Nasomatto Fantomas
An elusive hint, carried out with precision
Nasomatto's own description of Fantomas is a single sentence: an elusive hint of a transgressive act, carried out with the ease of refined precision. The perfume is an Extrait de Parfum from 2020 by Alessandro Gualtieri, and no notes are published. The text therefore gives an attitude (elusive, exact, slightly rule-breaking) and leaves the scent to be found on skin.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
A hint, not a statement
The brand's key word is ‘hint’. Fantomas is described as an elusive suggestion of something transgressive, done so smoothly that it barely registers. That is a description of manner, not of material: the text names no ingredient, and we do not supply one to make the picture feel more complete.
-
Refined precision
The second half of the brand's sentence is about control: ease, refinement, precision. Put together with the first half, it suggests a perfume that wants to be exact rather than loud. That is our reading of the wording only; how the composition achieves it, nobody outside the house can tell you.
-
Four mirrored sides
The bottle carries its own version of the idea. The cap is walnut wood wrapped in a thin metal casing with four reflective sides, so the object catches the light while the contents stay private. Wear the perfume on skin, give it time, and judge it as you would any extrait: close up, and more than once.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Wearing it
Fantomas is an extrait, so precision applies to the sprayer too: one or two sprays at the base of the throat or on the wrists are enough. The brand sets no season and no occasion. Because its idea is about the subtle and the elusive, it is worth testing in quiet conditions first, before you decide where it belongs.
Who it is for
For people who like a perfume to have a manner, an attitude with a little edge, and who are happy to choose it on that alone. If you prefer discretion to announcement, the brand's wording is likely to appeal. It has no gender label. If you need a note list to decide, look for a different perfume.
Why choose Nasomatto Fantomas
Fantomas, from 2020, is short on facts and long on attitude, which is how Nasomatto tends to write about its perfumes. Choose it if the bottle itself, with its cap of walnut wood and metal, and the closed formula are part of what draws you.

Questions
Frequently asked
What are the notes?
The brand does not reveal them: Fantomas comes with a short description of an attitude, not a note pyramid. We therefore name no ingredients and make no guesses about the scent. Wearing it is the only way to know.
How would you describe it in one line?
In the brand's terms: an elusive hint of a transgressive act carried out with refined ease. That is a manner, not a scent, so read it as a mood and let your skin supply the rest.
What is the cap made of?
Walnut wood wrapped in a thin metal casing with four reflective sides, according to the brand. It is part of the bottle's design, not a hint about the contents.
What concentration is it?
It is an Extrait de Parfum of 30 ml. That is a dense concentration meant to stay close to the skin and last, so start with one or two sprays and see how it develops.

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
