Nasomatto Blamage
Bad judgement, by the brand's own account
Calling your own creation unwise is an unusual choice for a perfume house, and Nasomatto makes it for Blamage, an Extrait de Parfum from 2014 by Alessandro Gualtieri. The brand presents it as the product of bad judgement. No notes are published, so that candid line is all the description there is, and the scent is yours to discover on skin.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
A perfume that admits fault
Most brand texts promise something. Nasomatto's page for Blamage does the reverse and calls it unwise, unfortunate, the result of bad judgement. We read this as the house joking about itself, though the brand does not explain it, so take that as our interpretation. What it does not do is say anything about the contents.
-
No promise, no pyramid
With no claim about the scent and no notes published, there is nothing to hold the perfume up against. You are left with the extrait itself and your own reaction to it, which is a fair way to judge any perfume, if an unusual starting point.
-
Each cap its own
The cap is hazelwood lacquered in white, and the brand states that shapes and sizes may differ from bottle to bottle, because each one reflects the uniqueness of nature. The cap on your bottle may therefore not match the photo. Try the perfume on skin and judge it once it has settled, not on the first spray.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
As an extrait, Blamage needs only one or two sprays behind the ears or on the wrists. The brand gives no season, no occasion and no description of the smell, so test it in the conditions you have in mind. Let it settle before deciding, and wear it once or twice more before you judge it for good.
Who it is for
For people with a sense of humour about perfume, who value a house that says less than it could. It suits the curious who are happy to decide by wearing it. The house gives it no gender label. If you want certainty about the notes before choosing, this is not the perfume for you.
Why choose Nasomatto Blamage
Blamage, from 2014, shows how little Nasomatto leans on conventional selling. The text tells you nothing about the smell and a little about the house's self-image, and the perfumer is Alessandro Gualtieri. Choose it for that candour and for a white lacquered cap that may differ from bottle to bottle.

Questions
Frequently asked
What are the notes?
The brand does not publish any for Blamage; its page offers only the line about bad judgement. We have no source for ingredients and do not guess them. The scent can only be learned by wearing it.
Why does the brand call it unwise?
Nasomatto's wording describes it as an unwise, unfortunate creation born of bad judgement. The brand does not explain the choice. We take it as deliberate self-mockery, but that is our reading, and it says nothing about quality or scent.
Will my cap look like the one in the photo?
Perhaps not exactly. The brand says cap shapes and sizes may differ, since each one reflects the uniqueness of nature. The cap is hazelwood lacquered in white. The photo shows one example.
Is it suitable as a gift?
For someone who likes unusual perfume and a little humour, yes. The composition is undisclosed, so the recipient cannot know the scent in advance; that suits a curious person, less so someone who wants to pick by notes.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
