I don’t understand the draw of this house with it’s very darkly humored names – boccanera is slang for asshole (think black mouth, look at how lips stretch and then think of an anus – has nothing to do with black lips come on I’m not that gullible!
Stercus – have a look at the pictures, it is pics resembling an anus.
what is going on!

Envy? For sure . To the wearer from others or vise versa?
I think, probably, both.
It is a sweet taste in your mouth and nose, with such fullness and roundness , that it must be a sin.
And the whole concept is, like life itself ,sinful and exciting , that you must have them all.
I am a sinner in this world of sin.

Dark chocolate with some mild spices. Dry. In the base there is synthetic oud. It gets sweeter, the dark chocolate is gone and it’s a linear drydown with dry woods and musk.

It seems that every scent in this line is related to Black Afgano in some way or another.

Alright, Boccanera’s opening reminds me of Body Kouros: syrupy, and bold. But as it dries down, the bitterness comes through, and it reminds me of Kokorico (or is it Kokorico by Night? I get them confused). I decided to samples this because of the dark chocolate and chili pepper notes, I was hoping it would be similar to A*Men Taste of Fragrance (Le Gout du Parfum), which ALSO features chili peppers (along with coffee, vanilla, and patch). Although dark chocolate and chili pepper seems to blend well AT FIRST, that chili pepper definitely contributes to that bitter drydown. Too dry, too bitter. The search for a signature scent continues.

Boccanera is my first try from the house of Orto Parisi as it’s seemingly one of the higher-reputed entries from the line, and certainly the most-discussed that I’ve seen.
It’s a nice dark composition, a mixture of chocolate, pepper, and sandalwood, primarily, with hints of ginger and musk. Fortunately, this in case, ginger does not spoil the fragrance, but its own spicy aspect does distract from the pepper’s, not add to it, unfortunately. Still, the overall blend is nice—a bold, cold-weather-leaning beast that performs admirably and combines the sweet and spicy and woody.
In the US it seems to be available only at Luckyscent and Bergdorf Goodman for its standard pricing of $195 for 50ml, slightly cheaper than a Tom Ford Private Blend (though unlike the TFPB, not available in higher volume bottles like flacons). I’d say at this price point, it’s roughly in the category of one needing to really love it in order to buy it, and I’m just not quite that sold on it. I like the balance of it, but I’m simply not swooning over it. Still, a nice first impression of the house for me.

this one, unfortunately, calls home to ‘black afgano’, much like a few others in this range.
i mean, i generally enjoy smelling the BA signature, but not as often. i’m not sure if the perfumer has a shit-tonne of the accord and just needs to sell it off, or whatever, but this overbearing DNA is on most of this line. Stercus, Boccanera and Brutus. 3 ‘new line’ scents that smell like Black Afgano. it’s a pity, it really is. they’ve essentially all become flankers of BA, tragic as that may seem.
i get that dusty, woody-sweet accord AGAIN, albeit with a variation of sorts, apparently due to the cacao. but still a bit of a let down…

In Mexico there´s a dish called Mole which is actually the name of the sauce comprised of a number of ingredients, among them dark chocolate and chili. A dish that definitely will leave your bocca quite nera… 😉
Boccanera made me think of mole, not because it smells the same, but because it has a very dominant dry cocoa/chocolate note with chili lurking in the background, both notes originating in Mexico. As in most of Gualtieri´s creations a rather heavy, barnyard oud is the base, with variations on the same theme.
Often compared to Nasomatto´s Pardon, which I prefer over Boccanera in sofistication, Boccanera is more linear and comes across more as a gourmand than Pardon. Personally I think a comparison to Black Afgano is closer to the mark.
With Tiziana Terenzi´s Laudano Nero, Pardon, Duro, BA, Stercus and Boccanera on my shelf I feel I have this particular type of fragrance well covered, they are actually very alike, but I will spend some time picking them apart and hopefully discover their differences.

“Boccanera means ‘dark mouth’ in Italian. Nature offers dark holes that express sensuality in an erotic dark way, and this fragrance is no exception.” “The Nose – Alessandro Gualtieri”
A warm, smoldering, mysterious, dry, dark cocoa fragrance!
The first spray on my skin is a chili pepper and a delicate wood accord. On my skin a dark, dry cocoa note quickly comes through. There is a slightly medicinal, bitter edge to the cocoa. Cocoa dominates on my skin supported by the chili pepper. Boccanera has a gourmand feel to it but the cocoa is very dry. I like the animalic warm, musky scent. The cocoa is on my skin for a long time, I sense a resinous note almost like amber, I sense a little bit of the sandalwood. I dont sense ginger on my skin, it is well-blended.
Boccanera lasted all day on my super-dry skin (about 8 hours) sillage is arm-length for a few hours.

