A bold citrus fougère with a feral heartbeat, Brutus bursts open with sunlit bergamot and juicy mandarin before locking onto a textured core where lavender and geranium brush against a dark rose nuance. As it dries, earthy patchouli and mossy woods roll in with amber and musk, creating a confident throw that feels classic and untamed at once, a tailored white shirt with the sleeves roughed up.

Story and Positioning
Named for Marcus Junius Brutus, this extrait channels strength and contradiction, pairing luminous citrus with rugged botanicals for a throwback style done with modern muscle. Presented by the brand as an imposing front for an honest identity, it sits among the foundational Orto Parisi creations as the classic citrus aromatic of the line. If you enjoy the refined bite of heritage masculines like Dior Eau Sauvage or Chanel Pour Monsieur, Brutus delivers that code with thicker texture and deep staying power.
Bottle and Design
A thick-walled walled clear bottle shows the pale juice, crowned by a polished copper metal cap set with a walnut shell inlay. The label is natural white paper with a fine herringbone tweed texture, and the faceted presentation box unfolds like a small sculpture, revealing the flacon at the center. The overall impression is artisanal minimalism with real shelf presence.
