Epicentro

Epicentro by Filippo Sorcinelli presents a fresh, woody-green profile that diverges from the brand's typically smoky and incense-heavy creations. The opening features bright bergamot and virginia cedar, delivering a clean, formal citrus impression that gives way to a cool, medicinal minty-green character with prominent ambrette and mate. This progression evokes a sense of calm and serenity rather than the melancholic or devastated atmosphere suggested by the name 'epicenter.' The fragrance evolves into a balanced sweetness with amber and angelica, creating a nuanced, aromatic drydown that remains subtle and soft. Longevity is moderate, with a sillage that is discernible but not overwhelming, making it suitable for daytime wear. Its quiet elegance and fresh herbal complexity appeal to those seeking a calm, contemporary urban scent with a poetic story, though it lacks the depth or emotional weight some may expect from a thematic perfume tied to seismic tragedy. The result is an insightful yet undramatic fragrance that feels more like a gentle return to nature than an aftermath of destruction.
