Orto Parisi Cuoium
Respect for leather and natural things
Cuoium, from 2021, is Orto Parisi's expression of love and respect for natural materials and for the legacy of leather, which the brand calls contemporary paganism. The house publishes no notes, so the leather in its description is a theme and a heritage, not a recipe we can open up. What the perfume itself does is left for your skin to say.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
A creed in leather
The brand's own wording is unusually direct: love and respect for natural materials and for what leather has meant over time, which it calls contemporary paganism. That is a philosophy more than a description, and it is all the house offers about the perfume's character. No pyramid, no ingredient list.
-
Liquid and packaging, kept apart
Part of what Orto Parisi describes belongs to the packaging, and it helps to separate it from the perfume. The bottle comes with a removable, reusable cover handmade from vegetable-tanned leather, and the rusted-metal cap has an inlaid logo of the same leather. You can see and touch these. They say nothing about what is in the bottle.
-
Judging what you spray
Because the notes are undisclosed, judge the liquid on its own terms. Take the cover off, spray once on skin, and let the scent develop without the associations a leather case may bring. Then wear it again on another day. A Parfum is concentrated, so a single spray is enough for a fair first impression.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Practical use
One or two sprays of this Parfum on the chest or the sides of the neck will do. The cover is removable and reusable, so you can keep the bottle in it or without it, whichever you prefer. The brand names no season or occasion for Cuoium, so let the weather and your mood guide you.
Who it is for
The brand does not assign Cuoium to a gender, so we list it as unisex. It speaks to people who care about materials, craft and a certain seriousness of idea, and who are content to meet a perfume without its formula. If you want a note list before you decide, this house will not offer one.
Why choose Orto Parisi Cuoium
Cuoium comes with an unusually complete object around it: a hand-finished rusted-metal cap and a reusable cover handmade from vegetable-tanned leather. It dates from 2021 and comes from Alessandro Gualtieri, who signs as The Nose. The house stands behind the idea even while the formula stays private.

Questions
Frequently asked
What are the notes?
They are not published. Orto Parisi says its perfumer does not reveal the notes, and for Cuoium it names only leather and natural materials as the idea. That is a theme, so we list no notes here.
Is the leather cover part of the perfume?
No. The removable, reusable cover is handmade from vegetable-tanned leather and belongs to the packaging. It tells you about the bottle, not about what is inside it.
What concentration and size is it?
It is a Parfum in a 50 ml bottle. Parfum is a rich, concentrated form, so a small amount is enough and one spray is a fair first test.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
