Orto Parisi is a visionary niche fragrance house created by Alessandro Gualtieri the master perfumer also behind the cult brand Nasomatto. Orto Parisi translates to "Parisi's Garden," named after Gualtieri's grandfather. The brand explores the raw, primal, and elemental aspects of nature and humanity. Stercus was launched in 2014 the name is Latin for "dung" or "manure," a direct reference to the natural fertilizer that enriches soil and enables life to flourish. The fragrance explores the paradox that the smell of waste is also the smell of fertility, of new beginnings, of the infinite circle of life. Stercus never lies. A part of the essential body functioning and a natural way to fertilize the soil. It is the secret sweetness that attracts, and the animalic side that offends. A sign of an infinite life circle. The smell of an end and the beginning. When considering Orto Parisi Parfum for your collection, customers will understand that Stercus is smooth and leathery, animalic and dirty but in a good way.

Those smells that seem simultaneously repulsive and attractive draw us in. This scent does something to people, it magnetises them, like when you don't want to look but at the same time you can't look away. That is how this scent smells love it or hate it, you need to keep going back to it. The flask-inspired bottle features a label made of Savile Row tweed paper.
