Orto Parisi | Seminalis | Extrait de Parfum
Created by Alessandro Gualtieri, Seminalis is perhaps the most provocative and conceptual entry in the Orto Parisi line. The name itself is a nod to the "seed of life," and the fragrance is designed to mimic the biological scent of attraction. Gualtieri focused on the idea of a "chemical lure", a fragrance that doesn't just smell like something, but is something. It is a scent of pure, unadulterated magnetism, meant to evoke the visceral, deep-seated instincts of human desire. It is creamy, milky, and slightly metallic, designed to feel like the very essence of creation.
