I love Black Afgano because it’s dark, strong (though not as strong as it once was), it’s an after midnight kind of a scent. It’s a scent that turns heads, I’ve never heard anyone say they disliked it on me.
I own Pardon and Baraonda, and these two are also my favourites. I prefer Pardon, though. It is in my top 3 of all fragrances I've ever tried. A masterpiece.
I’ve got Black Afgano, Pardon, Duro, Barraonda, and Absinthe. And I literally just bought Blamage and now (damn it) I keep adding Fantomas to my cart...closing my browser...opening my browser...adding it to my cart again...closing my cart...watching the Nasomatto movie which cost me 8 bucks...spraying myself with Pardon...closing my web browser...watching Fantomas reviews...opening my browser...trying to justify paying $60+ just for shipping...fuck.
I fell in love with Black Afgano when I first got a 2 ml sample. My full bottle definitely feels softer than the sample I had but its still a beautiful scent.
I'm soooo glad you put Baraonda as No. 1. I am obsessed with it. I've recently got into honey-laced Whisky Liqueurs and it reminds me of that. It is stunning! I have recently discovered Andrea Maack perfumes and would love to see a review on that house by you. I adore the Birch fragrance, reminds me of dried hay/sweetgrass. I also loved your review of Serge Lutens. I'm a huge fan of Jeux de Peau as it reminds me of patisseries, croissants, buttery goodness...You have me seriously considering purchasing the Feminite Du Bois & Fleurs D'oranguer, I'm craving Citrus right now!! 🍊🍋I'm also loving Diptique's L'ombre Dans L'eau & L'Artisan Parfumeur's Tenebrae or Tea for Two...all so divine! Oh, & Robert Piguet's Alameda...fabulous scent!
I totally agree with you about the strength of the fragrances. I bought a sample of pardon two years ago, I fell inlove with it but couldn't afford a full bottle. Two years later (2 months ago I bought me a full bottle and I find the sample was longer lasting and more impressive
I am a huge fan of the house and own and love all the frags you mentioned. Totally agree with your ranking, however, I think you missed out Nudiflorum and the latest release Fantomas. so heres my ranking: 1. Fantomas 2. Baraonda 3. Nudiflorum 4. Pardon 5. Hindu Grass and Black Afghano 6. Duro Also check out the Orto Parisi collection also by Alessandro Gualtieri.
2008 I found Duro in Melbourne Australia and everyone loved it..but I found myself loving Hindu Gras which has been my day to day for 10 years.. I recently bought Pardon which is great for winter
pardon was more original bae but oud monarch has taken the chocolate magnolia oud title i so love. Baraonda gets all the compliments for me, cant wait for the new fragrance.
I love Black Afgano. It also was one of the first fragrances I've bought many years ago. Still have some juice in my old bottle - strong, intoxicating, dark... Magnificent.
Never tried them, Black Afgano is on my list, and I will also consider Pardon and Baraonda, I want the most realistic, long lasting whisky accord, I don't know if Baraonda is what I'm looking for. Thank you Sebastian!
Mr. Sebastian .. I have more than 250 high perfumes and seeking more and more .. you are the best ever in TH-cam who talks about perfumes seriously & wisely without clowning .. just a real gentleman who knows exactly how to choose and balance his words .. I'm glade to subscribe ,follow wait for all your videos and make you the first one should i listen to him 🙂♥️
I once tested Black Afghano and big surprise it literally smells like Cannabis. It's not a bad scent I just don't find it a practical, let alone wearable scent. I cannot imagine any situation in which it would benefit me to smell like pot. Well, maybe at a Halloween party dressed as a Rastafari.
@@iamptm The one and only to make Nasomatto famous for and the most unique Black Afgano...Xerjoff, and other “ niche “ houses already copying from this legend.
I'm a fan of Nasomatto. My fav one is Narcotic V for obvious reasons. Black Afgano is my fav for winter - it is very heavy and I wouldn't wear it in warm or hot weather. Baraonda is my fav jeans fragrance :) China white and Silver musk are my fav summer fragrances. Blamage is for fall...
