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 Pardon
- It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
- pepper, oud, dark chocolate: all materials absent from Noir Extreme.
- More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
- Notes that are uncommon with us (dark chocolate, rum): the less conventional of the two.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
Why choose Noir Extreme
- Its pyramid opens on amber, cardamom, neroli, nowhere to be found opposite.
- amber and gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
- Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
- Less at ease in the “spring” context according to our calculated profile.

-
Most versatile
Pardon — at ease in 7 contexts out of 8, against 5
-
