Green-spicy intensity
First of all I would like to express my enthusiasm for the concept of Nasomatto.

Every fragrance I've smelled from this producer so far is something special. Not everyday stuff. And they all have a high intensity. According to the motto: Small portions with great performance.

And I'd like to break a lance for 30 cc bottles. I wish there were more suppliers who would offer their fragrances in 30 ml portions in Nasomatto style.

Since 30 ml is not really a lot, bottles with this filling quantity often look a bit small and you sometimes get the impression that you are buying an item from a children's shop. Not like this. The concentrated contents are in a heavy, high-quality glass bottle. You've got something in your hand. I'm enjoying this. And so that the entire structure does not appear too tiny, a massive wooden cap is added to each bottle, which is disproportionately large. Every product designer would probably turn away with horror, firstly because the proportions are irritating and secondly because at first glance they present a certain risk of accidents, or rather accidents.

But the crazy nose (naso matto) solved that well. The glass bottle is solid enough to remain stable and the appearance is so irritating that it is interesting again. You could say the appearance is pretty cool and stylish. And the materials used are all first-class.

For those special fragrances that you probably don't want to wear every day, 30 ml is really a good amount. I imagine the colognes of Roja (which I am keen on). I don't pay 270 Euro for 100 ml. But I would accept 30 ml for 90,- Euro in a high-quality bottle, even if that would not mean a price difference per millilitre. This bottle size is customer-oriented and makes it possible to have a few more vials in your collection without having a supply for the next thirty years
Now for the scent. He fascinates me very much. I like things like Davana, Labdanum, Vetiver, Laurel or Opoponax. These are not necessarily the most catchy fragrances and the perfumer has to make an effort to integrate them well. But if that succeeds, they tickle the nose, are exciting and delightful. Like here.

It almost seems as if you've taken Jubilation 25 from Amouage as a basis, removed a few things, and "grounded" the scent.

Because it smells like earth. And bittersweet, tart herbs with creaky root wood. Initially spicy green with a herbaceous freshness, then a base of woody herbal sweetness appears. Intense and forceful. Not a crowdpleaser, but an attractive character head.

The fragrance has a good intensity and shelf life. You get something for your money and the 30ml should give you many years of pleasure. I like this crazy Italian very much.

Back to the past
I personally don't like it when I read the hundredth commentary on a fragrance and how differently everyone perceives the fragrance and basically reads up and down the pyramid of fragrances.

Everyone has a different feeling, everyone has a different nose and, as is well known, taste and smell are debatable.

It's the stories behind the scent that interest me and it's these scents I'm looking for and that's why I ended up with Absinthe.

The comments about haystacks and over the mountains were reason enough for me to get carried away with a blind buy.

So the parcel arrived...I am sitting on my couch and the warm sun is shining on my back...I open the parcel and see the falcon with its greenish contents...

The first sprayer goes to my wrist...I lean back and smell my wrist and a journey into my past begins as I never expected it to begin.

In my youth my clique and I went to Austria...we had a little mountain hut for us alone and it was one of the most beautiful times I remember with pleasure.

In the hut it was always a bit cooler and the cellar somehow smelled slightly musty, earthy, woody, damp - so like a really old-fashioned mountain hut...

When I smelled on my wrist, I was immediately in this cellar...I hear my friends laughing at me, I smell this old mountain hut and feel the longing and lightness for this time.

At that time I didn't find the smell really disturbing, it was just there, but today it is something very special...for me Nasomatto Absinth is something like a time machine, which brings me back to this hut of my youth with every spray over and over again.

That's exactly why I love this scent!

Yearning for autumn
I'm about to discover Nasomatto and Absinthe - yes well - is flashing me right now totally.
The name of the green fairy alone triggers pictures for me, as it does for the previous speakers... from Johnny Depp (From Hell) to Heuschober (M Night Shymalan - The Village).

But this isn't supposed to be a film review, we're talking about perfume. Absinthe is green, deep green. Notes of hay, weed, and yes... Absinthe and wormwood. Herb and yes - slightly dirty.
The start is bang... i think I'm in the barn... a wonderful smell for an autumn lover like me. This is how mountain biking smells in autumn when harvesting takes place, when hay is harvested, when fields are trite.