Number 1 Pardon, I love patchouli and it’s a awesome classy perfume. Number 2 absinthe, I’m surprised you didn’t mention this one, it’s a great one too, too bad it vanishes in 4 hours on my skin
Top five for me would be 1. Pardon 2. Blamage 3. Hindu Grass (weak performance) 4. Boronda 5. Duro I would only own Blamage as I have other similar fragrances that are a better value in comparison to my other 5. Duro has a similar vibe to a montale for instance and I prefer both Heritage and Desert Rosewood over Pardon.
Black afgano has been reformulated and restrained but I love it . I am on my third bottle.It is very dry and clean for a very long time and perhaps after the first 5/6 hours it becomes sweet. Pardon I am about to order very soon.What you smell and is green could be the sandal wood in Pardon.
I agree with your rankings for the most part! I think that Baraonda is very sexy, especially on a woman. Pardon is elegant, perfect for a date. 3rd place for Duro, I use it for clubbing with an unique scent. Never tried Hindu grass, my fourth place is Fantomas, a briliant and artistic fragrance perfect for cold winter days. Black afgano maybe too strong for me but it's great
Love Black Afghano, it's the first niche fragrance I bought. Very intense, yet smooth and classy... . And I love the cap on it ! Duro is also very good, woody, aromatic, assertive. Really hard, as its namesake...yes, it does sound ambiguous. Baraonda not for me, not into boozy frags at all.
Duro & Afgano, huuuh what a 2 masterpieces. Mamaaa mia! Yes, Duro is a little bit dry, but its my favorite leather-ish parfume of all time. Gucci guilty absolute opens my nose for a Dure expiriance, and it was worthy.
Ditto. Most of these don't even tempt me with their note breakdowns. Especially at the Extrait levels. Everything feels like an oversteer. I find Pardon both beautiful and difficult to wear.
Absolutely love the Black Afgano. Why, because I have not found anything similar. Therefore its distinction makes it a masterpiece. It was also my first niche purchase and worth every penny.
I just got Fantomas last week and Sebastián let me tell you.....its freaking amazing,i know you own Nishane Neffs and i have that one to and its my favorite Nishane,so Fantomas is in the same ball park but they each have their own character as where Fantomas has a sweet dry down Nefs has a more dry oriëntal dry down,dont get me wrong they each smell different when you smell them side by side....so you have to try Fantomas its a realy amazing release.
I haven't hit one I don't like yet, though staying on the woman side (no Duro yet). Loved it since I got China White, then soon after Absinthe...now I'm flipping back and forth between Nudiflorum or Pardon for next purchase.
Black Afgano is classic. Hindu Grass is so so smooth. Pardon is like falling into a whisky barrel. Haven't tried Silver Musk. Wouldn't be unhappy to own the entire line.
I only have one nasomatto so far and it is black afgano. I don't reach out as often as my other perfumes. Maybe because it is quite dark and the weather in my country is so warm. Prefer to wear it during cooler nights.
Nice list you own there! I didn't smell baraonda and hindu grass! The new one called fantomas and I hear it smells like watermelon! And finally my no1 from the nasomattos and the only I own is blamage!!! It was love from first sniff!! It's about leather and birch but I think it has something floral also!! No 2 black afgano 3 nudiflorum 4 Pardon and 5 duro!!
Perfect timing!!. Just about to click submit cart to sample purchase and the video dropped. 😁😁. I had to hold fire and watch the video. Thanks Sebastian!!
Well, I bought a few samples like Duro Baraonda and Pardon. My favorite is Pardon. The others are good smelling. Pardon is so great smelling especially during the winter. You might change your mind Sebastian. Why don't you wear Baraonda and Pardon for a month . Good video!
I’ve only tried 4 so far but all 4 are amazing (Pardon, Duro, Silver Musk and Baraonda) amazing not just good. Baraonda being my favourite as I’m a boozy scent lover Baraonda is simply perfect.
Hi Sebastian, I like whisky fragrances too, then I adore Baraonda. But, have you smelt Armaf Niche Oud? I think you will like a lot. It has a great performance and reminds me to Baraonda. Great video.
