No Apologies EDP
Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Patchouli EDT
This is *the* classic patchouli, a rich, dark, and often chocolatey concoction that's either worshipped or reviled. Expect a powerful, earthy statement, not a quiet whisper.

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.
