Black Afgano

An undisclosed scent built on persuasion and charm
Nasomatto Pardon is a 2011 Extrait de Parfum by the perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. The house gives no notes for it, only the idea of persuasion with elegance and charm. With no ingredient list to picture, the honest way to know it is to wear it, which is exactly what a 10 ml decant is for.

On the skin
Many perfumes begin with an ingredient; Pardon begins with an effect: persuasion, carried out with elegance and charm. That is what the brand says, and it says nothing about what is inside. We do not fill the gap, so nothing on this page describes a note.
Nasomatto's wording speaks of masculine elegance, yet the house puts no gender label on Pardon. We take that as the picture behind the idea, not as a rule about who may wear it. How the scent behaves on you matters more than the wording.
A perfume without published notes deserves patience. Apply it to skin, go about your day and then notice what remains. The bottle carries a cap of precious briarwood, which is a detail of the object and not a clue to the scent.
Testing it
Apply a restrained amount to clean skin, on the chest or neck rather than on paper, and wait before judging, since the opening minutes of a perfume with no published notes say little. Return to it later that day and again on another. Try it among people too, as the idea is about presence.
Aimed at people who like a perfume to carry an attitude, and who are fine with choosing it on that footing. If a quiet, polished presence appeals to you, you will recognise the idea; if you need notes first, you may not. No gender label is given, so any wearer who likes the idea can try it.
When a brand publishes no notes, descriptions and lists tell you little, and a decant is the only direct way to know the perfume. Nasomatto's method is plain: name the purpose, keep the formula closed. Our 10 ml decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample.
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, so we list none and make no guesses. The decant is how you find out how it smells on your own skin.
The wording is masculine, yet no gender is attached to Pardon, so we list it as unisex. Let the idea of quiet persuasion and the way it behaves on your skin decide.

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.
