Blamage

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stating this on the box), that the creation of this fragrance - is nothing more than an error, nonsense and was originally made to "take around ".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.

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.

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.

Just got this & am wearing for the first time today. Let me preface this by noting that this is my 5th Nasamatto, & Black Afgano was the perfume that truly expanded my concept of fragrance & sent me down the rabbit hole ~13 years ago as a mid 20 something. Anyway, the first thing I got when smelling this off my wrist was sunscreen. Now, I must admit that sandalwood is a note that I have unfortunately little experience with, or perhaps I should say understanding of, even after all these years collecting, but I do remember reading somewhere that this fragrance was inspired in part by Mr. Gualtieri embarking on a deep exploration of sandalwood... So the sunscreen makes perfect sense. I didn't get the peach/apricot at all until I sprayed on fabric, the sleeve of my sweater, but when I did it was there immediately. Now at around ~3 hours it's transitioning more to the musky dry woods that those familiar with Black Afgano & Duro will recognize, & that I personally love & that people around me often seem to go crazy for. I like this this a lot 😈 Edit: 19+ hours later after original application, I am still huffing my wrists compulsively. What I get now at this point is a still unexpectedly strongly radiating aroma of warm woods of a creamy sandalwood variety, & a sensual equally creamy suede. In the middle of the journey there was definitely some soft vanilla as well, but the only time I got the fruit notes was when sprayed on fabric. This is a love. Very unique compared to much of the rest of the Nasamatto portfolio, though I would be remiss not to mention that China White is quite a stand out as well.

On my skin, blamage does not necessarily smell how I imagined it would. Instead of rugged leather and strong woods I get a soft fuzzy peach smell with (some) birch and leather in the background. I know peach isn’t listed in the notes but I’m convinced it’s in here. It is a very smooth fragrance and I’ve heard some people say birch seems screechy to them but I don’t get it with this one. If i had to describe this fragrance i would say to imagine eating a ripe juicy peach in a snowy birch forest. When I wear blamage on warmer days the peach absolutely shines, it becomes even more prominent and smells absolutely amazing. In the colder weather the woods and leather show themselves more, but no matter what the peach is always the dominant note for me. I get great performance too, 10 or so hours on skin with a great scent bubble. I don’t think I would like this fragrance if it was a “beast mode room filler.” Its performance is reminiscent to the smell, soft and calm. I love this fragrance and it is my first full bottle from nassomatto, and I think I’ll be coming back to the brand for other fragrances eventually.

An afternoon walk in the forest during spring, rainfall has just stopped and you feel alive smelling all the moisture evaporating and bringing up all sorts of smells with it, a sense of serenity and natural purity envelop you, sunset light hits the trees and bushes, you are fulfilled. This is how Blamage makes me feel. It's an inoffensive, but definitely niche white leather-like fragrance with slightly animalic musk undertone. It smells different to me depending on the temperature. In warmer weather, the fragrance feels more feminine and peachy, fruity and powdery. Whereas, in cooler weather, it smells more musky, woodsy, more leathery and a bit more animalic. But still, regardless of weather, it always stays close to the skin once it settles; but remains potent and long-lasting. Its a very delicate natural scent, also very wearable throughout the year. For some men, this might smell a bit too feminine, however, I see it as a well-balanced unisex fragrance. I think its a perfect choice for spring and autumn.

WOW. The first time I got my nose on it in store, I didn't very much enjoy it. A dark peach with suede/animalic leather is what I picked up in the opening. Almost smelling like a toilet cleaner, I washed it off my hand to try other perfumes. 2 weeks later I used the sample I had to go to school, and oh my. I enjoyed the opening a lot more all of a sudden. It was also so strong. I was biking to school and I could just smell this dry birch and suede pulsing off my skin. When taking off my jacket a whole scent cloud got released and my friends got to smell it, they liked it a lot. But some were calling it a bit weird. For the rest of the day, it stayed a musky, smoky, dry birch with some leathery undertone, very nice and calm smelling almost a bit "fresh". I can still smell it on the sweater I had on that day. Very tempted to buy it but sometimes the smell was to much for me. Overall its a 8/10 for me, very creative and unique. And I love the bottle 3rd favorite nasomatto so far.

