ORTO PARISI

Orto Parisi is an Italian perfume brand started by Alessandro Gualtieri in 2014. Gualtieri, who also owns the Nasomatto brand, is known for being a bold and unconventional figure in the perfume industry. He named the brand after his great-grandfather, Vincenzo Parisi, and his beloved garden, where he spent many years. Gualtieri cherished every plant in the garden, which he describes as having a timeless quality. He believes that the vegetables and fruits grown there with care and love are the best he has ever tasted.

The brand's fragrances are not only scents but also reflect philosophical ideas about life and our connection to the world around us.

• Base Notes: Musk and earthy undertones.

Megamare is like diving into the depths of the ocean—it’s powerful, fresh, and full of mystery. It’s not just the smell of the sea; it’s the feeling of standing on the edge of the vast unknown. The mix of salty air and musky undertones creates a long-lasting and unforgettable scent

• Top Notes: Smoky birch, tangy raspberry, and resinous warmth.
• Heart Notes: Rich soil, vetiver, and guaiac wood.
• Base Notes: Moss, patchouli, amber, and vanilla.

Terroni feels like walking barefoot on volcanic soil—grounded yet fiery. It was inspired by the volcanic landscapes of southern Italy, celebrating a raw connection to the earth. The smoky and earthy notes are balanced with a touch of sweetness from amber and vanilla.

4. Orto Parisi Boccanera (2014)
