Orto Parisi emerged in 2014 from the deeply personal vision of Alessandro Gualtieri, the mastermind behind Nasomatto. The Italian perfumer, known as "The Nose," drew inspiration from childhood memories of his grandfather Vincenzo Parisi. In his grandfather's garden ('orto' in Italian) in Puglia, Gualtieri spent summers experiencing a world of raw, unfiltered scents.

The brand rests on an unusual philosophy: our bodies are like gardens, and their smells mirror our souls. Gualtieri believes that body parts carrying stronger scents collect more soul. Strong smells have become unpleasant only because civilization represses our natural animalism.

Orto Parisi transcends typical fragrance brands - it's a statement advocating for inner self-expression through natural scents. The brand challenges conventional perfumery norms, creating compositions that often polarize audiences. Each fragrance tells a story about human existence and our relationship with nature. This uncompromising approach makes Orto Parisi one of the boldest names in niche perfumery.

Gualtieri announced he would focus entirely on Orto Parisi, moving away from adding to his Nasomatto collection. This Amsterdam-based brand, rooted in Southern Italian inspiration, represents his most personal artistic statement.

The Orto Parisi collection features exceptional Extraits de Parfum, all presented in distinctive 50ml bottles. Megamare stands as the brand's flagship - an oceanic powerhouse with salty accords and synthetic molecules that captures the raw essence of ocean depths. Its nuclear performance makes it one of the most intense aquatic fragrances ever created.

Terroni honors the volcanic earth of Southern Italy with smoky, earthy notes reminiscent of glowing logs. Boccanera combines dark chocolate with fiery spices, creating a seductive balance between sweetness and darkness. This fragrance was a finalist in the 2015 Art & Olfaction Awards.

Cuoium from 2021 celebrates raw leather with smoky and animalic undertones. The bottle even comes with a removable vegetable-tanned leather cover. Bergamask contrasts Calabrian bergamot with animalic musk, while Seminalis offers a milky-creamy composition as the brand's "first stimulant."

The newest addition Risvelium from 2025 explores spiritual themes, bridging grapefruit with earthy undertones. All fragrances can be tested as samples before committing to full sizes, which is essential given their challenging and often extreme nature.

Orto Parisi fragrances aren't for the faint-hearted - they challenge, polarize, and leave lasting impressions. These animalic compositions by Alessandro Gualtieri deliberately push beyond conventional perfumery boundaries. Each fragrance makes an olfactory statement about human authenticity and natural sensuality.
