citrusy yet leathery for me, unique birch scent

sigma363

Wow, this fragrance is a weird one. It smells like a wood dipped in like sugary shit and this fragrance actually pulls off the tree smell, which i dont personally think alot of brands do. This is weird because:

Bottle: 10/10
Smell: 8/10
Atomizer: 2/10
Price: 5/10

Get this if ur into niche's that actually smell alright, and dosent smell like horseshit dipped in dirt and more horseshit.

alibakkar

despite many of neg comments, and that balmage is offensive.
i personally find it calmer than other gaultieri mades.
elegant and calm the toxicity and aggressiveness is not in balmage. yet its dominant fragrance wherever you go.
i got some citrus in the opening that will fade away in few minutes then comes the mixture of wood and leather, super powdery not for hot seasons for sure.
i like it

steve93015

Lavender + smooth leather + woods + musk. I completely dig it, perfect for a cool but sunshiny day.

jackthomas_

Bitter, smoky, musky, metallic, floral, dry birch, very slight hints of creamy sweetness, and leather. Like waking up on a cold and dry morning in the mountains, surrounded by tall birch trees. The smell of ash from the fire of the night prior is prominent in the air. As the sun rises further, its rays shine through the birch trees, hitting the forest floor and waking up its flora. It's a very bright/white fragrance, but also very earthy and smoky. There is some aspect to this fragrance that is very distinct, and I am sure I've smelled it before, but I cannot place it. I blind-bought this, and while I do not regret it, as I like and appreciate it, I fear it will be quite difficult to wear around others.

PsychedBunny

Besides the leather, I smell a bit of green/cannibus. I like it but I don’t love it. It’s definitely hard to wear for a woman. I can see a clean cut man wearing this with a business suit heading into a conference room and having sex with the secretary. It’s a bit of a daring scent and I kinda like that. But not for me.

Ksj_

I'm not exactly sure what I'm smelling here but the notes listed above are misleading. It's not terrible, but it's definitely weird. I'm not sure where you would wear this...

Maybe inside of your own house when you want something strange and unique to wear?

dokei

I blind bought this. I regret it. The notes make you think that this is an inoffensive, woody smokey scent. It is smokey ill tell you that much.
Initially i thought that this smells like some medication i took as a kid and not in a green way.
It is offensive, at least to my nose.
Maybe its bad to my nose but to me it feels like a perfume trying so hard to be special and edgy its just almost unlikeable.

It does last forever, i dont know where one would wear this? A satanic meeting? A rave and youre trying hard to stand out with genuine ew factor?

Might just not be for me.

cocofluff

I don't know how Nasomatto did it, but this fragrance is spectacular. I smell the leather and birch plus I get this intoxicating musk. Its unisex, fully. I wouldn't be able to wer this one anywhere but I love to sniff it.

emper.atrizz

Masterpiece. Nothing like out there. For me intoxicating fragrance that have so many layers and strong carracter.
This is oustanding blamage.

Arber Cami

Heavy stuff, synthetic, leathery, heavy on the aldehydes and white florals and I get some picked cucumber in the back, horrid. Lasts forever, if you spray it on your clothes just throw them away...

Hennessy909

Doesn't smell good, just super complicated.
First spray smells like hell, Needs a few minutes.

KerriZ

A unique and out of the box fragrance. It comes on synthetically strong and confusing. I couldn't really identify the elements at first and the beginning of the dry down didnt really help. Perhaps its because it was created while blindfolded....I would say about 4 hours in I could faintly identify the wood and leather. Six hours and on it became very sweet as if it had vanilla or honey...though I dont see either listed on the notes.

Enrium

Blamage, in keeping with Nasomatto as a brand, is an olfactory artwork. Alessandro Gualtieri is an artist whose compositions tend to be unusual and difficult to describe. I saw a film about the creation of Blamage, and it truly is the result of a most unusual approach. "Blamage" roughly translates from German as "failure", and this is the premise behind this scent, i.e. setting out to "fail". Years in the making, Gualtieri travelled the world to find a blank page of sorts, smelling everything from raw materials to cheap (inaccurate) knock-offs of his own creations. Wanting to eschew tradition, he donned a blindfold and selected raw ingredients at random from shelves to be put into this scent. He then wanted to somehow coax these random ingredients into some sort of cohesion. The resulting scent is, predictably, difficult to pick apart. It is pretty good, if surprisingly safe and wearable.

Blamage opens with a mineralic, even metallic accord, slightly harsh and screechy initially, but settles very quickly. The synthetic opening gives way to an airy yet rounded scent. It is clean and woody, with green-tinged white floral facets and soft woodiness.

The florals bring to mind dried, pressed flowers - faded, dry and muted. There is a dry leaf effect, autumnal and woody. A sweet, musky undertone thanks to some amber-esque molecule underscores this scent, but it is subtle - Blamage reads more woody to my nose.

It becomes powdery as it develops, with the soft, blurry woody-amber accord remaining until final fade. I get a smooth, refined leather note at its later stages, a nice progression of the woody-amber. Sillage is moderate and longevity is long-lasting.

It is a smooth, slightly warm scent, pleasant throughout, not overly synthetic (at least after the first minute or so). It is a modern, muted scent, something along the lines of Escentric Molecules (but better). It is a unisex, year-round daytime scent that is comforting as well as simply smelling good.

A gimmick? Perhaps, but the resulting scent is pleasant and good-quality, and its inspiration and arty background keeps things interesting. Good stuff for a nonsense scent. 4/5.

Myrtillajus

Describing Blamage is absolutely not easy ... at the beginning the combination of ingredients makes me perceive as the sensation of removing from the paper that wraps it a big bouquet of flowers, slightly withered, all this causes me a lot of melancholy, perhaps the feeling that regret gives that he made a mistake (precisely Blamage).
The woods then open up and make my feeling positive, which is now one of absolute tranquility and peace. It's really a beautiful perfume, unfortunately it doesn't last long on me, but I find it very introspective.

Avogard

Very nice and straightforward perfume for (almost) every occasion. Unique, but inoffensive. 2 distinct notes - wood and leather - create a feel of.. mushrooms? Really "groundy" perfume, this is what i imagine a dwarf would smell like.

Bvlgariman2010

Masculine winter wonderland

toosimilar

Perhaps one of the best woody leathery perfumes
Give it a try if you like birch/leather too!

Toobhai

It's unique and Best combination of both leather and musk..

ddquietsnake

Got a sample of it last year, which didn't interest me. Tried it again yesterday and found myself intensely drawn to it.

Did 2 sample sprays on each arm. It's a very inoffensive scent, though very unique. It's unlike anything I've ever smelt before. Words that come to mind are: minimalist, alien, stark, curious. The scent comes and goes, veering between a skin scent and something that just lingers subtlely in your personal space.

Top notes I get are the birch tar and slight leather. On drydown, I don't get the floral or powdery notes, but more a subdued fresh, citrusy scent.

