Alessandro Gualtieri
Alessandro Gualtieri, an Italian perfumer, has revolutionized the fragrance industry with his avant-garde approach. After studying historic perfumery techniques in Germany and learning from an Italian ex-pat, Gualtieri launched his Nasomatto line in Amsterdam, breaking away from traditional norms. Known for his bold, transgressive scents, he rejects conventional ingredient lists, instead offering evocative descriptions that invite wearers to interpret the essence of each fragrance. His creations, such as Duro and Black Afgano, are designed to evoke specific emotional states and personal experiences.
Gualtieri’s distinctive philosophy and refusal to adhere to traditional practices have established him as a daring innovator. His Nasomatto and Orto Parisi lines, alongside his collaboration with his wife in Maria Lux, reflect his commitment to exploring the profound and sometimes provocative facets of human nature. His fragrances remain a testament to his unique vision and creativity in the art of perfumery.
