Greenley got judged quite harshly here. I think that making a summer scent as amazing as Greenley should move it towards the top. It would 100% be in my top 5
Greenly is my favorite from the house. It's one of my daily drivers. To me it's better then sedley and percival. Which routinely get rated higher then it.
Honestly, for me it belongs there, it smells like fresh-cut grass, nothing special, really just a basic scent formula which you can find in many cheaper scents.
Carlisle has always been my favorite PdM. It is similar (but better) than Red Tobacco, but it actually came before Red Tobacco, so... I get Layton's universal mass appeal, but it's not quite dynamic enough for me to love it like almost everyone else does.
Layton and Pegasus are the most wearable for me. The rest that I’ve smelled seem to only work for certain occasions. If it’s not versatile I’m just not all that interested. The Exclusif flankers are very nice too and different enough to get as well as the originals.
Love the house of PDM. Haltane is my signature scent - opening is similar to OFG but the dry-down of Haltane is where it shines. Carlisle is a masterpiece and one I wear in fall and winter. Sedley is my spring/summer signature scent.
I am always intrigued by anyone who managed to appreciate Kalan. I tried it with a group of friends and we were taken aback by the scent. But to each his/her own, and whats important is the wearer's appreciation.
Kalan is in my top 5 PdM fragrances as well. Its so strange how people are turned off by this one, some comparing it to TF Noir Anthracite 🤯, which is mind blowing to me...Kalan has a deep sweet cotton candy vibe, to me its similar to CdN Untold which is a clone of BR540...
I love Kalan, it’s very classy and elegant , my favorites are: Herod, Layton Exclusif, Carlisle, and Oajan. Percival I don’t see why is so popular, I have it and received lots of compliments when wear it, but it’s not my kind !
I have Layton Exclusif, Pegasus Exclusif, Herod and Carlisle. They’re all amazing! I didn’t really like the regular Layton all that much but Exclusif is amazing.
Exclusif turns to charred bbq burnt wood scent after an hour on skin. I tried to love it over and over..topsoil with charred wood finish..my wife thought I sat by a bonfire all day after I wore Exlusif..to each his own I guess..I cant stand it..Opening is out of this world..but then it turns to burnt rubber with topsoil
@@yaro-8 Yeah it is very smoky! I know it is an either you love it or you hate it type of fragrance. To me, the opening is what is super different from the original. After it dries down I feel like the original starts to come out more which is why I preferred this one. The original Layton to me was a bit basic, just vanilla. I went for this because it added a nice razzle dazzle but I agree it is definitely not something I would wear every day.
Layton, Sedley/Greenley, Herod would make my top 3, followed by Kalan. Yeah, I kind of like that a lot in winter time, as it's different from your basic spicy cinnamon vanilla bomb xmas vibe scent. Quite unique.
@@hanmorpheus6847He didn't get it wrong anymore than you did. He just doesn't like it. I didn't like Kalan either. But I only like a couple of their fragrances to begin with, so everyone's mileage varies.
The only one i own is greenley as i love the scent profile. Layton is amazing herod and Carlisle also, tried Percival and sedley neither lasted over an hour on me, sedley lasted 30 minutes.
Layton and Oud for Greatness were the two frags that got me started down the black hole of niche fragrances. I now own 250 fragrances. Many I don’t wear. Layton and LE are still my most worn fragrances.
My top 3 are Herod, Carlisle, and Oajan. Own only Herod, have Marly's samples of the others including Layton. Layton is not one that I gravitate towards too much. Same thing for clones and inspired-by's like Detour Noir, Boss Bottled Intense, Hillfiger Impact Intense. I have the first two of those and honestly, never feel inclined to smell or wear them.
It's definitely Herod, Oajan and Layton for me. Although I really enjoy Sedley, Kalan and Haltane! Pegasus if I'm feeling extraordinary 😅. Thank you Ash! Great video as usual
I love the house of Parfums de marly! For me it would be really hard to rank these fragrances because i love alot of them. I had a sample of oajan and now need to pick up a bottle of it soon!
I love Kalan. I actually just finally bought a bottle! I will say it seems like the least PDM fragrance that they have. And probably the most niche selling. It is a bit odd and earthy, but it personally one of my favourites and I think it’ll become a frequent wear for me.
