Nasomatto Duro
Strength as the stated aim, notes unpublished
Duro is among Nasomatto's oldest perfumes: the brand's own page dates it to 2007, and Alessandro Gualtieri made it as an Extrait de Parfum. Nasomatto says it aims to enhance every manifestation of male strength and publishes no notes. So what this page can offer is a stated aim and a solid bottle; what the scent is like remains yours to find out.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
An aim, stated plainly
Few perfumes put their purpose in one short sentence, and Duro's is about strength: to enhance all its manifestations. The wording is Nasomatto's and speaks of male strength, though the house gives no gender label. It is a goal for the effect on the wearer, not a description of the contents, which stay undisclosed.
-
Strength without a note list
In a perfume with published notes, ‘strong’ would be a claim you could check against ingredients. Here you cannot. The only evidence is the brand's intention and the concentration: an extrait is dense and meant to stay on skin. How that strength feels, and whether it is bold or contained, only your own test will show.
-
A cap of wenge
The bottle backs the theme with its cap, made of wenge, which the brand calls one of the strongest types of timber. It is a material choice for the object, not a statement about the scent. Spray Duro on skin, let it settle, and judge it after some time rather than in the first moments.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Duro is an extrait and its theme is strength, so go by restraint: one or two sprays on the chest, then wait. Nasomatto names no season or occasion. If the idea suits a situation where you want presence, test it there in advance, not for the first time on the day it matters.
Who it is for
For people who respond to a bold, direct statement of purpose and are content to find out the scent by wearing it. The brand's wording refers to male strength, but there is no gender label, so the question is whether the idea of strength appeals to you. Not for anyone who needs notes to decide.
Why choose Nasomatto Duro
On the brand's own pages Duro is one of the house's oldest perfumes, dated 2007, from the Italian perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. Choose it for the directness of its idea and for a closed formula that you get to know on your own skin.

Questions
Frequently asked
What are the notes?
The brand publishes none. Nasomatto describes Duro only by its aim, and we have no source that names ingredients, so we neither list nor guess them. Wearing it is the way to find out.
How long has Duro existed?
The brand's own product page says it was released in 2007, which makes it one of the house's oldest perfumes. The 30 ml bottle is an Extrait de Parfum.
Is it only for men?
The brand's wording mentions male strength, but Nasomatto sets no gender label, so we list Duro as unisex. If the idea of strength appeals to you, that is reason enough to try it.
How much should I use?
An extrait is concentrated, so one or two sprays are a sensible start. Because Duro is meant to be strong, add more only after the first application has settled and you have seen how it behaves on your skin.
The house
About Nasomatto
Nasomatto is the project of the Italian perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, known as ‘The Nose’. The house does not publish notes: each perfume comes with a short evocation of a feeling or effect, as a 30 ml extrait de parfum with a cap made of a natural material such as oak, cork or wenge.

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
