Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pardon Extrait
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.

Our Verdict - No Apologies EDP
No Apologies chases Nasomatto's cult Pardon - dark chocolate and oud over sandalwood, tonka bean and amber. Reviewers rate the similarity at 97-98%, with the Alexandria version delivering even more projection and longevity than the original extrait.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pardon

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.
