Musk Aoud לעומת Pardon

The community consensus warns against blind buying Roja Dove fragrances due to their premium pricing, noting that performance and scent profile often don't justify the cost compared to more affordable alternatives like Bleu de Chanel. Multiple users recommend purchasing samples first from Roja's website before committing to a full bottle purchase.

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.
