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 close, deliberate evenings where the room is warm and the conversation moves slowly. It projects the kind of presence that feels tailored and self-possessed, with a dark sweetness that reads polished up close rather than loud across a distance.
How to wear
Best in cool to cold weather, Pardon wears well with a light hand: one or two sprays are enough for its dense extrait concentration. On skin it opens spicy and dark, then settles into a smooth woody-cocoa trail that holds for hours and blooms more richly in crisp air.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like dark woods, oud, spice and a controlled gourmand edge, especially when they want their fragrance to feel smooth rather than syrupy. It will appeal to those who enjoy assertive, leathery compositions with a refined, almost tailored finish.

The nose
Alessandro Gualtieri is the founder and nose behind Nasomatto, and Pardon reflects his signature taste for bold, unconventional compositions with a tactile, almost sculptural intensity. His work often balances raw materials against a polished surface, creating fragrances that feel provocative but controlled. Gualtieri is known for treating perfumery as personal artistic expression rather than formulaic luxury, and that approach is central to Pardon: a dark woody-spicy extrait that tempers oud and patchouli with cinnamon, cocoa and a smooth, animalic finish.
Nasomatto’s story
Nasomatto is built as an experimental platform for Alessandro Gualtieri’s personal ideas, favoring strong character, unusual contrasts and a deliberately nonconformist aesthetic. The house values expressive, small-batch perfumery over conventional crowd-pleasing polish, and its scents are designed to feel unmistakably authored.
Pardon’s concept
Launched in 2011, Pardon was conceived as a refined take on masculine elegance, using oud, patchouli, cinnamon and chocolate-like facets to create a dark but composed composition. It sits within Nasomatto’s broader experimental project, where the emphasis is on artistic freedom and a fragrance’s emotional impact rather than a fully disclosed formula.
Extra info
Pardon is an extrait de parfum in Nasomatto’s compact 30ml bottle, with a handcrafted, small-batch identity. It is often noted for being one of the house’s more wearable oud fragrances, thanks to its cocoa and cinnamon facets.
