Nasomatto Baraonda is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Alessandro Gualtieri. Baraonda opens with Whisky, settles into a heart of Rose and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambroxan. Nasomatto's Baraonda carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This isn't just a booze-tinged scent; it's a full-on, richly textured whiskey experience, divisive for some, but a masterpiece for others. It commands attention and oozes sophistication, making it a firm favourite for those who want to stand out.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and intense boozy, woody character make it a no-go for the office, risking offence rather than intrigue. It shines on date nights and formal events, creating an alluring and memorable impression. For casual wear, it's best reserved for cooler evenings when its warmth can truly be appreciated without being overwhelming.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Baraonda kicks off with an unapologetically boozy hit of whisky, quickly mellowing into smooth, aged woody notes. A subtle yet distinct rose accord weaves through the composition, adding a jammy sweetness and elegant softness to the rich, warm, and musky backdrop. It dries to a comforting blend of caramelised amber and soft woods, with an ever-present boozy warmth.
