The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by Nasomatto and crafted by perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, Pardon is a warm spicy fragrance that seamlessly blends oud with chocolate and vanilla, creating an enveloping aroma. The opening notes of magnolia and flowers give way to the rich, dark chocolate and tonka bean, which are underscored by cinnamon and agarwood (oud). This composition invites you into a world where warmth and complexity intertwine, making it a truly immersive experience.
Apply Pardon to pulse points for maximum impact. The rich oud and chocolate notes will develop over time, so allow it to settle on your skin before reapplying if necessary. It pairs well with a jacket or sweater, enhancing its warmth and depth.
