Description
Brutus by Orto Parisi opens with a vibrant and invigorating burst of citrus, primarily bergamot and mandarin orange, offering a fresh yet commanding introduction. As it settles, a refined aromatic heart emerges, blending classic notes of lavender, geranium, and rose, which add a sophisticated balance. The fragrance then deepens into a rich, earthy, and woody base, where patchouli, cedar, and oakmoss are softened by amber, labdanum, and a subtle musk, creating a powerful and enduring trail. This scent masterfully juxtaposes initial freshness with a profound, grounded warmth, making it both bold and elegantly composed. Perfumer: Alessandro Gualtieri

Orto Parisi is an artistic niche perfume house founded in 2014 by perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri as a tribute to his grandfather and his fertile garden, treating the human body itself as a "garden" of raw, natural odors. The brand’s philosophy celebrates primal, instinctive, and often taboo aspects of scent, exploring the line between attraction and repulsion through bold compositions inspired by sweat, soil, and other intense facets of life. Known for highly concentrated, long-lasting fragrances with animalic, earthy, and resinous notes, Orto Parisi targets fragrance connoisseurs who appreciate provocative, conceptual perfumery that challenges conventional notions of cleanliness and beauty.
