La Voglia d'aMare.

La Voglia d'aMare translates directly as 'the desire for the sea', a phrase from Filippo Sorcinelli's own poetic sketch that also describes the scent: skin dissolving into blue smoke, barefoot on wet asphalt, walking the shoreline at dusk. The name captures a specific longing, not for a beach, but for the darker maritime edge, the harbor, the dock, the moment the boats come in and leave the water black behind them. Sorcinelli built the fragrance around that tension: salt and stone, tar and warmth.

The structure reverses expectation. Where most marine fragrances begin bright and recede into depth, La Voglia d'aMare announces itself with the heaviest material first, the pine tar, and lets the coconut cream arrive as a slow, warm counterweight. The interplay between tar and coconut is the point: they shouldn't work together, and yet the coconut doesn't soften the tar so much as it makes it wearable, almost edible, without losing its mineral edge. Orris root bridges the two, clean, powdery, faintly earthy, and keeps the heart from tipping into sweetness. The drydown is where restraint wins: oakmoss, amber, and musk close the composition quietly, with only a ghost of tar remaining.

The opening is sudden and declarative. Pine tar doesn't ease in, it arrives fully formed, industrial and sharp, and for the first few minutes there's nothing else. The the community review called it 'tarry marine for the daring,' and that's accurate, though it undersells what comes next. Mandarin orange appears as a brief citrus flash, a pocket of brightness before the coconut cream takes over and becomes the dominant story for the next three to four hours. The heart is creamy, almost custardy, with the orris lending a mineral undertone that keeps it grounded. The drydown is where this fragrance earns its hours: oakmoss and amber settle close to the skin, the tar softens into something almost sweet, and musk extends the longevity so that eight to ten hours later, the warmth is still there, quietly persistent, asking nothing of the room.

La Voglia d'aMare sits in the SuperFluo collection alongside other 2024 releases from the house. The combination of pine tar and coconut cream places it outside conventional marine territory, it's working harbor, not resort beach. Early wearers describe it as atmospheric and memorable, the kind of fragrance that doesn't need to fill a room to leave an impression.
