Cuoium, launched by Orto Parisi in 2021 and crafted by Alessandro Gualtieri, is an animalic-leather fragrance that marries the warmth of amber and musk with the smoky depth of incense and cade oil. The composition opens with a bold blend of animal notes and violet, creating a tension between modernity and tradition. This distinctive juxtaposition is further accentuated by the heart of leather and incense, which gives way to a rich base of cedar, labdanum, patchouli, and vanilla. It's neither overtly sweet nor overpowering, making it an intriguing choice for those who appreciate complexity.

Application Tips
This fragrance blooms slowly; give it at least an hour for its full character to emerge. It reads better close to skin than across a room, so apply directly to pulse points for maximum impact.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the aroma of incense and leather blends with the warmth of a city bar.