Wow, this is really splendid. The opening begins with a bright burst of peach, I can only smell it sometimes but my brother can unfortunately not smell it. The bright almost dry peach is accompanied at least for the first few minutes by a blinding burst of white woodx, that for an instant smells a tiny bit sterile or like bug spray (in the best way possible). After those first few minutes, this fragrance turns into a woody masterpiece with birch and fluffy white musk in the foreground. These musks are backed up by a beautiful buttery smooth leathery dry down. Performance is incredible, it lasts an eternity on the skin and seemingly forever on clothes. Fairly seasonal, perfect fall scent, and I've heard that in the winter it smells different even, so I'll update then. Fairly unisex, leaning a tiny bit masculine with a very 'outdoors vibe' to it. Love

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!

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.

Love it. I wore a full bottle of CDG 2 (in continental climate) before trying this one, no surprise I love this creature too. Without looking on the notes, wouldn't think of a birch note here (ig it's very subtle compared to Terroni, which is a Birch note reference for me). Somehow I smell flowers in this, maybe irises from my grandma's garden (my opinion is completely subjective, as I rely solely on my own empirical experience and have never smelled pure perfume essences). Maybe it's just how I perceive musks. Moving from continental climate to subtropics I would say this fragrance would best suit cold temperatures. Leather note in a hot and humid summer made it impossible to wear leathery warm scents, works best when air is crisp and fresh.

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.

This i my favorite fragrance in my whole collection. When i started to get into niche i smelled this nasomatto fragrance and I was hooked immediately. I hadn't seen the accords and i can definetly say it is not as offensive, harsh or putrid as many people say and the accords show. The animalic accords are very subtle and clean. It's a beautiful smokey, sweet and very, very woody fagrance. Its amazing and i really reccomend the documentary made about this fragrance. Its called "The nose- Searching for blamage". I could smell it for 10+ hours and 2 sprays is enough to fill up the room. I love this fragrance and it's perfect for fall and early winter. Would reccomend.

Before purchasing it, i was really drawn to this fragrance; the bottle, the name and the story behind it. I didnt sample it but went to the store and tried it, its not something i would lean towards, but i wanted something like this. The opening is very sharp and strong, but then it settles down to such and angelic smell i love. I wouldnt know how to describe it because its very unique and might really not be for everyone. It doesent last that long on me but thats totally fine, i never feel like dropping a bag on skin scents (this one turns into one eventually) but i actually really like the dry down. Would recommend this but definetely do not blind buy.

So so happy to have found this perfume. Its my 3rd Nasomatto and I think its my favorite. It is very woody ( birch) smell like the white cap, but it also is very musky and light. I don't know how to describe it but its light and deep at the same time. The scent is airy but it has this deep layered personality. For a scent this woody its not straight up birch. Its very elegant and smooth which is why I think this is perfectly unisex but I understand why ppl see it more leaning masculine. Anyway, if you love woody perfumes especially unisex ones, seriously go for at least a sample. Im so scared it may be discontinued or reformulated ahah

Opening is a very medicinal, slightly smokey leather with birch trees in background. Around a hour later i get a sweetness from maybe a white peach that is not listed that replaces the leather making it a sweet woods. Then around another hour later i start to get a floral which i think is the musk note which ties everything together. Projection is pretty good, and longevity is around 6 hours. If i were to describe this fragrance in one word; it would be white. Everything from the birch, florals, musk, and sweetness give a vibe of white. 9/10 Definitely sample the leather is a hit or a miss...

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.

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!

I loved it at first. When you first blow it, it envelopes you with an intense woody and spicy, definitely masculine fragrance cloud. After that, a woody and leathery musky note that feels a bit nutty to me remains during wear. I definitely think it's masculine, but I wonder how it would develop on a woman's skin. It lasts a long time, but after the first 1-2 hours, its projection becomes more restrained, and I don't think that's a problem. I think it's a good choice for cool days from fall to spring.

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.
