Nasomatto Micodelirio

Micodelirio was created by Alessandro Gualtieri and launched in 2026. It is an earthy, green, herbaceous, woody fragrance that features notes of mushroom, earthy notes, woody notes and sandalwood. Nasomatto sees delirium as a liberating state of mind that frees us from imposed rational thinking, allowing instinct to guide our decisions. Much like microdosing mushrooms, repeated exposure to the fragrance evokes a shift in attitude. It is an extrait de parfum.

NASOMATTO MICODELIRIO REIEWS

Reddit: "Released yesterday. On my wrist today. Let’s go. I wasn’t even planning to write anything yet but I can’t not, this thing demands to be talked about. Opening is immediately disorienting in the best way. Damp, dark, mossy. Not a clean spa moss, more like you just lifted a rock in the woods and put your nose too close to what was living underneath it. There’s a wetness to it that feels almost physical. Then, and this surprised me, something citrusy sneaks in. Not fresh lemon-cologne citrus, more like orange peel left on a window ledge. Slightly bitter, slightly waxy. It shouldn’t work with the dampness but it does, weirdly. And then the base, this is where the name really earns itself. There’s something fungal sitting quietly at the very bottom. Barely there. The network beneath the forest floor that you can’t see but somehow sense is there. You have to lean in. You have to pay attention."

Fragrantica: "So I just got this in as a birthday gift from my friend...and this is really something else. It's almost along the lines of Blamage but in a darker and earthier direction. A sort of sharp astringent dark green-ness? It smells like a poisonous plant or like ash on the bark of a tree in the rainforest. Very green but not in a Vetiver or Oakmoss kind of way. It's green like it's pouring in the rainforest and you've stumbled across a giant wet tree with a bark that you know you shouldn't touch. Petrichor on steroids with something sinister mixed in. I will have to update but I can already tell this is gonna be one of the more interesting ones from the brand. Will let you guys know on the dry down. UPDATE: This thing is quite linear to my nose and that's kind of a good thing here! It retains all of its character from opening to drydown. Rainy, earthy, forest like fragrance. If I want to smell like a wood elf all day, this will be my go to from now on :)"

Fragrantica: "Forest ...vanilla-like (tonka?) labdanum ... delicately silky smoky woods ... tired woods, weighed down by the dense humidity of the beginning of autumn, plushly gooey on the surface, quietly exhaling the last remnants of late summer vapors ... a momentary impression of a deliciously wrinkled iris, which with its sweetness caresses the delicate fir balsams ... resins as if in the form of rotting marshmallows - moist, soft, airy and at the same time warm, moist, dusty ... taste/smell of pine cones - again warm, moist (this fragrance does not contain any cold, winter, cold tone, on the contrary - it is like constantly breathing your own warm breath into your palms) ...if it were possible, then - feet up to the ankles buried in moss and only dark bottle-green branches conifers have behind the roof and palms up and facing the sky a charging and at the same time calming force through my feet in the ground... MICODELIRIO has almost all the flavors in it - sweet bitter sour salty ...forest and space... A sensually velvety scent."

Fragrantica: "Opens like stepping into a damp forest after rain — earthy, dark, and deeply organic. The first minutes smell of wet soil, moss, and crushed wood, almost as if you were walking through a humid woodland at dawn. Soon after, a vivid green accord appears, bringing to mind freshly cut grass and wild herbs, giving the fragrance a natural and slightly untamed character. As it develops, the scent slowly transforms into something softer: a sweet, drydown wrapped in a cool camphor-like nuance."

Fragrantica: "Much better than I expected! It opens mossy, earthy, slightly sweet, and warm. There’s earthy patchouli and moss, along with a subtle chocolate-like accord. It has a slight undertone of a very masculine shower gel vibe, similar to Duro. The chocolatey patchouli also reminds me of Pardon. There’s also a faint urinous nuance (more of a sweet-sour earthiness than anything unpleasant). It creates an impression of mushrooms and damp forest floor, without actually smelling directly like either. It definitely reminds me of a blend of Pardon and Duro—about 30% of those two combined, while the remaining 70% is made up of earthy patchouli, a slightly urinous facet, and a touch of damp, moldy character. That actually makes a lot of sense, because Alessandro Gualtieri’s signature is clearly present here. Even though the theme revolves around mushrooms, there’s still that dense, bodily, almost dirty-sexy foundation running through the fragrance."

Fragrantica: "I spray Micodelirio and suddenly find myself in a damp forest, with the smell of freshly turned earth filling my nostrils. It is an intense, almost unsettling sensation. I try to get my bearings, nose pointed toward the sky. I catch notes of conifers, pine resin, bitter balsamic nuances framed by dry, ancient woods. A hint of mold and mushrooms creeps through the air, then, little by little, an unexpected sweetness emerges: almost fruity, exotic, tropical. Eventually, it blends with something cheesy, animalic, primordial. After a bewildering opening dominated by earthy and balsamic notes, the fragrance develops into a substantial drydown that expands noticeably as body temperature rises, becoming almost overwhelming at times. But it was in the evening that I truly understood it. While taking a walk, I realized that Micodelirio was still there, gently cradling me, bringing a sense of peace and serenity, carrying my thoughts away and leaving me with an unusual feeling of lightness. An evening fragrance. Best suited to autumn and winter. More for oneself than for others. Remarkable projection, remarkable longevity. My personal impression is that, unlike many other fragrances by Gualtieri, this one contains a significant amount of natural raw materials."

