The review
On paper, No Apologies is a reasonable bet if you want Pardon for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Pardon's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 50% less than Pardon — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on nutmeg, turns to orris and dark chocolate, and settles into vetiver and woods. That is the brief No Apologies is working from.
Top
- nutmeg
Heart
- orris
- dark chocolate
Base
- vetiver
- woods
Bitter chocolate and earthy orris over dry vetiver — masculine without ever raising its voice.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 4 twins of Nasomatto Pardon we can price, No Apologies is the cheapest per 100ml.
