FAQ

Questions? Fair. Let’s clear the air.

Including the one you’re too polite to ask out loud. We went ahead and answered it anyway.

What exactly is Pardon?

Pardon is a discreet, pocket-sized spray that eliminates unwanted personal odor — the kind that shows up uninvited, usually at the worst possible time. Think of it as the thing you didn't know your bag, desk, or glovebox was missing.

Why is it called "Pardon"?

Because it's polite. Because it's discreet. Because it says everything without saying anything. Sometimes the most civilized response to a very uncivilized moment is simply: pardon. So we named the bottle after the word.

Is Pardon scented?

No — and that's on purpose. Pardon is unscented. We're not in the business of trading one smell for another; we're in the business of clearing the air and moving on. No florals, no “ocean breeze,” no cloud that follows you back to your seat.

Isn't this just air freshener?

Not really. Air freshener covers a smell with a bigger smell — which is how a room ends up smelling like a candle store had an accident. Pardon is built to neutralize odor instead of layering a new scent on top of the old one, so there's no fragrance trail and nothing for anyone to ask about.

Is this really meant for... you know?

Yes. We know exactly what brought you to this page, and there's no need to be coy about it — Pardon was made for those embarrassingly human moments and the awkward little emergencies that come with them. You're among friends here.

Does Pardon just cover smells with perfume?

No. That's the whole point of being unscented. The goal isn't a new smell layered on top — it's no smell. If Pardon left a cloud behind, we'd consider that a design flaw, not a feature.

When would I actually use this?

Whenever you feel it coming and there's nowhere to go — the car, the office, a plane, a date, someone else's couch, a hotel room, an elevator that suddenly feels very small. If you've ever wished you could disappear for ten seconds, this is the next best thing.

Where should I keep it?

Wherever you're most likely to need it without warning: car console, desk drawer, gym bag, diaper bag, nightstand, carry-on. Most people end up keeping more than one, in more than one place.

Can I use Pardon in the car?

Absolutely — it's one of the most popular places to keep it. Small enough for a cup holder or console, and unscented enough that it won't compete with anyone's air freshener tree.

Can I keep it at work?

Yes. It's unscented and discreet enough to sit in a desk drawer without raising questions — which is really the whole design brief. HR has enough to deal with already.

Is Pardon travel-friendly?

Yes. Pardon's bottle is sized to fly with you — well under the 3.4 oz / 100 ml carry-on liquid limit, so it goes through security in your bag without a second look.

Can I take it on an airplane?

You can. Pack it in your carry-on like any other travel-sized liquid. We can't promise it'll get you an exit row, but it won't get you pulled aside, either. Your seatmate thanks you in advance.

Still have questions?

Get on the list and we’ll answer the rest before launch day — no waiting on hold, no elevator music.

No spam. We’ve already got enough unwanted things floating around.