I see mixed reviews on this below. I am a fan for sure i love this and actually wear it today this is woods spice pepper and oud plus some nice cocoa… I really like this a lot its a delicious juice that will last and last and last I applied it today 7 hours back and its still projecting like a beast.

Boccanera has a nice opening. Dark, thick and woody, with a pleasant dusting of unsweetened cocoa providing a sort of pleasantly spiced depth.
Unfortunately I found the drydown totally disagreeable. I definitely detect some cheap medicinal oud in this, and that plays off of the familiar lactic sandalwood Gaultieri seems to love so much and gives it a bit of a sour milk vibe on my skin. The cocoa wears off relatively quickly and what is left is this sort of acrid mustiness that irritates my nose. I kept sniffing it waiting for this phase to end or for this to stop lasting on my skin and unfortunately there was no respite. I enjoyed the first 30 minutes, the other 23 and half hours I found it quite annoying. I couldn’t help but wonder why this should have such absurd longevity at the expense of being a pleasant, well rounded fragrance. I would much rather have a fragrance that actually smells good and lasts a couple of hours than have some annoying synthetic headache linger for the greater part of a day.
In summary, not so good. I do like the opening though, which I will be sniffing my sample vial for on occasion.

I bought this at aedes de venustas late spring. I love it! It is oud and chocolate right off the top. Performance is awesome. Spray it on clothes and you will smell it for days. 100% unisex. It is an interesting scent which garners complicments from a wide range of people – folks who usually dont comment on my fragrances. Can’t wait to wear this in winter; I believe it will truly shince in the cold weather. I can see the comparison with black afgano but really, this fragcrance is way more wearable and versatile. I would describe this as an aromatic oudy gourmande. Irresistible.

Agree with the latest review and i would clearly say it’ s a second version of Nasomatto Black Afgano. The notes are slightly more sweet though and the drydown is less longer lasting. The bottle comes in a 50ml size and if you love black afgano(i dont ) try to mix the 2 for a longer longevity.

I tried this earlier in the year before it saw official distribution and I quite liked it, although I noted that it was suspiciously close to Black Afgano. A few months later, I reviewed the rest of the line and found them to be either poor remixes of BA or horrifyingly loud chemical slop buckets. So here I am back at Boccanera to give it another shake.
Dry, powdered cocoa is the first thing that hits you, and there’s a milky cedar tone lurking around beneath. The BA likeness is immediate, only here it’s backgrounded with culinary spices slapped on as well. I actually do detect the weed note in BA, and I get it here too—a sage-based accord, but it’s tucked away behind the cocoa here. There’s something kind of sweaty about it as well—a small cumin note, perhaps—but when it’s paired with the sage, it comes across a bit like paint. Like the other scents in the line, this is brazenly powerful and quite chemical smelling (although I suspect there’s cocoa absolute at work), yet it’s enjoyable for what it is—a wonky, countercultural stinky dessert type thing.
Overall, I’d say that it’s very busy, but I’d hesitate to call it “complex” as I don’t find it to be that articulate. The base is the standard Nasomatto base that he’s done over and over—synthetic ebanol-style sandalwood bomb that’s shaded by the usual woodyamber chemicals he overdoses for insane longevity. And yes, this one lasts far too long as the result.
In general, this line was a real let down—low-brow Nasomatto remixes for the most part. But they do have some clumsy charm to them, and I can see them being a big hit for the right person. But for my money, Slumberhouse’s Ore does the dry cocoa and musk thing so much better than this. Boccanera isn’t the most offensive scent in the line (I think that award would go to Bergamask), but it doesn’t feel like an appealing perfume either. To me, Orto Parisi is kind of like the comic book version of perfumery—loud, gaudy, a tad juvenile perhaps, with “kapow!” and “blam!” explosive lettering grafted onto it. The line pummels you in every aesthetic sense, and Boccanera really isn’t any different in that regard. If you hated Black Afgano (and many people do), don’t even bother getting anywhere close to this one.

I consider “Boccanera” a good scent but it has nothing blatant arrogance of Bergamask. Hints of dried fruit, of distant citrus, of earth. I find it perfect for the winter, for the Christmas holidays. If you look for originality, choose Bergamask.

So weird that I thought to myself after sampling this entire line (well after about 2 actually!) that these were more than reminiscent of Nasomatto.
I thought it was just my imagination because they where positioned next to the Nasomatto’s in Jovoy, Paris. Hardly surprising then that they are from the same perfumer and it really shows.
This is not a bad thing at all though because you get those lumbering, great big, sledghammer compositions.
This is a massively resinous, deep, dark heavy chocolate fragrance with that putty like woods of Black Afgano.
I actually loved Boccanera to be honest…but it’s undoubtedly well trodden ground, especially from this perfumer. Hey I’m not going to criticize.

