Description

Sadonaso by Nasomatto is a fragrance that delves into the exhilarating feeling of secret desires and self-indulgence, offering a provocative yet intriguing scent experience. It opens with a distinct coffee note, which then transitions into a complex heart of musk, tobacco, and sandalwood. The dry-down reveals a sensual blend of vanilla, animalic notes, amber, and tonka, creating a warm, dense, and often controversial trail. This scent is designed to evoke the 'sweat of pleasure,' balancing between sweet and dirty sensations, making it a truly unique and bold statement. 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.
