What do reviewers say about Bendelirious and Pardon?
Most cherry fragrances play it safe. Bendelirious doesn't, it starts celebratory, almost frivolous, then leather and vetiver arrive like a whispered secret.Bendelirious
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