DariaFrancesca74

Great masterpiece by master Alessandro Gualtieri from 2014. Blamage is a senseless and unfortunate creation caused by an erroneous judgement. This fragrance captures unfulfilled expectations, failure and the acceptance of failure. Blamage wants to reveal how much every mistake is permeated with grace, how important it is to become aware of it and above all to have the concern to give in to it. Blamage is a leather and woody triumph of the highest caliber, with an extraordinary temporal olfactory evolution. We are who we are, and we certainly aren't perfect but that's what makes us unique. Blamage is a research aimed at recognizing one's instincts, one's values, one's decisions and actions. The process of eliminating the craving for perfection and accepting one's own imperfection.

Nose for a bouquet

This is yet another Nasomatto, that demanded it be a part of my small collection.

The screechy, camphoric / metallic top, hits first and may make one recoil, but it is really very nice, as it slowly blends in and starts to make sense. It’s sharpness, feels like a very light incense is also present, only noticeable to me, by the way it almost dries out the nostrils. It makes me want to clear them with a strong outward breath. These sharp features remain, although they mellow, while mixing with a milky, sort of fruity note, that I can best describe as melon-like.

As pleasant as this fragrance is, I personally don’t see it as being an everyday fragrance. It’s special. It sets you apart, in an icy elegance, like looking at an otherworldly, white flower, behind a glass container; gorgeous and untouchable. An icy cold fragrance, also for the cold.

My eyebrows raised and my imagination went. It’s different from anything I’ve ever set my nose to experience. The magic of the fragrance, seems to lie in the inference that there is a fusing of things that should not be able to be fused.. for instance, metal and wood.

“The liquid of the fruit
back on the platter, fragrant,
opaque, white..”

An intriguing someone, in a great room, seen from the length of a great hall, dimly lit, with stone walls, adorned with white sculptures, set in a mini castle, cottage, type edifice, with a courtyard of a sea of birch trees and some abstractly cut boxwoods. These beings, inter dimensional? Angelic? Futuristic? In the great room, brightly lit, there is a white fruit from a unique tree in the court yard, that looks like it is made of both metal and wood, sitting on a silver platter, on a white marble table, on white marble floors. It resembles an eggplant in shape and it’s leaves look like pewter. The being stands with others, quietly speaking.. very tall and thin, yet strong in appearance, all with white hair. Walking on air, to the courtyard this one goes. A sleek, silver hovering vehicle there, but they walk left and flash into this time line. The liquid of the fruit, back on the platter, fragrant, opaque, white.. This main individual smells of this fruit. It emanates from the pores, giving the skin an iridescence and translucence, after eating. Modern folks witness this gorgeous person. They smell something amazing and foreign. The experience as a whole, is so beyond, that their minds can not comprehend and they instead, make the choice to ignore. Something writes itself on their hearts and after some days, draws them in, like a special forgotten moment. This.. is Blamage.

LMBelvi

This isn’t something I want to smell like. It’s not that bad but I have several woody scents and a couple leather scents I like much better. This is a bit too much like the aftermath of digging in the garden.

Stefano93

this is another masterpiece, i love this scent, is floral and powdery at first becomes slightly woody when dries down. really long lasting

montgomery99

Vintage, powdery, beautiful. The notes and accords listed here tell nothing of the full picture. It opens green and aldehydic—reminiscent of something Chanel would put out—and quickly becomes sweeter and more floral. There’s a chocolatey sweetness that I can’t put my finger on…white chocolate? The leather is clean and powdery, not bitter and rubbery. To me, it’s a sweeter version of Pardon with more suede and leather nuances than Oud and patchouli. Deeper dry down has fruits and spices (cinnamon?) joining the mix.

While I prefer scents like Black Afgano, I cannot argue that this is not a beautiful, wearable, and approachable scent. If I owned a full bottle, I would reach for it often.

Edit: there's a chemical smell if you're sensitive to ISO E and other similar molecules. Be warned.

Ravenrage

To me it's a very cosy smell. Something comforting that I'd wear curled up under a fluffy beige-gray blanket. I think there's a hint of bergamot, but as an amateur I don't dare to say. Whipped up clean comfort, perfectly unisex. For me this was a safe blind buy that I'm loving more every day.

RottigrlNYC

Beautiful unique fragrance, but I don’t get the notes listed.
Being that Gualtieri(perfumer) never reveals the notes in any of his perfumes, the notes listed in Fragrantica are someone’s guess. And they most likely guessed wrong or what THEY think they’re smelling . So I suggest u sample it for yourself and see if u also love it as much as I do, and don’t worry about what notes are in it. Just enjoy the fragrance in all it’s beautiful mystery…..

crystalistheone

This fragrance is incredible, it is a fruity woody scent that dries down to a sweet leathery-woody scent, I can't get enough of it. 9/10, projection moderate, and lasts about 6 hours on my skin, after 1 week of wearing it I ordered and backup bottle.

Josu01

As far as mistakes go, this mistake is wonderful.

Blamage is beautiful.

Hard to describe, this is so unique. It just goes well on my skin, like others from Nasomatto (and Orto Parisi as well).

Aarix

All I can smell........ is the taste fresh green capsicum :( Fresh, BITTER, a little sweet, and a lot weird. Which is bizarre, since I asked my friend to smell it and she said she could only smell a very strong, sweet musk. For her, when sniffed close from my wrist, she said it simply reminded her of musk candy. How curious! This fragrance seems to play strangely with proximity. I perceive leather and musk, but they're something I can only smell at a distance, in little wafts when the fragrance is very diluted by air. Up close, when smelled deliberately, the capsicum beats out absolutely everything.

Statistically speaking, it will be very hard for me to actually convey what I mean by green capsicum. I am HYPER hyper-sensitive to bitter substances--green capsicum tastes (but does not smell--until I got into fragrances I didn't know such bitterness could be aerosolised) a bit like chewing paracetamol for me (though the capsicum is an order of magnitude more bitter than the medicine, and will effortlessly overwhelm any other flavour in any dish), which apparently is not the case for most adults. As I explore the fragrance world more and more, I'm realising this sensitivity expends to my olfactory perceptions as well. Galbanum, for instance, is horrific to me. And Blamage (though it does not contain the note) is not a win :( bitter vegetable medicine, with an offputting sweetness lurking far beneath.

It's not the worst thing I've ever smelled--it's not vile and offensive as, say, Memo's Moroccan Leather. But I certainly am not enjoying it--it's merely *weird*. I'm appreciating it in an artistic manner--it is unlike anything else I have ever smelled--but on the hedonic self expression front, it leaves me dead cold.

Not a safe blind buy. This seems to be something some people perceive very differently from others.

thewtchg

This is not what I expected.

This is my second blind buy from this house (this, black afgano) and I’m happy to say I’m 2/2.

I expected to be beaten down by leather; something akin to ombré leather with a woodier character.

Instead, the delicate layers of birch and musk bring about a sweetness akin to rose or tuberose as others have mentioned here. All bundled up in leather.