Been dying to try this brand. The Blamage bottle is so neato that I think it's already my favorite smelling of the lot without having smelled any of them 😅
I loved Black Afgano so much I still do love it but much less.....I guess I used up about 90 mil of it (3 bottles 30ml each) I still got about 20ml left on my newest bottle that I bought....but a few weeks ago I was wearing Guerlain L'Instant and after about two hours I had a sniff of my wrist and I was confused because I knew I had put on Guerlain but it smelled so much like Black Afgano!!! they smelled so much alike that I went to my collection and smelled Guerlain....and yes it smelled just like Afgano on dry-down....That's my experience and I much prefer Instant over Afgano so I kinda stopped using it ever since
Great review. I had Pardon as my number one for a long time till I got Baraonda. I only have 4. Would have Baraonda, Pardon, Duro,Black Afgano. Cheers!
Hi Sebastian, I recently picked up Duro, Absinth & Blamage. Duro is solid ,woody & masculine . Absinth is a wildcard, intoxicating and exotic. Blamage…. mmmm , not sure about this one. It leans very feminine like an expensive church lady. I’m wondering if cooler weather would calm this one down. If not, it will be gifted to a female.
Duro for me smells like kids color markers from my childhood, that completely threw me of . I bought it and even got through half of the bottle but eventually had to sell it when doing spring cleaning
I owned Baraonda and Pardon. They were blind-buys. The smell was very very good, but the sillage and the longevity were so bad, that I sold both bottles. :-(
@@edenhardwick2006 I dont think it is that prominent rather the hard tobacco sort of fragrance takeover everything. Moreover, let me give it more attention to reply your query about Oud
Hindu Grass is my number one. Second would be Absinth, then Pardon, then Duro and Black Afgano. The last three, my new bottles are not the same as the old ones. Very sad Hindu Grass is not longer.
Does anyone know the reasoning behind Hindu Grass being discontinued? Was it because the ingredients were too costly? I’m not privy to the prices of perfume oils, but I can’t imagine patchouli being more expensive than the other constituents in this range?
My bottle of Narcotic V almost done;-) I love Nudiflorum but just for wintertime. I received Fantomas and is amazing. Loved but is not long lasting as others. For evening out Black Afgano. Day time China white.
Love the house , interesting to see what way you'd organise them :) For me its pardon , duro & blamage I still need to try hindu grass and also silver musk to know the whole line 🍀
Great timing, as usual. I have decants of Duro and Baraonda on the way. Tried Black Afghano and didn't care for it at the time, but my nose has definitely changed. I love a boozy fragrance too, they're so indulgent 😍 Also, I see they do trio packs of pure perfume oil roll-ons. Anyone know if they actually work?
Baraonda is my favourite too . The batch number is 07213 so it is a 2021 release and because of that it is not the same as the tester I smelled , less boozy but smell nice too.

Is pardon a Special occasion fragrance ?

I own Duro, Pardon, and Baraonda, and I am in complete agreement with your rankings! Baraonda would pretty consistently be in my top 5 of all time.
I love this house. This is my favorite time of year to bust out Black Afgano. Love that scent above all
The first time I tested Black Afgano I hated it big time, now is one of my favorites.
My top 5: Fantomas, Blamage, Black Afgano, Pardon, Baraonda.
Blamage is soooo underrated
Love the House of Madnose. Black Afgano is really addicted, pure masterpiece
I fell in love with Black Afgano when I first got a 2 ml sample. My full bottle definitely feels softer than the sample I had but its still a beautiful scent.

m wearing black afgano right now ! I mean how can you not ! it's a middle eastern type masterpiece !
Dear Sebastian, My favourite from this house is Pardon just a beautiful chocolaty patchouli absolutely gorgeous. Thanks a million
Blamage is my favorite , and also the first from the house.
Can't wait to try Fantomas!
it's ok but not very original or very strong
My favorite is Nasomatto Fantomas. It's absolutely gorgeous
Agreed, but not long lasting just 3-5 h
I totally agree with you about the strength of the fragrances. I bought a sample of pardon two years ago, I fell inlove with it but couldn't afford a full bottle. Two years later (2 months ago I bought me a full bottle and I find the sample was longer lasting and more impressive
Agreed. My original Black Afgano was a one spray beast. Purchased 2011. Purchased a bottle last year and it is notably weaker.
