Nothing from Nasomatto - but they'll be back! | Esxence News

Alessandro Gualtieri's Nasomatto were at Esxence, but unlike all the other stands, had no product on show, no staff to answer questions, and no samples to give away. They just had a golden pig-dog thing on a stand with a sign that said "I'll be Back!", surrounded by dead flowers. Pictures follow...

What NEWS are to spread here ? That the brand is clumsy ??

I can't figure it out.

They're not spreading news here, nor is the brand clumsy. This is a very intelligent way of building suspense and anticipation for the brand and any upcoming fragrances they have in store for us. Just think about it: because of this.....they made it to the front page of basenotes.
It looks like the pig-dog is taking a dump on the bottle of perfume. So rude but interesting.
Very Strange.....
That's awesome!
That's really weird .....the truth is out there.....
Shows disrespect for potential customers.

Epater le bourgeoisie? Artist attitude and all that rubbish? Goes along with not disclosing the notes for their scents.

Sorry, not interested.

The "suspense is killing me ..."

Will the fragrances smell weird also ? I had a feeling that this is a build-up to shock. But, the Trade Show is over on Sunday night, so what is the marketing advantage ... ? People will leave for their planes and don't have the energy to absorb anything additional in the last minute.

I believe that they are doing themselves a disservice ... but I could be wrong. Maybe IT IS a gimmick cleverly thought out.
Hmm...interesting...What is that large yellow bottle of?
So it was the dog who was the nose behind Pure Sh*t!
Alessandro Gualtieri abandoned his house. The flowers are dead, and the dog has pooped on the floor.

Hi teardrop. Artwise I think the flowers actually are a good effect. The sign "I'll Be Back" is ok. The little statue of the "dog" seems kind of sophomoric. Whether this was a good public relations move is another matter. There is obviously some hostility over this. Me I say whatever. But then I wasn't someone who might have wanted to talk with them at the show.
The impression that I get from this is that all the other Exhibitors/Houses/Vendors make the concerted effort to bring their creations to the public.

What Nasomatto is saying is - we are soooo special that we DON'T HAVE TO BE HERE. Our dog is shitting on the display and we are ... (not caring) on YOU.

Well, they have my interest, but no buying. If you want me as a customer, you will have to reach out to ME.

Since the exhibit was permitted by the organizers, it can probably not be taken that seriously.

But, the other HOUSES have my vote, my support, and this one has not. (Not that I matter in the least, I just say these words as a potential customer.)
I can't criticize. I wish my Basenotes profile page looked this nice.
Perhaps a comment on the validity/influence of trade shows on perfumery?

In any case, get that poor dog a laxative!

I can't help but quote you. I was there and I thought only "what a stupid guy, wasting money just to say he's cooler than other normal brands". He thinks he's God but he's just another idiot dandy with too much self-image.