This is a leather pouch filled with incense, it’s a spectacle.

It’s a beautiful, warm second skin.

Slomo

Worn this a few times from a dab on sample.

Has a sort of yo-yo quality in the first hour as it moves from the very slightly masculine dry woods to the very slightly feminine airy floral/fruit but solidly unisex for me. Gets less femme in the dry down despite getting sweeter overall. Goes from fresh peaches on a pile of light woods to a peach liqueur on a lacquered bar.

There is a touch of animalia, like in a lot of the Nasomatto line. Maybe its a pissy sort of musk? In any case it is only detectible very very close to the skin and even there it isn’t particularly offensive. In fact, more than inch away and its quite addictive in the blend. I think this perfumer is generally good at doing that sort of thing.

Overall, I really like this one. It’s pretty wearable. Doesn’t have the ridiculous staying power or projection of Black Afgano or Fantomas, but I think it works well in this case as a closer wearing scent. If the peachy/floral notes were much louder it might push into granny territory.

Definitely a cooler weather one, and maybe most suitable for the transition into evening when the onset of night would give the move from crisp and airy to sweet and dense an extra bit of appeal. The heavier sweetness in the dry down is sultry in a chill, but it seems like it would get syrupy in the heat. Wore it both in the day and at night, and I found it played better with the smells of my grilled dinner than it did with the smells in a wood shop.

It’s pretty pricey, and it is hard to imagine wearing this daily. IMO, no Nassomatto is a safe blind buy. I will definitely use up my sample and could see getting a small decant for the right occasions.

Marbas

I love it based on scent alone, but performance for me was only in the 3 hour range which was disappointing.

Seuni

Not for me. It is similar to Comme de Garcons 2, but this is way less inky and aldehydic, therefore CdG2 seems really, really dated, while Blamage isn't. This is a clean, white musk, metallic, clean dry, airy woods perfume. This smells white, chrome/metal, and air in a woody musky way. It's absolutely impossible to pin it to a gender. Will last you a day, will project. Not office safe, everything but summer.

VelvetTrance

Wow, what a stunner! This is my second Nasomatto that blew me away and now I'm tempted to blind buy everything from the house, I love it so much. All of the notes I pick up - woods, leather, spices, musk and I could swear, something floral (someone said tuberose and I agree) - all smell rich and gorgeous. I suppose some would say this leans slightly masculine but I think it's right down the middle. It's such a mysterious and enticing scent. It makes me think of a witch's cabin deep in the woods. The scent of spell-casting!

mhobol

Blamage was my signature for a while, but I slowly started to dislike it. When I first sampled it I thought it was amazing. I got spicy, creamy and warm woods. But then I bought it and after about two months, almost everything I picked up was MUSK, and not the creamy type, just dusty, dirty musk. I don't know what happened, if it was a bad batch or if it was that it didn't work in cold weather, but I ended up selling it. I will still have the memory of the great blamage I once sampled.

Kaylovely

I'm about to throw up.... what in the world! Then to say this is better than or smells like Seminalis. What!!... Stop..... seriously stop! That's the same as stale mosquito water is the same as a raspberry milkshake. It can grow on you but those who talk about 540s opening couldn't possibly tried this. On skin it's ok, on clothing..... ehh! I will give it more of a try but I didn't have to force Seminalis so please try both and don't listen to others. Just judge for yourself!

Bergamet

Blamage - a mistake or embarrassment - so called because the formula was created by accident and then discovered to actually be quite good. Much like its creation, many puzzled reviewers below who have purchased a full bottle are left wondering... "Wait, have I made a mistake? Or... is this actually good?"

Maybe, maybe.

The notes listed seem like they don't go together and I guess it can be quite jarring at first, but I believe that this one has the potential to grow on you. It's not supposed to be an easy experience, the name says enough about what to expect after all. What hits my nose on first spray is peach sherbet and patent leather that slowly mellows into something a bit creamier (still candy-like). Birch and leather yes, but still sweet for most of the day.

Edit - sold my bottle because I decided a feminine leather just isn’t my jam.

mikulesque

To me Blamage smells like modified Chanel 5, think its because of Aldehydes…

Stinky whiskey Buttons

This is The scent off fresh birch, this smells like The wood Refined and Photoshopt to as remove the inperfection that nature sometimes produces, clean woody and iff you find birch smoky.. I guess smoky Green scent, its like encre noir in Its simplistic take on wood and nature

Fragaddict123

Not my favourite from the house nonetheless it’s still a solid fragrance
Musky mostly with little leather
It might be challenging for some but to my nose it was really nice
Not as atomic as the other fragrances from the line but it is long lasting

cow paddy

On my skin, I get peaches...and a lot of it. Then it becomes a mix of hard to identify notes. Probably safe to say there is a lot of ambrette in it giving a woody sweetness.

On skin, I get about 6 hours of solid arms-length projection. Then it's mostly gone by 8-10.

Personally for me, it's well worth getting a decant just to try this peculiar scent out. Is it worth the blind-buy I did? Nope. I was intrigued by the first few wears and then done with it.

mandala

Is it just me? I kind of get tuberose from this.

mhobol

Keyword: Mysteriously cool.

Finally got to try this baby and I'm in love!

I was sniffing and sniffing cdg 2, but I never quite fell for it, even though I thought is was interesting. It was mainly dusty sweet chalk on me. For some reason I still wanted to test this one and I am so glad I did.

It is more full-bodied than cdg 2, (yes, I do think they share the same DNA). It is warmer and creamier, and even a bit spicy! All in all - this has more personality. The musk ending is addictive. I find everything with this addictive. Clings to clothes also.

I do think this belongs to warmer weather as it has a tendency to loose its creaminess in colder weather, at least on me. My signature.

afterpope

2nd best of CDG-EDP2..smart remake ⁑ )

Anamandy

This one was a blind buy that I'm just not sure about. I don't know if they used some chemicals like Iso-E-Super, Ethylacetate, or something else; or if the weather is not right to wear this fragrance today; or if I just need to let this sit and settle for a while, but it smells like I'm wearing isopropyl alcohol. It was heavy on first spray and though it did lighten up, it is still always there right beneath the surface. I've smelled this same alcohol type chemical in JHAG Not a Perfume Superdose and Bond Soho. It seems some can smell that chemical note and other's cannot. Unfortunately, I fall into the former category, as some people at my job couldn't smell what I smelled at all, which proves that theory. To them it was a beautiful leathery, creamy, woody, floral scent. If I try to smell past the alcohol I can almost smell what they are smelling too. Unfortunately, that chemical note ruins this for me. Too bad I didn't pay closer attention to the reviewers who said they could smell that too.

Right now, I am a little bummed by this. I was so sure I would adore this as much as I do China White and Narcotic V. I really hope that all I need to do is let this settle a while after it's long trip. I'll put this away to try later see what happens. Hopefully, that chemical note will be gone on next wearing, or maybe I will not be able to smell it.

