Launched in 2011 by the rigorously avant garde "scent artist" Alessandro Gualtieri, Orto Parisi emerged as the provocative second act following his groundbreaking Nasomatto brand. Where Nasomatto challenged traditional perfumery conventions, Orto Parisi ventures into even more audacious territory, drawing inspiration from the raw, primal scents of human existence and memories of Gualtieri's youth spent on his grandfather Vincenzo's farm in Italy.
The Orto Parisi collection explores the unfiltered essence of our animal nature through compositions that celebrate the bodily and earthy aromas civilized society has taught us to suppress. Each fragrance in this fearlessly intimate line challenges our relationship with scent itself, embracing the powerful olfactory memories that connect us to our most fundamental selves.
"...The parts of the body that carry more smell are those where more soul is collected. The strong smells have become unpleasant to us, because the excess of soul is intolerable to the extent that our innate animalism is repressed and breaking from civilization." — Alessandro Gualtieri, Orto Parisi
