Orto Parisi

The idea behind this brand is very simple: we have learned to ignore our body odor. What’s more, according to Orto Parisi, the brand’s owner, the stronger our body odor is, the less pleasant it becomes to us. But according to Parisi, the parts of the body that carry more scent are precisely those where more soul gathers. He also says that we experience our bodies as gardens, and that their scents are a true reflection of our souls. For those wondering, the result is a delicate, pleasant and elegant perfume fragrance. Eight fragrances for a new brand. Hearing Orto Parisi’s views for the first time may make the brand seem somewhat eccentric, but the fact is that it has really caught on and achieved enormous success. In just about five years, it has already created around eight fairly successful fragrances. So how did that happen? Well, the brand’s success can be attributed to two things. First, of course, there is the somewhat crazy mind of Orto Parisi, joined here by another somewhat crazy mind, that of a very well-known and highly successful figure in his field, Alessandro Gualtieri. The latter trained under German perfumers and built a successful career, lending his name to several perfume creations for leading fragrance and fashion brands such as Diesel, Versace and others. Yet despite niche brands and major designers joining forces with him, Gualtieri still felt - perhaps because of his somewhat extreme approach - that he wanted to create something of his own. So he chose to establish an independent brand, and that is how his brand, Nasomatto ("crazy head" in Italian), was born. Orto Parisi and Gualtieri came to Amsterdam, where they created an impressive collection that gives prominence to the scents of the body, with an emphasis on the true essence of nature. Although it may sound strange, you may be surprised to learn that they use suspended notes accompanied by floral scents. In these perfumes, they manage to blend Musk with spices and forest Atzi. The result is a precise combination of nature’s wonders and luxurious, unique raw materials.