I guess this review is a cautionary tale not to blind buy a fragrance on the assumption that you'll love it just because you love some of the other fragrances from that house. Try to always get a sample beforehand, especially on an expensive fragrance. I wish I had done that this time. Oh well, live and learn.

Edit - That chemical scent never changed. I've since got rid of it.

Kitty9

Gorgeous and beautiful fragrant very Clean smell. The smell is not too bitter and sweet.
There's a mysterious personality perfume.

vetiverica

An interesting blend. Think orange sherbet sprinkled on suede, with stonefruit and white wood in the heart. Possibly my favourite Nasomatto because of how different it is, and the fact that it transitions whereas most Gualtieri fragrances are pretty static.

ingeneuxo

-A creamy, leathery, woody scent that somehow manages to be creamy without being gourmand.
-Smells like expensive aftershave.
-Underrated gem imo.
-While I would not wear this (as i prefer feminine scents), this gets a strong like from me. (-)

Variable01

I love Nasomatto and I love Blamage. I was not expecting this from the note breakdown. There's another note in here though, and it smells like a mix between the smell in a shoe repair store and Nestle Runts candy.

Tamlin

This is a very unique smelling fragrance, with notes that I find difficult to define.

I do pick up the leather, but it sort of hides behind a quite strong woody note (the birch?), and is more of a support for the wood than it's own note, if that makes sense.

There also seems to be a bit of a floral vibe that together with the woody vibe makes it feel kinda green.

I can't quite decide if it smells like damp wood, or very dry wood. But it definitely is woody.

It's very distinct and robust, but at the same time sort of airy and fresh-ish. Smells very natural, and doesn't really smell like anything else that I can think of.

I'm not sure I would actually want to wear this, though.

piyux

Nasomatto Blamage is true to its notes, the fragrance opens with a combination of soft leather, musky and animalic accords; the white woods are soft and aromatic. The musk a birch combine producing a note that is animalic, very refined, clean sweat-like. The white woods accord is aromatic, freshly chopped wood. As the fragrance dries down, the animalic accord softens and develops a powdery accord which almost eliminates its initial animalic nature leaving behind a very refined and powdery musky note. The projection of the opening is moderate-high; the dry down projection is moderate. Once Nasomatto Blamage has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection mildly powdery refined musky fragrance with soft woody and leather accords. The fragrance feels animalic, classy, elegant, exotic, mature, rare, refined, unisex, and somewhat pleasant.

BATCH REVIEWED: 2020.
WOW RATING: 10/10. Blamage is a fine musky animalic fragrance that will impress anyone.
DISLIKE RATING: 7/10. The combination of birch and musk creates a strong animalic accord that although it feels highly refined, it is still animalic, as such, many will find it offensive.
UNIQUENESS: 10/10. The purity of its notes makes Nasomatto Blamage highly unique.
MASS APPEAL: 1/10. This is the type of fragrance reserved for connoisseurs looking for uniqueness.
PROJECTION: 3/10. Moderate, about three feet around the wearer.
SILLAGE: 4/10. Moderate, about four feet behind the wearer.
APPLICATION: Two or three atomizations will suffice.
LONGEVITY: 4/10. Moderate, it projects well for about two hours then it drops quickly.
SEASONS: Winter, fall, spring, colder nights, and climate-controlled environments.
OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, casual, clubbing.
VERSATILITY: 4/10. This fragrance fits well formal and casual wear.
GENDER: Unisex. The strong musky accords react very differently on different skins. Some people will find it feminine while others masculine, however, musk is a neutral accord, therefore unisex.
AGES: 30 and above.
RECOMMENDATION: Nasomatto Blamage can be found discounted for about $100 but just 1oz. Its price places it among some of the most expensive fragrances in the market. Regardless of the price, it is a very challenging fragrance, better reserved for connoisseurs. This fragrance is a nice-to-have but not a must-have.
BLIND-BUY: No, sample it first.
SIMILAR: This is a list of other fragrances that feature strong musky and animalic accords, but don’t necessarily smell like Blamage. Dior Homme Cologne features strong musky, floral, and powdery accords; Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Male contains green, strong musky, animalic, and floral tones; Mancera Aoud Line features an animalic oud, ambery, and floral notes; Montale Intense Black Aoud ha animalic, spicy, floral, and strong green accords; Parfums De Marly Layton Exclusif features woody, animalic, almond, and coffee, and although it contains animalic accords, its mass-appeal rating is much higher than any of the fragrances listed here.
SUMMARY: A moderate projection mildly powdery refined musky fragrance with soft woody and leather accords. The fragrance feels animalic, classy, elegant, exotic, mature, rare, refined, unisex, and somewhat pleasant.

This fragrance seems to sound different in every review. . But I finally got a sample so here's my thoughts.

If Kisses Rain and Grand Soir had a baby, well this would be it.

I love the rich brown sugary nuance that's wafting through the woods and leather. I can't believe there's only four notes. It's so complex and buttery.

It's very sexy, and very unisex in my opinion.

I really love it.

Pawly

Nasomatto Blamage really gives it's name justice.
I love Nasomatto, it's a great house. Unique, artsy, different.. but this? Not so much.
The bottle is great. It looks good, it's unique and cool to look at. But that's about it. When i first sprayed this, I got something super sweet that reminded me of some kind of florals combined with tonka. Then in the drydown I got strong white woods that really remind me of CdG Concrete. Those woods will stay until the end.
Something about this just doesn't work for me. I got a little sick and it was cloying for me personally, even though I don't find it that strong. It just doesn't work.
Plus I've smelled this quite a few times somewhere else. I don't understand why such a house would copy other houses like that! Maybe it's just coincidence but who knows? In the drydown it's just far from unique and those notes have been used somewhere else before - in the exact same way. Not cool!

Andy the Frenchy

A great fragrance from Nasomatto. Leans a little too sweet/vanillic/fruity/feminine for my tastes in the drydown, but still worth a sniff.

Some remote similarities with CdG2 indeed, but not really similar.

dflor

I think that it's not for women. It smells like sweat.

Radvile

I bet it has Iso E Super and Ambrette or Ambroxan in it. Smells like freshly buit log house or imagine a joiner who is working with a whitewood just right next to you and there is that smell of sawdust all around. Clean, chirsp and sharp but dusty, sweet and mellow at the same time. So distinctive. Somehow the scent is able to lift my mood to the sky, very sunny and sparkly smell. Yes, it's intensive and quite synthetic as many of the users said but that doesn't bother. Kind of reminds me JUSBOX Cheeky Smille and JHAG Sunny Side Up. If Buratino had to choose it's own signature scent it must be Blamage. Love the scent from the bottom of my heart. Olfactive miracle for sure, worth trying at least. Longevity is incredible.

