Housed in a clear glass bottle with a cork-textured cap, it is highly concentrated and extremely strong, making it best suited for cold weather and evening wear rather than professional settings.","url":"https://etal-australia.com/products/baraonda","brand":"NASOMATTO","condition":"new","product_category":"Home > BARAONDA","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0791/1933/products/4aa2d996b09e4fbfc9953cd98861f55e34502c31.jpg?v=1612389304","additional_image_urls":[],"images":[{"id":"img-1785458712778-0","url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0791/1933/products/4aa2d996b09e4fbfc9953cd98861f55e34502c31.jpg?v=1612389304","width":2362,"height":3543,"alt_text":"BARAONDA product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio-style product shot with a plain white background, centered vertical composition, even diffuse lighting and minimal shadows;
