Brutus

A barbershop fougere with the volume turned all the way up. Brutus by Orto Parisi is authority in fragrance form. Bitter citrus, aromatic lavender, earthy patchouli, oakmoss and dark woods create a scent that feels bold, refined and unforgettable. Classic masculinity reimagined with raw modern power. The Story Brutus was released in 2014 by Orto Parisi, the house of perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. The house describes it as an imposing front for an honest identity, and the fragrance is a deep, modern patchouli: amber and patchouli blended with geranium, rose and lavender and brightened by bergamot and mandarin. It plays refined control against a rough name. How It Smells Opening Sharp, green and commanding, a striking blend of bergamot, mandarin and patchouli. The first impression is bitter-citrus and herbal, almost like a refined vintage cologne sharpened with modern intensity. It is bold, clean and unapologetically masculine in character. Heart Darker and more textured. Lavender, geranium and cedar add aromatic structure while patchouli grows stronger, earthy, dry and elegant rather than sweet. Many wearers describe a barbershop fougere reimagined through the Orto Parisi lens: rougher, stronger and more primal. Dry Down Warm, woody and assertive. Patchouli, oakmoss, labdanum, musk and woods create a stern, classic masculine trail that lasts for hours. It smells powerful, intellectual and fearless.
