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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Montale Intense Cafe - a coffee fragrance led by Floral Notes, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

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
The coffee character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its coffee, floral signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
