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.
Strengths
- Unique and addictive scent with excellent evolution and drydown
- Outstanding patchouli note that is well-balanced and not challenging
- Great longevity and projection (10+ hours on skin)
- Mysterious and elegant character that appeals to most who try it
Weaknesses
- Boozy opening blast can be alarming to some wearers
- Chocolate note is subtle and not always detectable depending on skin chemistry
- Not as versatile as some Nasomatto alternatives like Baraonda
- Can be a chocolate/gourmand bomb for some, making it heavier to wear
Best for
Evening wear and special occasionsCold weather and fall/winter seasonsMature, sophisticated wearersThose who appreciate patchouli-forward fragrances
