Orto Parisi
Orto Parisi by perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri a.k.a. The Nose, is his second brand, after Nasomatto. Alessandro lives and works in Amsterdam, where he makes his intriguing creations: great unusual, strong and longlasting extrait de parfums. The name Orto Parisi refers to the lush and fertile vegetable garden of his grandfather.
Perfume Lounge is the only official retail partner in Amsterdam and The Netherlands of this beautiful artistic brand since 2014.
Alessandro about Orto Parisi: “The parts of the body that carry more smell are those where more soul is collected. The strong smells have become unpleasant to us, because the excess of soul is intolerable to the extent that our innate animalism is repressed and breaking from civilization. This project is my garden I have planted, fertilized, cultivated, and harvested."

In the world of perfumery few dare to dig as deep – into the earth, into memory, into instinct – as Alessandro Gualtieri, The Nose. Rooted in rawness and personal philosophy Orto Parisi blurs the lines between nature, art and the human experience. This is not just about niche perfumery, it’s about what it means to feel, to remember, to exist.
Orto Parisi: The garden of niche and artistic perfumery
Yes, a garden. Alessandro Gualtieri’s inspiration for Orto Parisi is grounded is his grandfather’s fragrant garden. The whole line of long lasting extrait de parfums, are a true translation of the place where wild herbs perfumed the air and the very soil seemed to breathe. Even musk that leaves the skin after labor and the salty sea water that hits the minerals are pure fuel for inspiration.
Alessandro, the visionary of this niche perfume house, transforms these memories and inspirations into bold artistic fragrances. Capturing the unfiltered beauty of southern Italy through masterful blending, daring notes and innovative accords.
