Released in 2007, Nasomatto Duro remains a benchmark for the masculine woody-spicy genre. As the debut fragrance from the house, it established the brand's reputation for high-concentration, unapologetic scents that demand attention. Designed by the visionary Alessandro Gualtieri, Duro—which translates to 'hard' or 'tough' in Italian—is an exploration of raw masculinity. It serves as a testament to the power of simplicity when executed with high-quality materials and technical precision.
