This fragrance aims to reveal the treasure of a sentimental journey, strength that comes from fragility. The most complex of all of Alessandro’s fragrances, yet his most impulsive and organic to create.
An unrequited love, the power of vulnerability – this perfume from Nasomatto tells this all too familiar story. The gentle and innocent cleanliness of being vulnerable comes through in the softness of this perfume; but so too, does the intensity of raw emotions with a sharpness in the juice. Smoky, spicy and strong yet also clean, floral and soft at the same time. The perfect blend of contradictions.

HOW IT WEARS
China White is a Parfum so it should generally give the wearer anywhere from 8 hours + longevity on the skin, because all Nasomatto fragrances are created using Parfum extract, you’ll probably be wearing this scent for at least that long. Potentially up to 24 hours, and if it’s on your clothing, even longer. With its deep florals, green notes, and the underlying hint of smokiness, China White will last long into its dry down and thereafter.
LORE LOVES
We love how this rich, smoky floriental transports you to a time and place where the wispy waft of incense intermingles powerfully, yet gracefully with the smell of fresh laundry and an oriental garden surrounded by a beautiful and mysterious forest. Its creamy, almost dream-like quality is both evocative and sentimental. Powerful, but with a softness also. A little bit soapy, a little bit powdery, and a little bit addictive.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Nasomatto means ‘crazy nose’ in Italian and this range is for the daring and nonconventional. After working in commercial fragrance for many years, Alessandro longed for his own range of weird & wonderful scents that push the boundaries and become addictive, creating Nasomatto.
“I begin to make something but at a certain point, it starts making choices by itself. It is the process that interests and guides me. I like the feeling of losing control and I’m not the one making the choices. My involvement is to create something that is alive and will be able to say new things. I want my perfumes to have an intelligence of their own, not just be slaves to my meaning.” Alessandro Gualtieri
