“Nasomatto” translates from Italian as ‘crazy nose’.

Alessandro Gualtieri, known as 'the Nose' is one of the highest esteemed perfumers in the world. Gualtieri was designing fragrances for world-renowned brands like Versace, Fendi, and Helmut Lang, among the few, and building a successful career collaborating with various artists, he felt rejected more and more for his radical concepts. The only solution to unleashing his creative vision was to break free and build his own brand. Over the years, Gualtieri was obsessed with traveling and favored a composition style markedly different from Europe’s. While traveling to Oman, India, and Saudi Arabia, he observed a very different approach to fragrance making, learning and absorbing as much as possible about the countries’ ancient perfume-making techniques, which years later, as an independent agent, allowed him to pour all his experiences and knowledge into creating incredibly unique fragrances under his brand, which is now known to the world as Nasomatto.