Silver musk When I wear this perfume ... and meet people ... it makes me feel like the only one that took a shower.. I love it
I am a huge fan of the house and own and love all the frags you mentioned. Totally agree with your ranking, however, I think you missed out Nudiflorum and the latest release Fantomas.
so heres my ranking:
1. Fantomas
2. Baraonda
3. Nudiflorum
4. Pardon
5. Hindu Grass and Black Afghano
6. Duro
Also check out the Orto Parisi collection also by Alessandro Gualtieri.
Nudiflorum any day
2008 I found Duro in Melbourne Australia and everyone loved it..but I found myself loving Hindu Gras which has been my day to day for 10 years.. I recently bought Pardon which is great for winter
Both based on patchouli, Gualtieri really rocks patch. Try Brutus, for another great patchouli by Alessandro.
I have absinth and pardon, they blend well together btw, love them both but pardon is my favorite
How does absinthe smell? I’ve been wanting to buy it
@@fatemakh96 its a very green, herbal and earthy smell, it also reminds me of Zahter or za’atar the culinary herb... i love it, really a unique scent
pardon was more original bae but oud monarch has taken the chocolate magnolia oud title i so love. Baraonda gets all the compliments for me, cant wait for the new fragrance.
I love Black Afgano. It also was one of the first fragrances I've bought many years ago. Still have some juice in my old bottle - strong, intoxicating, dark... Magnificent.
my top 5 :
5 - Narcotic V
4 - Nudiflorum
3 - Duro
2 - Pardon
1 - Black Afghano
Never tried them, Black Afgano is on my list, and I will also consider Pardon and Baraonda, I want the most realistic, long lasting whisky accord, I don't know if Baraonda is what I'm looking for. Thank you Sebastian!
Baraonda is exactly what your looking for then ..
Baronda is a masterpiece.
Scott Aranda absolutely 👍
It’s definitely what you’re looking for

you should have combined nasomatto and orto parisi video together and called it creative work of Alessandro Gualteri
Top five for me would be
1. Pardon
2. Blamage
3. Hindu Grass (weak performance)
4. Boronda
5. Duro
I would only own Blamage as I have other similar fragrances that are a better value in comparison to my other 5. Duro has a similar vibe to a montale for instance and I prefer both Heritage and Desert Rosewood over Pardon.
That’s how I’d rank them. Great list. Baraonda is beautiful and beastly off my skin.
Agree
I’m a big fan of this house. Been waiting for this review.
My fave is Baraonda
Thank you Sebastian, I was waiting for this list. I caught you right away as well.
Black afgano has been reformulated and restrained but I love it . I am on my third bottle.It is very dry and clean for a very long time and perhaps after the first 5/6 hours it becomes sweet. Pardon I am about to order very soon.What you smell and is green could be the sandal wood in Pardon.
Black afgano is most amazing fragrance I ever smelt wow 🤩
It's too powerful
Do you find Pardon similar to Bentley for Men Intense?
agreeing with the opening statements, i find that most fragrances have to be egregiously over-sprayed to make an impact these days
Obsessed with both Nasomatto and Orto Parisi. Black Afghano is pure heaven.
I agree with your rankings for the most part! I think that Baraonda is very sexy, especially on a woman. Pardon is elegant, perfect for a date. 3rd place for Duro, I use it for clubbing with an unique scent. Never tried Hindu grass, my fourth place is Fantomas, a briliant and artistic fragrance perfect for cold winter days. Black afgano maybe too strong for me but it's great

Pardon is number 1 all day, seductive, sexy, charming without trying... Calm before the storm.
Duro & Afgano, huuuh what a 2 masterpieces. Mamaaa mia! Yes, Duro is a little bit dry, but its my favorite leather-ish parfume of all time. Gucci guilty absolute opens my nose for a Dure expiriance, and it was worthy.
Pardon is the only one I own. I need to mention that their sprayer is amazing.
Ditto. Most of these don't even tempt me with their note breakdowns. Especially at the Extrait levels. Everything feels like an oversteer. I find Pardon both beautiful and difficult to wear.
