{"product_id":"baraonda","title":"Baraonda","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlessandro Gualtieri works on his own terms at Nasomatto, releasing small 30ml extraits without a traditional note pyramid. \u003cstrong\u003eBaraonda\u003c\/strong\u003e, from 2016, is the one many people call his best. It is a \u003cstrong\u003ewhisky fragrance\u003c\/strong\u003e: a realistic malty spirit over woods, rose and his signature musk. Instead of top, heart and base notes, the house gives a single set of six, and the scent moves like a drink warming in the glass. Aromatica carries the Nasomatto Baraonda decant in Bangladesh in 3ml and 5ml, a sensible way into an expensive extrait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrance Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not published in tiers by the house\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not published in tiers by the house\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not published in tiers by the house\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"af-source\"\u003eNasomatto lists notes as one set: whiskey, woody notes, ambrette, ambroxan, rose and musk.

Reviewers describe it as one of the most realistic whisky notes in perfumery. There is a honeyed sweetness to it from the start, and some pick up a faint minty lift in the first minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs it settles, \u003cstrong\u003erose and woods\u003c\/strong\u003e come forward, and the whisky starts to feel like an oak barrel rather than a drink. The rose is honeyed and soft, sitting inside the booze instead of on top of it. Ambrette adds a musky, slightly fruity warmth. This middle stage is where most admirers fall for it, as the spirit and the flower blend into one smooth shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drydown is \u003cstrong\u003ewoods, ambroxan and musk\u003c\/strong\u003e, Gualtieri's recognisable skin-like finish. It is slightly sweet, boozy and woody, and quieter than the opening. A few reviewers feel the base is the weakest part and wish it held more of the early whisky. Others describe the end as a warm woody skin scent with a lingering trace of the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the notes are not split into tiers, the best way to read Baraonda is as one accord that shifts over time: spirit first, then rose and oak, then musk and wood. It is dense and rich, and its character is strong from the first spray, which is typical of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaraonda is a \u003cstrong\u003ecool-weather, evening\u003c\/strong\u003e scent. Its whisky and wood feel right on winter nights, at dinners, and on quiet nights out. It is not an office scent, since the boozy opening reads clearly as spirit. In Dhaka's warmer months, save it for air-conditioned evenings.
