What do reviewers say about Pale Fire and Baraonda?
Pale Fire doesn't try to smell expensive. It smells true. The powdery cocoa and vanilla work as a pair, gourmand enough to comfort, dry enough to keep you interested.Pale Fire
If you want a subtle, polite fragrance, look elsewhere. Baraonda is raw whiskey and soft woods with a rose accent that keeps things interesting. It smells expensive without trying too hard.Baraonda
