What do reviewers say about Pardon and L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme?
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
Some fragrances play it safe. This one doesn't. The anise cuts through the sweetness like a dare, either you're in or you're not. That's the whole point.L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme
