FILIPPO SORCINELLI Close Your Eyes and Then See Extrait de Parfum 100ml Filippo Sorcinelli

chiudi gli occhi e poi vedi – Extrait de Parfum 100 ml is the thirteenth fragrance in UNUM’s collection by Filippo Sorcinelli, bringing one of the most widespread and misunderstood fears to artistic perfumery: the fear of clowns, known as coulrophobia.

Also inspired by the figure of Pennywise, the evil clown from Stephen King’s It, this creation completes the journey begun with “but not today” (2018) and continued with “né il giorno né l’ora”, an olfactory exploration of the profound meaning of fear and its infinite nuances.

The figure of the clown, born to make people laugh, becomes a symbol of ambiguity here:

• exaggerated makeup that distorts the face

• the inability to read true emotions

• unpredictable movements that generate uneasiness

chiudi gli occhi e poi vedi translates all of this into scent:
a niche unisex extrait, intense and conceptual, playing on the idea of mask, distortion, anxiety, and the allure of danger. A fragrance that inhabits the gray area between attraction and repulsion, between play and nightmare, between spectacle and emotional disorder.

But, as always in Sorcinelli's art, Beauty intervenes on superficial wickedness:
art does not exalt the negative, it exposes it to transform it, allowing the essence of beauty to prevail even over the darkest fears.

It's a perfume designed for those who:

• love artistic and conceptual fragrances, far from commercial ones

• are fascinated by themes of fear, mask, psychology, and ambiguity

• seek a unisex extrait de parfum with a strong personality, ideal as a signature scent

Suitable for evening wear, for moments of introspection or for those who experience perfume as a true performative act: close your eyes, face the shadow, and see what truly emerges.
