Nasomatto Sadonaso
Pleasure of the senses, as the stated purpose
Sadonaso starts from a belief rather than a scent: that life has no purpose beyond the pleasure of the senses. It is an Extrait de Parfum from 2023, made by Alessandro Gualtieri for Nasomatto, and it carries a secret desire that the maker does not even know yet. No notes are published, so the scent is for your own senses to judge.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
A purpose, stated
The brand's premise is short: the pleasure of the senses as the only purpose. That puts the perfume's job in the wearer's own experience, not in a list of ingredients or an occasion. It is a point of view more than a recipe, and no note is named to support it.
-
The secret desire
Alongside it sits a secret desire that, in the brand's words, even its maker does not yet know. Nasomatto calls this secret the true future. It is a curious thing to attach to a perfume: unfinished, forward-looking and unexplained. We do not try to explain it, and nothing in the text hints at what the scent contains.
-
Black lacquer, glossy finish
The cap is beech wood lacquered in layers of black paint, then given a transparent glossy finish. That detail is about how the object looks and feels in the hand. As with every perfume without published notes, the scent is best judged on skin, patiently, as a dense extrait that stays close.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Since the brand puts the senses first, the direct approach fits: apply one or two sprays to skin and pay attention to how it feels, not only to how it smells. An extrait is concentrated, so restraint helps. The brand attaches it to no season or occasion, so you set the moment yourself, a quiet evening or any day you want to try it.
Who it is for
For people who enjoy a perfume with a stated point of view, and who are happy to approach it as an experience before a description. It carries no gender label. If you want to know the notes before trying, Sadonaso offers no pyramid to read and is better left for later.
Why choose Nasomatto Sadonaso
Sadonaso dates from 2023, which makes it a newer addition to the Nasomatto line, again by Alessandro Gualtieri. Its idea is a philosophy rather than a scent description, and its cap is layered black lacquer. Choose it for that philosophy and for a composition you meet without preconceptions.

Questions
Frequently asked
What are the notes?
There are none to report: Nasomatto does not publish notes for Sadonaso, and the product page speaks only of the pleasure of the senses and a secret desire. We do not invent ingredients, so wearing it is the way to find out.
Is Sadonaso one of the newer perfumes?
It dates from 2023, so it is newer than the house's earliest perfumes. It is an Extrait de Parfum made by Alessandro Gualtieri, in a 30 ml bottle.
What is the cap made of?
Beech wood lacquered in layers of black paint, with a transparent glossy finish, according to the brand. It is a detail of the object and says nothing about the scent.
How should I apply it?
Spray once or twice on clean skin and give it time before forming an opinion. An extrait is concentrated, and with no note list to guide you, a measured first test tells you more than heavy application.

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
