Like Nasomatto perfumes, you either love them or hate them; they don’t leave you indifferent. At first it’s strong, heavy and dry; after some time you start to sense the leather and wood notes, light spices, but especially leather. Very masculine… I like it a lot…, although the star of the Nasomatto house is undoubtedly the impressive Black Afgano.
Hard feels hard from the opening right through to the heart notes, very synthetic and basic, almost entirely Cashmeran with a very slight spice note and little else. It is true that Cashmeran has a pleasant dry woody aroma, but clearly this doesn’t make it either a great scent or a masterpiece. The drydown improves a bit and it’s not quite so minimal as a leather accord with a smoky touch also enters. A pleasant composition, with good longevity and projection, but so little artistic and simple that the high price of the 30ml bottle, around £115, is not justified at all. Rating: 4.
Duro feels hard from the opening and until the middle notes, very synthetic and simple, almost everything is Cashmeran with a very slight note of spices with almost nothing else. It is true that the Cashmeran has a very pleasant dry woody aroma, but it is clear that this does not make it either a great scent or a masterpiece. The drying improves a bit and it is not so minimal as additionally an accord of leather with a smoky touch enters. A pleasant composition, with good longevity and projection, but so little artistic and simple that it does not justify (at all) the high price of the 30ml, around 115€. Rating: 4.
I like it. It smells like new furniture, just like when you unwrap a newly made, assembled, glued and varnished piece. It’s masculine, simple and linear. Of the whole line, which I’ve tried, I consider it the least strident and the most unobtrusive, which is a positive in enclosed places like work.
Wood and Leather. Sometimes colognes don’t hook you on the first spray, but with this one from Le Secret du Marais, I almost felt like insulting Patricia. I went for a walk and an hour later I was back to buy it. It’s a wood and leather bomb: it starts with dark wood and leather, then the oud comes out, the leather returns, and everything mixes to give a super alpha scent that I love; by the end it seems to add a layer of pine cream. I understand it’s not for everyone and you have to try it first (I don’t recommend buying blind). It has a sexy edge, but it’s not its forte. Not for daily wear. Sometimes it leaves a dirty note, but normally it doesn’t. Projection and longevity are brutal, over eight hours. From the Nasomatto collection it disputes first place with Pardon. Rating: 8.5. Would I buy it: Yes.
The opening is woody and I sensed a hint of smoke. Soon the leather emerges and, together with the wood, dominates the fragrance. Very potent and masculine. I wouldn’t apply more than two sprays. It’s practically linear and suited to cold weather. A mature perfume; young people should abstain. But Duro has a rival and it’s called Gucci Guilty Absolute. Yes, it’s designer, but it doesn’t look like one, and the quality is very high. If I didn’t know the Gucci perfume, I’d say it’s niche. Gucci seems more interesting to me than Duro and I prefer it. Both are challenging and potent, super masculine.
I am testing this perfume and it is surprising me greatly as it is nothing like I expected; I am not sure if it surprises me for good or for bad… On one hand, it surprises me for the good from an aromatic point of view. I had read and seen so many reviews talking about how potent it is, comparing it to Gucci Guilty Absolute or Dark Lord by Kilian, so I expected a hyper-powerful leather bomb smelling of petrol, and yet I have found a very well-constructed and wearable leather scent, for me almost even more in the line of Tuscan Leather, with a spicy part that balances that wild side of the leather very well and makes it very pleasant. I am not a lover of perfumes with very pronounced leather notes so I had a bit of fear of this one, and yet I have loved the aroma. I would use it without any kind of problem and without doubt. In addition, I find it totally unisex and I can imagine any woman wearing this perfectly. However on the other hand it has surprised me a bit for the bad from the point of view of performance. Just because I expected a bomb of a perfume, I expected it to have important longevity and projection. The longevity is not bad, but to be a perfume extract and comparing it with other Nasomatto perfumes, and even Orto Parisi which are supposed to carry a slightly lower concentration of essences, it remains quite just. The projection is very very soft, turning Duro into a very discreet perfume, which in no way goes in line with its name. In fact I have even noticed that the texture of the perfume is not as dense as other perfumes from the brand. I have Pardon in my collection and I have used Black Afgano several times, and either of the two when it comes into contact with the skin produces a somewhat oily sensation, as if the liquid is a bit denser than in the case of other perfumes. Duro however evaporated quickly and I did not have that sensation when applying it. Therefore although it smells very well, much better than I expected, I do not think it will behave like a genuine perfume extract and therefore I would never pay what they ask for it. Just as when I tested Pardon it seemed worth it because it offers very good performance and an original and different aroma, in the case of Duro I think there are many other much cheaper options on the market that can substitute it perfectly or even improve it. Scent: 8. Longevity: 7.5. Projection: 6. Value for money: 4. Versatility: 6. Originality: 6. Overall: 7.5.
