How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Nouveau Monde

  • cocoa, amber: all materials absent from Pardon.
  • Released in 2019, when the other dates from 2011.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

Why choose Pardon

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on pepper, dark chocolate, rum, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • 15 years of existence (2011): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — dark chocolate, rum are among the least common notes in our database.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Pardon — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most original

    Pardon — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (dark chocolate, rum)
