"The fragrance aims to evoke the persuasion of utmost masculine elegance and charm." The Nose.
Nasomatto's Pardon takes a dark, woodsy richness and nudges it — ever-so-gently — into a surprisingly softer direction for the Italian niche line.
As seems fitting with the name's connotations of polite society and gentility, Pardon tones down the line's characteristic hard-core intensity. Unlike the brute, narcotic beauty of Black Afgano or the forward wildness of Duro, Pardon wants to persuade you of its masculine elegance and charm, reverberating creating a fragrance at once seductive and refined. Pardon, like the solarized image of the dandy in its ads, manages to evoke vintage while smelling supremely modern.
Magnolia, Flowers, Dark Chocolate, Tonka Bean, Cinnamon, Agarwood (Oud) and Sandalwood.
