No not really Francis kurkdjian makes amazing fragrances that are mass appealing , Alessandro gaultieri is more artistic and daring , most of his creations are not mass appealing
A. Gualtieri creates phenomenons. Absolutely agree. Nasomatto and Orto Parisi lines are gorgeous in my opinion. This is phenomenal perfumery constructed fabulously in a very original way, to be very fair. Bergamask is on my life perfumery wish list.
Your scientific breakdowns by molecules, how you feel, what you smell, and neutral perspectives towards potential customers is amazing! I trust that I can make a blind purchase and be happy with it.
Orto Parisi is real niche at the correct price. Brutus and Megamare are already in my collection and Bergamask will be my next one for the spring/summer, Aaron thx for the great passionate review as always!
Nasomatto and Orto Parisi are the definition of niche for me, the high levels of expensive naturals and aroma chemicals, the weird concepts/names, the gorgeous packaging and bottles...of course there are other true niche brands out there but there's a reason Gualtieri's creations are so popular. The only problem I think is that some of them (like Bergamask and Megamare) are just TOO strong, 2 sprays and you are the center of attention everywhere you go.
I am so happy to have a review of one of the Orto Parisi fragrances by Aaron finally. I waited it for long time. I think that the parfumer, Alessandro Gualtieri, the nose of Nasomatto and Orto Parisi fragrances is absolutely genial. His fragrances are unique, exciting, creative. I am a professional classical musician and Bergamask is really like a complex symphonie as you told. I hope that you will review more of the Orto Parisi line. Thanks for your amazing reviews Aaron!
Aaron, you are the best fragrance reviewer on RU-vid. Every review is like a super glorious story telling. I am surprised it took me so long to find you. May I ask to list your top 5 fragrances.
i watched a review by a woman about Bergamask. One of the things she mentioned (aside from getting unexpected compliments), she sprayed it on one of her cloth and keep it in an enclosed 'space' and never wear the cloth again. The cloth still smell of Bergamask until at the time she did her review which more than a year has passed.
I'd love to see more reviews from this fantastic perfumer and both brands - Nasomatto and Orto Parisi! I feel like these brands are really for you as they're so artsy and unique, and even if they don't quite hit your taste, I'm sure you'll appreciate the creativity and uniqueness of each of them. I'll never forget your review of Nasomatto Pardon, the best thing ever! Nasomatto China White and Orto Parisi Cuoium are two that I'd love to see here.
Hi Aaron. Than you for the review. I am looking forward to seeing your opinion about Uncut Gem from Frederic Malle. I kinda like it but the reviewers didn't actually.
lovely fragrance, great in the summer, this is a beast performer, i love the orto parisi's , my favourite is Terroni, nice review. (the sister house is nasomatto/both brands made by the charismatic Mr Alessandro Gualtieri)
Hi Aaron, as an Italian guy, I'm very proud of Alessandro Gualtieri, the Nose and author of Nasomatto and Orto Parisi's lines. I also think you seem to have many similarities with him. I'm thinking about his earnestness, passion for the materials and products themselves, and down to earth personality in a sense. But, on a higher level, artistically, many of the concepts and names of his fragrances are provoking, sexual and dirty, like yours. I kinda think he Is a kindred spirit to you, and I definitely look forward your reviews on works like Stercus (shit in latin), Brutus, Cuoium or Terroni (a demeaning nickname by which the northern Italians used to call the southern ones, which Parisi himself Is). But all of them are meaningful. I hope you'll keep exploring them!
I’ve heard Megamare is Nuclear in performance?! Bergamask is Bonkers in the performance category, 1 tiny spray projected insanely off my skin for 3+ hrs and 12+ hrs longevity
This is my signature fragrance, so I sometimes max my version with the fragrances in parentheses. I get a lot of compliments on the streets of New York. Top notes: Bergamot, and Lemon; Middle notes: Lavender, Orange Blossom (Petitgrain), and Lily of the Valley; Base notes: Musk (Ambrette), Cedar (Hinoki), and Tonka
Aaron, you've probably been told this but if you like Bergamask but have a love for more oriental notes, you really must try and review Boccanera by Orto Parisi... IMO delicious and totally unique.
Please please pleaseee review Brutus by Orto Parisi because its the perfume that got me into the road of perfume collecting but the notes aren’t that clear to me and i would love to see your review of it ❤ much love
Brutus has citrus notes, like bergamot, orange or mandarin, and mostly Patchouli underneath. The 1-2 punch Is this combo. I also seems to detect some roundness in the base, like Sandal, but I'm far from capable enough to assess It.
Having few of Orto Parisi and Nasomatto fragrances it's all you need. Nasomatto could produce 50ml bottles but ... Maybe some mass appealing designer and that's it.
Just ordered some fragrances from your website, beyond excited to try them! If they are as good as I'm expecting I'll ditch my designer scents and commit to your brand!
Many thanks to you for that technical, acurate, yet sensitive review of this great "Bergamask" from Alesandro Gualtiéri, il Naso matto.I think it's mavelous by itself but, If you have nothing against Layering, i can suggest to layer first "sade attaquer le soleil" from "état libre d'orange" ( a dirty sheepy cistus labdanum perfume) and apply Bergamask over, it composes a very "dark" back-bone.
I just started learning about this house. I received a bottle of Megamare recently. I love it. I think this one will be my next purchase. Hope you do more videos about this house.
