Duro by Nasomatto £108.33

- cedarwood

“Duro” means “hard” in Italian — hard in every way: tough in character, sexually potent, powerful. This leather/oud/patchouli extrait tips the wink towards innuendo, but stops short of literalness by softening the effect with sweet’n’spicy cedarwood. Just earthy enough.

An enigmatic leather perfume merged from captivating nuances of tuberose, orange blossom and gardenia. The wild facet of ylang ylang intertwined with the woody notes of patchouli add a sensuous tone.
