Orto Parisi | Cuoium | Extrait de Parfum
Created by Alessandro Gualtieri, Cuoium is a powerful tribute to the heritage of leather and the willpower to move forward. The fragrance is inspired by Gualtieri’s grandfather, Vincenzo Parisi, who fled his home in Puglia to become a shoemaker in Genoa. It centers on the story of the first and only pair of leather shoes Vincenzo ever made, shoes that he repaired and maintained for a lifetime. Cuoium represents the "soul" of that leather: a vision of a modern world that remains in touch with its pagan traditions, treasuring its origins while allowing mystery to play a part in one's life.

Performance: Cuoium is a world-class performance titan. It delivers extreme longevity (16–24+ hours) and an enormous sillage that commands any room. As a high-concentration Extrait de Parfum, it is famous for its visceral, "sticky" persistence, settling into a deep, ashy-leather aura that can survive multiple washes and remains on fabrics for weeks. It is an unapologetic powerhouse meant for those who want their fragrance to be an immutable signature.
