I love this perfume from start to finish, what I don’t like is the longevity, which is very delicate on my skin in several occasions
Today I tried possibly the most hyped perfume in history alongside Aventus. The truth is, it’s a good scent, nothing out of this world as they say. Why? Scarcity in longevity and sillage; it disappears on my skin after three hours. 30 ml for almost $200 and nothing left after four hours? I think it’s terrible. Don’t buy blindly, test on skin. Maybe it’s the pH, but I’m not the only one. A real shame
A pheromonal fragrance that awakens the animal side, literally, you get close enough to sniff it. Imagine how amazing it is. It’s not for schoolgirls in diapers, it’s for mature females who see you as prey and want to mate. I only have enough for a 10 ml decant and I paid a fortune during quarantine, but the little taste pays off. It could be unisex; on a girl, it smells very potent. 11/10, but 30 ml at $450 is a mess. It’s made to seduce with sandalwood, cinnamon, and magnolia
Smells great, nice opening for 5 minutes, then it drops… What a pity that a revered fragrance is hurt by the damn reformulations that make it last only a couple of hours without projection, then skin scent. Too little for something that costs more than 4,000 euros per liter. Message to Nasomatto: keep it up, with more reformulations you’re finishing off your best work. For the price, it’s not worth it; either you’re very spoiled or it’s a rip-off
Undoubtedly impressive, but on my skin, aside from the opening, it stays timid with almost zero projection. The scent is spectacular; I quickly detect the chocolate and magnolia, that duo persists until the end. It’s a masterpiece that makes me want to cry because of how little it lasts and projects, and adding the price… makes me want to cry even more because I like it and don’t want to spend on something so ethereal. Cheers
In my opinion, it’s the most elegant fragrance from Nasomatto, perfect for galas or suits, and as hours pass, it becomes suitable for semi-formal wear. It’s never linear; at 30 minutes it turns into a whirlwind of sexy notes. Those transitions make Pardon a unique experience. The proposal is sensual and welcoming, suggestive and striking. Recommended for autumn and winter. In one word: infallible
A big applause for the review below. I hate how niche brands put out such skimpy packaging for an arm and a leg just for ‘image’. Spending almost $200 to see meager 30 ml is an insult. YouTubers not questioning that value/price is stupid. 30 ml is an abuse, and I doubt the performance is beastly for that price
Solid performance on my skin, just like the Black Afgano 2016 batch: 4 sprays and you’re good to go, no need to overdo it. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it different? Also. Everyone decides if it’s worth it, but if you look around, you can find it for 90 euros. Nothing to sneeze at for the sensations it offers, especially compared to designer brands selling water for 100 euros. Cheers
Reminded me a lot of LIDGE, but with less patchouli (which I like) and more woody. The scent is abstract, nothing realistic or sharp, but it has presence and sensuality; it’s smelled and projected well. Performance is good, but 4 euros per ml? I feel like I’m getting scammed or funding boat parties and cocaine. What a shame
Dark chocolate with sandalwood, warm and spicy over a sweet base. Not my favorite Nasomatto because it lacks that transgressive, creative spark of their other releases, but it’s high quality, elegant, and addictive. The price is outrageous: $150 for 30 ml. Rating: 4/5
First day trying it, so far I don’t feel it as potent, but wow, it is a very rich scent. I’ll keep trying it for a few days to see how it goes for me.
I have a natural patchouli essence (brand Just) and I must say that Pardon seems 70% that note and the remaining 30% is carried by exquisite sweet dark chocolate and flowers. I think that 70/30 combination is a masterpiece. I haven’t been wearing fragrances for long, but this seemed the most gourmand to me so far. Undoubtedly, it’s a gala perfume.
It smells incredibly rich, a classic of perfumery perfectly blended. To those complaining about performance: first, you need to understand that not all perfumes need to be loud; this one is perfect for an intimate date. To those complaining about the ‘niche’ price: for me, they’re worth it; honestly, ‘niche’ ones last longer because generally you need fewer sprays. If we start questioning the marketing and the 30ml format, I don’t know, buy yourself a 200ml Invictus and don’t throw the match.
It’s fantastic! It has a lot of similarity with Bentley For Men Intense, but boosted three times, as if Bentley had a toast with rum and smoked woods. On the skin, it’s an aromatic odyssey. I don’t know what else to say, but I won’t say it again. Now I wish it came in more ml for the price, because at this cost, I don’t think I’ll repurchase.
Today I tried Pardon with great enthusiasm. It’s a delicious and very masculine perfume, but I already have Carven Homme and I love it so much that Pardon is about 70% similar to it. If I already have Carven, Pardon isn’t necessary.
