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.
