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 - Forgiven EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Nasomatto - Pardon - a oud fragrance led by Oud, Sandalwood, with woody depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

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.

Forgiven

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the oud, woody profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the oud accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
