Orto Parisi Cuoium is a Parfum launched in 2021, created by Alessandro Gualtieri. Cuoium opens with Woody and Animalic, settles into a heart of Violet, and dries down to a base of Cade, Leather, Cedar, and Patchouli. Orto Parisi's Cuoium carries an Acquired verdict, a animalic-led wear.

This isn't just a scent; it's a declaration. Cuoium is a polarising masterpiece: some find it an unwearable atrocity, a rank explosion of barnyard and ashtray, while others hail it as the ultimate animalic leather. It's potent, daring, and absolutely not for the faint-hearted. If you want a fragrance that smells like a wild animal in a biker jacket, then this is for you.

About

Cuoium crashes onto the skin with a brutal, untamed animalic and woody assault, an uncompromising opening that screams raw hide. This intense introduction softens to a heart of subtle violet, which, rather than sweetening, adds a dry, almost dusty floral edge. The dry-down is where the true beast emerges: a deep, smoky leather, rich with labdanum, earthy patchouli, and smouldering incense, all underscored by an oily, almost tarry cade and a surprising whisper of vanilla for depth. It’s a primal, visceral experience from start to finish.
