Which Should You Buy?
Pardon isn't for everyone. Some call it a masterpiece of dark elegance, others a tricky patchouli bomb. Give it a whirl if you fancy a uniquely sophisticated, masculine scent, but definitely don't blind buy. This one's an acquired taste.
This is a bold, divisive beast of a fragrance. Absolutely not a safe blind buy, but for those who love it, No Apologies offers beast-mode performance and a unique chocolate-oud combination that commands attention. Expect it to grow on you, or simply not at all.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its deep, rich accords and potent sillage make it unsuitable for the office, where it could easily overwhelm. However, it's a stellar choice for dates and formal events, projecting an air of masculine elegance and garnering compliments. Casual wear in colder months is possible, but its intensity limits versatility.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This powerful, long-lasting scent with strong sillage is too intense for office wear, as noted by users who mention its 'mushroom cloud' projection. It's perfectly suited for dates and formal events, especially in colder weather, where its luxurious oud and chocolate notes can shine without overwhelming a casual setting.
