Orto Parisi Cuoium Parfum

$36300
Size

A tribute to the ancestral know-how linked to the leather crafts, Orto Parisi's 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.

EDITOR'S NOTES

From cuoio, ‘leather’ in Italian. If the dark encasing didn’t give it away, this fragrance explores leather as a phenomenon: a product of human hands and tools which make contact with animal hide. Leather is worked and loved – material is made supple with hard work. It recapitulates human history, an initial turn towards refinement whilst calling to mind tanneries, smoke, and floral scented leather. The intense olfactory contrast of untreated skin is trailed by the pure and faint scent of flowers and citruses. Its power rings a potent and memorable sound, deep and resonant with smoke notes of cade and incense. It is a spicy, animalic, earthy, and determined fragrance.

A perfume that begins ‘in media res’

You find yourself amidst lush Italian countryside — hay, violet and laurel pulsing with the low arid wind, distant mandarin trees and wildflowers releasing a humming florality and innocence, and the smoke of incense rising against the spire of a nearby monastery. You find yourself amidst lush Italian countryside, knife in hand as you eviscerate the freshly slain underbelly of a cow hung by rope — oxygenated blood spilling into oak buckets and congealing at its base.

There is then an instant departure from this fresh and peculiar opening, as this is definitely a perfume and not an olfactory assault. The developing leather of Cuoium becomes impregnated with the thick musk, sweat and androgens of the burly tanner. Bitter herbal and floral tones emerge — a reminder of the diet of the slain beast, with resinous, oily and metallic facets dissipating as the leather ages on the skin.

In this way, Cuoium is a perfume whose story begins in media res — we see the conception of the leather through to its end. This is surprisingly wearable, as in the air Cuoium has a dark and musky allure, but just be sure not to overspray!

Too much leather is a headache

So, remember Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather? Civet pee and cocaine? This is Orto Parisi doing it. Just whiney, sharp and anxiety-inducing violet leaf/leather. Aqua Di Parma's Leather is what you're looking for, but you went too far and bought this instead.
