Nasomatto Sadonaso Extrait

Description

Sadonaso is Nasomatto's 2023 ode to bitter coffee and skin-warm animalic sweetness. Created by Alessandro Gualtieri, it opens with a bracing, almost-burnt coffee blast, abrasive at first, before mellowing into a musky, tobacco-laced vanilla-amber drydown. Fragrantica's own review title, "The Orgy Won't Happen," hints at the intentionally provocative, sensual character; reviewers note it's a fragrance that "just gets better" the longer it sits on skin.

Scent Character

• Sweet: 56%
• Woody: 31%
• Smoky & Resinous: 12% (tobacco-amber warmth; no agarwood in the formula)

Translation: a sweet, animalic gourmand built on coffee and vanilla-amber, with just enough woody-resinous depth to keep it from turning cloying.

FAQ

Is Sadonaso sweet or bitter? Both. A burnt-coffee opening softens into a sweet, animalic vanilla-amber drydown that many say improves the longer it wears.
