An immersive fougere that storms your senses with a muscular version of the great outdoors. Hallucinogenic wormwood takes the reins of a wild gallop through fir, cedarwood and tobacco. The fierce greenness is cushioned by a plush and saturated musk.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Viride suits the hour when outdoor exertion gives way to indoor conversation, without surrendering its rough edges. Bitter herbs and fir retain a sense of open ground, while tobacco and plush musk bring warmth at closer quarters. The presence is deliberate and physical, with the familiar structure of an old-school fougere made less restrained.
How to wear
Try Viride in cool or mild weather, when its dense greenery and musky sweetness are less likely to feel excessive. Begin with one or two sprays on skin and assess before adding more. Beneath clothing, the softer musky side can feel more intimate; an exposed application gives the assertive herbal character more room. Use a lighter hand in heat.
Who it’s for
For lovers of bitter herbs, coniferous woods and traditional fougeres who want a denser, less polished interpretation. Viride will appeal most to those who enjoy forceful greenery softened by sweet musk, rather than crisp citrus freshness or delicate botanical scents.

The nose
Alessandro Gualtieri, known as “The Nose,” created Viride as part of Orto Parisi’s original collection. Also the creator behind Nasomatto, he is known for bold, textural fragrances that favour sensory impact over transparent note-by-note storytelling. Works such as Black Afgano and Baraonda reflect his appetite for dense, unconventional compositions; Viride channels that approach into muscular greenery.
Orto Parisi’s story
Orto Parisi treats the body as a garden and its smells as expressions of the soul. Founded by Alessandro Gualtieri, the house explores the tension between cultivated refinement and human animality through uncompromising fragrances. Its refusal to disclose conventional note pyramids keeps attention on the complete sensory experience rather than individual ingredients.
Viride’s concept
Viride imagines greenery as something deeply rooted and cultivated, rather than merely fresh. Its concept draws on herbal plants, a fertilized garden and the image of a Yemeni man wearing a traditional floral crown. It appeared among the five fragrances that introduced Orto Parisi, a project dedicated to Gualtieri’s grandfather, Vincenzo Parisi, and his intensely personal relationship with his garden.
Extra info
Viride means “green” in Latin. Its gold-finished metal cap contains an Ecuadorian guaiacum-wood inlay—a bottle detail, not a declared perfume ingredient. The fragrance is made in Italy and presented by the house as a 50 ml parfum.
