What do reviewers say about Realist and Baraonda?
Realist doesn't dilute itself to be liked. The citrus opening is confrontational, yuzu and bergamot that smell like clean air, not perfume. The black tea drydown rewards the wearer's patience.Realist
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
