Nasomatto is the olfactory research platform of The Nose. Each fragrance is a true artistic expression of the creator. Only top quality ingredients that have been researched worldwide are used, sometimes at great risk. The acquisition of knowledge, personal experimentation and observation are the basis of a work in which each element plays an important role and contributes to the overall vision. Nasomatto was created in 2007 by Alessandro Gualtieri. This project imposed itself to him as a revenge, as a desperate access, after the restrictions imposed by the inflexible regulations suffered in his previous professional activities. While working for multinational companies and creating perfumes for high-end perfumery brands from raw materials that were highly questionable from a quality point of view, Alessandro, nicknamed 'The Nose', had to follow specific instructions and face the dictatorship of trends, "What is 'In' this season and what is not". He felt frustrated by a system that only served to stifle his creativity. It was during these years of work that he earned the name "Crazy Nose", because of his bold creations, always closer to his own vision, off the beaten path, combining strange ingredients and writing unusual formulas. To break with his past, to be able to express himself fully, Alessandro answered his need to become independent and created his own brand, 'Nasomatto' which literally translates as 'Crazy Nose' in Italian.For The Nose, delivering the olfactory pyramids is not of great interest. Nor is listing the ingredients used in his compositions. He holds the raw materials in great respect. For him, revealing them can limit the olfactory process and mislead. In the past, it was customary to consider perfume as a magic potion whose composition had to remain a well-kept secret. And it is this approach that The Nose wants to preserve. He wants everyone to be able to smell subjectively, without interpretation, without influence, to become one with the fragrance, thus offering a space of freedom. I start working on something but at some point, things take shape on their own" - The Nose

An example - Black Afgano

Black Afgano evokes the best quality hashish. This scent embodies reconnecting with happiness through three simple actions: light up, inhale and exhale. The main olfactory inspiration comes from the moment of burning a piece of the best quality hashish and the very first puff.hashish is a cannabis resin known for its euphoric, soporific and calming effects. It relieves anxiety. Under the effects of this substance, the brain, as it were, disintegrates the present moment to offer a short-lived escape from reality. Hash is usually consumed in small pieces smoked in a pipe, hookah or in a joint.it took six years of constant testing and research, burning and breathing, to come up with Black Afgano. After its launch in 2009, the fragrance became a best-seller all over the world. Black Afgano is the result of a research that aims to awaken the effects of a fleeting happiness.
