Nasomatto Pardon is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Alessandro Gualtieri. Pardon opens with Floral Notes and Magnolia, and settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon, and Tonka Bean. Nasomatto's Pardon carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best 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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pardon kicks off with a surprising, almost mentholated floral sharpness, quickly ushering in a rich darkness. Imagine velvety dark chocolate infused with warm cinnamon, underpinned by a deep, earthy oud and soft tonka bean. It evolves into a complex, woody embrace, leaving a sophisticated trail of spiced cocoa and subtle sweetness, all without tipping into gourmand territory.
