Description
Seminalis by Orto Parisi is a truly distinctive fragrance that opens with a unique lactonic accord, offering a creamy and slightly sweet introduction that feels both intimate and intriguing. As it develops, a delicate floral heart of carnation and lily of the valley emerges, softened by a hint of juicy raspberry, adding a touch of unexpected vibrancy. The scent then settles into a rich, complex base where warm woods like cedar, sandalwood, and patchouli intertwine with supple leather, a whisper of vanilla and sugar, and a bold, animalic muskiness from civet and castoreum, creating a deeply sensual and skin-like finish. This is a scent that challenges conventions, designed to evoke primal attraction and a profound connection to our most natural instincts. Perfumer: Alessandro Gualtieri

MuskAbout ORTO PARISI
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.
