Viride - extrait de parfum

For Orto Parisi, perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri takes inspiration from the lush vegetable garden of his grandfather, Vincenzo Parisi. Thus, Orto means vegetable garden in Italian. The fragrance Viride is transparant, green, elegant and leans masculine.

But don’t mistake green for bright and light: this is warm woody fragrance, combined with a bit of spices. A dark and mysterious green perfume that is unmistakably made by the hands of The Nose: Alessandro Gualtieri.

Orto Parisi by perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri a.k.a. The Nose, is his second brand, after Nasomatto. Alessandro lives and works in Amsterdam, where he makes his intriguing creations: great unusual, strong and longlasting extrait de parfums. The name Orto Parisi refers to the lush and fertile vegetable garden of his grandfather. Alessandro about Orto Parisi: “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. This project is my garden I have planted, fertilized, cultivated, and harvested."