Fragrantica: "I’ve worn Micodelirio 3 days in a row since I got it. Each time I’ve worn it I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can’t say “it smells exactly like a forest full of pixies and mushrooms”, but isolated from the marketing, I love how it smells. That being said, it fits perfectly in the Nasomatto lineup to me. I’ve tried them all except china white, nudo, and nudiflorum. This profile doesnt smell like anything else except a Gualtieri fragrance. Does it maybe have notes similar to other Gualtieri fragrances? Sure…I feel the complaints about certain notes being similar to other Nasomatto’s or Orto parisi’s is kinda like complaining about Pharrell’s beats all having his signature 4 beat intro…Every time Gualtieri uses patchouli it’s unfair to say it’s lackluster just because another fragrance of his has patchouli in it…altogether this is a new profile and it’s refreshing with all the sameness in fragrances these days… It starts bright but dense with what seems to be a bitter orange combo with something green, maybe moss/patchouli/something camphorous underneath. This then starts to transition to a combo of ylang, other florals (maybe Jasmine), and what comes off lactonic and nutty with the greenness of the opening still in the background…this is the part I like the most, the part that keeps me smelling wherever I sprayed it…and it lasts for quite a while, an hour or 2…this stage starts to sweeten slightly and moves into a spiced, vanillic, nutty, dry down that goes on and on…please remember, this is a Gualtieri so my breakdown omits the indescribable complexities at each phase. This fragrance isn’t sharp green to me…it comes off round and smooth throughout. It’s not fougere or old school masculine green…it’s just Micodelirio…it’s better suited for fall/winter/early spring, cool weather. The dry down would be too much in high heat."

Fragrantica: "I think there is a lot to enjoy about Micodelirio. There is the ever-present earth/soil and a freshness that resembles a pine or even a mint to my nose, like a forest walk after rain. But the fragrance does not settle for just petrichor, that would be too boring for something named after a mushroom-induced delirium. The smell has herbal notes that vaguely remind me of Black Afgano (I get artemisia and lavender) and a very earthy sweetness that resembles a sugar beet to me - a particularly nostalgic scent for yours truly. It truly feels like an "enchanted forest walk" in the opening and dries down into a very comforting, ambery sweetness to me. I do get the mushroom note, but like I read somewhere else, the fragrance feels more like the idea of a mushroom than a mushroom scent. I think the base is a bit too warm and might get cloying in hot summers, but the scent seems versatile otherwise. It feels like it radiates a lot less strongly than Alessandro's typical offerings, but lasts for quite a long time to me. I will definitely be wearing it more often."

Fragrantica: "I just tried Micodelirio in a perfume shop in Barcelona. Damp earth, moss, petrichor-like and then... earthy patchouli. Loved it. Like walking in an old mossy forest after the rain. No evolution; beast mode sillage, projection and durability. I'll get my bottle. The cap is cool."

Fragrantica: "Okay, let's go... Microdelirio is Nasomatto's latest creation, presented as part of the brand's artistic project. According to the house itself, the fragrance is born from a "natural vital delirium," evoking a pulsating, wild, and constantly transforming ecosystem. On the nose, the experience is surprisingly realistic. For someone in Europe like me... where everything passes right under my nose first, Microdelirio delivers an authentic impression of damp soil, almost like a forest after the rain. There's a striking earthy accord, but without falling into the excess of wet earth or heavy woods. The highlight is the combination of dry and elegant cedar with organic nuances reminiscent of fresh mushrooms and champignons. This facet creates a dark, natural, and sophisticated atmosphere at the same time. There's a romantic and sensual side hidden beneath this vegetal layer, but it's a discreet, introspective sensuality, far from conventional seductive perfumes. It's a serious, austere, and contemplative fragrance. The scent of soil is ever-present, firm and realistic, accompanied by dry woods and notes reminiscent of a shaded garden, covered in moss and subterranean life. Those who appreciate perfumes inspired by nature, ancient gardens, humid forests, and refined earthy accords will likely find a fascinating creation here."

Fragrantica: "I’m totally onboard with the psychedelic mushroom idea here. First blast is wet and mouldy, some people say basement but I’m on team forest floor. Realistic and maybe a bit challenging. Then it suddenly transports you into a world of colour. I detect a fresh and bitter beetroot-like note (one of the few similarities to Risvelium). Purple was the perfect colour for the packaging. It shapeshifts back and forth for a few hours like the wiggly visuals of a mushroom trip, sometimes back in the forest and sometimes hallucinating. The drydown has a chocolate sweetness like Pardon and lasts a surprisingly long time. Another reviewer detected tonka bean, which I almost regret reading because it concretised something that was really mysterious and magical to me before. I really like this one. Where Risvelium is a big blast of psychedelic sunlight in your face, Micodelirio is the grounded, earthy embrace of the forest gnomes."

Fragrantica: "Decay. At first, a dappled green-brown moss invites you into the forest floor. After some time it buckles and invites you to its bed of rotted wood, so tender it would turn to dust under a human hand. This blooms into a mushroom that can only be called dank. It is humid and dense like mold, truly remarkable. At once, the atmosphere is focused while so blurred. The harder you look at this mushroom the worse your thrall. Micodelirio is a psychedelic masterpiece without relying on any of the scent tropes of incense, sage, or palo santo. This fragrance will not be enjoyed by most people. Evocative, never performative. Attendant at the perfume counter offered me the only tiny promotional sample the store had while they wait to receive a shipment of full bottles to sell. Highly anticipated this scent and the dry-down was worth the wait. If you can try this, do it. Allow yourself to be surprised (submerged). The promotional video for this scent captures it perfectly."
