Nasomatto
Crazy nose: provocative perfumery that breaks conventions.
Nasomatto — Italian for "crazy nose" — is the Amsterdam-based house founded in 2007 by perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, after years composing for Diesel, Fendi and Versace. The line debuted with Hindu Grass, Duro, Narcotic Venus, Silver Musk and Absinth, and quickly established a reputation for short ingredient-list secrecy and uncompromising, almost confrontational compositions. Gualtieri presents perfume as a deliberately under-explained art object: bottles are squat black rectangles topped with sculptural wooden caps, notes are rarely disclosed, and concentrations sit at the extrait end of the spectrum. Black Afgano, a dense hashish-and-resin study, became the brand's defining release and a touchstone for a generation of niche collectors. A sister label, Orto Parisi, extends Gualtieri's work into even more visceral territory.
DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
