Baroon

Conclusion

Baroon is a solid choice for the guy who wants a simple, clean, and inoffensive fragrance for everyday wear. He works a standard 9-to-5, hits the gym a few times a week, and values practicality. He isn't overly concerned with making a bold statement, but still wants to smell put-together. It's a grab-and-go scent for those who prioritize ease and convenience.

How it Smells

Baroon kicks off with a crisp apple note, though it leans more towards green apple jolly rancher than a natural orchard scent. The ginger is dialed back, creating a subtle warmth, while the bergamot adds a fleeting citrusy brightness. As it settles, the sage emerges, blending with a slightly medicinal juniper and a clean, slightly soapy geranium. This heart phase is where it deviates most from the inspiration, becoming less sharp and more rounded. The drydown is dominated by a noticeable amberwood note, which can come off as a bit scratchy. A hint of tonka adds a touch of sweetness, balanced by a cedar note that prevents it from becoming cloying. There's a synthetic woody aspect here that lingers.

The Performance Stats

I get about 5-6 hours of wear with Baroon. The projection is moderate, staying within arm's length for the first couple of hours before settling closer to the skin. I wore this during a casual Friday at the office and then while running errands on the weekend. It performs adequately in both situations, but I wouldn't rely on it for a big night out.
