Baraonda is a spirit in a perfume bottle. This is a quest to evoke the powerful and mighty whisper of an olfactory stirring by rejoining everything and nothing. The fragrance was inspired by Venedikt Yerofeyev’s book “Moscow-Petushki” and it captures the essence of the journey through Moscow stations. It is an ethylic poem that has no brakes nor limits, an ode to all types of alcohol and the clouded aftermaths.
Baraonda is a sensory hurricane that surrounds one with a mixture of hot and aromatic notes, the scent of old barrels, with a fruity aftertaste. A delicate and costly creation that blends the taste and the smell of a single malt whiskey, lucid dreaming, and reality, personal actions, and reactions. In this perfume, The Nose used pure alcohol and only high-quality natural ingredients to encourage the raw taste sensation. The Nose wanted to capture the undeniable connection between the sense of smell and the sense of taste. We cannot feel the taste without smelling. Through the story of Yerofeyev, The Nose touches the subject of everything and nothing. In the book, the main character has nothing to lose, he is broke, lives in terrible conditions, and his only joy is drinking alcohol. While drinking all different kinds of alcohol, he feels that he has everything, his Nothing becomes his Everything.
The Cap of The Bottle is made of Portuguese and Italian corks, a reference to bottling elements of alcoholic beverages. The colour of Baraonda perfume liquid is a reminiscent of liquor. Motivated by everything Moscow and Russian Red, the package is a message on its own.