Chicago Tony T

Vert heavy on the aldehydes and jasmine. Way more floral than I'd like. The aldehydes actually overpower the smokiness making this too feminine for me to wear.

tani.nikshici

I didn't like Blamage to be honet something wrong with one just not my cup of tea

FatimaD

My first Nasomatto. Interesting scent. Got compliments on it within first five minutes of wearing it. Strongly reminds me of molinard Vanille patchouli. Just less aggressive than that.
Since I own the bottle - I like it. But I can see why many people can’t react differently to it. I t does smell a little like weed at times , at others - some soap. Definitely unique. But if you wanna save your money , try molinard and wait for the dry down.

sullyt5601

I have no problem with firms offering cheaper clones of overpriced fragrances e.g. green irish tweed --> tres nuit; in fact, I think this is pretty altruistic. However, when you run a niche firm that prides itself on originality and eccentricity, shamelessly copy someone else's work, claim you composed the whole thing "blindfolded", and sell it for twice the price of the original fragrance (CdG 2) you are truly on some next-level scam artist shit. Gualtieri is a hack and this fragrance embodies everything wrong with niche.

Bubbles1964

Dry white woods with something sweet, and a little tobacco or incense is what I smell. It’s an extract and behaves as such: from the opening to the long ending, this never overpowers or causes nasal fatigue (I’m looking at you Black Afgano). Unusual in its execution; I smell synthetics but execution is superb.

One thing is for certain, that bottle is a work of art. Spending $185 retail for 30 ml is steep, but worth it when you realize you’re also buying a piece of art.

rbalkris

The most interesting offering from the Nasomatto line in my opinion is this post modernist woody musk playfully named as a blunder. It is really anything but. The perfume is a demonstration of how one can use mostly synthetic materials to create something really interesting and beautiful. The perfume opens with a whiff of white florals and aldehydes before moving to a heart where one can detect notes of birch and white woods. It settles into a powdery leathery musky base pretty soon. The perfumer does not reveal the notes and says even he chose them through a blinding process. The unisex perfume is unisex with moderate to strong sillage and very good longevity. Give it some time and a few wears. It really grows on you. A beautiful head scratcher of a perfume only for the adventurous. Enjoy!

Mhl

Best smelling but weakest in nasomatto line

shushkin

I'm loving this interesting smoky floral/woody creation. The floral notes are rich and intoxicating on the opening but that eases a little and then the wood and leather get to surface.
I love this curious smoky creation. Flowers thrown into a fire pit.
Very unisex and intense. A scent for cool conditions or the night.The birch smokiness and leather seem to go on and on.
It smells very modern and a touch avant-guarde.

NickZee

This is a woody, smoky magnolia blend that is similar to Nasomato’s Pardon without the chocolate. It opens with a burst of jasmine, gardenia and honeysuckle. Once these settle after 15 minutes, magnolia takes centre stage and the woods and smoky birch begin to emerge. A big dose of Iso-e makes the magnolia feel as thick as slow moving lava.

215alive

Metallic, aldehydes, synthetic birch, tart leather, white florals, and ISO e super. Synthetic in a good way!!!

trabuquera

Not in the same league of olfactory terror as Black Afgano but there's still something in there - the house's version of birch tar maybe? - which goes nastily bitter and acrid on me. Allllllmost wearable - the leather and musk layers are sweeter and gentler - and it's certainly complex and compelling, but for something with so many of the notes I normally love to be a flat NO ... means that me and Nasomatto just haven't clicked yet. Or maybe none work with my chemistry. So - still worth a try if you are usually a fan of the house, worth checking out if you really want a musky leather. This definitely has extreme longevity and robust sillage without being the knockout bomb that BA is. But I feel sort of relieved, given the punishing price, that this one didn't pull me in.

I love the entire Nasomatto line. Yes, these gorgeous scents do contain quite a bit of synthetic ingredients, but I don’t mind synthetics when artfully done. Each fragrance from this collection is unique, yet they share a similar olfactory aesthetics that is incredibly pleasing to my trusty old sniffer.
Blamage opens assertively, with a combination of smoky woods and leather, but it quickly settles into a most amazing scent of the birch tree, offset by some clandestine floral notes. It’s so beautiful that I cannot stop sniffing my wrists! Its projection is outstanding, and it stays on the skin even after I have taken a shower. It is not so overwhelmingly strong as Black Afgano, but still a very good investment, since a little goes a long way.
I tested Blamage against two other Nasomatto frags - China White and Narcotic Venus - in order to compare their development and longevity.
Blamage and China White are somewhat similar in that both scents are dominated by woodsy notes. Although China White is aimed at women, it is actually more unisex than Blamage, because CW remains green-woodsy and somewhat fizzy throughout, while Blamage turns more white floral-woodsy-musky and feminine. Their longevity is approximately the same (over 8 hours), but CW is consistently stronger (which may or may not be a good thing).
On the other hand, Blamage is definitely stronger and more durable than Narcotic Venus. At some point, about half an hour after spraying, they are somewhat similar, but then Narcotic Venus departs towards tuberose and eventually turns into a sweetish tuberose soliflore.
All in all, Blamage is a wonderful scent that goes straight to the top of my small fragrance shopping list. Kudos to the perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, one of the great noses of our time. Oh, and that ‘birch tree’ bottle is a work of art.

Birnam_Wood

The one I smelled in Aedes is a soft-sweet almost frangipani floral tone? What the heck wrong with me, or the universe?

Ape Wilson

Fun, synthetic in a good way. Don't get much smelling my skin but there's thsee wafts of oud/berry soda that come up when I'm walking around. In hair the musk is much more prominent. Tiniest bit of rubber or leather in the top. Lots of power, like a montale in notes but more dynamic and interesting.

Looks like this can be pretty irritating to sensitive noses, and radiates farther than it seems so be careful.

muzzbait

a tip/warning: i've owned a few decants of this, from about 3 or 4 different places, and i've always felt it smelt 'okay', just not FB worthy. then, whilst in amsterdam, i decided to test it from a tester, i sprayed it on the wrist and it smelt fuller, more defined, with more layers and just 'better'.

if you're on the fence like i was, try it from an official bottle (or don't dab it on like i did), and actually spray it on. it has more to it, and by doing so i actually ended up liking it more (loving it, actually), and as such i actually bought it!

it's my 3rd (or 4th) nasomatto and they are all works of art...

miss mills

This has the Nasomotto strength but white woods and something slightly sweet and borderline gourmande in here in a fizzy, woodsy way, like nutty cookie dough. I kind of like it, it's strange. Modern, slightly unusual - the musk and leather are there but there's something else that's prominent that smells floral to me and it isn't listed. I wanna guess at something in the vein of peach or rose, sweet and edible smelling. Hm, a mystery. A little unsettling, I'd like to smell this on someone else.

Arabian Knight

It smells like a more metallic, less sweet version of "2" by Comme des Garcons. Sharp, squeaky aldehydes, eugenol and cold, menthol-like Iso E, with a scratchy cedar base.

