HÆC DIES
Warmer myrrh, wood and vanilla meet peach and flowers, with a brighter aloe vera and citrus impression.
Perfumer: Filippo Sorcinelli
HÆC DIES takes the events of Easter as its inspiration. The official concept draws on the Gospel of Mark and the women’s astonishment at the stone rolled away from the tomb. Aromatic oils, sand and white linen supply images that connect the extrait de parfum with its bottle.
Vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli, amber and musk form the subject; cedar, peach, rose and myrrh the counter-subject. Aloe vera, bergamot, orange and jasmine make up the tail. Myrrh brings resinous depth around warmer wood and vanilla, while fruit, flowers and citrus add softer brightness.
The composition suggests warmer wood and resin with softer fruit and floral textures. The 100mL bottle has a rounded, pale sand-coloured body beneath a large disc-shaped cap. Its rough disc recalls the rolled-away tombstone, above the body’s thicker white base.
