Duro means hard/tough

And this is exactly what is unfortunately all too often missed in our soft-hearted society these days.

Duro is the guy in the 80s who leans against a wall and smokes his cigarette and gives a shit what you think. He is also not interested in the gender discussion and he does not understand it for a long time. Even after you explained to him that you feel "offended" by his smoke he didn't care about you wimp. Nevertheless you at least got him to check you out for a short time. He gave you a short pitiful look (he also had to smile) and then turned away again. He had better things to do than to talk to you gender aunt.

Duro is a fragrance that must also suit the corresponding man. If you feel totally hip in your modern high water pants you should NOT wear Duro.
Duro is for the "real" men.

PS: I hope nobody feels offended but rather has to smile about the comment :)

Manni

Manni's our chimney sweep. What am I saying - not just our chimney sweep! He takes care of the fireplaces and heating systems in our entire district.

It's the mid-1990s, and in my childish naivety I still don't have the faintest presentiment that Manni and his colleagues, at least in my romanticized imagination dressed in black, carrying cylinders and smeared with soot, will be in dispute about twenty years later about their professional monopoly. Not to mention I knew what the word monopoly position meant at all. I have to go further - I probably hadn't even heard it yet.

Dressed in black, carrying cylinders and smeared with soot, Manni never really was. But the friendly smiling comic chimney sweep on Mannis white Fiat Ducato - that was it!
Manni is quite a little man. Slightly stocky, beginning tonsure on the head and a neat mustache under the nose. In our neighbourhood everyone knows him of course - and everyone calls him by his nickname "Schorni".
The neat mustache often makes him appear grim, but he is an incredibly friendly, serene guy, who never lets even a hint of hecticness arise. After every visit in his function as heating specialist he leaves a small black chimney sweep plastic figure - it looks funny and, more importantly, it brings luck!

Manni has another very important role for me personally: He is the father of my best friend. Every afternoon after school I go to "Schornis" and watch TV with my friend. Manni walks from time to time through the living room - and always pulls a fragrance tail with him.

The years went by, but the fragrance trail burned into the furthest corner of my olfactory memory.

It's now 2018 and Manni retired a few years ago just in time for the monopoly overturning of his profession. Several decades in the service of our neighbourhood - so that we always have good warmth in winter.

A few weeks ago, I was standing to the left of Manni's son, my best childhood friend. To his right is a beautiful woman dressed all in white with tears in her eyes - they are holding hands. Before them the altar.
I was a lot less nervous than those two. My only job as best man I held in my hands in the form of the ring box - completely clarified and without any hustle and bustle.

I turned around and saw a rather small, slightly stocky man with quite a few grey hairs and a thin moustache standing under his nose in the first pew. He looked friendly, even touched.

In front of the church, accompanied by the ringing of bells, I embraced the bridegroom's father at the congratulating handshake. An all too familiar smell shot into my nasal cavities.

-------------------------------------<<font color="#ffff00">-==- proudly presents Epilogue: I strongly doubt that it was already a Duro prototype in the mid-nineties. Should anyone have an idea of what kind of Duro fragrance twin was popular in the 90s, please let me know. The resemblance to the Nasomatto is in any case - so I could perceive it again only a few weeks ago and currently confirm it by a test of the Duro - striking.

With the best will in the world I can think of no better wearer for this fragrance than the manni of the 90s - and the manni of the present.
Knarzig-holzig, nevertheless bright, cultivated and at times even reminding of vacation in the Schwedenhütte. Finally a small trace of soot in the process? Yeah, yeah, kind of.
A very mature, very masculine fragrance - and yet for me personally it means one thing above all: childhood - and what grew out of it.

Very helpful Review 36

I think I'm really hot myself!

That was my first thought, but more on that later.

Lately, I've been brave.
I never used to be.
Or in other words, I often just wanted to be like many others. Cute, sweet and just girly. But I'm not, for that my humor is too dirty and the mouth is too big.

My husband likes to wear the Black Afghano, he can also, he is tall, attractive and broad-shouldered. I'm just not, but hey, what the heck, I think to myself, and try the Afghan on me. Goes just unfortunately not at all.
So I went on the search.

