"Tall nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower."
Tall nettles, Edward Thomas
Green and sweet in one bottle. The damp, breathing sensation of nettle follows a stony path to the coconut/sandalwood effect of massoia bark. The result is a sharp green flicker highlighting a dusty cherry oud.

Important notice:
Zanini blends are living botanical compositions, crafted entirely from natural materials and free from synthetic fixatives or stabilizers. As with all things living, subtle variations are part of their nature: over time, you may notice a gentle evolution in colour, texture, or the appearance of natural sediment. These are not imperfections, but part of the character of the raw materials themselves.
These blends are olfactive smellscapes (but neither aromatherapy, nor ‘spray-and-go’ perfumes) and sensory experiences, closer to works of art created in the scented plane (rather than, say, visual or audio).
Certain essential oils and absolutes that are used in Zanini’s 100% natural blends may potentially cause allergies in some people. Please spray Zanini’s blends on fabric (on sleeves, scarves, etc.).
Zanini advise that those who are prone to allergic reactions, pregnant and nursing women, as well as people with chronic illnesses to be extra careful. Before trying natural blends, study the list of ingredients and consult with a doctor if you are not sure or a had a history of allergies. If you do decide to put these blends on your skin (unable to resist the temptation) always test the blend on the inside part of your elbow first and wait.
Do not spray these blends liberally as a cloud in the way you would spray a conventional perfume. Zanini’s smellscapes need to be… carefully applied and experienced. Be mindful that some oils can also make your skin hyper-sensitive to UV.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and attentive company, where its green sting and resinous warmth can be noticed in movement rather than announced from across the room. It feels most at home in a quiet, textural setting — sleeves brushed up, air slightly cool, the scent unfolding like crushed stems and dry wood.
How to wear
Best worn sparingly, especially on fabric, where its natural materials can breathe without becoming too diffuse. In cool to mild weather it will read as greener and more vivid; in warmth the resinous, woody facets come forward, so one or two sprays are enough to keep the composition clear and controlled.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like unconventional naturals, green-earthy compositions and perfumes with a rough botanical edge. It will appeal to those drawn to nettle, galbanum, woods, resins and unusual contrasts between damp greenery and darker, sweeter depth.

The nose
Theodoros Kalotinis is a Greek artisan perfumer known for compositions that move between gourmand comfort and vivid naturalism. His work often draws on herbs, flowers and edible textures, giving even unusual materials a tactile, approachable clarity. For Ortica Ortica, that instinct for natural detail suits Zanini’s nettle-led concept: the fragrance is built as a green, earthy smellscape with a sharp botanical edge, then deepens into a warmer, more resinous drydown.
Zanini’s story
Zanini treats perfume as an art form and describes its creations as “smellscapes” — olfactory landscapes built from real and imagined places. The house’s style is small-batch, material-led and nature-attuned, with an emphasis on atmosphere, texture and emotional resonance rather than conventional crowd-pleasing polish.
Ortica Ortica’s concept
Ortica Ortica is presented as a nettle-centered smellscape: a green, damp opening inspired by the rough edge of a farmyard, where dust, sap and rain-soaked leaves meet. The composition is framed as sweet and enveloping, but with a sharp flicker of nettle at the top and a limited run of just 75 bottles, reinforcing its collector’s-piece character.
Extra info
Only 75 bottles were produced, making it a very small limited edition. Zanini describes its fragrances as “smellscapes,” and Ortica Ortica is one of the house’s most explicitly nature-rooted concepts, built around nettle as the point where the idea takes shape.