I met this fragrance at a store run by a trusted seller; when I tried it for the first time, I liked it, though it wasn’t special. Time passed, and when they gifted me a decant to buy another perfume, that’s when I realized it smelled quite good. I detect something like oud wood mixed with spiced caramelized chocolate and a light spice blend, making it smell very sexy with a subtle floral background that I believe is magnolia, rendering it unisex (slightly) and enigmatic. As it dries down, the chocolate, cinnamon, tonka bean, and sandalwood take the lead, gain strength, and push the oud into the background, though this time it seemed to smell like many unlisted ingredients like patchouli and mint. Important to mention that Alessandro Gualtieri doesn’t reveal the notes, so much is left to imagination. It’s different because I notice how the notes rise and fall as it develops. It’s an extrait, so since I tried it, I knew it would last hours but wouldn’t project or leave a significant trail. With 3 sprays, it’s more than enough. I’ve tested it several times on skin and paper: it smells but doesn’t project, though occasionally there are magnificent strong bursts; on clothes, it projects more and is more distinctly smelled (be careful, the liquid stains). The fragrance earns compliments when people notice it, which makes me feel very comfortable. It’s sexy, but not club sexy, rather romantic. I don’t detect it for hot days, although I used it a lot on a trip to a coastal city and, despite the heat, I could detect it all day and the next day; but I repeat: it’s for cold autumn and winter nights. Whether synthetic or natural, well, it has synthetics, but that’s up to personal preference. 30ml at that price seems high to me, although I managed to get my bottle at a good price here in Mexico. Should I recommend it? Yes, but you should try it before buying; to my taste, it’s the easiest Nasomatto to enjoy along with Silver Musk. Did I buy it? Yes, it evokes a memory I encapsulated in this perfume and I don’t want to stop smelling it. Rating: 8/10.
I was eager to buy my first Nasomatto. I understand that Pardon has a large enough following to catapult it as a niche must-have, but personally, I didn’t find it appealing. It has a patchouli that isn’t listed in the notes and makes it smell old-fashioned. Rich, yes, but that powdery, almost medicinal touch didn’t appeal to me. The chocolate is far from being creamy and gourmand. It also has hints of cinnamon with a slight floral touch. Maybe I’m just not ready for Pardon yet, but I didn’t feel like trying it again. It has very good longevity with a short trail, but enough to be perceived. It’s manly to the core. And what really doesn’t help is the price; that’s why there are other gems out there.
A fragrance recommended by a specialty store in my city. At first, I loved it, but either I’ve gotten used to it or it’s lost its strength, since now I have to apply several sprays to get the presence it used to have with just one. It’s sweet and evolving: it passes through florals, white chocolate, then becomes talc-like and light with vanilla. I see it as somewhat feminine for my taste, though for summer and spring it gives me a sense of joy and well-being. 100% recommended.
Pardon by Nasomatto was one of the first perfumes I became aware of when entering the niche world, but one of the last I’ve tried, and I believe it was worth it for a more refined appreciation. Above all, it’s a patchouli scent that sometimes pairs with a medicinal/woody aspect and other times with a very light sweetness, making this perfume something pleasant and special. I highly value the quality, the subtlety of its evolution, and its originality; that occasional chocolatey note contrasts beautifully with the creamy base without turning bitter or earthy. If there’s oud, it’s very soft, and I do appreciate a floral aspect that refreshes occasionally, but only in the dry-down. I see it as a romantic perfume, one that treats you well and in which you gradually fall under its charms. I don’t see it as difficult, but like any relationship, it takes time to get to know, understand, and enjoy. I like it a lot, I see it as unisex, for cold weather and special occasions. Totally recommended, I think it’s a must-have if you like perfumery and want to take a step further. I would own it, but after Baraonda, which remains my number 1 from the brand. Rating: 8.5/10
We’re stepping away from the mainstream because you can’t navigate Nasomatto there. Pardon is a true example of the distinction between commercial and niche. In the niche world, the proposition is fresh and delivers: a scent that surprises, moves, and is highly enjoyable. Is it standout? Yes. Performance: on my skin, it gives about 2 hours of trail at 1.5 meters before becoming intimate and personal. The only ‘but’ is that, since it’s not a masterpiece nor a beast in performance, it feels so expensive. I agree with FragranceX: the price-to-quantity ratio leaves a lot to be desired.
For me, it’s a chocolatey, woody patchouli. I think it’s perfect for a romantic date. It reminds me of Dior Homme for the lipstick note touch. I love this scent.
Impressive, a masterpiece. My first impression was Gucci Envy, the one I used for years and which is now discontinued. Incredible scent, quality in its composition, and development in full force. It had been a while since a fragrance pleased me so much from the start.
