By the editors · 2 min read**Baraonda** opens with whiskey-soaked wood that feels more like a spill than a spritz—raw oak, amber resin, and something faintly medicinal colliding in a hot, boozy haze. The effect is immediate and unapologetic, less composed fragrance than olfactory statement. Within minutes, the alcohol burn softens into sticky sweetness, revealing caramelized vanilla and a dusty, almost smoky muskiness beneath.
As it settles, Baraonda becomes warmer and more ambiguous, hovering between gourmand comfort and animalic warmth. The wood remains present but loses its sharp edges, folding into skin with surprising tenacity.
This is Nasomatto at its most uncompromising—a fragrance for those who prefer their scents unpolished and confrontational. It demands commitment and reads best in cold weather or dimly lit rooms where subtlety isn't the goal.
