The sea is a unity and limitless at the same time. It doesn't need to be explained. Ambiguous and powerful, elegant and fragile... The sea tolerates no contradiction or opposition. Let it guide you.
A feeling beyond time. This fragrance is like the echo of an infinite breath. Megamare promises everything and nothing - here, there, everywhere. It takes its wearer to new shores and invites them to discover new things and go deeper. Through its salty layers, this composition leads to crystal-clear, sacred places and to gray shallows that reflect our weaknesses and strengths, fears and desires. Ultimately, the sea does not need many words. Trying to explain it completely denies its mysteries, weighs down the movement and stifles the reaches of the eternally unknown. The little that we know is inside this perfume bottle and corresponds exactly to the amount that is possible and necessary to expand our idea of the sea. Megamare is an olfactory contemplation of the sea.
PACKAGING THAT LEADS TO NEW DISCOVERIESAll ORTO PARISI fragrances are hidden in a box that unfolds in individual facets and in the middle suggests an opening towards infinity. Megamare floats in a glass bottle. Its cap made of polished silver metal bears traces of greenish corrosion, such as that caused by salt water, and a shell as an 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.