Great sense, Love it!
It is in the line of Black Afgano but hey….That’s where Gualtieri is at his best!
I would look at it as a BA variation-evolution, more chocolaty, gingery and round…gourmand, praliné I suppose.
Unfortunately the negative point, and that goes for the whole Orto Parisi line, is that he attempts to give his perfumes a dry middle note and it tends to smell a bit synthetic and artificial. I don’t minde the use of synthetic notes but they have to be, just like naturals, well balanced.
And at some moments, for my nose, this dry note is just not well balanced enough.

If you ever wondered how a chocolate-flavoured weed smoked through a water-pipe filled with piss instead of water would smell like, well.. here’s your answer.

Le parti del corpo che portano più odore sono quelle nelle quali si raccoglie più anima .
I forti odori sono diventati sgradevoli per noi, perché l’eccesso di anima è intollerabile al punto che il nostro animalismo innato è represso e bandito dalla civiltà.
Questo progetto è il mio giardino che ho piantato, concimato, coltivato e raccolto. Orto Parisi afferma che il nostro corpo è vissuto come un giardino, ed i suoi profumi sono un vero specchio della nostra anima.
Citazione di Alessandro Gualtieri
E finalmente, ho potuto esplorare la nuova linea di Alessandro Gualtieri: Orto Parisi grazie all’amico Giovanni Padovan titolare insieme alla moglie Lia Lo Brutto, della storica Antica Profumeria al Sacro Cuore, per ora mi limito a darvi qualche info e a consigliarvi, se avete la possibilità, di andarli ad annusare. Perché sono ben fatti, armoniosi, seducenti, con un gusto per la rotondità e la sensualità tipico della grande profumeria classica, e quindi con note corpose e coinvolgenti (note animali, resine e legni di origine sia naturale che sintetica). Annusandole, si capisce quanto Alessandro sia ormai diverso da qualche anno fa, quando il suo talento era sottolineato dalla voglia di stupire, di provocare. Oggi la provocazione è sempre lì -evidentemente lo diverte- ma è affiancata da una maturità, da una confidenza che non ha bisogno di dimostrare alcunché, e che trova soddisfazione nel rendere omaggio alle proprie radici, ad un nonno molto amato Vincenzo Parisi; l’Orto era, appunto, il suo,concimato personalmente.. .e ,alla sua vita semplice di contadino. Insomma, l’ho riconosciuto “grande” in una maniera che mi ha colpito.
Le fragranze sono proprio belle e testimoniano una vita fatta di odori, sensazioni e gesti antichi, considerati normali fino a qualche decennio fa, e semisconosciuti per noi: Stercus è l’odore caldo e rassicurante delle stalle che ospitano cavalli e mucche ed è senz’altro uno di quegli odori che chi ha avuto la fortuna di conoscerlo da bambino si porta nel cuore per sempre. Viride è l’odore verde e secco dei campi coltivati durante l’estate,una nota freschissima verde di erba e fieno che non svanisce ma si apre diventando poco a poco dolce quasi a ricordare un vetiver, Bergamask,si apre con uno stridio di bergamotto quasi del tutto coprente ,ed al primo impatto puo’ risultare troppo presente poi lentamente evolve diventa caldissimo ,ricorda i profumi dei nostri genitori ,essenze eleganti quelle che si mettevano solo alla domenica per andare alla messa molto elegante.
Boccanera ,parte violentissimo ,ricordandomi le camere fumose ,dove normalmente veniva posto il camino della famiglia e mi ricorda l’odore delle ceneri dei legni utilizzati per riscaldare la cucina ,resinoso animale quanto basta per poi nel passare delle ore ingentilirsi e dare al tutto un tocco soave un profumo che rasserena .
Brutus ,una overture quasi liquorosa di rum invecchiato ,poi ne ritrovo elementi canforati quasi a ricordarmi i vecchi cassetti dove venivano riposti i contenitori in legno dei vecchi orologi e dei pochi oggetti preziosi ,come le catenine e gli anelli che la famiglia si tramandava .
Queste sono le mie sensazioni ,sono profumi molto particolari e ben costruiti ,a distanza di cinque ore ancora stanno evolvendo e sara’ un vero piacere quando i veri esperti ci sveleranno le note di questo meraviglioso progetto.
. Ovviamente sono tutte fragranze indossabilissime, perché la visione estetica di Alessandro sarà pure provocatoria e originale, ma non dimentica mai un assunto fondamentale: che le fragranze devono, soprattutto, essere piacevoli da indossare. E queste lo sono tutte.
Nota a margine, mi piace molto il flacone semplice e morbido, senza frivolezze inutili, e ogniuno ha nel tappo un legno diverso incastonato in quello che sembra ottone,che mi pare rispecchi appieno sia il profumo che contiene, che l’ispirazione di fondo.
Ecco Giovanni come promesso ho tentato la mia personale recensione spero sia attinente e coerente al compito che mi hai affidato .