I think the best one overall is Percival 4 seasons versatile, second is Layton for the winter for the date is Herod, I didn’t try the last one from PDM.
Yes, of all the ones he reviewed, Percival is the most versatile...as most blue fragrances are. To me, Layton is a three season beast, but I think shines best in cool, but not cold, weather. One of my favorite fall fragrances.
Thanks Ash for another great video. I have 5 PDMS and Layton was my first on the list. But now as I get older it came down on the list. Herod is my favorite but I think Kalan is much underrated. It’s one of my favorite.
I'd personally switch Percival and Sedley and maybe Layton Exclusif with Oajan (possibly even put Layton Exclusif at number 2 - yeah, I love the Layton DNA), but otherwise solid list
pretty solid, I prefer layton exclusive over Layton.. I feel it smells more expensive, opulent, versatile, and personal daily scent worthy .I also really enjoy Haltane and get alot of compliments and comments asking for info on that one too
Living in a hot and humid area all year round and it probably effects the love for scent 1) PERCIVAL > everyday 2) SEDLEY > super hot days 3) GALLOWAY > work 4) HALTANE or LAYTON > night ALL PDM are great by the way. One above all for me.
I just blind buy layton exclusif. I was shocked at how much different it is to the original! So much so i actually thought i bought the wrong frag. Ppl saying they are similar, i strongly disagree. Exclusif is dark, mean and gives no excuses. I recomend smelling before buying.
I actually love Kalan, but I can get why it is a challenge for some... there is just something about it that is addictive. I had already sampled it before I saw your first review of it and suspected it was not gonna be your fav, but I remember being a little shocked by how much you didn't like it. It's one that I wear carefully.
My favourite are Layton,Herod,Sedley,Layton Exclusif and Pegasus Exclusif. Have Kalan and been trying to sell it for a while, just grew out of it... Didn't try Althair and Perseus,would like to try these 2 very much.
My top 5 after owning or trying them all: 1. Carlisle 2. Layton 3. Layton Exclusif 4. Herod 5. Oujan The others are all decent but not sure if bottle worthy. Sedley and Percival are ok.
I generally agree with you but I never got the Kalan hate. I can understand you not loving it, but it still smells nice. I got a decant of it when it first came out and I remember kinda enjoying it. Just not enough for me to pull the trigger on.
Not a bad line up. Perseus is absent as it’s new but after sampling a ton of pdm’s it was my favourite for spring and summer. The drydown is superb. Would’ve possibly ranked Carlisle as no. 1 though. But I use it more for going out in nights.
Glad to see Layton as number one, that is the only PDM I own and I've sampled all of them, Layton and Haltane stood out to me the most, and if you own one, you dont need the other, they are not the same fragrance, but both are similar in terms of use case scenario, Layton is the superior one though.
You wound me grievously Sir!! Kalan is impeccable just like a wonderfully tailored suit! We should meet on the field of honor to duel at dawn! Kidding, wore Kalan to work and a young woman told me I smelled "Old".😂 Nice list, very hard house to rank. Cheers🎉🎉🎉
I love PDM, I have 6 currently and will probably own more! Hard to disagree with your number 1 choice, I do really like Percival though! My top 3 would be Percival, Althair and Layton probably.
I just tried percival for the first time today and I really like it. Im not really getting all the similarities to fierce and legend though.. to me it definitely has a different smell, but I like it a lot still
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. For me Kalan is a must have in your collection. All of PDM fragrances are unique and unusual to me and you can’t go wrong with any of their colognes. My personal Favorites: Kalan, Pegasus, Pegasus Exclusif, Layton Exclusif, Haltane, Althier, Sedley, Godolphin and Carlisle.
