Alessandro's story
The story
He learned the craft through formal study in Germany combined with informal lessons from an Italian expatriate perfumer, then built his reputation working with fashion houses including Fendi, Versace, Helmut Lang, and Diesel before founding his own line, Nasomatto, in Amsterdam. He has since founded Orto Parisi, which explores the animalic side of scent, and Maria Lux with his wife, Dutch designer Lilian Driessen. Distinctively, Gualtieri refuses to publish ingredient lists for his fragrances, choosing instead to describe the idea behind each one and leave the notes for the wearer to discover.
