PARDON by Nasomatto, presented in a 30 ml Extrait concentration, is a masculine fragrance launched in 2011 that offers an opulent, enveloping interpretation of the oriental woody family. Created by Alessandro Gualtieri, it is built around refined contrasts: a soft floral opening, a dark and textured heart, and a polished base shaped by precious woods.
The fragrance opens with magnolia and floral notes, bringing a sense of brightness and smoothness to the composition. This introduction feels elegant and controlled, adding a velvety touch before the scent deepens into richer territory. At the heart, dark chocolate creates depth and shadow, while tonka bean adds warmth and a gently rounded sweetness. Cinnamon introduces a spiced accent that sharpens the structure and gives the composition a more sensual rhythm.
In the base, agarwood (oud) and sandalwood anchor the fragrance with richness and poise. Oud lends a mysterious, dense and distinctive presence, while sandalwood softens the darker facets with a creamy woody finish. Together, they create a sophisticated foundation that feels substantial and highly composed, giving PARDON its unmistakable character.
The overall effect is luxurious and self-assured, balancing floral refinement, gourmand richness, spice and wood in a way that feels both classic and modern. PARDON is a fragrance for those drawn to perfumes with identity and artistic direction, where every note contributes to a more complete sensory statement. It stands as a compact yet expressive olfactory signature, shaped with precision and a strong sense of style.
