   Cinnamon gum meets minty toothpaste.
   Huge myrrh, & galbanum on a burned cinnamon powder with some hot peppery cinnamon flavor gum and minty toothpaste. It has sage but less than tobacco ashes! Amber, petigrin, and styrax are clearly there but mixed within the groups above! Geranium is there as well.
   I feel sweaty as i applied it on my skin! it’s quite hot! chili hot and makes me sweat more and more! This is weird tho and i don’t know if ill classify it as chaos cause it sounds it is! Really weird but fair to be honest.

   Io Non Ho Mani Che Mi Accarezzino il Volto is a barnstormer of an oriental, opening with a vivid cinnamon stick meets sage accord with a lot of rosewood, incense, smoke, and resins buoying that up. As it develops it stays intensely spicy, but grows sweeter, with the Ylang becoming quite palpable – more like its aggressive cousin, Cananga – towards the heart, then more powdery and hay-like in the drydown.
   While there are certainly precedents for this scent – Comme des Garcons Eau de Parfum and Diptyque’s L’Eau share the same penchant for wielding clove like a flaming sword – there’s an orchestral density to it that makes it quite captivating among modern orientals. There’s no subtlety, but there is complexity and nuance, and the notes bounce off each other in pleasing clashes around a cinnamon backbone. The heaviness; the blockiness of the texture makes it feel all of a piece rather than chaotic.
   I’m free associating at this point, but: the brass and siren sections from Varese’s Ameriques; the Niagara Mohawk Building; Boccioni’s The City Rises. There’s a certain aesthetic of beauty-in-bombast that transcends what I can say about the notes themselves.
   I’m at the point in this hobby where I’ve smelled literally thousands upon thousands of perfumes, so while I continually smell things that smell “good” it takes a lot to really compel, fascinate, and move me the way this fragrance has.

   This fragrance absolutely captures UNUM’s aesthetic; esoteric, stark & foreboding, almost brutally atavistic. Fortunately, it happens to smell awesome. I read a review that mentions Big Red gum, that’s an absurd comparison but it actually works. The incense and medicinal herbs lend the cinnamon a strong, mentholated sting that you feel while eating super-concentrated cinnamon candy; however, I don’t want to give the impression that this is a friendly, floppy-eared scent. It’s aromatic, resinous and dry, definitely suitable for scenting religious sacraments or old, bygone rituals

   this is the darkest and extraordinary scent I have ever experienced.
   from the beginning slightly citrus … it becomes a smell of photographic film … asphalt, incense.I leaves breathless, evokes melancholy, sadness and hope behind her cinnamon note. church, cemeteries, darkness of the soul, solitude, meditation. it is not a sad scent. is the scent of the lonely man who meditates, who is obscure but loves life. sorcinelli is an incredible character. and this fragrance tells all his story. organ, old books, bitter sweetness. this perfume sweeps into me my deeper and hidden memories and feelings.
   impressive force. 10/10 the finest perfume that exists.

   People tend to gift thoughtfully, so I was perplexed when TwistedLily sent a sample of Accarezzino. What was it about my Buyer profile, that made them think I’d want what looks like a cross between a Dementor and a garbage bag? There’s no avant-garde lineup of CdG or experimental odeurs in the purchase history. It took a cruise through the reviews to realize this is *Unum*, and therefore the same vendor as Opus 1144, which I love! Aha. 🙂
   Having tested blindly, the deliberation was ‘Citrus-Aromatic’. Now viewing the pyramid, I can see the ylang, geranium, and myrrh as well. In the heart, I get a nostalgic Japanese tatami-mat accord, which may be a mix of the Tobacco with woods. A harmonious benzoin-styrax emerges in the dry-down. Due to personal preference for cinnamon & galbanum, you’ll need to hit a lot harder for these to register. In other words, Cinnamon would be half way down the olfactory pyramid in my re-arrangement; with Clary Sage leading the pack.
   There’s similarities to Papillon’s Dryad, notably the galbanum-sage-citrus. Accarezzino is less sour, smoother, with less jarring/ shocking opening. Bonus points here for the elegant progression, and lack of weird dry-down (no Peru balsam-Oakmoss mix).
   In sum, Accarezzino is a beautiful blend. I’m glad I gave it a chance, and so should you! 🙂

   Big Red gum! Spicy country cottage vibe.. Cinnamon is the star here not too raw/earthy, the floral plays second fiddle and works well, the other notes support and give a bit of depth but overall pretty straightforward and linear.

   Picture: Whitesnakes of incense smoke, coming from a church during the night under a C(rescent) Moon. This blend was truly Made in Heaven. :^)
   What I’m saying is it has this real Gay Fashion Priest vibe, a real sexy nose experience that I’m loving. The aroma does remind me of the catholic churches I’ve been in, but steamier. Kind of a heavy body/skin scent.
   Maybe too much for day wear but I want to sleep in this every night.
   (too hard to work in a C-Moon pun so i gave up)
   edit: Beastly longevity. Over 24 hours and a shower later I can still smell it.

    Edit: now that I’ve smelt this new Sorcinelli’s creation, I must say this is an improvement, advancement of his way to make perfumes.
    An absolutely kaleidoscopic opening, one of the most iridescent and changing I’ve ever experienced, a really, really high-impact one, made of tobacco, galbanum, sage and geranium that succede each other in a vortex before setting in a beautiful tobacco-styrax-sage-sandalwood heart.
    No sweetness, just aromatic well-blended and a bit spicy tobacco core full of nuances and pleasure.
    As time passes, incense and benzoin emerge to take the composition in a less aromatic and more creamy-resinous side, with more amber and tonka.
    Very complex, very multi-layered work.
    Good, good work.
    The alone overture is worth the experience of this creation.

    The name means “I’ve no hands caressing my face”, and it is a tribute to the title of a Mario Giacomelli’s artistic collection of photos from about 1960 (Giacomelli is a famous Italian photographer) about black dressed priests in the white snow, very suggestive if you ask me, you could search on the web to see them.
    That said, notes sound so good to me, but I think every time I would catch the bottle I would feel sad.

    HaraldK, means: I Am Alone.
    the bottle make me sad. Is it inspired to The Death?
    Recall me those ghost full of torn rags in Harry Potters. Dementors. Mrs Rowling has in fact declared she was inspired by depression in creating those creatures.
    The notes sounds interesting but, thank you, I wouldn’t have that thing into my house even if it wasa present.
    PS: I would translate this name in “I don’t have any hand which caress my face” (I do not have the hands of anybody caressing my face) and it seems to be the title of the book of a photographer. Dancing Priests on the cover. Maybe the perfume is a sort of incense camaraderie.

    If anybody cares, the name (more or less) translates ‘I don’t have hands that could caress my face’. Whatever that’s supposed to mean.
