Nasomatto Narcotic V. Extrait

Description

Narcotic V. known on Fragrantica as Narcotic Venus. Is Nasomatto's tribute to tuberose in its most intense, buttery form. Created by Alessandro Gualtieri and launched in 2008, it commands attention with a heady white-floral bouquet of tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom, propped up by a green, minty opening and a woody-musk base. It's an unapologetically maximalist white floral, in the tradition of niche tuberose classics like Frederic Malle's Carnal Flower, but with Nasomatto's signature intensity.