Difficult in what sense?
I find replica by the fireplace difficult to wear but that’s because I don’t ever have an occasion where I think it suits
Absolutely love the Black Afgano. Why, because I have not found anything similar. Therefore its distinction makes it a masterpiece. It was also my first niche purchase and worth every penny.

Tested most and owned Duro, thats the beast of all. Yet to try the new release.
I first tried Hindu Grass in 2008 in Monaco. Should have purchased a bottle because I haven't seen in since when I returned back to Canada
I don't have any of them in my collection but I really enjoyed your videos,it's very informative thanks Sebastian.
I haven't hit one I don't like yet, though staying on the woman side (no Duro yet). Loved it since I got China White, then soon after Absinthe...now I'm flipping back and forth between Nudiflorum or Pardon for next purchase.
I am currently testing Baraonda and I do love it. I am surprised you haven't mentioned Narcotic V. Love that one. Tuberose scent.
I love Nasomatto and Orto Parisi.
Love Duro. How about a review of Terroni?
Pardon is in my top 10 of all fragrances
1.Duro
2.Pardon
3.Baraonda
Ohhhhh 👍👍👍👍👍 Amazing😇
My ranking (from my collection)
1. Fantomas
2. Nudiflorum
3. Narcotic V
4. Black Afgano
5. China White
6. Silver Musk
Baraonda my favorite one in this brand and probably one of my favorite fragrance in all world
Black Afgano is my favourite I’m so excited now to try the other ones too, thank you! 🙌🏽
Black Afgano is classic. Hindu Grass is so so smooth. Pardon is like falling into a whisky barrel. Haven't tried Silver Musk. Wouldn't be unhappy to own the entire line.
Excellent house and lineup! My top are Duro, Baraonda and Black Afganno 🤑 To add, to me I get Patchouli in Duro.
I only have one nasomatto so far and it is black afgano. I don't reach out as often as my other perfumes. Maybe because it is quite dark and the weather in my country is so warm. Prefer to wear it during cooler nights.
my favorite list
1 Black Afgano
2 China White
3 Baraonda
4 Blamage
Nice list you own there! I didn't smell baraonda and hindu grass! The new one called fantomas and I hear it smells like watermelon! And finally my no1 from the nasomattos and the only I own is blamage!!! It was love from first sniff!! It's about leather and birch but I think it has something floral also!!

Perfect timing!!. Just about to click submit cart to sample purchase and the video dropped. 😁😁. I had to hold fire and watch the video. Thanks Sebastian!!
1 baraonda 2 duro 3 pardon 4 black afgano 5 silver musk
Well, I bought a few samples like Duro Baraonda and Pardon. My favorite is Pardon. The others are good smelling. Pardon is so great smelling especially during the winter.
You might change your mind Sebastian. Why don't you wear Baraonda and Pardon for a month .
Good video!
Orto parisi -terroni has the same profile as black afghano without the hashish note, its great to layer with black afgano. Beast combo
I’ve only tried 4 so far but all 4 are amazing (Pardon, Duro, Silver Musk and Baraonda) amazing not just good. Baraonda being my favourite as I’m a boozy scent lover Baraonda is simply perfect.
I just recently acquired Pardon and baronda this month very happy with them.
Ironically it's your description of Silver Musk, the honorable mention, that I find the most appealing!
Possibly my favourite niche house. My favourites are Pardon, Black Afgano, Duro and Baroanda.
Hi Sebastian,
I like whisky fragrances too, then I adore Baraonda. But, have you smelt Armaf Niche Oud? I think you will like a lot. It has a great performance and reminds me to Baraonda.
Great video.
Been dying to try this brand. The Blamage bottle is so neato that I think it's already my favorite smelling of the lot without having smelled any of them 😅
I would place Pardon, Silver Musk and Baraonda in that order. Interested to hear your thoughts on Fantomas Seb
I loved Black Afgano so much I still do love it but much less.....I guess I used up about 90 mil of it (3 bottles 30ml each) I still got about 20ml left on my newest bottle that I bought....but a few weeks ago I was wearing Guerlain L'Instant and after about two hours I had a sniff of my wrist and I was confused because I knew I had put on Guerlain but it smelled so much like Black Afgano!!! they smelled so much alike that I went to my collection and smelled Guerlain....and yes it smelled just like Afgano on dry-down....That's my experience and I much prefer Instant over Afgano so I kinda stopped using it ever since
Great review. I had Pardon as my number one for a long time till I got Baraonda. I only have 4. Would have Baraonda, Pardon, Duro,Black Afgano.
