Filippo Sorcinelli Pioggia Moderata via the brand
Why am I so drawn to Filippo Sorcinelli’s body of work, perhaps because I am drawn to him as a fellow, one who walks along the path of life to a rhythm I know.

His creations are always able to elicit in me, deep responses, emotions captured in their pure state. It is the mark of a true artist, one whose creations rise from deep within without falsehoods or pretenses, drawn effortlessly from his very nature. A humbleness of genius sits comfortably around his shoulders, each new release playing me like an instrument, plucking and fine tuning my senses and emotions. In a world such as ours at present, it is important, he exists.

‘Like Tears in the Rain’, so many of us must recall that final scene in the original and now classic Ridley Scott film, Bladerunner, atmospheric and poignant it was a monologue played by actor Rutger Hauer, a defining moment where we were suspended, captured by the imagery of a brutal and dark industrial landscape suddenly transformed by the poetic utterings of a rogue replicant, rivulets of rain, moments of silent reverence and a soupcon of humanity, cradling a bird to his chest amid fierce downpours.

Residing here is the essence Filippo Sorcinelli Pioggia Moderata part of the Atmosphere d’Emotion collection, urban and industrial places transformed by the simplest yet most precious of natural phenomena, a storm of rain, the harshness and detritus momentarily gifted a clean slight of tenderness. A thousand faces on a thousand streets, glances lowered and with hunched shoulders, singular in the crowds, momentarily diverted and stilled. Pioggia Moderata is a burst of freshness with its bergamot splash paired with iris and salinity upon asphalt streets, just as the rain has passed, a washing clean that gifts-tired streets a rejuvenation. The frenetic humans scurrying to-and-fro in urban velocity are forced to stop, to shelter a moment and inhale a blessed relief, raising sight to the skies.

How that scent of newly fallen rain on dusty and fetid streets offers up to us a joy, it is the ozonic properties that caress us so in this proximity to water, that rising scent of petrichor during a working day, we are gifted a pause riven with reminiscences, this beneficence is a reset to tumble once again into childhood, to play in puddles, our faces mirrored up from the hard surface, streetlights reflected, splashing in our innocence. An intense emotion overtakes me in company of doused herbal notes saturated with freshly blessed myrtle and thyme, seasoned with spices and a softly wafting jasmine. A tough, hot day in the city has become something tender, nature has stepped into the arena carrying off the residues of decay smeared on dusty windowpanes, stone, carved centuries ago indrawing breath. A collective sigh.
After the storm subsides, Piogga Moderata acquires a gentle resonance, a symphony of warmth pervades, graced with woods, earthy notes and musk’s, as if nature reigns in the heart of the metropolis enveloping all life within.

The dense dust of pollution erased, the world weary revived, human life altered with simple rain, edifices with renewed eyes, colour has been rendered upon greyness and dull appearance. The edges of urban life gently coaxed back to nature and the emotion we feel in contact with it. I am cocooned and reassured as the patchouli, present is gilded with a creamy sandalwood, there is a renewed elegance in its wearing. Bought back to ourselves, jolted out of apathy and the day has a returned confidence. Never forget to dance and play in the rain; wash your wearied soul with Pioggia Moderata.
