What do reviewers say about Raku and Baraonda?
It won't announce itself across a room. That's the point. Raku is built for the kind of presence that doesn't require the whole room to notice, just the space immediately around you.Raku
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
