NASOMATTO Baraonda Extrait De Parfum

The notes says otherwise, but it smells like boozy dried fruits.
Like others have said, it's caramel, honey-like. But not in a gourmand way, far from it.
It literally smells like a bowl of dried tropical fruits with scotch poured over it.
In a good way off course. This is pure class and intoxicating. My favourite cold weather fragrance.

Absolutely delectable. One of the best things I've ever smelled in my life. Boozy, yes, the first wave hits you with the surprise of just how defined this booziness is. It's so rich, so leathery, woody, creamy, herbal and almost a hint of tropical? I mean this is on the nose Whiskey or Scotch, to me. Now, that first wave of fragrance is just out of this world beautiful for me, makes a full bottle worth a purchase just for the first 15 minutes. But then it doesn't calm down, fade into obscurity or mutate into something else entirely... it mellows into it's musky, amberish notes, maybe some vanilla or something else warm and sweet, it relaxes, kicking its feet up and making itself comfortable on your skin. I have never loved another fragrance from start to finish as much as I love this. Brilliant!

This is a crazy scent, insanely reminiscent of a sweet whiskey, down to a certain wooden cask. It's to the extent that, when driving, I'd get nervous when thinking "what if I get pulled over by that *one* cop for going 75 on 65?"

Because wow, if an officer smells this on me when walking up to the window... There will be QUITE the first olfactory impression. "No sir I swear it's just a fragrance!!" LOL

Combined with more-than-adequate sillage and duration, your scent trail could simply be misinterpreted as that of someone who has simply been drinking a lot. As a result, I'll be reserving my decant for special "nights in," for the foreseeable future... Or call a cab, because I do love going out for some liquor ;)

Love it.

Nasomatto Baraonda may be one of the booziest fragrances; the fragrance opens with a strong and slightly sweet whiskey tone that feels fantastic. The musk and Ambrette have only a light contribution that enhances and sharpens other accords in the fragrance but don’t create a musky accord themselves; the woody tone is soft, aromatic and blends well with the whiskey; the floral tone is faint and it is there just to enhance the overall aroma; finally, the ambroxan boost the projection and makes the blend feel dry. Nasomatto Baraonda is linear, the changes from the opening to the dry-down are close to none. Once Nasomatto Baraonda has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a slightly sweet strong boozy (whiskey) fragrance with some woody notes. The fragrance feels dry, casual, exotic, high-quality, pure, natural, mature, sharp, and very pleasant.

It smells like an affair with Don Draper. A heady whiskey veil, woody masculinity and the vanillary trail of another woman's perfume. A very potent fragrance. Sinfully good.

Edit: My mother-in-law thinks it smells like 'old men who've been smoking cigars'. On the other hand, my boyfriend enjoys the whiskey note.
