Hate to say that but somebody is down rating a lot of Alexandria fragrances. Parfume rating (not only this one) has dropped quit dramatically in last few days. It is very disappointing to realize that data in fragrantica is fake…

Yes, just like Pardon which let’s just say, I was never a fan of.
Oddly bitter, sweet just mostly strong pungent woody oudh at the start mixed with unsweetened chocolate later on. Unapologetic(!)
If he replicates the one’s I like and for his prices and slight and usually improved tweaks to the ‘original’, the scores shoot up. If he replicates the 1’s I hate, the score then reflects that sadly. Pretty obvious but its all about what’s what
My rating: 4/10

This is good replica of Pardon. I would say 90 – 95% identical. This also reminds me of Carven Homme (which is supposed to be a clone of Gucci Envy). It is definitely a cooler weather scent suited for fall/winter/very early spring. Projection is great as is sillage…

Smooth and amazing, the smell just keeps going and going. I love it!

In my opinion, the very best that Alexandria Fragrances has. Before I get to the scent itself, I’ll just say it’s absolute BEAST MODE performance. Longevity, projection, sillage, all three. It’s POWERFUL!
The scent is a chocolatey, oud, woody beast. Supremely masculine, but smooth. It makes you smell like walking sexuality. The oud is there, but never overpowering because the chocolate blends in so well. It’s intoxicating.
And this is a compliment Kraken. Women absolutely LOVE this scent. I have never, not once worn this an not gotten a compliment from a woman. My lady simply wants to gobble me up when I wear it. When I’m out, women walk up to me to smell me closer and tell me that I smell great.
I wore it to work last week and we were waiting in line to go into our yearly Xmas party. A woman turned a corner that I went around about a minute before and said: “Someone’s wearing some really strong cologne! It smells amazing though!” Yeah, I went 5 sprays at work, don’t do that. 4 max. When going out, I do 5: 3 on my shirt, 2 on my neck. Or the reverse, 2 on my shirt, 3 on my neck. When it heats up, it PROJECTS. I mean like a mushroom cloud.
I’ve never smelled Nasamotto’s Pardon so I can’t do a comparison. All I know is that this stuff is easily niche quality. Don’t bother with the 1oz, get the 2oz and smell like a god.
10 out of 10 and EASILY Backup Bottle Worthy. You’ll never want to be with out it.
