Nasomatto Black Afgano Extrait

But a good gourmand doesn't just smell like dessert — it balances sweetness with depth. Spicy elements like cinnamon, cardamom, or rum often show up early, giving the fragrance heat and movement. As it settles, creamy or nutty notes like praline, chocolate, or even tobacco begin to shine, giving it a sensual, enveloping character.

There might be a whisper of spice or citrus in the top notes — think pepper, cardamom, or bergamot — which adds dimension without distracting from the heart of the scent. As it evolves, deeper woods come forward: vetiver brings a grassy, slightly bitter edge, while guaiac wood or cashmere wood smooth things out with a soft, resinous warmth.

From the first spray, there’s an immediate sense of depth—often opening with a dry, crisp cedarwood or a creamy sandalwood. These woods offer two sides of masculinity: one sharp and structured, the other soft and smooth.

From the initial spray, you’re greeted with bold, earthy top notes, like citrus or herbs, which offer a fresh opening that invigorates the senses. These are usually complemented by richer, deeper notes that develop over time, such as cedarwood, sandalwood, or vetiver. These woods provide a warm and grounded essence, often evoking a sense of the outdoors or a rugged, natural environment.
