The review

Baraonda scores 6.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Baraonda.

Zoha Aroma sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Baraonda's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $108 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Baraonda — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Zoha Aroma publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Nasomatto Baraonda is whiskey and cognac at first, tobacco and honey at its heart and woods and balsams at the end. Zoha Aroma set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • whiskey
  • cognac

Heart

  • tobacco
  • honey

Base

  • woods
  • balsams
Spilled whisky and warm tobacco in a wood-panelled bar, long after everyone should have left.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 3 twins of Nasomatto Baraonda we can price, Baraonda is number 2 on price per 100ml.

  1. 01 Bujairami Distilled Chaos $39/100ml
  2. 02 Zoha Aroma Baraonda $108/100ml
  3. 03 Alexandria Fragrances The God Father $110/100ml
