Sayat Nova vs Pardon

Sayat Nova Attar is well-regarded by the community as a quality introduction to the attar format, offering impressive longevity and a pleasant scent without the headache-inducing qualities of some sprays. However, users note its projection is more intimate than traditional sprays, making it better suited for personal wear rather than performance-focused fragrance lovers.

Nasomatto Pardon is generally well-regarded by the r/fragrance community as a unique, sophisticated fragrance with an impressive patchouli note and excellent longevity. While most praise its creamy, classy drydown and mysterious character, some find the boozy opening polarizing and the chocolate note less prominent than advertised. It's considered more niche and complex than mainstream alternatives like Baccarat Rouge 540.
