Fragrance information:

Immerse yourself in the world of bold and avant-garde fragrances with Orto Parisi Cuoium, released in 2021.

This perfume is part of the personal manifesto of the brand Orto Parisi, created by a visionary in the perfume world, where each composition tells a deep story.

As a perfume extract, Cuoium offers a rich and long-lasting formula, perfectly suited for those seeking something more than just a scent.

How to Wear and Dose Cuoium

Being a unisex fragrance, Cuoium invites both men and women to experience its powerful character.

Its noticeable sillage leaves a bright impression, so dosing requires attention: on the skin, we recommend entering the cloud with moderate spraying, and on clothing — from 1 to 2 sprays to emphasize elegance without overdoing it.

The fragrance is ideal for cool evenings or special occasions, where its leather depth unfolds in all its glory.

Inspiration and Creator Behind the Fragrance

Behind Cuoium is the genius of Alessandro Gualtieri, a perfumer known for his alchemical approach to creating fragrances.

His work with Orto Parisi reflects a drive for experimentation and emotional richness, making each release a unique statement in the world of perfumery.

Cuoium, as part of this philosophy, enhances the brand's reputation as a pioneer in niche and bold compositions.

If Cuoium has caught your interest, pay attention to similar fragrances: Byredo Baudelaire with its poetic leather, Zara Vibrant Leather For Her for a more affordable option, and Mugler Alien Les Parfums de Cuir, combining leather notes with floral accents.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The pyramid of Orto Parisi Cuoium is built around a powerful leather accord that dominates all stages of the fragrance's development.

This accord, belonging to leather notes and leather families, creates an atmosphere of luxury and brutality, reminiscent of antique leather furniture or a new leather belt.

At the start, the fragrance may seem intense and slightly smoky, but as it develops on the skin, it softens, revealing warm and almost animalic shades, which is characteristic of high-quality leather compositions.

The absence of distinct top, middle, and base notes emphasizes a minimalist approach, where the leather accord performs solo, inviting one to enjoy its purity and depth.

This structure makes Cuoium an ideal choice for connoisseurs of monochromatic and strong fragrances who appreciate the art of perfumery alchemy.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Friends, for me, the question of what Cuoium is similar to has already been resolved. In the "similarity" rating, everything you need to know about Gualtieri's new fragrance is already listed. It is, in essence, Nudiflorum, planted on the leathery bitter soil of Complex and watered with Laudano Nero for rapid growth. It's all simple. If you are familiar with these three fragrances, you can easily imagine Cuoium. Don't look for the earthy and smoky notes of Terroni here. The smoke here is completely different. And, of course, there's no Black Afgano or Duro either. It's like a purified Nudiflorum and a once wild, but now tamed Complex.

To be fair, I must say that I liked Orto Parisi's new fragrance. It is accessible to perception, which is also important. But Complex is difficult for me to wear because of its animalistic essence. And it's not just about animality, although there's plenty of it in isobutylquinoline. It's truly complex for me. I can't stand it for more than two hours; I want to get rid of it. And the feeling afterward, however crude it may sound, is as if someone hit you hard. This is not the most pleasant feeling, even when talking about smells.

As for Nudiflorum, it's too loud, even when applied in minimal amounts. This doesn't diminish its beauty and elegance, but for me, it's a challenging fragrance, and our relationship can hardly be called warm. But Cuoium, successfully combining these two elements, adds an alcoholic sweetness and a slightly smoked fruity smokiness from Laudano Nero, creating a holistic and complete olfactory canvas. For this mastery, Signore Alessandro deserves special respect. This is truly a beautiful fragrance that will be a revelation for many. Someone has already called it the "closure of the leather theme" in perfumery, perhaps by analogy with Megamare "closing the aquatic theme." I don't agree with that. My search for the ideal leather fragrance

Leather in the composition - that's really interesting. It's intriguing what kind of texture it will be: soft and cozy, or tough, like leather accessories. The bottle looks mysterious, making you want to know more

This fragrance is just awful, but at the same time, it's somehow alluring. It has its own unique beauty, unlike anything else, but it's so heavy and suffocating. It's like having a leather blanket thrown over you that you can't get rid of. It either repels you instantly or makes you fall in love with it from the first sniff, and then there's no escaping this curse. All you can think about is it until you buy this bottle. And even if you wear it rarely, it still has to be on the shelf, as a reminder that such things exist 😒

After COVID, my perception of scents hasn't been smooth, but here's what I can say: bergamot with creosote is clearly felt in the foreground. And also, the perfume got on my sweater, and a week has passed, and I've worn it a couple of times. The smell still lingers, although the creosote is gone, and I can't quite describe what's left, but I really like it! It's a shame my wife considers it the worst scent of her life. A real pity, because I'd gladly use it

The fragrance is simply amazing, you can really smell the leather. Although, in my opinion, there's something spicy in it. In autumn, under a coat and a stylish stole, it will be perfect, I recommend trying it 🍂

In the pyramid, there's only a leather accord, but in reality, you can hear something more. Some smoke, tobacco. If you think about Dutch production, Black Afgano immediately comes to mind

I tested this creation. The bottle, undoubtedly, creates an atmosphere befitting its name, but it also evokes fear upon touch and isn't pleasing to the eye. The design reminded me of a film that left an unpleasant aftertaste. The scent itself somewhat resembles Black Afgano and Terroni, all in the same vein. You can feel smoke, leather, and even cannabis has crept in. I feel that something important is slipping away, and that brings sadness

Señor Alessandro, as always, keeps us in the dark about his fragrances. He only hints at the composition through press releases, and everything else remains in our heads and imagination, based on personal experience, be it perfumery or social. And this case is no exception. The brief mentions leather, but what exactly he added to this mix - we'll only find out later. All that's left is to wait and hope. Sales start on October 3rd

The fragrance truly impresses with its strength and richness. It's as if it envelops you in smoke and char, and also adds notes of leather and charcoal. Dried fruits give it an interesting nuance. I think men who understand perfumery can truly appreciate it, as you won't go unnoticed with such a scent 😏 I tried applying it to my fingertips to catch the sillage in motion, but unfortunately, I didn't notice any changes. For a couple of hours, my fingers exuded the smell of burnt wood, and then the scent gradually faded. Of course, water and soap also did their part
