I was surprised about this and Narcotic V. both how comfortable, subtle and sleek these are. Both were the blind buys for me and I was waiting something more edgy and challenging like many of Nasomatto’s perfumes but these are really safe yet not boring in any kind of way. Both are office safe as well since they are not projecting too much, staying quite close to the skin and the lasting power is good anyway. NASOMATTO: Pardon This is really lovely and I think this is quite safe as well if you are not looking for an extraordinary artistic creation like many of Gualtieris. Pardon is special for sure, but this ended up to be really easy going pleasant scent for everyday wear as well. I was waiting a rich chocolate note but it’s not like that so this is not gourmand nor too sweet. It’s inviting and even romantic elegant scent but in the masculine way. Notes which I detect here are some warm spices, gentle oud, dark soft round chocolate note from Pathouli, maybe Tonka but Sandalwood and Vanilla at least in the base embracing the other notes mysteriously yet gently together. There is some florals in the blend for sure but to be honest I can’t name any, not even Mangnolia which is mentioned in several sources. This is a great, well blended masterpiece. Thank you for reading and I would appreciate if you follow me IG @ninamariah_perfumes
Love at first sniff!!! What a fragrance!!! I feel a bit vulgar trying to break it down but here goes. There's definitely patchouli in here and that might account for the chocolatey vibe. I also get a cocktail of sweet balmy incense elements of ladnaum, Myrrhe, opoponax just about everything I love. The Oud is present but not that prominent at first but comes on stronger and stronger in the drydown which is sublime. It's an interesting mixture of Carner cuirs, jubilation 25, black Afgano, Duro, Myrrhe imperial, bois noir but with the patchouli of Hindu grass. This fragrance might even surpass some of my alltime favourites, Pardon is quite simply a revelation, brilliant and something I would wear in a heartbeat. Despite vague similarities across the board, the more you discover about perfume the more you refine 'exactly' what it is that you're into. Pardon delivers it...what it can't do is recapture the enthusiasm or the sense of discovery the first time I smelled certain types of perfume but it has a damn good try. By some strange miracle Pardon is not that strong...yes you heard me right. Of course it's strong, it's a Nasomato perfume for gods sake but in my experience this is not as strong as Black Afgano or Duro. A top top fragrance no doubt and has that signature Nasomatto thing about it.
我对《赦免》寄予了更高的期望--部分原因是对它的赞誉,但我也希望 Nasomatto 其他作品中的精彩创意和优质原料能在这款作品中得以延续。遗憾的是,我有点失望。赦免 "一开瓶就散发出一种干燥、尘土飞扬、略带动物气息的熏香,闻起来单一而平淡。有一丝木兰和其他花香,虽然非常微妙,还有一丝辛辣的肉桂味。在整个香水的使用过程中,这种香味始终保持着直线型。我个人希望巧克力的香味能更加突出,但在我看来它几乎不存在,留给我的只是一种干燥、简单的熏香,感觉平淡无奇,几乎没有深度。
