There are brands like Nasomatto, which exceed expectations you didn’t even know you have. Though it was a relatively short-lived experiment, Nasomatto left a mark on the fragrance world that can’t be ignored.

On a short and unexpected twist of fate, I had a chance to experience Pardon – that’s stand for “Salvation” or “Save”, from the brand “Nasomatto”.

With Pardon, a humble devotee like me can go back time, travel thousand and thousand miles to Golgotha, nearby Church of the Holy Sepulchre where Jesus’s Crucifixion on the cross. I can hear the Jerusalem bells are ringing sadly. And the image of Joseph bring Jesus down so sorrowful.

At first, Pardon explosion on my skin, overwhelming all other things. Oud appears, thick and dry. Oh those heavenly wood! Oud wanders, a little bit spleenful. But at the same time, Oud by Nasomatto is really clean and it goes well with the Oriental spices.

When the diversity and complexity of the fragrance reaching a climax, Gourmand note become clear. The bitterness of Original unsweetened Chocolate turn Oud into a mysterious and religious smoke. Incense catch the momentum, then powerfully spread into space.

The outstanding note of Pardon is Incense, cause clearly in the Perfume Pyramid, we can’t find Incense. It’s smouldering, slowly softer with Sandalwood’s lighter aroma. What a masterpiece!

Don’t you worry if what i wrote didn’t satisfy you to image and embrace how wonderful this scent is, when the depth and transform into one and another on different skin.
