by Nasomatto
Baraonda by Nasomatto is a highly distinctive, boozy fragrance centered around a photorealistic whiskey accord. The opening is strong and immediately recognizable, delivering a rich, slightly sweet, and aromatic whiskey note reminiscent of oak-aged spirits. Over time, this intensifies into a deep, warm composition where the woodiness becomes more prominent, balanced by a subtle, powdery rose that adds softness and depth without becoming floral or feminine. The musk and ambroxan create a hazy, diffusive quality that enhances projection and longevity, resulting in a long-lasting, moderately strong sillage. The fragrance evolves into a tender, intimate, and slightly sweet amber-woody base with faint smoky and caramelized notes, giving it a velvety, sleep-with-the-objects kind of sensuality rather than a blatant alcohol shock. It is not synthetic or gourmand—it feels organic, like dried fruit and wood in a damp cellar. This creates an illusion of cocaine-like prominence, especially on warm skin, but it's more about continuous warmth than sharpness.
