''The fragrance aims to evoke the persuasion of utmost masculine elegance and charm.'' The Nose Pardon is a sensual wonder. Simultaneously clean yet sweetly sullied, refined yet irresistible, this modern classic is a deeply sexy scent that's entirely androgynous. With speculated notes of florals, oud, spices, and cocoa, Pardon reads like a perfectly measured sonnet; though it may evoke memories of longing or awaken lust, this scent is eminently, if quietly confident. Initially, we experience a lightly spiced, woodsy scent, but as Pardon settles into the wearer's skin it grows in new, unforeseen directions. The floral heart of this fragrance seems to expand, absorbing and integrating the pixelated, slightly gritty grindings of some cinnamon-like substance, until this bloom is aglow, its circulation stimulated by piquant heat. As the flower at the center of Pardon pulses, its natural fragrance emerges, an intensely fresh yet lactic smell that perfectly compliments the milky funk of an oud-like substance in the base. A construct similar to sandalwood compounds this milky, satin union of flower and wood, contributing an additional touch of green, enlivening energy and a frisson of lightly powder. As Pardon plays out on skin, it begins to evoke memories of fresh soap shavings, the buttery dissolution of iris and the reflective warmth of richly polished wood. Genteel, inviting and eternally appropriate, Pardon is a deeply attractive, yet modest fragrance. Perfect for making waves, without lifting a finger.
