A stimulus in a bottle, by Orto Parisi
Orto Parisi Seminalis is called the house's first stimulus in a bottle. The brand builds it around an aromatic aldehyde and presents it as biological proof that smell can attract and even initiate life. It publishes no notes beyond that idea. Taken as a concept it is easy to follow, but the scent itself is something to learn on your own skin, in 10 ml.

On the skin
Orto Parisi explains Seminalis through a concept, not a list of ingredients: a stimulus, an aromatic aldehyde, life initiated by smell. It is an unusual way to introduce a perfume, and an honest one, because the house leaves the scent itself to the wearer to find.
The brand does not reveal the notes used in its creations, and we have no other source, so none are shown. A sample is the natural way to approach a perfume of this kind, since the only evidence you can gather is your own reaction on skin over a few wearings.
The cap is tumbled silver metal with semitransparent bakelite. The brand says it stands for the body fluids released when new life begins. It is a deliberate piece of design that goes with the concept, though it says nothing about how the perfume smells, and a decant does not include it.
Testing it
Apply a single spray on the neck or chest of clean skin and avoid rubbing it in. As a Parfum it is concentrated, so begin modestly. The brand names no season or occasion, so try it on different days and in different air, and note what you pick up first and what stays once it has dried.
The brand states no gender and no profile. It suits curious people who enjoy a perfume with an idea behind it and who do not need notes to decide. If you prefer to know the ingredients before buying, accept that here the only way to know is wearing it.
With no notes published and an abstract concept in their place, you cannot read Seminalis in advance, and 50 ml of Parfum is a serious purchase to make unseen. Our decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you form an opinion from the perfume itself.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

The brand does not publish them, and we have no source for ingredients, so none are shown here. The perfume has to be learned by wearing it.
It is the brand's own phrase for Seminalis, the house's first creation of that kind. It ties the perfume to an aromatic aldehyde and to the idea that smell can start life. It is a concept, not a scent description.

The brand
Orto Parisi is named after a garden: that of Vincenzo Parisi, grandfather of the perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, which the brand says gave rise to the project. From there comes the manifesto of the house, the body as a garden whose smells mirror the soul. The Nose, as Gualtieri signs, does not reveal his notes, so each Parfum comes with a short text and nothing more. To know Megamare or Terroni you have to wear it, and a 10 ml decant lets you.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
