Pardon』にはもっと期待していた。『Pardon』にまつわる賞賛のせいもあるが、他の『Nasomatto』からの素晴らしい創造性と食材の質が、この作品にも受け継がれていることを期待していたのだ。残念ながら、私は少しがっかりしてしまった。Pardonのオープニングは、ドライで埃っぽく、やや動物的なウードの香り。ほのかにマグノリアと他のフローラルが香るが、非常に微妙で、スパイシーなシナモンのタッチもわずかにある。この香りのプロフィールは、香りの寿命の間、ずっと直線的なままだ。個人的には、チョコレートがもっと際立つことを期待していたのだが、ほとんど存在せず、ドライでシンプルなウードが残るだけだ。

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.
