Black Afgano

An unnamed raw sensation, met on your skin
Nasomatto Baraonda is an Extrait de Parfum by Alessandro Gualtieri that the brand presents as a raw taste sensation. Nasomatto publishes no notes for it, only a poetic line about a stirring in the air. With nothing to read in advance, the sensible way to meet this perfume is a 10 ml decant worn over several days.

On the skin
The brand's text speaks of a quest to evoke a powerful, mighty whisper, a stirring that, in the brand's words, joins everything and nothing. It is abstract on purpose. No ingredient is named, so we do not guess at one, and we cannot tell you what the scent contains.
That same sentence joins two opposites: something quiet and something forceful at the same time. It describes an intention, not a recipe, and whether the idea works for you can only be judged by wearing it. The sample is built for exactly that kind of judgement.
A perfume with no published notes is best approached without expectations. Spray it, let the first impression pass, and return to it later in the day before you decide. As an extrait it is dense, so what you smell at first may not be what you smell later.
Testing it
Begin with a light touch on the inside of the wrists, since the brand speaks of a powerful effect delivered quietly, and add more only after it has settled. Nasomatto names no season and no occasion, so try it in the situations where you expect to wear it. Revisit it on a second and third day.
This sample is for people who find abstract language more intriguing than a list of notes and who like to build their own picture of a perfume. It suits anyone willing to spend a few days with an unfamiliar scent. If you need to know the ingredients beforehand, choose a perfume with a published pyramid.
With no notes to compare against your tastes, a full bottle is a leap of faith. A decant removes most of that risk. FragranceGems fills it from the original bottle into a 10 ml glass spray vial, and we label it. It is not a brand sample, and the brand is not involved.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

Nasomatto does not publish any, and neither do we. The brand gives only a short, abstract description, so the smell is something you discover on your own skin.
Yes. We pour 10 ml from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and label it. It is a decant, not a Nasomatto sample, and we are not affiliated with the brand.
It is an Extrait de Parfum, the brand's only version of Baraonda. The extrait concentration makes it dense, so a light hand is wise for a first trial.
The brand names no season or occasion. That is the point of a sample: try it on a normal day, in the evening, in different weather, and see where it feels right for you.
The brand
Nasomatto publishes no notes. Alessandro Gualtieri, the Italian perfumer known as The Nose, gives each perfume a sentence or two about the feeling or effect it aims for and leaves the rest to the wearer. That makes this house a special case for samples: with no pyramid to go by, the only way to know what Black Afgano or Baraonda is like is to wear it. A 10 ml decant of the Extrait de Parfum gives you the time to do that properly.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
