Seminalis is a stimulant packaged in a perfume bottle. Alessandro Gualtieri was inspired to create this product by a study that showed that human sperm can detect certain smells. Female eggs give off a smell that sperm cells are attracted to.
Seminalis provides proof that life arose thanks to smells and olfactory attraction. And this composition is a scent of life in the truest sense of the word. It contains bourgeonal, an aromatic aldehyde that guides the sperm to the egg to create new life. The chemical attractant makes the sperm move there at twice the speed. The watery odorous substance is reminiscent of the aroma of lily of the valley and is more likely to be perceived by men than women. From an olfactory perspective, Seminalis is an extremely animalistic fragrance with an exceptionally milky side that symbolizes the bodily secretions involved in the creation of life.
Seminalis sees itself as a significant contribution to the attraction between men and women and to the creation of new life.
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 Seminalis fragrance floats in a glass bottle with a cap made of polished silver metal and an inlay made of semi-transparent Bakelite. 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.