Then the fragrance will soften, lay in the hay, pictures of - but let's leave that... Heaven and hell are so close together sometimes.

Absinthe - for me a scent of longing that embraces me and takes me with it, that treats me well and leaves me happy when it says goodbye.

Thanks for reading!
Smells good,
Lars

Damp jazz cellar
Musty earth, damp, mossy stones, mushrooms on the ceiling, mould in the corners, the atmosphere stuffy and warm, the air impregnated by cocktails and whisky, in the toilets is f...

But now enough of the partly negative associations. It's the end of 2020, I'm on holiday and today I thought I'd like to go on a trip again. And some music and just dropping it is not wrong.

I would like to quickly come to the point of how I originally discovered this fragrance and to draw the bow as I came to my catchy words.
I was actually looking for a perfume that embodied an old jazz bar with brick walls, armchairs sitting out and old wooden furniture. Basement atmosphere with Bing Crosby, something like that. Why didn't somebody come up with the idea of bringing this little cutie here under my nose a long time ago... Well, I didn't know the world of niche fragrances well enough.

Some people will now moan that this fragrance has nothing to do with interiors and forest and herbs and soooooo...
In Frankfurt alone, I could think of two or three basement pubs that could only shake their heads. Not to mention other establishments with a clear jazz influence.
The fragrance also seems less green to me, but rather brownish. But that's the way it is.

Now to the essentials.
The top note is very restrained and ranges between moist minerality and musty haze. One is almost willing to say that our friend Gualtieri here has bottled only one EDT instead of an Extrait.
Ha, wait until body temperature has done its work here and the cellar door opens to release this drunken monster. It's there, it's present, it's strong, and it's subliminal, subtle and elegant.
He moves delicately to the bar, enjoys his The Last Word (perhaps a bit more herbaceous than I've indicated before) and then joins his musicians on stage.
As the performance progresses, the elegance of this fragrance continues to emerge, becoming more and more earthy and muted over time, but without losing its presence and style.
In the meantime, the door is opened and there is a breath of fresh air, which only swirls the spores through the room and the lime and lemon oils with it. Now and then one or two people leave the room and come back and sometimes a new bottle is opened and brings a new, sometimes herbaceous, sometimes woody aroma into the room.
Unfortunately Absinthe fails an encore and leaves me much too early, when you are used to ten hours and more of Nasomatto. But still, eight hours of performance are remarkable for this upscale jazz musician.
There is applause and the bar is empty.
Why, of all things, would absinthe be the name of this fragrance... Wasn't there something forbidden there ;)

BVB Westfalenstadion main grandstand and before that onfer Kirmes or the Christmas market
Yes, that's how this perfume seems to me to be the Ruhr Original of the Corona period with the usual cuts.
Nasomatto typical, the fragrance has a very strong concentration and for a "green" fragrance also a long shelf life and silage.

A longing for normality drives us all these days. I personally miss the football, the restaurant and the rough and busy life in the big city where I sometimes work.
The fragrance opens with GRAS (the grass) pure, similar to Bond No9's Bleecker Street and then becomes almost gourmand sweet with caramel notes.

Is definitely a unisex and can be worn well by her and him on the following occasions.

Playing golf on the freshly cut green,
In the restaurant
in the office
on a date with a walk in the green :)

I can hardly express it, but it smells of my youth (south grandstand and before that a round of autoscouting at the old market and pilgrimage through the Westfalenpark to the "big" love.
Is for me a beautiful fragrance for spring when the world and nature awakes and hopefully in 2021 we all can live again as usual.

Opening / course: GREEN (lawn), then caramel and something mossy
Shelf life (Nasomatto I don't say more, but here a fresh scent sometimes not 24 hours :) )
Silage (in the office maximum 2 shocks otherwise headaches for the employees)
Flacon (Elegant with a real wooden cap and a small travel cap, I find Nasomatto fragrances on business and private trips always very elegant, but also otherwise rather the large flacons)
Conclusion

A fresh and not crushing Nasomatto that is green and gourmand

Green, Earthy, Woody and Leathery. A blind buy for me but definitely a lovely fragrance. Another winner from the house of Nasomatto.

Sure, the drink involves a sugar cube. Doesn’t mean that combination works well scent-wise. Out of tune
