The review

On paper, Pardon is a reasonable bet if you want Pardon for less.

Oil Perfumery 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 $125 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Pardon — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Value7.3
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery 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 Pardon 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, Pardon is number 2 on price per 100ml.

  1. 01 Alexandria Fragrances No Apologies $110/100ml
  2. 02 Oil Perfumery Pardon $125/100ml
  3. 03 Perfume Parlour Forgiven $159/100ml