Testing this perfume has been quite a surprise; it’s not what I expected, not sure if for better or worse. Olfactorily, it surprises for the better: I read reviews describing it as a potent gasoline-and-leather bomb like Gucci Guilty Absolute or Kilian’s Dark Lord, but I found a well-constructed, wearable leather, almost in the line of Tuscan Leather, with spices that balance the wild side and make it pleasant. I’m not a lover of pronounced leather and was wary, but I’ve loved it. I’d wear it without hesitation and find it totally unisex; I can imagine any woman wearing it. However, I’m surprised for the worse regarding performance. I expected a bomb, but the longevity is just adequate for an extrait, even compared to Orto Parisí which has lower concentration. The projection is very soft, turning Duro into a discreet perfume that doesn’t match its name. I even noticed the texture isn’t as dense as other scents from the brand; while Pardon and Black Afgano leave an oily sensation, Duro evaporated quickly. Although it smells very well, better than expected, I don’t think it behaves like a true extrait and wouldn’t pay what they ask. Like with Pardon, it was worth it for performance and originality, but with Duro, there are cheaper options that substitute or improve upon it. Aroma: 8, Longevity: 7.5, Projection: 6, Value for money: 4, Versatility: 6, Originality: 6, Overall: 7.5.
This perfume on my skin is very grateful, 3 sprays at 7:30 in the morning and being 21:00 and after having showered and it still remains on my skin. Not to mention what it lasts on clothes, really worth every euro it costs. I use it 2 to 3 times a week and always get compliments, in my case it projects a lot and after 6 hours it stays there to live with you.
This perfume is a real treat on my skin: three sprays at 7:30, and after a shower at 21:00, it’s still there. No need to mention how long it lingers on clothes; it’s truly worth every euro. I use it two or three times a week and always receive compliments; it projects massively and after six hours, it simply stays with you.
Another Nasomatto discovery that stands apart from everything else. From the outset, it’s dry leather with a touch of wood, fairly linear but very original and masculine. Projection and longevity are decent, though I must test it in cold weather over the coming months to draw a firm conclusion. It differs from Pardon or Black Afgano; I see it for cold weather and nights, not particularly unisex. I liked it, though it wouldn’t make the cut on my wishlist.
Another Nasomatto discovery and another perfume that stands apart from everything I knew. From the start I perceive a leather that is nothing excessive, dry, with some wood that remains quite linear on my skin but which results in being very original and very masculine. Projection and durability correct although to draw a good conclusion I will have to try it in a few months when it starts to get cold. Different to Pardon or Black Afgano, I see it for cold and nights and not too unisex. I have liked it although it would not be in the first places of my list of acquisitions.
First Pardon, now Duro: it seems they have reformulated, and they are no longer even a shadow of what they were; not even the niche segment is saved. I tried Black Afgano a couple of years ago and it was excellent with incredible performance; I considered buying it afterwards, but now I have doubts. Has anyone tried it recently and can share their thoughts on its current performance?
Opens with a potent, very chemical dark wood reminiscent of furniture polish, which I didn’t enjoy. After ninety minutes, the chemical edge fades and it builds a boozy, barrel-aged woody profile, though it gets stuck there. It’s a lovely base for another fragrance, but as a standalone it feels incomplete. I was surprised by the poor performance: weak projection throughout and a duration of about six hours. At 30ml, the value for money is scandalous, just like the price hike for Date de Fragrance One. Scent: 5.5/10, Longevity: 6h, Projection: occasional bursts for the first hour and a half, Emotional impact: No, Originality: 4/10, Price: 124€ (30ml), Recommended: Low.
The current Black Afgano is no beast at all. I bought it two months ago at Regia, and it lacks the powerful trail it had before. What a pity.
Leather, woods, and a stony sense of masculinity in the bottle. Fantastic! Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Imagine being an archaeologist: digging in damp earth, opening a mouldy wooden door, and stepping into an ancient knights’ hall. Dark wood, worn leather chairs, dust, and lingering traces of smoke and musk floating in the air. It’s a hard, strong, serious, and resilient masculine scent. It suits casual or elegant attire, but not ultra-casual. It boasts excellent projection and longevity on the skin. It smells like an established older man at ease at the gaming table. If you enjoy woody aromas, give it a try.
Imagine you are an archaeologist. You are digging in the damp earth and discover a thick wooden door. You push and push the mouldy door until it finally opens and you enter a room that was once used as a gentlemen’s room in years past. A place where the men of the community would gather, drink drinks, smoke cigars, play cards and talk about business. The walls and floors are of dark and heavy wood and the chairs are covered in thick leather that has worn out from use over the years. Piles of dust cover the floors of years of neglect. Touches of smoke, mixed with a damp musk, float in the air, remnants of past meetings. Duro is a very masculine scent for my nose. Strong, powerful, serious and sturdy. It can be worn with informal, formal or elegant clothes, but not ultra casual. It achieves great projection and longevity on my skin. This seems to me the scent of an older man. Someone who has made a name and can sit comfortably at the gaming table. If you like masculine woody scents, you should try this.
This Gualtieri has projection and note longevity, yet it smells linear and never truly develops; the wood, leather, and spice notes separate, leaving a synthetic, dry scent with a strong alcohol presence. There are better leather options out there. From this house, Pardon and Baraonda are my favourites.
