La Voglia D'Amare launched in 2024. Created by Filippo Sorcinelli, it is described on the website as: When the sun sets and the heat of the day gives way to the coolness of night, the atmosphere is charged with an energy with a taste of mystery. The city lights come on, but the adventures and excitement are far from them... we search for them by walking by the sea, where the figures are undefined and where we sense only the sea and a few cars in the distance. Time passes, and the summer night invites us to get lost and let ourselves be carried blend with the tar of a newly renovated street next door. Everything is made possible under the reflections of the moon, sitting and looking at an undefined landscape that turns black to blue. They are passions of everyone, for everyone, of a minute or an entire night...those that are fixed forever, for the usual sip of memory. It features top top notes of oakmoss, musk and amber; middle notes of coconut cream and iris rhizome; and base notes of pine tar and tangerine. La Voglia D'Amare is an extrait de parfum.
FILIPPO SORCINELLI LA VOGLIA D'AMARE REVIEWS
Fragrantica: This fragrance was a great addition to my collection, I just love it! In terms of summer, what we get is not quite the usual composition, but it works great and, in my opinion, leans to be masculine. For me, it's mostly dusty dry coconut, a little powdery, slightly citrus fruity during the drydown and has a deep scent. The overall effect is a bit like an unusually dark, grayer, serious-toned powdery, perhaps earthy, slightly fruity luxury sunscreen. Or maybe it gives the impression of a gray, slightly fruity wax from certain undertones? I definitely love wearing it! We get an absolutely wearable, delicate, non-boring and pleasant composition that avoids any kind of offensive impression. Performance is fine, the intensity is also absolutely correct! I think it could work well from spring to fall.
Fragrantica: A little bit smoky (almost cigarette ashy) juicy ( almost creamy) coconut. It has some sunscreen/handcream vibe too. For me its like you would leave a bounty chocolate, some cigarette and some really expensive handcream to melt together on a beach and than you would take a bite of it with a little spoon also on the beach but at night. I can't decide which season does it fit the most. I bought it for the summer but honestly i would wear it all year around, maybe even more in the winter for a summer-nostalgic moment. Performance wise is way above average. Its loud in the first hours and stays on ur skin/ cloths about 7-8 hours. its the loudest from the line but not the longest lasting one. ( i also own Dolcissimo Sollievo and Luce Dei Cuori) Maybe it didn't have enough time to macerate. Its complex and simple at the same time. Its loud. Its quality. Great addition to my collection!
Fragrantica: Beginning starts like an earthy coconut sunscreen with the iris and tangerine as the star. Lasting power of 10 hours as of today and has dried down to this earthy vanilla oakmoss that is still strong and present. Very impressed with how good this works for end of summer on days where it is cold in the morning and then gets hot again. Looking forward to wearing this all year round as well.
Parfumo: You were now at an age where you could afford things that were unthinkable 30 years ago. It was to be a reunion with many old friends from the past. From the finca you had rented near the beach on the Calabrian coast, a few scraps of music drifted over as you retreated to the beach for a few quiet minutes to dig your feet into the still damp sand. It had been raining all day, atypical for the time of year, but the smell that the rain had washed from the scattered rocks - mineral, slightly salty, wet stone - was overwhelming, had something primal, natural about it. The exposed power of nature. You've been here before. Thirty years ago. As you watched the young people a few dozen meters away on the beach, memories came flooding back. The surfboards rammed upright into the sand, the fire illegally lit on the beach, the sounds of Italo pop carried to you by the wind, the voices and the laughter, you had experienced all of that here too. It was a long time ago. A hint of melancholy spread. The new, fourth fragrance from Filippo Sorcinelli's Super Fluo? collection blends in well with the existing fragrances. Like the other three, La Voglia D'Amare celebrates the relaxed La Dolce Vita. Here, however, with a main note that defines the fragrance and makes it appear somewhat more serious. The mineral scent of wet stone after a downpour makes La Voglia D'Amare a special aquatic, if it could be classified in this category at all. What softens the justifiably somewhat "grey" fragrance impression is a very delicate fruity citrus note that brings in a little sweetness and, in combination with the coconut, which is also very subtle, breathes a little life into it, making it more humanizing. This fragrance impression remains for a long time, the orris root makes the whole thing a little drier, for me more powdery than creamy. It is never too sweet for my liking. What I like about La Voglia D'Amare are the existing contrasts of rugged and soft elements, which I find blend together wonderfully and ultimately create a harmonious overall picture. Another plus point is the unusual nature of the fragrance. It does not cater to the usual market research-based preferences, but instead creates a unique fragrance that I have never smelled before. Admittedly, I am a big fan of Sorcinelli and therefore perhaps a little positively biased. You started growing your hair long again two years ago. Perhaps a last attempt to bring back your youth. Or maybe it's just an embarrassing quirk of old age. Just as the setting sun kissed the surface of the sea and sent a gigantic beam of fire made up of thousands of red-yellow-orange spots of light across the water, the two girls passed by. Dazzled by the spectacle of light on the water, you pushed a strand of hair behind your ear and blinked up at the passers-by. The smile that was given to you dispelled your pensive melancholy about your past youth. Maybe it wasn't all too late after all. Time to go back to your friends. Being able to enjoy and celebrate such old friendships together here by the sea.... simply priceless.
Parfumo: The notes look like a rather gray Sorcinelli, which is atypical for this range and rather close to other ranges, and that's exactly how it comes across to me. It seems as if Sorcinelli had a few ideas left over from the incredible number of fragrances in his Memento collection, which was released just two months ago, which he wanted to use elsewhere. The fragrance starts with cold, damp notes that for me are somewhere between cement and rocks on the coast and has none of the exuberant liveliness of the other three fragrances. And anyone hoping for creamy coconut over time will be disappointed, because it remains calm and dry, earthy-mineral and coconut comes as a grandiose, authentic variant that is more familiar from savory cuisine. I really like it because it doesn't come across like the sweet, often very synthetic coconut I'm used to. And the composition doesn't get any less dark as it progresses, without being too dark for the summer that the general public likes. A wonderfully dark, earthy, hearty, gourmand fragrance with ambivalent warm and cold mineral notes that is sure to attract some new fans to Sorcinelli's fragrance art. And yes, I ordered it just half an hour after it was announced, because I'm a Sorcinelli freak. As two of the young ladies from the group approached you, the wind carried their scent ahead of them. Probably some kind of sun cream, slightly fruity and citrusy, accompanied by a subtle hint of coconut. But not as sweet and strong as the sun creams you remember from the 90s. Rather a hint of the salty sea air and the wet rocks. A few driftwoods that the storm had washed up this afternoon made the olfactory picture perfect. A scene by the sea that you don't make up, but that life has written into your CV.
