The gustatory inspiration to create Boccanera were the small dark chocolate sweets with hot chili peppers inside, the combination of the attractive sweet and the repulsive spicy taste sensations. Boccanera is in a direct relation to the aspect of bodily holes, meaning in Italian ‘dark mouth’, it shows that the mouth that speaks only the truth is hot, attractive, shocking and biting – all at the same time.

The concept of this fragrance holds a dichotomic parallel in erotic sense between the mouth and the anus – both being the dark holes of our bodies. Boccanera takes the smeller into an infinite gourmand limbo and strikes a confusing balance between the scent and the flavor, between the love and the fear. Driven by a dark sexual honesty, the hot truth is revealed.

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

KEY ASPECTS OF ORTO PARISI

FRESHNESS vs STENCH
ATTRACTION vs REPULSION
Two notes present in every fragrance are ‘PISSE DE CHEVAL’ and ‘BOYA BUTTER’.
Boya butter is the butter of precious agarwood, which is formed in the heartwood of aquilaria trees when they become infected by certain type of mould. Prior the infection the heartwood is odourless, light and pale, while after the infection it becomes dark and starts producing a very aromatic resin called agar, also known as oud. First-grade agarwood is one of the most expensive natural raw materials in the world. The odour of agarwood is complex and enchanting with almost no existing analogues. 
So-called ‘pisse de cheval’ is p-Cresol, an organic compound that is produced by bacterial fermentation of protein in the human bodies and is excreted in the feces and urine. It is also a constituent of tobacco smoke and a component of human sweat that is attractive to female mosquitoes. In the collection of Orto Parisi, p-Cresol plays a part by creating repulsive and attractive notes, since it is a major component in pig odor and a present odor during musth in male elephants. This compound is one of the very few that plays the role in attracting the orchid bee and has been widely used to capture and study the species. An off-putting captive that awakens the hidden smell of the soul. These very well-hidden, two base elements in use represent the contradictory of attraction and repulsion in a balanced combination with other raw materials.
They invite the sniffer on an infinite real life smell trip.
