Eau de Cologne type fragrances are usually very fleeting and fade after a short time. The Nose wanted to create an extremely persistent hesperides note and used a raw material mainly from Italy. Bergamask is the citrus fragrance with the longest presence ever created in this category .
The meaning of sweat plays a big role in the creation of this fragrance. Sweat is an authentic expression of a person's current state: how he feels, what he has eaten, the state of his body, his habits, the speed of his movement. Sweat is an indicator of the potential for affection between two people. The right person can be recognized among thousands of others through the sense of smell. Sweat wears no mask, it can be perceived as extremely attractive or terribly repulsive.
PACKAGING THAT LEADS TO NEW DISCOVERIESAll ORTO PARISI fragrances are hidden in a box that unfolds in individual facets and has an opening in the middle that suggests infinity. The Bergamask fragrance floats in a glass bottle with an antique gold cap and a light horn inlay. The label made of natural white paper has the feel of 'Savile Row Tweed' and has an extremely fine herringbone structure.
KEY ASPECTS OF ORTO PARISI
PLEASANT versus STRONG SMELLS ATTRACTION versus REJECTION
Two notes are included in all fragrances: 'PISSE DE CHEVAL' and 'BOYA BUTTER'. Boya butter is the butter from precious agarwood that forms in the heartwood of trees of the genus Aquilaria when they are infected with a special form of mold. The heartwood is odorless, thin and light before infection. After infection, it turns dark and produces an extremely aromatic resin called agar, also known as 'oud'. First-grade agarwood is one of the most expensive natural raw materials in the world. The smell of agarwood is complex and intoxicating, and there are hardly any other substances that come close to it. Behind the so-called 'pisse de cheval' lies the organic component p-cresol, which is produced by bacterial fermentation of human protein and is excreted in the feces and urine. It is also a component of tobacco smoke and human sweat, which attracts female mosquitoes. In the Orto Parisi collection, p-Cresol plays a role in the creation of repulsive and attractive notes. It is an essential component in the odor of pigs and is produced by male elephants during the mating season. It is one of the rare components that attracts Euglossini - or orchid bees - and has been used extensively in this context to capture and study the species. A repulsive lure that brings to life the hidden scent of the soul. These two basic components, crafted with the utmost subtlety, represent the contradiction between attraction and repulsion in a balanced combination with other raw materials. They invite those who smell the scents on an infinite journey to discover life through the sense of smell.
