Seminalis is a stimulus in a fragrance bottle.
Alessandro Gualtieri was inspired by a scientific study, which discovered the fact that human spermatozoa has the ability to recognize certain smells. Sperms are attracted by a smell that is released by female eggs.

Seminalis is the proof that life happened due to the smell, due to the olfactory attraction. This is a scent of life in the most literate sense. A fragrance that contains bourgeonal, an aromatic aldehyde which helps sperm to locate the ovum and start a new life. This watery reminiscent of a lily of the valley is the only known odor substance to which males have a higher average sensitivity than females. It acts as a chemo-attractant for human spermatozoa, leading them to swim twice as fast towards the ovum. From olfactory point of view, Seminalis is as animalic as possible, having a extraordinary lacteal side that symbolizes the secretions of the body that are released when the life is happening.

Seminalis is the odor that is responsible for attracting males to females and producing new life.

All Orto Parisi fragrances are hidden in a box that opens up into a metropolis and reveals an infinite hole of the center. Seminalis floats in a glass flask with a tumbled silver metal cap and a drop of semitransparent bakelite. 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.