Cheers!
Really looking for your review of the new nasomatto!
Thanks Sebastian, what do you think about Nudiflorum?
what about the trail of it?
Absinth!!! It’s my fav
Hi Sebastian, I recently picked up Duro, Absinth & Blamage.
Duro is solid ,woody & masculine . Absinth is a wildcard, intoxicating and exotic. Blamage…. mmmm , not sure about this one. It leans very feminine like an expensive church lady. I’m wondering if cooler weather would calm this one down. If not, it will be gifted to a female.
Duro for me smells like kids color markers from my childhood, that completely threw me of . I bought it and even got through half of the bottle but eventually had to sell it when doing spring cleaning
I think I would put Duro on number 1. If not 1, top 3 for sure.
I have pardon and love it...I get notes of Roses to but the NO 1 should have been absinthe...its lovely.
Love Black Afgango still in my top 5 out of all my fragrances
Seb great review! Own Baraonda and absolutely in love with it!
I owned Baraonda and Pardon. They were blind-buys. The smell was very very good, but the sillage and the longevity were so bad, that I sold both bottles. :-(
I have the Black Afghans and I will love to get Duro and Pardon soon. Black Afgano suits my personality and my intentions to take over the gatherings.
Is the oud in blqck afgano prominent?
@@edenhardwick2006 I dont think it is that prominent rather the hard tobacco sort of fragrance takeover everything. Moreover, let me give it more attention to reply your query about Oud
Hindu Grass is my number one. Second would be Absinth, then Pardon, then Duro and Black Afgano. The last three, my new bottles are not the same as the old ones. Very sad Hindu Grass is not longer.
we can agree on our #1. curious to try the new Patchouli fragrance they have coming out
Does anyone know the reasoning behind Hindu Grass being discontinued? Was it because the ingredients were too costly? I’m not privy to the prices of perfume oils, but I can’t imagine patchouli being more expensive than the other constituents in this range?
I personally don’t believe that given reason of ingredients being expensive. Don’t believe it a bit/
Maybe because I'm a woman, but where are all the gorgeous Nuda, Narcotic Venus and Nudiflorum?? 😍❤️❤️ Those are my top 3 picks 😘
Agree. I became a bit obsessed with Narcotic V. I have a review of it in case you are interested in hearing what I think about it.
My bottle of Narcotic V almost done;-) I love Nudiflorum but just for wintertime. I received Fantomas and is amazing. Loved but is not long lasting as others. For evening out Black Afgano. Day time China white.
Oh wow perfect timing I was actually thinking of buying baraonda today, I own pardon so far from nasomatto
Did u get it I have baraonda which one do u like better
@@Marstardon- yea I got it and was disappointed , pardon is better , baraonda smells like raw alcohol and woods it's over hyped to me
For me the favs are Duro and Nudiflorum.
Love the house , interesting to see what way you'd organise them :)
For me its pardon , duro & blamage
I still need to try hindu grass and also silver musk to know the whole line 🍀
Great timing, as usual. I have decants of Duro and Baraonda on the way. Tried Black Afghano and didn't care for it at the time, but my nose has definitely changed. I love a boozy fragrance too, they're so indulgent 😍 Also, I see they do trio packs of pure perfume oil roll-ons. Anyone know if they actually work?
Seb, next will be top Orto Parisi?=)
Yes top 5 orto parisi would be good, they are amazing fragrances
I have and like Black Afgano!..I Also have a Middle East Black Afgano Oil which they both have very similar smells
Baraonda is my favourite too . The batch number is 07213 so it is a 2021 release and because of that it is not the same as the tester I smelled , less boozy but smell nice too.
Big fan of the house. Black Afgano or Pardon but want to try more of them.
