The Story of Black Afgano

Nasomatto is a small niche house led by Italian perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, known for a small number of very daring fragrances. Black Afgano has become the house’s most famous fragrance, with its distinctive small bottle and wooden cap, and a scent that impresses or astonishes from the very first wear.

Black Afgano’s Notes and How It Develops

The fragrance opens with green herbal notes alongside Davana, Saffron and Thyme, an unconventional opening that paves the way for the depth of the composition.

Then a heart of Resins, Woods, Tobacco and Coffee emerges, with a touch of Berries, Cinnamon and Violet. The base settles on Oud, Incense, Amber, Animalic Notes, Guaiac Wood, Musk, Cedarwood, Tonka Bean, Gurjun Balsam, Ambroxan and Vanilla, giving a dark, smoky scent that lasts a very long time.

Tips for Wearing Black Afgano

• Spray on your pulse points: the neck, behind the ears and the inner wrists. Body heat helps release the scent gradually.
• Don’t rub your wrists together after spraying. Rubbing breaks the top notes and changes the balance of the opening.
• Two to three sprays are enough for most occasions. Add one spray on your clothes if you want it to last longer.
• Moisturize your skin with an unscented cream before spraying. Moisturized skin holds fragrance longer.

How to Care for Your Fragrance

Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity, ideally in its box inside a closet, not in the bathroom or the car. Close the cap tightly after each use to limit the oils’ exposure to air.
