by Filippo Sorcinelli
Scusami by Filippo Sorcinelli is a highly feminine, gourmand-fruity perfume that evokes the effervescent elegance of vintage Victoria's Secret scents. It opens with a vibrant burst of tart, sweet fruits—cassis, mirabelle plum, and citrus—cut through with a soft, musky cedar and ambrette base. The heart unfolds with a delicate gauzy floral mix of freesia, lily-of-the-valley, and rose, lending a radiant, playful sweetness. The dry down is smooth and vanillic, thanks to heliotrope and sugar notes, bringing a comforting, candy-like warmth without ever becoming overwhelming. It’s light in structure yet leaves a notable, moderate sillage that lingers on skin and clothing, especially in spring and summer. Perfume lovers appreciate its accessible character, particularly those who enjoy sweet, fruity accords with a hint of floral softness. It stands out among Sorcinelli's darker, gothic offerings as an unusually cheerful and wearable fragrance, capturing a flirty, delicate femininity.
