The story

The wound that became a crown.

Named for the Latin word for wound — not the injury itself, but the point at which it becomes a form of self-knowledge. Crème brûlée and Vov, the Italian egg liqueur, open it warm and gilded. Jasmine and burnt caramel soften the heart. Then oxidised iron, black vanilla and leather close it, a bruise turning into armour. Sorcinelli writes about violence that is physical, verbal or digital, and about the scars that outlast the bruises — wounds acknowledged and worn as dignity rather than hidden as flaws. The darkest UNUM yet, and the most deliberate.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