Brave, as I am now recently, I ordered Duro blind. The lurid text at the online store I trust: "suitable for men who dare to be themselves."
THAT'S me, I thought to myself!(I'm just not, because I'm a mid-twenties woman with 1.62m height...)
But I dare to be myself.
I'm just not sweet and cheesy, I'm loud and wild.

The first spray, discreetly dosed, almost blew me away. Have I overestimated myself?
No. I find myself really hot. I find myself wicked and a little naughty. I smell like I've snuggled up to a wild, boisterous man.

But that's exactly what makes the Duro. I find it spicy, dark and fresh at the same time. I wear it discreetly, but almost get goosebumps when I have it on my nose.
I find it gloomy and I feel like I'm living in a crypt all in black, but in a positive way!
I feel like a 6'10" goth who has danced the night away and is now making his way home along a forest path at dawn.
I find it fresh, I find it heavy, and I love that very contradiction.

I would love to eat myself up, just physically can't. But my husband thinks that I just wear a perfume that reflects my essence. And this comment is worth a lot, because it comes from a man who thinks with every fragrance "yes, eh quite good".

I like my new perfume-me, and will use the Duro very subtly. Just enough for a mini-rebellion go the girlhood!

After all the rain... not only the forest comes to life.

The last comment on Duro strangely enough dates back quite a while. That's funny.
P.S. I'll dedicate my second commi to him on this great platform.

The days are getting shorter and shorter, the temperatures are gradually adapting and nature is working to the full to be prepared for the really cold times. The dew spreads early in the morning.

And I got in the mood for something new and woody!

I am a city child, born and raised in a medium-sized German city. But of course I was also often on the outskirts of the city and in wooded/rural areas on the way... For me Duro smells like a damp forest in autumn, working with lots of fresh and damp moss on cold stones. Very powerful. But not just like that. It is very linear in its scent, but this moist and powerful moss (subjective sensation) is felt to wear off a bit over time and a very light sweetness is added to the well-balanced wood and the spicy chord. Cold leather flashes through too? I can't smell anything more specific at the moment... but I really like it so far.

I tested Duro three times before I finally decided to buy it. The second time I tested the TF Oud Wood at the same time, which I liked very much, but after 7-8h I hardly smelled a difference... But just in the first hours the power Nasomatto flashed and pulled me into its ban so that I knew I like it very much and the opportunities to wear it I could imagine well.
Now he moved into my collection last Saturday! Freu*

Nowadays you can get it online for less than 100€, which is a very good deal if you like it. Since I did my three tests in a very good offline perfumery... I bought it there, too, for the full retail price. Everything else I could not have made out with my conscience... it was even the last Duro in this perfumery.

He accompanies you for a very long time, with me it is 10-12h (4-spray neck). I find the Sillage very pleasant. In the first 7-8h one is well perceptible on one to two meters, but without being negatively intrusive. Then he goes back from hour to hour.

I'd say it's a scent for people who are stuck in life, who know what they want.
It's not a party scent. Nevertheless I think you can wear it well groomed in the evening at a quiet bar. It can also be worn in the afternoon for shopping or similar purposes, but you should not be dressed too casually with it... the fragrance requires a very expressive wearer, so that its validity comes out well.

Duro gives you the extra portion of Focus. Not because he is exhausting, but because he is so potent and can be easily associated with joie de vivre.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to wearing Duro occasionally in autumn/winter!

Duro?

Nasomatto Duro. My first niche perfume. What can I say? Madness. I'm not an expert on perfume. That's my first comment, too. This perfume did it to me. I always find it very difficult to find a perfume I like. No matter what famous drugstore I went to, it always lacked something for me. Always the same note in it, no heart/passion behind it. So I always came home without perfume. But at Nasomatto Duro I fell in love with shock. A leathery, tangy oud-wood mixture, combined with a beautiful sweet. The leather is less present after a few minutes, what I like very much what comes after is pure passion.
For me my new favorite scent :)
