UNUM® ___ il tempio olfattivo della materia misticamente connessa al mondo dello spirito, da un anno sul mercato ha scosso gli animi della profumeria artistica, irrompendo con suo stile netto, portando le proprie esperienze e le proprie fragilità.
L’attenzione ricevuta in ogni parte del mondo ha fatto sì che il cammino sulle linee rette della libertà e della coerenza del direttore creativo Filippo Sorcinelli potesse avere ancora più forza, scrollandosi di dosso definitivamente le vesti del perbenismo estetico per solcare la storia con tutte le contaminazioni artistiche della sua anima.
UNUM® è divenuto un patrimonio di un pensiero tramandato. Materia che si fa scultura, cultura nera che vive e che percuote gli stati d’animo.
Alle tre fragranze si aggiungono oggi due nuovi venti sonori nel mare potente ed evocativo: la tonalità affettiva di Ennui_Noir, pungolo e sentimento orizzontale e la potente Symphonie-Passion, folgorante incarnazione olfattiva di un’improvvisazione.
Cinque totem mistici inscritti nella linea dell’anima. Cinque sistemi di Bellezza senza tempo. Cinque identità aperte al pensiero libero dell’Arte. Cinque tappi scultorei e eco sostenibili, creati quasi con un sol gesto che squarcia il legno e plasma il cemento. Cinque materie racchiuse in un libro monolitico che s’impone nel tempo.
_ennui_noir_
I penetrate in the faint light but in the heart of the darkness of the imaginary.
it is a sweaty sound flowing into the pulsating veins. it is bated breath when you half close the eyes. it is apathy of an imposed infinity, marked; impotence to live. It is frees expression of disgust and joy in taking delight of it.
There is no look, there is no reading, there is no job. All is perfectly clutched in the crusts of our darkest feeling.
A filamentous dust when blown inflames; a black rust biting , corrodes a thin layer only for sticking... But whilst forming it protects You.
The dark boredom protects, cause it’s produced in loneliness and with the loneliness it makes ferrous shield against mediocrity that is behind the door of everyday life.
It is soaked of black boredom who is capable of digging into the inside to find and turn it into a gift.
Black boredom as well opening you, throws yourself in another dimension, distant from every trivial and certain contamination.
There is no certainty in the dark boredom, as it is experienced on You, becoming part, crust, bark of your deep hidden woods. A lonely flute in the fog of yourself.
And the external perception subtracts the behavior ,recalling scents of sap in vanilla; and connected to Vetyver and the complexity of a Patchouly of Sumatra, of Singapore and of the Borneo, it demolishes the wall of the hyperactive, where the empty time shapes himself as an horizon of possibility.
It is no more a matter of spending the time, but accept its inexorable flow. The fog of the lost, living becomes massive into the heart, in the spellbound forest of the woods of cedar, on the damp carpet of the heliotrope, lover of that loneliness that keeps the eyes slightly shut.
In the endless matter of the lost and rediscovered Time, the elevated reason ferments of the void in the void, with the history of a Myrtle, born as a thing from a poor land, raising and embracing to the lavender, outlining a straight road built in the transgression, main dark source for the research of satisfaction. The spirit of life is thirsty of new, of continuous changes , occupying the whole space of the soul, as a fog, as the sleep impeding a movement, inebriating for being nothing but somebody in the continuous sound of an ultra-power.
Because, ennui_noir , with its horizontal language, wants to manifest how things are about ourselves.
_Symphonie-Passion_
A journey in a journey.
Where to the North I have known the origin of a Music.
Because only if your skin is crossed by the icy wind of this river, you can say to have played too.
Walking inside this wind, ploughing the stones scratched by unknown sounds and silently gather Ourselves in a nearly impassable condition.
Improvisation is almost silent in flames, sometimes without any reasoning in the most intense truth of a language ... as the very act of improvising is evocative, without showing up the feelings
the atom, sound of love, closed to ourselves as its scent, insane wind that flows through the mighty and uninhibited space of the art.
It is a music with a line, dressed in her true and essential values.
The engine starts, eager to drop the sound infused of dusty woods and iron among the mathematical archways of the marble, among the ears waiting for that unpredictable harmony that unleash the illusion.
This is the world of music: to get carried away by the skin, by the smile and by suffering, black tears of the infinite.
As a wood of cedar moves the bank of the fund, majestic and powerful, prickly as its leaves, musically embodies embraced to the musk and the sandalwood.
Passing the heart of Vetyver, together involved with the Cachemeran, in a combination of ancient symbolic and modern technology.
Opens and concludes the Gregorian journey of the Passion, the olfactory concert of Lemon and Peony, the union among truth and sweetness, between the rupture and the chromatic caress.
Symponie-Passion, the damp cement of the thought, deep echo among the archways that wrap, insatiable balm that screeches and welcomes
A mother and daughter and their shared passion were the commencement of Evody’s exciting adventure. The name was not chosen at random as conveyed the idea of evodia, the “tree of a hundred thousand flowers” evoking the hundred thousand scents yet to be created.
Searching for new creative talents, Régine and Cérine opened their first prestigious “niche” perfumery in 2006 in the heart of Saint Germain des Prés which they called Evody. They were the first in Paris to propose rare, intimate and precious fragrances.
Collection d’Ailleurs
This collection is a tribute to getting away from it all, to the riches of nature, to the diversity of different cultures. The fragrances in the Collection d’Ailleurs, represent the creators very personal interpretations of far away places. Olfactory images that bring together the two great passions of this mother/daughter duo: travel and, of course, fragrance
NOIR D'ORIENT
was constructed around India’s olfactory richness. Opening up, the incense brings out its serenity. The heart reveals a rain of hot, sensual and intense spices as cloves and cinnamon. The soul is both beastly and tender with the mixt of notes of wood, brown rum and patchouli. Heady oriental wake.
D'ÂME DE PIQUE
is an ode to roses from “Rose Valley”. We have explored all different facets of the Queen of flowers. D'âme de Pique opens up with a green and sparkling note brought by black current leaves and a dash of pear. In the heart the rose is honored. The essences are magnified by a syrupy raspberry. At the end, the voluptuousness of sandal wood and vanilla which contrasts with the sundried patchouli beautify the sensual Queen.
OMBRE FUMÉE
is an ode to vetiver. This raw material is Reunion’s wealth. Vetiver will be wrapped with dark mysterious but sensual notes as well as green and fresh notes to characterize the diversity of Reunion’s flora. Invigorating Citrus notes from Orange and lemon open up this fragrance. This freshness facet is followed by the softer touch of cypress. Then follows the soft and powdery note of iris betrothed to hot black pepper. The vetiver then becomes obscure. The gloomy Tonka bean is mastered by the ambregris and deer Chord sensuality.
BLANC DE SIENNE
is a luminous fragrance, as luminous as Italy. Sparkling and invigorating notes open up this olfactive ballet thanks to the essential duo lemon - bergamot combined with basil. In the heart, Tuscany is honored through its sensual milky figs, the green notes of cypress, the sweetness of orange blossom and above all the powdered sophistication of the iris. The backward note is warmer with its wooden notes associated to resins and coated with coffee grounds.

Cuir Cuba Intense
Cuir Cuba Intense is a tobacco-leather combination on which slip a licorice base and a floral heart of magnolia and ylang.
Sage, lavender and mint sign a fresh and rising start. A spicy heart of cumin and coriander is growing on woody notes of patchouli and cedar which eventually effloresce on an animalic background and hay.
