The story behind the bottle.
Narcotic Venus by Nasomatto, launched in 2008 and crafted by Alessandro Gualtieri, is a floral fragrance that balances the ethereal with the sensual. The composition opens with tuberose and white florals, creating an immediate sense of opulence and warmth. This is contrasted with subtle animalic and green notes, adding depth and complexity to the scent. The soft spicy undertones further enhance its richness, making it a fragrance that evolves gracefully throughout the day.
Due to its long-lasting nature and strong sillage, Narcotic Venus requires only one or two sprays. It blooms close to the skin over time, so a light application is recommended for those who prefer a more personal scent experience.