It's pleasant and lively despite its obvious synthetic tone, but not unlike plenty of things I've smelled before. I prefer CDG 2 because it's spicier and has more depth.

polly golightly

"blamage"(letteralmente disonore o peccato, occasione persa, in tedesco) è avanguardia. come doveva sembrare un quadro impressionista ai primi che lo hanno visto, questo profumo fa lo stesso effetto. e non soltanto perchè non ci è dato di sapere quale sia la piramide olfattiva, ma perchè si tratta di tutta una serie di impressioni, appunto, che si susseguono nell'evoluzione, restituendo qualcosa di totalmente astratto, nuovo, del tutto soggettivo. io ci sento cuoio, frutta, muschio, erba appena tagliata, polvere, sciroppo, sentori legnosi e financo fumosi, con un fondo dolce. e pur avendolo già provato un paio di volte, non mi è parso mai uguale a se stesso. notevolissimo, per me, per qualcun altro potrà apparire la classica "merda d'artista".

psebi101

I get dry woods, the usual synthetic oud note and white florals that give me a slight soapy note. The high pitched beginning with dried woods shifts to a sweet vanilla and white musk base; the scent gets sweeter, less scratchy, less woody, less soapy, but with the floral lingering there in the background. The late dry down is a soft and creamy vanilla that feels somehow gourmand-ish. It is nice, but not something special. What I really do like is the bottle, especially the cap.

Scent: 7/10
Longevity: 9/10

Markowow91

I have black afgano ,silver musk ,pardon and blamage from nasomatto line but this parfume is the best.

JayO

When I smell it and look at the accords and notes I'm befuddled, to me it's fruity/floral. It reminds me very much of Kenzo Flowers without the powder, I think it would be fitting for a young girl, it is possible my sample is mislabeled.

noora18030

very strange and unique
its very hard to know what in it
totally special
but its not good enough in long lasting this the only problem in it

ConsumerThis

One word sums this fragrance up. "Beautiful"
It's perfect in every way I am glad it will be number 4 in my collection from the line ;)

This one is exactly the smell of blossoming cannabis: grassy, fruity, green and metallic. If this juice was a color it would be silver. Suitable for both sexes, it has an uplifting pepperiness that keeps you awake without being too loud. Unique.

weaselize

the scent is quite unique. A sharp, white, aromatic, almost sparkling smell of chalk. It gives a kind of electronic buzzy feel in the way it projects.
Some kind of narcotics. It,s very difficult to discribe. The only way to discribe this in terms of smell is to compare it with some kind of washing powder that you smell straight from the box. Very vibrant.
Performance is quite beastly on every aspect.
The drydown gets slightly sweet.
Pretty feminin.
Original but not something i feel comfortable wearing

Aluvsfrags

I have an extra bottle. pm me if interested.

Vlud

Smells like chamomile tea with some fruits (maybe peach), quite different and interesting, a bit feminine.

obenno

This perfume smells promising when first sniffing the cap, however once sprayed the cloying synthetic mess reveals itself in full force.

Perhaps its my skin, but this stuff smells like an old granny on me,. The dry down simply smells off.

I'm a fan of alessandro's work but this does not make any sense to me. Perhaps the worst 'niche' fragrance I've ever worn. I received nothing but bad comments for wearing this. Literally had to go home and wash myself because I felt so nauseous.

A fragrance this complex is not suitable for an extrait de parfum concentration. Everyone will notice it for hours but not in a good way.

amaltayssir

I am a big fan of Gualtieri's bold and unique creations and love guessing what's in them.
Earlier this year, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting him during an event here in Dubai. A true artist to say the least and a very kind person, although a bit more eccentric than your average Joe. We had a very cultural and philosophical conversation where he disclosed some of his secret notes from the Orto Parisi line and other lines, but he asked me not to share with anyone, probably because of the controversy that may arise. Not that he needs anymore of that.
My clients always ask me to recommend perfumes, and not once did I take someone to try Gualtieri's creations and they came out empty-handed. Whether they knew what was in the bottle or not, they're all equally mesmerized.

zaboot1972

let me begin by telling you that Nasomatto do not provide any info about his creation even if you browse in the web site there is nothing to mention so you must depend on your nose keep in mind when sampling these beautiful extract you must wait for it ,let the scent settle and cool down then sniff the result.

as for Blamage I love it good sillage and very long longevity the scent is strong and its quite oriental ,and to be ohnest I love the whole line of nasomatto

esyboss

سلام
شروع عطر با یک رایحه شیرین از امبر و گلی که حالت ابکی داره شروع میشه مثل هر کار دیگه این برند بالانس رایحه ها عالی است و کیفیت خوبی دارند.

بعد از مدتی که از عمر عطر می گذره رایحه دود و چوبی مانند از عطر به مشام میرسه. بنظر میاد رایحه دودی از نوعی رزین و صمغ باشه که در کنارش٬ حالت گلی ابکی رو با خودش داره.

با گذر زمان مقداری حالت گلی عطر قوی تر میشه و ترکیبش با اون رایحه دودی حالت سنگین تر و گرم تری به عطر میده.

عطر شیرینی کم و بالانس شده ای داره و کاملا یونی هست. ماندگاری خوبی داره و حداقل تا مدت ها خودتون رایحه اش رو استشمام می کنید پخش خوبی هم داره و برای اطرافیان٬ بیشتر اون رایحه گلی اش هست که به مشام میرسه.

رایحه اش خاص نیست و میشه گفت در این زمینه حرفی برای گفتن نداره و عطرهای مشابه زیادی شبیه این کار وجود دارند که با توجه به قیمت ارزش خرید این کار رو پایین میاره.

nonsisa

Another woody amber norlimbanol bomb by Nasomatto. Besides its agressiveness it radiates also a floral vibe.

Nonetheless I think I prefer Duro and Black Afgano over this creation.

Imo this is also suited for women.

aphexacid

A lighter, floral, feminine version of a Black Afgano. Only I'm not sure I'm interested on smelling this on anyone at all.

Above average longevity. Stays mostly close to the skin always.

Sample it first. Absolutely don't blind buy this.

Q80

According to his visit in the past few weeks, & as per the description of one of his welcomests, Alessandro to public is nothing but a bad guy or let's say an As$hol$, cause he does those mental issues, and ill state them (according to the professional nose who meet him):
1+ Alessandro said "im not going to tell you what my fragrances are consists off, so take it or leave it"
2+ Alessandro said "if anyone asks you about the ingredients, don't sell to them"
3+ he is the kinda of guy that his tongue is drenched in sewers lol, he talks freely and dirty neglecting that there are ladies in the house.
4+ He asked the shop owner not to tell anyone including costumers that he is in town, because he doesn't want-like to meet anyone!? and that was weird & rude.

you know at first i felt awkward having such an ego but then i guessed a bit more that he might be like Sia who does interviews giving the camera her back because of an illness or disease she has and still suffering from which everyone should excuse her for that, so Alessandro might have something like that. in this case i can't say a thing about it because i didn't meet him yet, and i would if i liked at least one of his fragrances.

