''This project is my garden. I have planted, fertilized, cultivated, and harvested. Orto Parisi states that our body is experienced like a garden, and its smells are a true mirror of our soul.'' -The Nose, Alessandro Gualtieri. Brutus is an aromatic blend of earthy patchouli and dry woods with a burst of ripe bergamot and mandarin orange. Imagine a perfect, genteel aquatic masculine, multiplied by 10. Brutus is so bracingly clean, and sweetly fresh it verges on the absurd, a caricature of the ?Cool Water' model, that successfully lampoons the appeal of perfection. Initially as genteel as its predecessor, Brutus uses bright citrus as a decoy for the searing heat and melancholic majesty it shortly deploys. As zesty refreshment gives way to the dark, potent intensity of patchouli the familiar terrain of this masculine scent shifts and begins to shadow into the darkness, murk and despair the sea can also inspire. The woods that populate this fragrance are dark and impenetrable, like an underwater forest of driftwood, impossibly tied to the sea's floor, unidentifiable skeletons of land locked below the surface. Brutus suggests and depicts a struggle against the perceived ideal and the infinite process that is true progress. A paean to mistakes, imperfections and turbulence, Brutus is a magnetic fragrance that communicates the force of undeniable desires. Folks, meet the new man-scent of your dreams.