Layton Exclusif is very polarizing. You're either going to like it or you might run to scrub if off. Personally, I thought it smelled disgusting and gave my sample away as soon as I could. How it makes it to the top of some lists blows my mind, but to each their own. In the end, there are scents out there for everyone 👍
Can't disagree too much. My top 3 are #1. Carlyle (at first I wasn't a fan, time went by...about a yr n half and thought I'd give it a whirl again. Cold weather is best for this so it was just recently. It has grown on me. #2. Sedley....love at first sniff. Love the mint in it..great for summer and even fall. #3. Layton..(again, like Carlyle it's been sitting on my shelf...just recently picked it up again and it's crazy medicinal at first for me but once it settles down it's a beautiful scent. Carlyle and Layton your gonna smell for days after. Love your content brother 👍
I own Galloway, Haltane and Percival. I really like Kalan, but my wife doesn't, so I've only ever had one travel spray of it, and my wife LOVES Layton, but I'm only meh on it so she buys me an 8ml travel spray from time to time as I only wear it when we have a date night. I've sampled Harod, Oajan, Carlisle, Sedley and Greenley, but none of them were for me. If I had to choose an overall favorite it would be neck and neck between Haltane and Percival, but I'd give the edge to Haltane.
Kalan is one of their best fragrances imo, the drydown is intoxicating. My top 3 from PDM in no particular order are Carlisle, Kalan and Layton Excluisif
It’s tough to make a worst to best ranking of all PDMs because some like Greenly, Sedley, and Percival shine in the summer while Haltane, Althair, and Carlisle will shine in the winter. Depending if you like spice (Kalan), or leather (Godolphin), Tobacco (Herad), Metal (Pegas), or more fruity (Perseus), there’s literally a fragrance for everyone in the niche quality. Only one they are missing is some Purple theme bottle now. I’ve seen countless lists in the past few days and very rarely if not impossible to find one list the same as another. Everyone’s nose is different. Each scent also has a different opening and cooldown. Never rub the fragrance when you try it and bring a small jar of coffee beans to cleanse your nose before smelling another.
My personal favorite PdM fragrances that I own: 1. Sedley 2. Carlisle 3. Layton 4. Oajan 5. Herod Sedley has surprised me the most, first I was indifferent but with time it grew on me to the point that I was spraying it on every sunny day. With Carlisle I had some of my best memories, that's why it's on number 2. Layton was my first PdM, wasn't that much impressed at first but with time you can see how special and versatile it is. Oajan is the most interesting of them all IMO, very potent. Herod is probably a little bit overhyped but it's still a great fragrance really.
Parfums de Marly, a France-based niche fragrance producer, posted more than 50 percent sales growth in 2023 and expects more than 40 percent growth this year to $600 million in sales.
I don’t understand how Percival - which is a nice fragrance but a bit underwhelming as it is only a high-end version of Fierce - can come on top of Pegasus, which is really unique and classy (in my opinion).
In no particular order, my top 5 are Haltane, Oajan, Carlisle, and this will be controversial to some but I dig Greenley and Darley in the warm weather. Honorable mention…Layton, Herod, Percival, Pegasus. Another hot take, I dislike Sedley. I go nose blind to it so for the price, its a terrible buy for me because I can’t smell it after an hour.
@GentsScents I hate to burst any bubbles, but Layton smells suspiciously like Avon's Mesmerize from back in the 90's people dont believe me, but when my brother and I first smelled Layton, we were shocked at how similar they are. Mesmerize is still available if anyone wants to check. Im being 100 on this
Carlisle, Habdan, Herod amd Godolphin for me, mate. Oajan is wonderful, but is too strong - I get skin burn and headaches from it. So I only sniff it from a sample...
layton to me smells like cough syrup for kids. i have tried to like it on my skin but it just didnt work. My favorites to date that ive tried at Neimann marcus have been haltane, percival, and oajan
Top 3 for me would be: 1. Layton 2. Carlisle (magic juice, would be on top but it is less versatile than Layton) / Herod 3. Darley / Percival Why was Darley not mentioned? Highly underrated. Regarding the comparison with Red Tobacco, which is awesome, I think Herod is much more comparable to Red Tobacco than Carlisle. But Carlisle and Herod are also very similar. I wonder if it is worth to have all 3 of them? (RT, Carlisle and Herod)
15. 1:32 Kalan
14. 2:49 Galloway
13. 3:59 Pegasus
12. 5:14 Greenley
11. 5:45 Godolphin
10. 6:46 Haltane
09. 7:40 Pegasus Exclusif
08. 8:13 Althaïr
07. 9:30 Percival
06. 10:20 Sedley
05. 11:10 Carlisle
04. 12:04 Layton Exclusif
03. 12:59 Oajan
02. 13:52 Herod
01. 14:34 Layton
🎉🎉 thanks
Thank you! You saved us 16:40 mins.
