What do reviewers say about Brindaban and Pardon?
A fresh, assured opening, then something more personal takes over. This isn't built to announce itself. But on a warm night, walking somewhere sacred, the oud and sandalwood heart does exactly what.Brindaban
This is sweeter than you might expect from the name. The magnolia and tonka give it a softness that plays against the oud base. If you want pure darkness, look elsewhere.Pardon
