Terroni - extrait de parfum

Terroni by Orto Parisi is an intense, expressive and unique fragrance full of character. Unmistakably created by the signature of The Nose; Alessandro Gualtieri.

The perfumer’s inspiration for Terroni: “The World began with an explosion. The terrain was created by a burning volcanic lava swallowing the surface underneath. There’s something powerful and fulfilling about putting your hands in the soil, the sense of belonging to Earth. In order to develop a natural beauty one needs to bind with traditions and grow strong roots to maintain the true light of Self. The roots play a strong part in the growth and development of a character.”

The cap on this perfume bottle reflects this inspiration: a gun metal case with volcanic rock inlay.

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."