Greenley got judged quite harshly here. I think that making a summer scent as amazing as Greenley should move it towards the top. It would 100% be in my top 5
I agree, I recently bought Greenley and my gf and I are very happy with the scent. Not the top 5 of PDM, but still a nice scent
Nah it should be where its at, all of the other are better IMO
I bought greenley, it's a beautiful fresh unusual scent I love it.
Greenly is my favorite from the house. It's one of my daily drivers. To me it's better then sedley and percival. Which routinely get rated higher then it.
Honestly, for me it belongs there, it smells like fresh-cut grass, nothing special, really just a basic scent formula which you can find in many cheaper scents.

Carlisle. Herod. Sedley. Thats pdm for me, everything else is meh.
Layton is unique enough for daily wear at not unique enough for anything situational imo
Layton and Pegasus are the most wearable for me. The rest that I’ve smelled seem to only work for certain occasions. If it’s not versatile I’m just not all that interested. The Exclusif flankers are very nice too and different enough to get as well as the originals.
What about sedley
@@CUTROPE Have not smelled it.
Layton, pegasus and sedly 123
althair is an easy everyday wear in my opinion
Problem with versatile scents is they all start smelling about the same in chase of that versatility.
Love the house of PDM. Haltane is my signature scent - opening is similar to OFG but the dry-down of Haltane is where it shines. Carlisle is a masterpiece and one I wear in fall and winter. Sedley is my spring/summer signature scent.
Agree, it’s like OFG but I like it more as it’s a bit more wearable
For me
1- haltane
2- Herod
3- Althair
4- Layton
Depends on my mood Herod and althair may switch spots but haltane is always number 1
Layton is the only one that really blew me away at first smell. LOVE Layton, haven’t been huge on the other ones.
Pretty much. There’s Layton and Herod, and then everything else. Lol
Facts i think the whole house is terrible but layton is just amazing its the best of all colognes
And Layton exclusive
I agree with your order for the most part. The one missing that is in my top 5 is Habdan.
Pegasus Exclusif is a #1 in my book!
Oajan #2
Layton #3
An overlooked PDM is Darley. Nothing too crazy about it, but for me it’s like a more refined JPG Le Male
Yes!!
Yet again Habdan gets overlooked, never gets a mention and is a beautiful fragrance.
YUP FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT
Agreed
Akaster also is underrated imo.
Completely agree, Habdan is so addictive!
Yes I love The Habdan too
Rocking the old 78% formulation Layton.. It's gorgeous
I absolutely love Kalan. It's probably my #4 behind Layton Exclusif, Carlisle, and Herod
I am always intrigued by anyone who managed to appreciate Kalan. I tried it with a group of friends and we were taken aback by the scent. But to each his/her own, and whats important is the wearer's appreciation.
It's disgusting
Complete garbage....had a sample and couldn't even stand to wear it
Kalan is in my top 5 PdM fragrances as well. Its so strange how people are turned off by this one, some comparing it to TF Noir Anthracite 🤯, which is mind blowing to me...Kalan has a deep sweet cotton candy vibe, to me its similar to CdN Untold which is a clone of BR540...
Also, love Kalan was sampling it when it first came out and a girlfriend at the time said "You smell like Christmas"
I love Kalan, it’s very classy and elegant , my favorites are: Herod, Layton Exclusif, Carlisle, and Oajan. Percival I don’t see why is so popular, I have it and received lots of compliments when wear it, but it’s not my kind !
It took Layton Exclusive a while to grow on me but I love it now
My favorite PdM is Oajan. Hands down.
I have Layton Exclusif, Pegasus Exclusif, Herod and Carlisle. They’re all amazing!
I didn’t really like the regular Layton all that much but Exclusif is amazing.
Exclusif turns to charred bbq burnt wood scent after an hour on skin. I tried to love it over and over..topsoil with charred wood finish..my wife thought I sat by a bonfire all day after I wore Exlusif..to each his own I guess..I cant stand it..Opening is out of this world..but then it turns to burnt rubber with topsoil

I went for this because it added a nice razzle dazzle but I agree it is definitely not something I would wear every day.
