Orto Parisi

Orto Parisi, founded in 2014 by perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, is an Italian niche fragrance brand renowned for bold, earthy, and unisex scents inspired by Gualtieri's childhood experiences in his grandfather's garden in Puglia, Italy. The brand emphasizes capturing natural, raw, and animalistic aromas often overlooked or suppressed in contemporary perfumery, aiming to evoke profound emotions and vivid memories through each fragrance.

Prominent scents from Orto Parisi include Brutus, known for its aromatic blend of patchouli and citrus notes; Boccanera, a gourmand-inspired fragrance with notes of dark chocolate and chili pepper; and Terroni, featuring earthy, volcanic tones reminiscent of Mediterranean landscapes. The brand's recent addition, Risvelium (2025), explores spiritual themes, incorporating notes like grapefruit, pineapple, and amber, designed to bridge physical sensations with spiritual reflections. Other significant fragrances, such as Viride, offer fresh, herbal tones, while Stercus boldly embraces earthy, animalistic characteristics.

Positioned firmly within the luxury niche market, Orto Parisi has cultivated a dedicated following, sold through high-end retailers and its official channels. While the brand receives acclaim for its daring originality and emotional depth, community feedback occasionally highlights mixed views on fragrance longevity and performance. Nevertheless, Orto Parisi continues to hold significant appeal for fragrance enthusiasts seeking uniquely memorable and provocative olfactory experiences.
