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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Workaholic Extrait
This one's a proper brew - a bold coffee-dominant scent that's divisive but adored by its fans. Expect intensity; Workaholic is anything but subtle.

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.

Workaholic

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its strong projection and rich coffee accord make it too assertive for many office environments, though some wear it. Workaholic shines on dates and casual outings where its warm, gourmand nature can be appreciated. It's too heavy and sweet for formal events and entirely unsuitable for sport.
