Orto Parisi is a project founded by Alessandro Gualtieri, creator of another distinctive brand – Nasomatto (Crazy Nose). Born in Italy, Alessandro Gualtieri began his career as a student of historic perfumery techniques at a German training institute, an education that was quickly supplemented with lessons from an experienced Italian ex-pat he met in the town’s only bar. Gualtieri’s philosophy contends that our sensory perceptions are the major catalysts behind all human action and decision-making. As a result, he designs his scents to reinforce certain feelings in the wearer.
Collection of fragrances inspired by the raw scents of life: of the body and the earth, from the garden located in Puglia (« orto » meaning « garden » in Italian) where the creator used to spend his summers together with his grandfather, Vincenzo Parisi.
Orto Parisi states that our body is experienced like a garden, and its smells are a true mirror of our soul. Refined and sophisticated, these fragrances reproduce the natural body smells we're not used to anymore because the excess of soul is intolerable to the extent that our innate animalism is repressed and breaking from civilization.
Each fragrance bottle is embellished with a unique cap, made of a material that connects to the theme of the fragrance.
