A softer version of Psychédélique
I actually like the scent but it is so similar to the Jovoy Psychédélique that I already have a full bottle (to my nose). Except Psychédélique has very strong patchouli especially the opening and perform better. They both have the dominant dark chocolate vibe (anyone else feel the same way?). It is strange that Pardon doesn’t perform well on my skin while another one from Nasomatto (Baraonda) perform really well on me, which I just got a FB of it. I know Nasomatto is a performance house but this one only last only 6-7 hours on me with 8 sprays. I know it is still not bad but Psychédélique easily last 10-12 hours on me so no point for me to get a FB. It’s really strange and I think it’s the notes and chemical in this particular one just don’t react well with my skin chemistry.

Refined & classy patchouli
Pardon is primarily a patchouli fragrance and a good one at that. Starts out woody but a bit fresher. On the dry down, it becomes somewhat musty or damp. Very slightly dirty, making it masculine. Didn't get any chocolate-patchouli. Performance is quite good. Got a good 9 or so hours out of it with pretty good projection the first two hours.

As a possible addition to my collection, I'm not totally convinced with Pardon. My favorite patchouli at this point is Mazzolari's Lui which is very dirty and very masculine. For the times when I want something cleaner and more subdued, I think Brioni's EdP Essentiel wins over Pardon. Essentiel is also half the price of Pardon. However, I could definitely enjoy Pardon for the times I need to satisfy that refined patchouli itch.

Modern masculinity
Versatile perfume for men. Sandalwood, patchouli, tonka bean base. But let's take it from rhe start. The perfume opens with flowers and magnolia and a rather dirty oud and this opening is very impressive and doesn't remind you of anything you have smelled before. Of course as a proper fragrance opening it wears out and in the sillage course you get a chocolatey patchouli with cinammon which embrace lush sandal wood and tonka bean. Oud now gets softer and sweeter. I find it superb. I think Black Afgano lovers will love Pardon as these two fragrances are fragrances about and around oud. Black Afgano absolutely woodsy and very green and Pardon darker and more mysterious but softer and not smokey. In a manner of speaking Black Afgano is dry and green and smokey oud that doesn't really change much except in the very end after 10 hours it gets a little bit sweeter. Pardon is dense and rich and sweet but not too sweet .Pardon is like an a very noble Black Afgano that ends with chocolatey patchouli and has a very interesting sillage where the three parts of the perfume pyramid are clearly defined and perceived. The tonka bean is beautifully handled not too exaggerated. If you like Black Afgano but only wear it on special occasion you will adore Pardon for any time of the day and any occasion.

A patchouli monster
I still remember the smell of the wet earth of the forest, after a short summer rain.
The same impact has Pardon on me, it smell strong, earthy and powerful.

It could be a cousin of Jovoy, but for sure it is done nicely and with a punch, I would not reccomend it as a blind buy or for someone who just starts with the perfume world, it is that special.

I like more Baraonda, but this is nothing to say about the high quality of the Pardon, thank you for watching.

The best one from Nasomatto
Nasomatto Pardon takes the best from the oud and patchouli worlds and combines it into one fragrance, and what a fragrance it is. Besides Tom Ford Oud Wood, it is the only other fragrance in my collection that tackles this popular woody note. As with everything, always sample a product before deciding to buy it, but if you ask me, Pardon is one of the best niche fragrances of all time.

TOP NOTES
Pardon by Nasomatto opens up with top notes of magnolia with undertones of citruses, and medicinal oud in a vein of Yves Saint Laurent M7 that remains present until the fragrance fades away from the skin. What I also like about this scent, in general, is how patchouli is evident from start to end, and what’s even better, this patchouli actually feels like it’s made out of natural raw oils, unlike oud which is clearly an accord here.

HEART NOTES
With the florals and citruses fading away, the perfume enters the heart notes and welcomes the wearer with delicious notes of chocolate, cinnamon backed up with hints of quality tonka beans that smell nutty and with hints of marzipan. At this stage, Pardon also kinda reminds me of pieces of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid which is in my personal opinion the best feminine fragrance of all time.

BASE NOTES
In the dry down which takes ages to reach, we are left with a detectable combination of oud, patchouli, soft spices, dusty vanilla, and sandalwood. This is the most pleasant phase of perfume worth waiting out if you found it challenging through the opening and middle stages.
---
OVERALL
Pardon is an experience and a journey that should be done over time to get a full picture and a grasp of what it really is. It tells a story of beauty and masterful execution of one talented perfumer that strays away from conventional perfume traditions by offering us something new and exciting.

Earthy, woody, spicy patchouli with light floral notes; the woody and slightly creamy base is really divine.

Oud wood start and a mellow-creamy chocolate evolution with that oud vibe on the back. Nice, suede, silk, elegant, masculine.

Quintessential Gualtieri: merge Megamare with Black Afgano (possibly his masterpieces) and you get this. Beautiful, but not for everyone.

Initially bright spicy-floral, this slightly smoky, yet spicy/sweet dry earthy-woody Fall fragrance settles to a creamy leathery-woody base.
