ORTO PARISI

Orto Parisi is a perfume brand founded by perfumer and owner of the Nasomatto brand Alessandro Gualtieri in 2014. “This brand was conceived as a dedication to what inspired me. At first, I was going to write a biography of this person, but while I was working on it, I realized that it was boring. Besides, I myself do not like reading anyone’s biographies. The idea of ​​these fragrances came from the fact that my great-grandfather Vincenzo Parisi collected the waste of his natural needs in buckets to then fertilize the plants in the garden, enveloped in a sense of infinity. Therefore, Orto Parisi is a dedication to my great-grandfather and to all those who try to capture time, creating and spreading the scent of life.” “The parts of the body with the most expressive smell are the center of the human soul. Such smells have become socially unacceptable, since too much soul often symbolizes an excess of primordial animalism, suppressed in order not to separate from civilization. This project is my garden, which I planted, fertilized, nurtured, and which yielded a harvest. The goal of Orto Parisi is to show that the body is a garden and its scents are a reflection of the soul." Founder and perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. Contrary to possible impressions and expectations from Gualtieri's direct speech, the fragrances do not seem excessively dirty or dedicated to what Alessandro spoke about.
