Forceful but smooth, Pardon begs for nothing owing to its appealingly rich blur of patchouli, oud and castoreum. Its animal magnetism is heightened by moreish cinnamon and cocoa.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Pardon suits an evening when conversation slows and proximity matters. Cinnamon and cocoa soften its dark woody, leather-like character, suggesting polished manners with something less tame underneath—a composed presence that becomes more revealing at close range.
How to wear
Its dense woods, spice and cocoa richness suggest the best fit is cool weather. Start with one spray on the torso and assess before adding more; restrained application lets the smoother facets temper the animalic depth. In warmer conditions or close quarters, keep the dose light.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to dark woods, earthy patchouli and animalic leather-like textures, but who prefer their intensity rounded rather than abrasive. The cocoa and cinnamon will appeal to lovers of restrained gourmand accents rather than overtly sugary fragrances.

The nose
Alessandro Gualtieri is known for dense, textural fragrances that explore woods, animalic effects and unconventional contrasts. The creator behind Nasomatto and Orto Parisi, his works include Black Afgano, Duro and Baraonda. Pardon channels that intensity into a smoother register, expressing elegance through dark richness rather than lightness.
Nasomatto’s story
Nasomatto is Alessandro Gualtieri’s platform for instinctive, independent perfumery, free from conventional commercial briefs. Its concentrated compositions convey sensations rather than neatly explained stories, while the house’s sparse descriptions invite wearers to experience each fragrance without an exhaustive note pyramid.
Pardon’s concept
Pardon was conceived to evoke masculine elegance and charm. Its accompanying gentleman imagery emphasizes cultivated manners, tailoring and craftsmanship—a polished frame for a composition whose dark, animalic richness gives refinement an assertive edge.
Extra info
Pardon’s cap is made from precious briarwood. The house also offers a 4 ml concentrated perfume oil format, which is distinct from the 30 ml extrait spray rather than simply a miniature of the same formulation.
