As much as I adore the refined elegance of Bleu de Chanel, it does have a downside. The longevity of the fragrance is not as impressive as I would like it to be. I find myself needing to reapply the scent throughout the day to maintain the initial burst of freshness. Despite this, I still find the fragrance to be a timeless classic, much like a cherished novel that you can't put down. The warm and woody base notes are truly captivating and remind me of the richness of a well-written character. Overall, I would recommend this fragrance, but be prepared to carry it with you for a quick touch-up.

First of all, the bottle is a trip. It looks like a lovechild of a Magic 8-Ball and one of those fancy oil lamps that your grandma used to have. But hey, let's not judge a fragrance by its bottle.

The scent is actually pretty solid. It's got a fresh, citrusy vibe with some spicy notes thrown in. It's not gonna blow your mind, but it's definitely not gonna stink up the joint either. The longevity is decent, so you can rock it all day without having to reapply.

The fresh and zesty opening always wakes me up, like a bucket of ice water on a Monday morning, and as the fragrance develops, the herbal and aromatic notes add a sophisticated touch that makes me feel like a cultured gentleman.

Let's not forget the warm and spicy base notes of tobacco and cedarwood. It's like getting a warm hug from an old friend who just came back from a trip to the Mediterranean. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Isn't this fragrance from 1994? That's practically ancient in fragrance years!" But don't let its age fool you - this classic scent is still going strong and can hold its own against the new kids on the block.

Nassomatto Pardon is a fragrance that demands attention, just like a protagonist entering a room in slow motion with a powerful score in the background. The opening notes are a blend of spicy and floral, with hints of cinnamon, clove, and rose. As the fragrance develops, the smoky and woody notes start to emerge, adding depth and complexity to the scent. The overall aroma is warm, rich, and luxurious. The longevity and projection of the fragrance are also impressive, with the scent lasting for several hours and the projection being just right - not too overpowering, but still noticeable. While this fragrance is versatile, it may be more suitable for formal or evening wear, not the best choice for everyday use

The opening notes reminded me of Dark Temptation, the dry down is what sets this fragrance apart for me. It's a woody vanilla scent with a soda-like fizziness that is one of the best vanilla fragrances I've tried on my sampling journey. The scent features amber and vanilla notes throughout, making it a great choice for colder weather. It’s a solid choice, especially if you can find it at a discount.
