Description

Nasomatto's Pardon presents itself as a fragrance designed to embody masculine elegance and charm. It opens with a sophisticated blend of magnolia and other floral notes, setting a refined tone. As it develops, a rich heart of dark chocolate, tonka bean, and cinnamon emerges, adding a warm, gourmand, and spicy depth. The scent settles into a powerful and lasting base of agarwood (oud) and sandalwood, creating a woody and subtly smoky dry down that feels both vintage and distinctly modern. This is a scent that aims to persuade with its refined character and confident presence. Perfumer: Alessandro Gualtieri

About NASOMATTO

Nasomatto is an experimental niche perfume brand founded in 2007 by Italian perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, known as 'The Nose,' who crafts bold, provocative extrait de parfums like Black Afgano and Blamage without revealing full ingredient lists, instead describing their emotional effects such as hysteria or fleeting happiness. Drawing from his travels to Oman, India, and Saudi Arabia, and a philosophy of losing control to intuition, the brand features artistic square bottles with unique caps symbolizing each scent's essence. Its signature style blurs gender lines, targets risk-takers, and pushes perfumery boundaries as an olfactory art project.
