Description

Baraonda by Nasomatto is an intoxicating and complex extrait de parfum, launched in 2016, that aims to evoke a raw taste sensation. It opens with a vivid, realistic boozy whiskey accord, reminiscent of sherry cask-aged spirits, often accompanied by dried fruits and a hint of sweetness. As it develops, musky rose and subtle woody undertones emerge, leading into a smoky, resinous heart with nuances of spices. The fragrance ultimately settles into a warm, woody-ambery base, often described as cozy and long-lasting. Perfumer: Alessandro Gualtieri

About NASOMATTO

Nasomatto is an experimental niche perfume brand founded in 2007 by Italian perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, known as 'The Nose,' who crafts bold, provocative extrait de parfums like Black Afgano and Blamage without revealing full ingredient lists, instead describing their emotional effects such as hysteria or fleeting happiness. Drawing from his travels to Oman, India, and Saudi Arabia, and a philosophy of losing control to intuition, the brand features artistic square bottles with unique caps symbolizing each scent's essence. Its signature style blurs gender lines, targets risk-takers, and pushes perfumery boundaries as an olfactory art project.

Community Insights

Reviewers consistently praise Baraonda for its realistic and potent boozy whiskey accord, often noting its warmth and suitability for cooler weather. It's frequently described as a sophisticated and long-lasting scent that creates an intimate yet present aura.

Pros

Performance excellence: Many find Baraonda to be potent and long-lasting, with a strong opening that settles into a noticeable, skin-warm amber-musk finish that can be perceived for many hours.

Versatile appeal: It is widely considered ideal for cold weather, autumn, winter nights, and cooler spring evenings, making it perfect for evenings out, dinners, bars, and lounges.

Quality composition: Reviewers highlight its complex and delicately balanced composition, particularly the sophisticated and realistic whiskey accord, blended with dried fruits, warm amber, and a subtle rose.

Cons

Situational drawback: While generally well-received, its distinct boozy and warm character might not appeal to those who prefer lighter, fresher, or more traditionally floral fragrances, making it less versatile for warm weather or formal daytime settings.
