Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noire Pardon For Men
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Unforgivable Black - a aromatic fragrance led by Bergamot, Pear, Tangerine, with citrus depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Unforgivable Black
Unforgivable Black is a boozy, citrus-heavy fragrance that swings between a freshie and a heavy night scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans praising its potency and boozy uniqueness, while others find it too intense or uninspired. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Noire Pardon For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the aromatic signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.

Unforgivable Black

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its strong projection and longevity, combined with a heavy, boozy rum note, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its intensity and unique character are perfect for evening dates or more casual, confident statements, though too heavy for sport.
