Orto Parisi Boccanera

Orto Parisi Boccanera opens with chili, black pepper, ginger and cacao, passes through a jasmine shadow, then settles into dark chocolate, leather, vanilla, musk, cedar, patchouli and animalic warmth.

Profile: Oriental vanilla.

Notes: chili pepper, black pepper, ginger, cacao pod; jasmine; chocolate, leather, musk, vanilla, sugar, cedar, patchouli, animalic notes.

Evolution: chili pepper, black pepper, ginger and cacao pod → jasmine → dark chocolate, leather, vanilla and musk.

Best for: It speaks to someone who likes sensuality with danger in it: a cold night, a low-lit bar and dark clothes that need no ornament. Chocolate and vanilla are cut by chili, leather and animalic notes; that dangerous edge leaves little comfort for fans of gentle gourmands.

Origin: Italy.

Longevity: 10–14 hours.