I tried Perdon (authentic) and it wasn’t a beast; as soon as you enter a place, people don’t turn around or ask what you’re wearing. It’s a good perfume that allows for blind buying if you’re looking for something masculine and conquering, and if you like the green, foresty notes of Terre de Hermès (cedar, vetiver not declared), then it’s similar at times. I find it very elegant, recommendable but without magic; it depends on how you wear it: your clothes, attitude, and where…
An innovative and challenging fragrance where all the notes are appreciated: magnolia, bitter chocolate, and sandalwood are the protagonists (the oud is noted as very softened, nothing critical). Ideal for cold climates, but it also holds up well in temperate ones. I notice a licorice touch, I’m not sure if derived from the floral blend.
I’m in love, what a delicious perfume; I put this on and thank God it exists. I perceive it as chocolatey and woody from start to finish; the opening is somewhat medicinal but fades quickly, leaving the most delicious part. I appreciate the performance, though I would have loved it to be a beast a bit more. But it has everything if you like woody scents. That said, it’s very expensive, around 150 USD per ounce 🤯.
Nasomatto Perdon is imposing but not my style. It’s dark, floral, woody, with bitter cacao, wild, and an eminent patchouli. It’s extremely virile, highlighting the physiological and sexual qualities of the classic, mature man, with a Patron-like character. Perhaps that’s why the name: a lordly fragrance, not old but with a Dark, mysterious, and modernized Old School vibe. It’s not bad at all, just not for those under 30. It’s contemporary, avant-garde, opulent, refined, adult, and nocturnal. Wearing it reflects good physical shape, sensuality, good style, wealth, and intelligence. It’s not an easy scent. Its price is a costly luxury that doesn’t do justice to everyone’s wallet. Scent: 9.0. Projection: 3 hours. Longevity: approx. 7 to 8 hours. Recommended for the smell, not the price.
Sorry sets itself apart from other fragrances by the house: it doesn’t play games and reflects what it intends, a man of class and refined manners. It’s deeply woody, with amber molecules, sandalwood, and lots of patchouli. The chocolatey tones are delicious, moving from a dry opening to a sweet, dense development thanks to the vanillins. The listed floral notes only serve to soften a perfume that could be very dry, playing no relevant role in the scent. It’s one of the perfumer’s most balanced creations: not cloying, not oppressive, and not filling the room. Like a well-mannered man, it’s discreet, refined, and elegant. A fragrance of class.
I have a decant and the longevity is scarce, but it’s a good dark perfume.
Tobacco and ginger. Gualtieri doesn’t list the notes, but on his Instagram he graphics his fragrances; in ‘Sorry’ there’s a pipe. It reminds me of Gucci Envy for that spicy, tobacco-laden opening with citrus and a mentholated, bitter afterglow, like a medicinal aura. It doesn’t remind me as much of Guerlain’s L’Instant, which I prefer. Here I sense more sandalwood and oud; it seems they share a base with ‘Duro’. It’s elegant, sober, lordly, and mature. In the dry down, it smells like Davidoff Zino or old 80s fragrances for that tobacco-y part. It also reminds me of Amouage Jubilation. It’s persistent, though I haven’t checked the projection. Aside from personal taste, it’s one of the finest, most sophisticated, and complex ones I’ve tried.
Sorry by Nasomatto smells like dry yet juicy wood, with an oily, thick patchouli that gives it a rich flavor. Although it has a dusty, brown touch, something doesn’t hook me until the end; the opening is more pleasant. I don’t notice much sillage; it’s more earthy, like pure patchouli or essential oil. I don’t get why it’s titled ‘Sorry’—to apologize or to make it smell more animalistic? I detect a bit of nagarmotha, tobacco, and incense, but I wish the wood had more depth. So many praises for the brand, yet it’s not there. I left it. Silent. Join my Telegram channel ‘AVRUMs Perfume Notes’! 💙
Are you L’instant by Guerlain?
Yuck! This fragrance drives me crazy. It’s a sweetness that isn’t the typical vanilla-amber accord, but rather wood with vanilla (realistic), as if you had it in your hand wet with liquor. The oud isn’t challenging; it’s the kind of intoxicating type that recalls patchouli, like Kilian’s Straight to Heaven, but without being so earthy or boozy. Pardon is more elegant, moving through the waters of Amouage’s Jubilation XXV without being as powdery or spicy, a bit cleaner and oilier, with subtle liquor nuances similar to Givenchy’s Reserve Privée, but with more body and quality in the accords. SENSATION: all Nasomatto fragrances perfectly represent the lid on aroma; this one evokes very expensive, refined, luxurious, polished, clean wood with oil, almost like freshly cleaned varnish, without extra flashiness. USAGE: I use it for special occasions like New Year’s Eve dinner, super elegant but versatile enough for a second date, to show off my niche arsenal but also to get compliments. For me, this is the fragrance.
