    Real talk

    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
    Pine people call it too sweet. Dessert people call it too woody. That's the whole point. Ponderosa is for someone who doesn't choose sides, or the tree that wouldn't either.Ponderosa