Brooklyn Fragrance Lover wore the single note javanol from that Escentric Molecule brand; he said people could smell him literally ROOMS away at work. I sprayed it on a test strip that was directed into a laundry sink, where the water goes from the washing machine. It is a very nice sandalwood. *Problem* : The scent did not leave the sink *for literally an entire year* That included at least several clothes washings a week. It just STUCK there at the bottom of the sink, despite dirty water passing over the area hundreds of times. That freaked me out, so I avoid that aromachemical now.
Aaron I think it would be great if you reviewed Comme Des Garcons Rouge. Just had a whiff and it is very unique - utilizes beetroot ! Longevity also surprised me for a CDG
I’d like to get 3 from each sister house 3 from Naso and 3 from Orto I have Pardon with black afgano on the way and my 3rd will probably be blamage. My 3 from Orto will be Terroni, Megamare, and Bergamask
Hey Aaron is delivery to Slovenia available? It's possible to select the country in the online store, but when I enter all the address details it says that shipment isn't possible to that address. Thank you and kind regards
Aaron I don't know your work yet (fkin brexit) but I just bought myself a bottle of Amouage Imitation and upon smelling the tester strip at the perfume store the first thing that popped into my mind was HARD CANDY. The smell is so candy, neon, colorful thick I smelled it and went 'this, I pay, thank you' immediately :D I don't know your work (yet!) but the way you describe it Imitation is like you!
I blind bought full line of Ortoparisi and i love all of it. Didn’t regret a single one All time favorite are Boccanera, Bergamask and Megamare Beast mode performance from the whole line
@@Abcdefk-u I think you should try Bergamask first and if you enjoy it you will enjoy Megamare. Both are really versatile all year round depend on how much you spray. Besides Bergamsk and Megamare you can try Viride which brought a greenly vibes with it
ahhhh... I really wanted megamare... but, to be fair, all of them are interesting! Really hope you get to smell more of them! And Nasomato is the sister house ur thinking :)
The whole house is like this, I'm so happy you read my comments (I suppose not only mine). The guy doesn't give notes and on his official website there isn't really a description either. There's pictures to imagine the inspiration, but they all have a story. This one is based on the city of Bergamo wheter there are begamots and the bargamasco dance which is in a way slutty and erotic - and he says it's a mix of the hot, horny bodies and the bergamot trees. You need to try the rest, Megamare stays on for 48h including showers, and they all have some stories and the caps are different. Megamare has a cap that's rusted in the sea with mother-of-pearl top. Terroni is a derogative term for an Italian southerner and it reminds him of south - it has a volcanic stone top and it smells of volcanic, spiky stone-lije smell with a hot pepper and raspberry reminiscent of lava.
In Italy, bergamots usually are typical in south italy, especially Calabria, due to the real Mediterranean climate. Bergamo for what I know isn’t famous for bergamot production. Although, I can understand the mistake, because all this sounds so similar and all that crazy genius ideas that Gualtieri do
I was looking forward to this one. I have had a sample for several months and have been fighting to embrace it however there's something that doesn't sit well with me. I love musk but it smells too pissy. Here's hoping that will change.
It’s not that crowd pleasing and the musk it’s a bit animalic. This parfume is beautiful and repulsive in the same time. I feel like megamare is more complex, smoother and easy to like. ps: I am wearing Bergamask right now on my hand while listening at what Aaron says and the notes start getting more contour and sense. Still not my favorite fragrance from the collection, but indeed it’s a work of art.
What you're talking about, "beautiful and repulsive" Is the whole philosophy behind Alessandro Gualtieri's work, Bro. And if you think Megamare Is not in that vein, I humbly say that you're very wrong.
@@brandondarby5821 As I said, it will last on anyone. Bergamask is based around a formula containing 50% synthetic sandalwood molecules and a HUGE 38% of that being Javanol (the most put into any fragrance ever to my knowledge and enough to make most perfumers shudder) which is incredibly strong. Even if he reformulated and halved the amount of it in the formula this stuff would still be nuclear. I think it’s exactly because the aromachemicals used in this are in such high doses that it makes people go noseblind. Alternatively, it may be that your nose struggles to pick up Javanol (just like how some people can’t smell ISO E Super or Ambroxan at all), in which case you will struggle since that note comprises most of the drydown. It happens - I can’t smell Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim at all, it’s like water to my nose, and I barely get any Mint in Amouage Enclave whereas some people say it’s a mint bomb… our noses are just all different and we have different levels of sensitivity to different aroma chemicals. Also, if bought second hand, you could have a fake. There are a lot of fake Nasomatto and Orto Parisi out there so if you bought it from a non-official source it might not be genuine… I don’t want to be too dogmatic about it, but as I said a formula with this many strong aromachemicals will never have an issue with longevity or projection - the nose smelling it will always be the weak link, whether that’s noseblindness or just not picking up the chemicals themselves…
Surprised there was no real mention of the “mask” piece of the puzzle. The "mask" captures the musky odor expelled by a fresh kill. Alessandro Gualtieri is brilliant, and I admire so many of his scents, but there’s death on this one. You love and hate it simultaneously. I’ve literally had people tell me there’s a “hint of rotten flesh” smell on it. That’s a f’n bizarre scent to weave into a citrus / musk. Love it, hate it.