Having tried all of Nasomatto’s fragrances and already owning six in my collection, I can say with certainty that Pardon is by far my favorite, and it has been winning me over with time. For me, it’s a flagship of the niche, with the fundamental characteristics of the genre, positioning itself right in the ‘golden mean’ between rare and pleasant, without falling into excesses. The beauty is that it initiates you masterfully into the taste for oud without sweetening it or covering it up with floral or fruity scents. Here, Gualtieri presents a work of synesthesia that evokes the color of brown chocolate with green effervescence, something inevitably elegant, formal yet pleasant; the scent of a person who hypnotizes you with their words. It smells like wood butter or a varnished board mixed with patchouli oil, sandalwood, and 99% black chocolate. The performance is good; it doesn’t fill rooms (none of Nasomatto’s do, except Baraonda and Nudiflorum), but it lasts over 10 hours with discrete projection. It’s very masculine, mature, for men 35 and up, a personal joy. You’ll get just enough compliments being objective; it’s unlikely to please a casual passerby, but Gualtieri’s niches aren’t made for that. You won’t smell bad like some bold ouds, nor will you throw it on your neck like I’ve heard some YouTubers say. Pardon wraps you in an aura of sophistication that, over time, will make you enjoy the pleasure of wearing it immensely.
Pardon is a notably mature fragrance. The notes that stand out most are oud, chocolate, and flowers. I recommend not buying blindly; this fragrance brings presence, maturity, elegance, seriousness, and above all, the objectivity of a man who knows what he wants.
Two years after applying just 4 sprays and deciding to let it macerate, I finally used it, and what a blast of sensations. The chocolate is now more wrapped in dry wood with a simultaneous sweetness. Indispensable for me.
Pardon by Nasomatto is a masterpiece that combines oud, chocolate, and flowers, and thanks to Gualtieri’s talent, it results in a warmth and addictiveness rarely seen. What stands out most is its particular sweetness, with a touch that sometimes recalls a drugged sensation—details hard to describe but that enchant without needing to understand how. I love it and recommend it, though I insist: test before buying, as it’s not for everyone.
The oud is what I smell most from start to finish, accompanied by patchouli, which can evoke 80s perfumes due to this ingredient, not necessarily the overall scent. The opening is bright and luminous, likely due to the floral and citrus notes, and as it dries, something sweet emerges—not gourmand, but with a balsamic backdrop. In the dry down, it vaguely reminds me of the ozonic quality of Acqua di Sale, giving it a sense of cleanliness within its ‘darkness.’ Surprisingly versatile, it could serve as a signature scent because it’s not invasive, yet it has immense character and elegance. I was also surprised by its utility across a wide range of temperatures, except perhaps above 30°C. Nasomatto/Gualtieri still seems to sit above 90% of perfumes in creativity and timeless beauty. Impressive performance.
What a great perfume; it must be one of my favorite niches. Being complex, it doesn’t appeal to every nose, but it’s incredible how chocolate, patchouli, and oud intertwine into something so harmonious, elegant, and masculine. If I have a negative point, it’s not the scent, which is spectacular, but the 30ml presentation relative to the cost. If they offered larger sizes, it would be a 10/10. One of my favorites.
Undoubtedly one of the best perfumes in recent perfumery. It fuses woody oud with chocolatey patchouli, a heart of magnolia and perhaps chocolate, creating a fantastic, elegant, nocturnal, and mysterious accord. Its texture is dense and creamy, with excellent longevity and sillage, though the last version I tested felt a bit weak. A true classic.
Finally reviewing this gem: direct and polarizing. The cap smells of dry sandalwood with agar, the cinnamon is pure and real without sweetness, and the semi-powdery, bitter chocolate blends with vanilla and flowers for creaminess. Magnolia adds a spicy touch. It’s linear, perhaps powdery at 3-4 hours, very masculine and serious, perfect for temperate or cold climates. High price, but if you can grab it under $120, it’s worth it for its originality. I have the 2024 version; it lasts 8 hours with projection that fades gradually. It’s my go-to formal scent. I love this style; the vintage is a bit sweeter but equally long-lasting. Scent: 9/10, Originality: 10/10, Packaging: 9/10, Price: 8.5/10, Value: 8.5/10, Projection: 8/10, Longevity: 7.5/10, Sillage: 9/10, Masculinity: 9/10. Total: 9/10. Original and sophisticated.
