Orto Parisi | Stercus | Extrait de Parfum
Created by the provocative Alessandro Gualtieri, Stercus is a bold olfactory exploration of the cycle of life. The name, Latin for "dung" or "manure", isn't meant to be literal, but rather a philosophical nod to the idea that the end of one life provides the fertile ground for another. It is a fragrance that embraces the "honest" smells of the earth and the body. It is deep, dark, and intensely animalic, yet surprisingly soft and woody. It captures the tension between the raw, primal nature of existence and a refined, smoky elegance, a scent that is as grounding as the soil itself.

Performance: In true Orto Parisi fashion, Stercus is a performance titan. It offers legendary longevity (16–20+ hours) and a sillage that is thick, warm, and pervasive. As an Extrait de Parfum, it is designed to be felt as much as smelled, settling into a persistent, "smoky-leathery" skin scent that remains incredibly potent and masculine-leaning throughout its wear.
