\/collections\/filippo-sorcinelli\" title=\"Browse Filippo Sorcinelli collection decant samples\"\u003eFilippo Sorcinelli f\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theperfumeapothecary.co.uk\/collections\/filippo-sorcinelli\" title=\"Browse Filippo Sorcinelli collection decant samples\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-ca13619b-7fff-727c-44a4-84e8f017f556\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eragrance samples\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Filippo Sorcinelli","offers":[{"title":"1ml","offer_id":55335996195149,"sku":"FSLAV1","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2ml","offer_id":55335996227917,"sku":"FSLAV2","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5ml","offer_id":55335996260685,"sku":"FSLAV5","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/0286\/7277\/files\/Filippo_Sorcinelli_Lavs_XXV_Fragrance_Samples_UK_1ml_2ml_5ml_samples_available.jpg?v=1794188505","url":"https:\/\/theperfumeapothecary.co.uk\/products\/filippo-sorcinelli-lavs-fragrance-samples-uk","provider":"The Perfume Apothecary ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
