SALT / HINOKI

Extrait de Parfum

A beautiful incense: cold, metallic, sharp, transparent, glassy. Predominant Hinoki note, a wood used to build temple roofs in Japan and which is considered a sacred wood. Beyond the historical note, hinoki gives the perfume a camphor, earthy character, which is that very same one you breathe on the hills around Atri village.

Standing there, one can smell the salt coming from the sea and reaching through the hills to the alleys of the village of Atri, located more than 400 meters above the level of the Adriatic Sea. The soul of Nox dances in the shadows and over the ancient village, illuminated by the moon and the glow of lanterns, the rich and balsamic notes of precious woods, bathed in a floral and salty accord, whisper in the night breeze. As it sits, the scent evolves into a sweeter and more quiet bottom.

Nox means night. The beauty of the village wrapped in darkness with its centuries-old secrets is the inspiration of the olfactory combination of this parfum. You can sense the smell of salt that comes from the sea and reaches, through the hills, the alleys of the village.

Inspiration: dance in the solstice.

"In the countryside, the witches illuminate the darkness of the winter solstice night.

With their dances and rituals, they fill the silence atop the hill—bells on their ankles, drums, and laughter. Young women, their loose hair capturing the scent of the watchful sea and the salt in the air. With their bare feet, they spread the bitter scent of the grass on the hills of the village of Atri. The witches conclude their ceremony; the drums and bells fade into the night, the laughter and chants cease, and only silence remains. A balsamic, mineral aroma lingers, bathed in flowers and salt under the watchful moon, sweet and serene. Nox, which means "night" in Latin, is a tribute to a magical night, full of beliefs and shadows, opening with sharp hinoki wood and softening into a sweet, salty whisper".

A SYMBOL OF ARTISTRY

The iconic sculpture cap is a tribute to the uniqueness of the artisan mindset and the handmade masterpieces. The rose window, symbol and signature of the entire collection, represents the endless dialogue between the sacred and the profane; craftsmanship and nobility; superstition and mysticism; ancient customs and modernity.

Inspired by the intricate rose window of the Basilica Concattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (or Atri Cathedral), located in the heart of Atri, Italy. This architectural masterpiece holds deep significance as the city where the brand was originally established, reflecting a perfect harmony between art, heritage, and the spirit of perfumery.
