Stercus by Orto Parisi

STERCUS COMES FROM LATIN MEANING ‘FECES’.

Once asked: “What is your favorite smell?”, the answer is always: “The smell of my own truth which might be a lie.” Feces never lie. They are the consistent indicators of health, a part of the essential body functioning, and a natural way to fertilize the soil. Stercus is honest, an honest indicator of quality. It is the secret sweetness that attracts, and the animalic side that offends. A sign of an infinite life circle. The smell of an end and the beginning.

All Orto Parisi fragrances are hidden in a box that opens up into a metropolis and reveals an infinite hole in the center. Stercus floats in a glass flask with a tumbled bronze metal cap with an inlaid brown horn. Labelled by ‘savile row tweed paper’ with a very fine herringbone structure.
