Orto Parisi Terroni
Hands in the soil, roots that stay
Terroni, from 2017, is Orto Parisi's Parfum about earth: the feeling of pushing your hands into soil and belonging to the ground you stand on. The house gives no notes for it, so there is no list to study. What it offers is a feeling and three words, soil, earth and roots, and the rest is left for you to find on your own skin.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Hands in the earth
The brand builds Terroni on a simple image: hands pushed into soil, a sense of belonging to the earth. Roots, it says, shape a character and stay burned into you. That is the character the house gives the perfume, stated as a feeling rather than as ingredients, since none are listed.
-
Stone on the cap
The bottle repeats the theme in material. The cap is tumbled gun-metal with inlaid volcanic stone, which the brand chose to stand for the very beginning of the Earth. Orto Parisi itself is named after a garden, the one belonging to the founder's grandfather Vincenzo Parisi, so soil sits close to the house's own origin.
-
Try it warm
Because the notes are undisclosed, let your skin make the introduction. Spray the inside of a wrist, hold it away from your nose for a moment, then come back to it. A Parfum is dense and reads differently as it warms, so give the first impression time to make way for what follows.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Wearing Terroni
A Parfum is concentrated, so one or two sprays are enough: the chest, the neck or the inside of the wrists. Put it on clean, dry skin and leave it to settle on its own. The brand sets no season or occasion, so decide for yourself when a perfume about earth feels right.
Who will enjoy it
The brand names no gender, so treat it as unisex. It is for people who like a perfume to carry an idea and who do not mind not knowing the recipe. If you need ingredients in front of you to decide, Terroni will not give you that, but it may reward some patience.
Why choose Orto Parisi Terroni
It is a perfume with a clear point of view and a maker behind it: Alessandro Gualtieri, who signs as The Nose and works in Italy. The metal-and-stone cap is hand-finished. Terroni dates from 2017, a few years after the house's first perfumes of 2014.

Questions
Frequently asked
What are the notes?
Not published. According to the brand's FAQ the perfumer keeps the notes of his creations to himself, and for Terroni the brand offers only the idea of soil, earth and roots. We would rather say so than guess.
What does Parfum mean here?
Parfum is a high concentration, richer than an Eau de Parfum. Terroni comes in a 50 ml bottle; expect a dense scent where a couple of sprays are plenty.
Is it a good gift?
Only for someone who likes to discover a perfume without a note list. With no pyramid to describe, it suits a lover of ideas more than someone after a safe, familiar choice.

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