Layton, Sedley and Percival are definitely the most mass appealing and therefore will get you the most compliments, that’s for sure 💯
Layton, Sedley/Greenley, Herod would make my top 3, followed by Kalan. Yeah, I kind of like that a lot in winter time, as it's different from your basic spicy cinnamon vanilla bomb xmas vibe scent. Quite unique.
Kalan is noticed by everyone when I wear it. I keep it top of my list. Don't know how this review got it wrong.
@@hanmorpheus6847He didn't get it wrong anymore than you did. He just doesn't like it. I didn't like Kalan either. But I only like a couple of their fragrances to begin with, so everyone's mileage varies.
@@hanmorpheus6847crazy how someone's preferences different than yours equates to "getting it wrong".
Is sedley more long lasting then greenly
@@danieloliva505 not to my senses. But it's not far off. Different kind of scent. Less sweet compared to Greenley.
The only one i own is greenley as i love the scent profile. Layton is amazing herod and Carlisle also, tried Percival and sedley neither lasted over an hour on me, sedley lasted 30 minutes.
That’s odd, I find those two perform well on me, especially Percival
Layton and Oud for Greatness were the two frags that got me started down the black hole of niche fragrances. I now own 250 fragrances. Many I don’t wear. Layton and LE are still my most worn fragrances.
😮
I don't know how people afford such things
Hello Ash, can you please do a ranking for Kilian. Really interested on your perspective on some of their fragrances. Thanks
I agree with your top 2, but no.3 for me would be Habdan, which you completely left out.
Habdan is awesome 👍
My top 3 are Herod, Carlisle, and Oajan. Own only Herod, have Marly's samples of the others including Layton. Layton is not one that I gravitate towards too much. Same thing for clones and inspired-by's like Detour Noir, Boss Bottled Intense, Hillfiger Impact Intense. I have the first two of those and honestly, never feel inclined to smell or wear them.
It's definitely Herod, Oajan and Layton for me. Although I really enjoy Sedley, Kalan and Haltane! Pegasus if I'm feeling extraordinary 😅. Thank you Ash! Great video as usual
Haltane is great, I prefer it over the Oud for Greatness
I just got a sample of oajan at its amazing imo
I love the house of Parfums de marly! For me it would be really hard to rank these fragrances because i love alot of them. I had a sample of oajan and now need to pick up a bottle of it soon!
I love Kalan. I actually just finally bought a bottle!
I will say it seems like the least PDM fragrance that they have. And probably the most niche selling. It is a bit odd and earthy, but it personally one of my favourites and I think it’ll become a frequent wear for me.
Kalan the best my favorite after Haltane and Carlisle
I got kalan in cart right debating on that, ojan. Herod, althair. What you think
I found that it was actually quite nice on the drydown, the opening is almost horrendous, though. definitely spray it on an hour before going out.
I think the best one overall is Percival 4 seasons versatile, second is Layton for the winter for the date is Herod, I didn’t try the last one from PDM.
Yes, of all the ones he reviewed, Percival is the most versatile...as most blue fragrances are. To me, Layton is a three season beast, but I think shines best in cool, but not cold, weather. One of my favorite fall fragrances.
Oajan and Galloway are two of my go to fragrances. I know Galloway is pretty far down on the list, but that is one of my most asked about fragrances.
I love Galloway. I just order Haltane
Kalan is a win. Plenty of “what are you wearing” from that fragrance, I’ve never understood the hate it gets.
kalan #1
Kalan is my # 1 too..He dropped the ball on this review 😅
so true, Kalan best PdM scent for me.
@@CR-pw9ilcrazy how someone's preferences differing from yours equates to "dropping the ball".
@@chusett It’s banter relax …Obviously fragrances are subjective
My top 3 are (3) Herod, (2) Greenley, (1) Carlisle. Then Laton and Oajon for 4 and 5. I have most of those as well except the new one and Sedly.
Thanks Ash for another great video. I have 5 PDMS and Layton was my first on the list. But now as I get older it came down on the list. Herod is my favorite but I think Kalan is much underrated. It’s one of my favorite.
