Description
A tribute to the ancestral know-how linked to the leather crafts, Cuoium is a powerful fragrance combining the character of leather with the warmth of incense and the sweetness of violet, revived by the citrus freshness of mandarin. The fragrance is enhanced by a rusted metal cap inlaid with a vegetable-tanned leather logo. Among the Orto Parisi fragrances, Cuoium is the only fragrance to be sold with a removable and reusable vegetable leather cover.
AUTHOR – ALESSANDRO GUALTIERI
Alessandro Gualtieri is an Italian perfumer who is known for his avant-garde approach to creating fragrances. He learned perfumery through a combination of formal studies in Germany and outside lessons from an Italian ex-pat he met at a bar. He built his reputation by working with major fashion brands such as Fendi, Versace, Helmut Lang, and Diesel before founding his own perfume line, Nasomatto, in Amsterdam.
What sets Gualtieri apart from other perfumers is his refusal to publish ingredient lists for his fragrances. Instead, he chooses to describe the inspiration behind each scent, allowing the line to first communicate each scent’s creative essence and leaving the actual notes for the wearer to contemplate over time.
Some of Gualtieri’s notable fragrances include Duro, which is his interpretation of masculinity and aims to enhance all the manifestations of strength. Another popular fragrance is Black Afgano, which is inspired by the scent of hashish and is known for its smoky, earthy aroma.
Overall, Gualtieri’s unique approach to perfumery has earned him a loyal following and established him as one of the most creative and daring noses in the industry.
