Stercus is an olfactory reference to excrement, the name of the fragrance goes back to the Latin term. Alessandro sees it as an essential part of the cycle of life - feces are a fertilizer of natural origin, and they don't lie.
As a link between the end and the beginning of life, they are the body's waste products and promote the creation of new plant life. In this respect, they are an absolutely authentic and natural element.
Feces exude the pure smell of life and sameness. All differences end with the excretion of something universal. All organisms produce waste, and so does man, whether peasant or king. Meanwhile, we are all the same and so is what we eat. Emptying the bowels is one of the basic bodily functions and is a first indicator of health. Doctors refer to excretions to assess digestion and its organs. It is generally recommended to rely on one's gut.
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 Stercus fragrance floats in a glass bottle with a cap made of polished bronze metal and an inlay made of brown horn. 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.
