Nasomatto Pardon est généralement bien accueilli par la communauté r/fragrance comme un parfum unique et sophistiqué avec une note de patchouli impressionnante et une excellente tenue. Bien que la plupart louent sa base crémeuse et élégante ainsi que son caractère mystérieux, certains trouvent l'ouverture alcoolisée polarisante et la note de chocolat moins prononcée que promis. Il est considéré comme plus niche et complexe que des alternatives grand public comme Baccarat Rouge 540.
