About Orto Parisi Stercus
Stercus comes from Orto Parisi.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Nest Golden Nectar and Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €101. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac and Prada Infusion De Amande.
When in the day to wear Stercus
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its oud side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Lancôme Variety is a lighter match.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. It lasts longer than Nest Golden Nectar and Prada Infusion De Amande. Base notes like agarwood and leather are the part that stays longest on the skin.
