Black Afgano
On request
Strength as the stated aim, notes unpublished
Duro is a Nasomatto Extrait de Parfum by Alessandro Gualtieri, released in 2007 according to the brand's own page. Nasomatto says only that it aims to enhance every manifestation of male strength, and it publishes no notes. With nothing but an intention to go on, a 10 ml decant is the practical way to learn what the scent is actually like on you.

On the skin
Most perfume pages list ingredients. This one has a sentence: Duro is meant to enhance all the manifestations of male strength. We have no source that names a single material, so we neither list nor guess any. The idea is the only thing we can honestly describe.
The brand does say something concrete about the object: the cap is made of wenge, one of the strongest types of timber. It is a deliberate choice that fits the theme of strength, though it tells you nothing about the scent inside the bottle.
Because the formula stays closed, the character of Duro is yours to discover. A decant lets you notice how it opens, how it develops and how it ends on your skin, and write down your own impression of a perfume that gives no vocabulary of its own.
Testing it
As an Extrait it is concentrated, so begin with one or two sprays on the chest and wait. The brand names no season or occasion, which leaves the choice to you. Wear the sample on an evening and on a day when you want presence, and judge by what you notice rather than by the theme.
People who enjoy a perfume with a clear idea behind it and do not mind that the formula is private. Nasomatto's wording speaks of male strength, yet it sets no gender label and we list Duro as unisex. If you need to know the notes before buying, this is not the perfume for that.
With no notes published, there is no way to check the scent against your taste in advance, and a strong Extrait is a costly guess. A 10 ml decant replaces the guess with a few real wearings, so you know whether the idea suits you before you consider the 30 ml bottle.
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.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

A 10 ml decant of Duro, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and Nasomatto is not involved.
The brand publishes none. It describes Duro only by its aim, and we have no source that names ingredients, so we do not list or guess them.
The brand's wording mentions male strength, but it sets no gender label, so we list Duro as unisex. A sample lets you decide how it suits you.
An Extrait is concentrated, so one or two sprays are a sensible start. Add more only after the first application has shown you what it does.
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
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
