Founded in Amsterdam in 2007 by Italian perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, Nasomatto was born from his desire to break free from the briefs of industrial perfumery. After an initial series of extrait de parfums, the house gained international recognition with Black Afgano in 2009. Gualtieri remains its perfumer and later developed Orto Parisi, without abandoning Nasomatto.

Nasomatto focuses on highly concentrated, dense creations that are intentionally difficult to classify. Alessandro Gualtieri works intuitively, allowing the materials to guide the composition, while the house prefers to convey an intention rather than publish an olfactory pyramid. The bottles, made in Italy, combine understated glass with wooden or cork caps.

Right now at Fragsplit, 2 Nasomatto fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants: Baraonda, Fantomas.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nasomatto a niche fragrance brand?
Yes. Nasomatto is an independent niche fragrance house founded by Alessandro Gualtieri. It focuses on auteur creations, concentrated extraits and deliberately unconventional communication.
Which Nasomatto fragrance should you try first?
Black Afgano is the best starting point if you want to discover Nasomatto's most recognisable identity. For a warmer approach, Baraonda offers another facet of Gualtieri's work.
Why does Nasomatto not always publish its notes?
The house prefers to present the intention and the desired effect rather than a detailed olfactory pyramid. This approach leaves more room for personal interpretation and the experience on skin.
Where to buy a Nasomatto decant in Switzerland?
At Fragsplit: 1 to 10 ml decants hand-filled from the original bottles, shipped to Switzerland and France.