Duro by Nasomatto: begins with smoky, liquorice notes mixed with earthy bases, woods and leather all coming out together. It ends the same; during the dry-down, the smokiness fades slightly. It doesn’t evolve; it’s very linear. It smells good and elegant, but doesn’t stand out. It’s not that versatile and the projection leaves something to be desired. The price for 30ml is steep. Age: 28+. 100% Masculine. Seasons: Autumn and Winter. Occasions: Night outs and dates. Scent: 7.8/10. Sprays: 5. Longevity: 8/10. Duration: 6h. Sillage: 7/10. Projection: 7.5/10. Versatility: 7/10. Value for money: 6.5/10. Final score: 7.3/10. Thanks and see you next time.
An extremely masculine scent, ideal for climates of 24 degrees or less, with casual or formal wear. The projection and longevity are a beast, as we’ve come to expect from Gualtieri. In my country, it’s available at a good price on Facebook groups; the price in department stores is ridiculous.
Duro isn’t for everyone, nor can everyone wear it; it’s anything but conventional. While oud collections grow like mushrooms, Alessandro Gualtieri shows how to make them different. Few times has agarwood been staged so well. With its woody, almost spicy opening, it takes no prisoners. Hospital? Office? Better a gang of woodcutters working in a forest in the Dolomites. There’s an alkaline green note, of dry dust and moss. Then comes the base: more wood and an indescribably soft suede. No fruits or flowers, just the smoky sweetness of the oud and an alcoholic touch that triumphs later. It’s dry and relaxing, a wooden hideout in the middle of nowhere. It lives on the skin and permeates the air with balsamic chords. Lasts 8-10 hours. It’s decisive, but becomes annoying if not handled well. I won’t buy it as I have similar ones, but if you have it handy, give it a try.
Not much more to add to the previous reviews. Just to clarify, for me, there’s something in the heart that softens it. It’s masculine, yet not as wild as other leathers; it’s a softened leather, not quite suede, with a slightly floral scent that isn’t creamy. It’s a truly particular leather, unlike any other in this perfumery world.
What a joke that Gualtieri calls this ‘Duro’. To reflect its rough, virile nature, he chose a composition centred on musk, perhaps the most musky in the house (apart from Silver Musk). What strikes me as harsh is trying to detect notes and finding nothing. They speak of leather and spices, yet it smells like pure Cashmeran. There’s only a hint of Safraleine in the opening that recalls saffron, as in Oud for Greatness, but the overdose of Cashmeran drowns it all out. For me, it’s an outrage: hard to take.
I’m annoyed that Gualtieri calls this ‘Duro’. If you want to scream masculinity and rough virility, choose a composition centred on musk. Unless it’s the most musky in the house (apart from Silver Musk), it’s close enough. What I find truly harsh is sniffing it over and over trying to pick out notes, aromas… simply anything! And I can’t find them. People talk of leather, spices, woods… it just smells of pure Cashmeran. Nothing more. Pure Cashmeran with a touch of Safraleine at the start giving a saffron aroma, and yes, it’s used in leathers; a combination found in Oud for Greatness that offers some similarity at the beginning. I can’t distinguish the notes because the overdose of that molecule drowns out the rest of the composition. Gualtieri scents always make me think of a dichotomy: I don’t know if he’s a genius for taming excessive components or simply gets lucky. To me, it’s an outrage. I can’t conceive how he could have deemed it finished with such a lack of nuance and harmony. I like several of his compositions. It’s an interesting style, with many facets and not so well balanced, but this perfume is too much. Harsh, yes, but hard to take. Best regards.
You can detect dense light and dark woods, liquor (they say it’s whisky), something floral, leather, patchouli and fresh oud. The opening is dense and takes time to separate; in the dry-down the leather fuses with the patchouli, giving a masculine and vintage touch.
Oud, sandalwood and a smoky touch, perhaps amber contrasted with bitter yet sweet notes. It’s quite dry, elegant, sober and formal. The performance is discreet. It reminds me of Montale’s Dark Aoud and Jovoy’s Private Label.
Every time I try Nasomatto or Orto Parisi, I’m surprised. The quality is insane. With Duro it’s the same as with Pardon: hard to describe, but it intoxicates and is addictive. I don’t worry about identifying the listed notes; I simply enjoy and let myself be carried away, letting the perfume speak for itself.
This simply doesn’t work for me. It’s a strange and synthetic compilation. The opening is abrupt, like a poorly resolved battle of notes: sweet, woody, alcoholic, leather… all with that synthetic signature of the house that I sometimes like but not here. It evolves for nothing and the performance is non-existent. It’s the Nasomatto I like the least, and on top of that, it’s expensive.
It shows much more on skin than on the tester: starts slightly sour and spicy, but after settling (around 10 minutes) the earthy and mossy notes take over, with plenty of patchouli and vetiver. It feels like jumping straight into the dry-down of a chypre. It’s not difficult to wear, but it’s for those over 35. Very linear, with little evolution. Projection and sillage are decent, but nothing more. Lasts about 8 hours. A good perfume, although I prefer others with more initial character.
