Baronda is the perfume of hedonistic pleasures, of throwing caution to the wind, of no longer giving a f**k. Whisky and honey are the opening act here, loosening inhibitions and smoothing the way for a long cruise through cinnamon, immortelle, vanilla and resinous amber.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The conversation has grown less guarded, and a little whisky remains in the glass. Baraonda fits that unhurried, late-evening register: honeyed warmth and smoky woods suggest indulgence without turning sugary, while cinnamon gives the softness a dry, spirited edge.
How to wear
The boozy, resinous warmth makes this a natural choice for cooler weather. Start with one spray on the torso or neck and assess before adding more; restrained application lets the whisky-like opening lead into the softer amber and vanilla. In warm rooms, keep the dose especially light.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to whisky-like accords, smoky woods and amber with a honeyed sweetness. Baraonda suits a taste for tactile, indulgent fragrances where spice and resin balance the gourmand elements, rather than crisp freshness or bright florals.

The nose
Alessandro Gualtieri is known for unconventional, textural fragrances that favour a complete sensory impression over a neatly explained note pyramid. His work for Nasomatto, including Black Afgano and Blamage, reflects an independent approach to perfumery, with room for density, friction and surprise. In Baraonda, that sensibility turns toward whisky and the physical sensation of tasting alcohol.
Nasomatto’s story
Nasomatto is Alessandro Gualtieri’s project of creative independence, conceived outside the cost constraints and approval structures of industrial perfumery. The house presents fragrance as an experience rather than an ingredient list: concentrated compositions, abstract descriptions and distinctive bottles leave the wearer room to interpret the scent.
Baraonda’s concept
Baraonda grew out of Gualtieri’s encounter with Venedikt Yerofeyev’s Moscow–Petushki, a literary journey steeped in alcohol. The book prompted him to continue Nasomatto beyond his intended ten-fragrance collection. Rather than illustrate the narrative literally, he sought to evoke both the smell of whisky and the sensation of tasting it.
Extra info
Baraonda’s Italian name evokes commotion or chaos. Its standard cap combines cork from Portugal and Italy, echoing the fragrance’s alcoholic associations. The scent was also an Artisan-category finalist in the 2017 Art and Olfaction Awards.
