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.
Divisive and mature, this is a love-it-or-hate-it rose. Some find it a photorealistic dream, others a 'car air freshener' or 'old granny' soap. Not for the faint of heart, or those under 50 according to a few.

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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While some find it versatile, its strong, sometimes 'beast mode' projection and mature character make it less suitable for an office. It shines in formal settings due to its elegance, and can be worn casually if you prefer a noticeable scent.