Furthermore, this Fragrance was named a mistake or error because it was invented by mistake or let's say by coincidence. as Alessandro said to the nose i know, he was very drunk or under drugs that day and mixed up some of the notes together then he pushed them away and had weed, or joint or whatever to relax. He found out later on that the mix he came out with was impressive in away that he named it Blamage (mistake). and it wasn't that he released it by mistake, it was something made by coincidence.

now to the fragrance...Ok let's see. i still felt it is very similar to Black Afghano but in a lighter way. it's tingly and peppery, soapy and never powdery. i can admit it has some kind of drugs yes but like having a flower from each field. dark and not leathery, no tobacco detected, and kind of a very harsh type of roses like the one in Bull's Blood by Imaginary Authors but lightly and never dominated. and there is a touch of a real Arabian oud. so if you are a fan of Arabian fragrances, then check this one out.

i feel it's kind of repetitive to his style and to BA specifically, it's ok and i feel it's a safe choice.

LiliShineOn

Just received my sample and wore it all day. It was a very interesting experiment, but one I think I will want to do again and again. The beginning for me was sharp and sort of anamalic. It dried to what smells like pencil shavings with a tiny bit of some soft floral. At one point in between I thought it smelled like Play-do!One comment I got was that it smelled like a Lysol cleaner that one woman uses, but she wears Daisy Dream, so I think her nose is biased, lol. Another woman thought it was something she could see more on a man.

I can still smell it soft on my wrist this morning. Really liking this so far...

Shibor

It’s a successful completion of the Nasomato series.

Fruity notes at the beginning are joined soon by amber and sandalwood with a sprinkle of patchouli. The combination stays warm during the drydown (just warm, not sweet).

Has a definitely Nasomato’s fingerprint.
Even though one can find traces of / similarities to some notes of other Nasomato’s fragrances, Blamage is a very well done, very round and elaborated blending. Good wearable during the year.

andrew.spratlin

I get a variety of comments on this when I where it. I have 4 fragrances from Nasomatto that I own: Black Afgano, Blamage, Pardon, and Duro.....these are in order of how much I like them.

I LOVE Blamage. It is a very unique scent that still falls within the Nasomatto Brand. I get compliments from both Women and Men. I did have one guy smell it in a room I had left and thought it smelled of a hospital (I don't get that, but I don't mind it). It has great silage and longevity to the point you leave your scent in a room.

I didn't like Blamage at first sniff..I even told my Neiman's rep there was no need to give me a sample to take and try (although I changed my mind because I had the same reaction to Black Afgano...and it's now my favorite). This is one that you'll need to wear and get people's reaction to it....I've had many ask me what I was wearing saying they were looking for something unique like what I was wearing. I think this scent is VERY unisex.

Houdini4

This fragrance is a bit of a mess.
I remember reading the blurb about it when it was released and giving out a 'pffft!' at the prospect of it.
I thought it's either going to be utter genius or completely awful and in actual fact it's neither.
The opening totally reminded me of a fragrance I'd purchased just days before (CdG) Pharell Williams, 'Girl' which also has a really odd unsettling, unnatural vibe to it...
They don't really smell alike though.
Blamage is a difficult clash of super heavy woody notes, wispy, powdered florals (maybe iris/rose/violet?), something metallic, something ambery, resinous and sharp maybe labdanum and an air of sophistication from saffron?
It's a weird thing...if that's what Gualtieri and Nasomatto were going for I think they've succeeded.
The heavy 'extrait' feel is certainly in abundance here but it does feel quite chemical for all the efforts to make this a stand out piece of artwork Blamage is just a bit lacking in focus.
The Flacon is pretty cool and an interesting if not hideous stopper to go on top of it.
This shouldn't detract from the rest of the offerings from Nasomatto which on the whole are great and this definitely fits into a space (perhaps that didn't need filling?)despite being such an oddball.

muzzbait

i get a lot of similar notes to nasomatto's 'pardon' in this mix. cannot pick the individual components out, but i'm reminded of pardon more often than not. hard to describe it. it's nice and warrants further testing...

Amsha13

There's no doubt that Gualtieri is a real artist, a bit crazy one though. Each fragrance in Nasomatto project is a piece of art and he made a bold and perfect ending for it.
Blamage is not so linear like most of this line. It opens very complicate; floral, fruity, spicy, woody and powdery. As Estebanz said the fruity part is peach (only peel, not the whole fruit). I can clearly smell saffron and a little hint of fresh spices. Sandalwood presents strongly from beginning to the end. The dry down is mostly woody/ powdery.
I don't know if it's my skin chemistry or you all have the same experience. In first 30 minutes it is out of balance! And I think here's the reason it called "Blamage". But the perfect beauty face appears inchmeal.

Hopefully a nice romantic goodbye to "Nasomatto" has been created. If you like this line, I strongly recommend this fragrance to you. Similar to all its siblings, Blamage made from very high quality materials and lasts long.

rossyegio5

Gualtieri ha colto l'odore tipico e caratteristico dell'erba del prato appena tagliata e l'ha intrappolato in un originale flacone. Punto. Profumo esclusivamente maschile, se dovessi connotarlo con un colore direi "verde scuro". Black Afgano per me rimane il capolavoro. Questo è monocorde e monocromatico.

Jwaks

Fantastic presentation and great fit and finish from the backstory to the bottle and finally the scent. Lightly sweet, woody and enticing at first with an airy and transparent vibe drying down to a nostril singeing base of harsh woody chemicals, what smells like an overdose of wood, rose and a touch of fake amber. I agree with deadidol, it's a woody, ambery, floral and slightly green aromachemical mess. Sospiro vivace's light, airy and slightly chemical smelling woody opening comes to mind when sniffing the first few minutes of blamage. And the drydown resembles black afgano minus the oud, smoke and hash. Blamage. Unique and artful, but is it a mistake? It's a triumph of awesome marketing, cool backstory, packaging, "name" and joke in poor taste than a bona-fide mistake.

alberto1964

Some similarities with "Bergamask" by Orto Parisi. Original, green, arrogant, delicious. It's art and I like it.

deadidol

While I’m perhaps one of a handful of people who appreciates this bottle’s freaky and somewhat disturbing design, the scent itself is the polar opposite in that Blamage is possibly the most safe and mundane thing that Gualtieri has done for Nasomatto. And considering that it’s the line’s swan song, it is (as the name suggests) a bit of a “disgrace" given the originality that came prior.

Not that it’s an utterly ghastly fragrance, mind you (it smells like a combination of several mall scents folded together), but it’s far from a grand finale. Essentially, it’s a straightforward chemical woody-amber with some white florals over a cheap-smelling ambergris type accord. Gualtieri’s prevailing base (maxed-out levels of ebanol, sandalrome, ambroxan, ambrocenide, etc.) is merged with some insincere ambergris replacers, all cranked up to tacky levels designed to make the scent stay on your skin until the middle of next week. The heart is just as phoned-in as the base with an insipid sweet sludge that would feel right at home in a shampoo bottle. The construction of Blamage, in other words, is a disgrace. It smells like a slightly vanillic, slightly floral musky amber with a heavy dose of powder. There are zero discernible dynamics, and there’s no sense of space; it’s a wall of chemicals trying to choke one another out. Consequently, it’ll probably be a big hit.

