What It Smells Like

Séance by Sorce is a warm, atmospheric amber fragrance inspired by the spaces between the living and the dead. It brings together the bitter citrus character of Campari and orange with warming cinnamon, delicate florals, smoked amber and creamy woods. A touch of vanilla sugar softens the composition, creating a fragrance that feels mysterious and slightly otherworldly without becoming overwhelmingly dark.

The opening is bright and distinctive, with Campari and orange creating a bittersweet citrus introduction. The Campari accord brings a distinctive aperitif-like quality, balancing the juicy brightness of orange with a slightly bitter, herbal edge. Cinnamon adds warmth and spice, giving the citrus a richer, almost festive character. The combination is reminiscent of a spiced orange cocktail, with a subtle boozy impression.

As the fragrance develops, jasmine sambac and immortelle introduce a more complex floral character. Jasmine brings a soft, heady floral quality, while immortelle adds a distinctive warm, honeyed and slightly herbaceous facet. Ambrette contributes a gentle musky softness, helping to blend the florals with the emerging amber notes. The result is less overtly floral and more like a warm, aromatic haze surrounding the citrus and spice.

In the dry-down, smoked amber, vanilla sugar and salt create a warm, slightly sweet and gently smoky foundation. Australian sandalwood brings a smooth, creamy woodiness, while cashmere woods add a soft, musky warmth. The vanilla sugar remains restrained rather than turning the fragrance into a conventional gourmand, and the salt provides an interesting contrast to the sweetness. The citrus gradually softens, leaving a rich amber and woody finish.

Séance has an unusual balance of brightness and darkness. The orange and Campari make the opening lively, while cinnamon, immortelle and smoked amber give it a deeper, more mysterious character.

Overall, the fragrance feels like a bittersweet orange cocktail served in a candlelit room, surrounded by warm cinnamon, smoky amber, delicate florals and creamy woods. Mysterious, spiced and softly sweet, it captures the atmosphere of a séance without losing its warmth.
