What wearers say
“Reaching for this a lot more during the colder months. A very good clone of Nasomatto Pardon with (in my opinion) even more projection and longevity. On me I get 60% bitter chocolate / 40% oud and sandalwood, while Padron is the reverse. At Alexandria's price point I make no apologies in saying it's a winner.”
“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...”
“Similar to Pardon, I don’t enjoy it. A plus for AF...it’s very close to Pardon.Oud, cinnamon, chocolate, sandalwood. There is also a cumin/clove note going on here that gives it a spiced edge.Last forever...projection is average.A pass for me, but well done AF on cloning Pardon.”
