The review

Strong contender. That is where Pardon lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Pardon.

Palermo Perfumes 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 $23 it costs 90% less than Pardon.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes 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

What it is chasing: nutmeg up top, orris and dark chocolate in the middle, vetiver and woods underneath — the shape of Nasomatto Pardon.

Top

  • nutmeg

Heart

  • orris
  • dark chocolate

Base

  • vetiver
  • woods
Bitter chocolate and earthy orris over dry vetiver — masculine without ever raising its voice.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