While I can see how this would automatically be popular with certain groups (it’s sweet, loud, demands no contemplation), it’s a much less taxing wear than something like Black Afgano or Absinth and so might it might open the door for some to Gualtieri’s future projects (although I’d step cautiously when approaching Orto Parisi if you were scared by BA). But what’s most surprising is that given the requisite gimmick behind this scent (he created this while blindfolded, apparently . . . uh-huh), it’s one of the more collected and mainstream-esque scents of the line. So, while I’d say that even if sweet, powdery, mindless stuff is your thing, the questionable construction and lack of definition is what really sinks Blamage. Whereas the bottle is reminiscent and fascinating, the scent itself is a total snoozer—floral ambroxan over sour sandalwood replacers, essentially.

Frada

A very addictive powdery perfume ,with a mild sillage. Not agressive like Black Afghano, but very disturbing because it smells like nothing else,some people say me : "oh, what is this?" and ask me the name of the perfume I wear.
The last perfume of the Nasomatto line is my prefered one.

smelling_gr8

Well, this is a surprise!
I find this Nasomatto very similar to JHAG Not a Perfume but slightly sweeter and less clinical. It is rather linear but boy it lasts and lasts, which makes quite a change for me as all the previous Nasomatto creations I have tried were gone before I blinked.
If I haven't had JHAG already, I might consider buying this but as I do own Not a Perfume, which is also considerably cheaper, I shan't bother.
Still, I do rather like it.

steveniox

i've used the whole decant i obtained from bloom perfumery, london.

hmm... there is something strangely familiar to me about this scent. i was intrigued from the initial view; observing the mystery of not knowing anything about what might lie ahead, what creature this would turn to be. but then, upon skin, my mind began searching for connotations and relations. quite odd then i found that my nose should put this to a slightly more 'green' comme des garcons 2 - a similar floral, clean, slightly metallic opening, but arguably more natural, subtle and refined. however, where CDG 2 takes on a sweet, amber-incense vibe, blamage remains fairly linear, developing a slight woody edge on my skin instead. this is to no disadvantage to the fragrance however, as sillage and longevity both seem very good on my skin, and personally i find the opening of CDG 2 to be beautiful.

although i'm not sure i would invest, the bottle itself is gorgeous and fits perfectly in my mind; natural wood, all flaws, knots and splinters, painted gallery-white. an art pieces made of natural mistakes.

Scentmad

Not as robust as Black Afgano but it does share some characteristics. It's a lovely, light and bright composition, although initially it shares the intense burnt rubber note as BA, that quickly falls away and what emerges - is soft, seductive and compelling, rippling waves of various notes, floral, green, woody, clean, fresh and at the same time a little savage. To be frank it's not as sophisticated on my skin as BA (which has prompted many positive comments) but it is perfect for warm days because of its lightness and as with BA it is utterly unique. I cannot stop sniffing my wrist so it has something very engaging about it, that's always a good sign for me, if I return to sniff and sniff it usually means it's got potential.

nemorino

I'm not going to write about the ingredients because to me it is unimportant!
My first impression was mmmmm, what a sexy, fruity sommer sense, very appealing. When I say summer sense, it is still in the Gualtieri esprit of course, don't expect it to be a cologne!
Then it got more and more undefined,round and sugary on my skin, unfortunately because the opening was fantastic. So I gave it up and thought, this is a Balamage and nothing for me.
Then SURPRISE, after 2-3 hours it became clear again and ooooh so nice, it is like hypnotizing you....you want to smell it again and again and again....
Very addictive, to me it has the same adictiveness as China Withe.

I also wanted to mention the package, I think they did a wonderful job on choosing the color, it is spot on. If you want to give the perfume a color, look at the package!

EN. "Blamage" - is a new and, unfortunately, the latest perfume from the collection of 10 perfumes Nasomatto. ("The Nose" and the creator of which: scandalously famous perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri). With the purchase of "Blamage" - forget all that is called "the niche fragrance." I will not try to guess the ingredients of this fragrance, because the perfumer himself said (honestly stating this on the box), that the creation of this fragrance - is nothing more than an error, nonsense and was originally made to "take around ". After all, in German "Blamage" means "a complete failure, shame." As you know, Alessandro Gualtieri prefers not to reveal the secrets of the olfactory pyramid of its perfumes, allowing us to become a perfumer and to try to find them by ourself. It is so boring sometimes to see all these twins from niche perfumery, created by "rules of art", then, to create Blamage the perfumer has traveled halfway around the world, trying to forget the professionalism, to start from the very begining, from the "blank sheet", to create a final monument to his offspring - the line "Nasomatto." "Blamage" is conceived as the antithesis, as an absurdity, but for him this also consisted the principal difficulty: to set his mind to invent a mixture of ingredients, and then get their perfect harmony. Then, I would say that the works of Alessandro Gualtieri could also be purchased without trying, - they are guaranteed masterpieces. The main problem with them - is to find the courage to pronounce their names in public.

IT. "Blamage" - è un nuovo e, purtroppo, l'ultimo profumo di 10 profumi da collezione Nasomatto. ("Il Naso" e il creatore di cui: scandalosamente famoso profumiere Alessandro Gualtieri). Con l'acquisto di "Blamage" - bisogna dimenticare tutto quello che finora abbiamo chiamato "un profumo di nicchia". Non voglio cercare di indovinare gli ingredienti di questo profumo, proprio perché il profumiere stesso ha detto (onestamente indicando questo sulla scatola), che la creazione di questo profumo - non è altro, che un errore, una sciocchezza ed era originariamente fatto per "prendere in giro". Dopo tutto, in tedesco "Blamage" significa "un completo fallimento, vergogna". Come sapete, Alessandro Gualtieri preferisce di non rivelare i segreti della piramide olfattiva dei suoi profumi, permettendo a noi di diventare il profumiere e cercare di indagarli. È così noioso a volte di vedere tutti questi profumi gemelli creati a regole d'arte, quindi, per creare Blamage il profumiere ha viaggiato mezzo mondo, cercando di scordare la professionalità per ricominciare da capo, da un "foglio bianco", per creare un monumento finale alla sua progenie - la linea "Nasomatto". "Blamage" è concepita come l'antitesi, come un assurdo, ma per lui in questo consisteva anche la difficoltà principale: di impostare la propria mente ad inventare una miscela degli ingredienti, e quindi, ottenere la loro perfetta armonia. Per gli acquirenti zelanti direi questo: le opere di Alessandro Gualtieri si può acquistare anche senza provarli, - sono i capolavori garantiti. La cosa principale - è di trovare il coraggio di pronunciare i loro nomi in pubblico.
