Nasomatto Sadonaso is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Alessandro Gualtieri. Sadonaso opens with Coffee, settles into a heart of Musk, Sandalwood, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Amber, Animalic, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Nasomatto's Sadonaso carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Sadonaso is a wildly polarising scent that you absolutely need to test on skin, not just a strip. The 'urinal cake' opening is real for many, but for those whose skin chemistry unlocks it, it transforms into a uniquely dirty, musky vanilla. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you dare, it's addictively sensual and artfully perverse.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

This is not an office scent; its intense animalic and musky nature would be highly inappropriate. It excels on dates, especially in intimate settings, given its 'sexy' and 'seductive' reputation among fans. While too intense for everyday casual wear, some might enjoy its unique character for a statement evening out, but it's far too 'dirty' for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Sadonaso opens with a challenging, raw animalic musk that battles for attention with a strong, dark coffee note. As the initial daring blast subsides, a creamy, almost lactonic vanilla emerges, softened by powdery tonka and warm amber. Tobacco weaves through, adding a leathery edge alongside rich sandalwood, all underpinned by that compellingly 'dirty' musky core, creating a complex, provocative and deeply sensual dry down.