Kalan 👍
I'd personally switch Percival and Sedley and maybe Layton Exclusif with Oajan (possibly even put Layton Exclusif at number 2 - yeah, I love the Layton DNA), but otherwise solid list
pretty solid, I prefer layton exclusive over Layton.. I feel it smells more expensive, opulent, versatile, and personal daily scent worthy .I also really enjoy Haltane and get alot of compliments and comments asking for info on that one too
I get Dior Elixir vibe from Haltane, i prefer that over Haltane a little more.
I get a ton of compliments with Althair layered with Polo red parfum. Oajan is by far my favorite from the brand and Habdan a close second.
Layton-Herod-Oajan-
These are my Top 3 but, PFM is pretty much my favorite niche fragrance. I love your bottom 3.
Top 3: Kalan 3, Carlisle2 and Layton1. I have gotten many more compliments with Kalan than any other PDM I own.
it's because kalan smells better on the skin and on the dry down it's literally the best PDM. most people smell the opening and just shy away from it.
we all have preferences. what is your favorite?@@BourbonInhibitions
I have tried all the niche and designer fragrances
Layton is the best I have ever tried in terms of scent and quality
Greenley is definitely a top five. Great longevity.
Greenley is my most complimented frag out of great collection of around 90. It is a beastmode scent on my skin.
Living in a hot and humid area all year round and it probably effects the love for scent
1) PERCIVAL > everyday
2) SEDLEY > super hot days
3) GALLOWAY > work
4) HALTANE or LAYTON > night
ALL PDM are great by the way. One above all for me.
I just blind buy layton exclusif. I was shocked at how much different it is to the original! So much so i actually thought i bought the wrong frag. Ppl saying they are similar, i strongly disagree. Exclusif is dark, mean and gives no excuses. I recomend smelling before buying.
I thought the opposite, couldn't believe how similar they are and questioned if I needed both.
I just got into fragrances and was buying decants but just couldnt stop going back to Layton!
Carlisle, Herod, Habdan, Nisean and Layton are my top 5. Own quite a few others but those to me, are the most defining.
I actually love Kalan, but I can get why it is a challenge for some... there is just something about it that is addictive. I had already sampled it before I saw your first review of it and suspected it was not gonna be your fav, but I remember being a little shocked by how much you didn't like it. It's one that I wear carefully.
My favourite are Layton,Herod,Sedley,Layton Exclusif and Pegasus Exclusif. Have Kalan and been trying to sell it for a while, just grew out of it... Didn't try Althair and Perseus,would like to try these 2 very much.
Habdan is about 6 for me. It knocked Michael Kors, Michael out of my autumn run!
I was bored and looking for a video to watch and then I got the notification for this video, thanks Ash!
I agree with the list. I would’ve ranked Carlise. My top three Layton, Carlise, Percival in that order
My top 5 after owning or trying them all:
1. Carlisle
2. Layton
3. Layton Exclusif
4. Herod
5. Oujan
The others are all decent but not sure if bottle worthy. Sedley and Percival are ok.
Layton, Herod, Carlisle and Sedley are my PDMs covering all seasons.
For me
1) CARLISLE (All Time Favorite)
2) HEROD
3) LAYTON
I have all 3.
I’m considering Layton Exclusif & Althair.
Where is Habdan and Darley? Underrated indeed
Habdan is a top 5 pdm
I generally agree with you but I never got the Kalan hate. I can understand you not loving it, but it still smells nice. I got a decant of it when it first came out and I remember kinda enjoying it. Just not enough for me to pull the trigger on.

I just tried percival for the first time today and I really like it. Im not really getting all the similarities to fierce and legend though.. to me it definitely has a different smell, but I like it a lot still
Kalan gives me tons of compliments, is a beautiful smell
Recently got Althair and Haltane from Notino with 20% discount 😊
I get so many compliments on Kalan lol, and that's the beauty of fragrance is than I guess i'm in circles where people like this more.
Hot tip. Layer Layton with Layton exclusif 2 to 1 and you get all the magic of both
I tried layton exclusif and the dry down smelled repulsive to me for whatever reason. First time I tried to scrub off a scent
I'm with you. One of the very worst fragrances I've ever tried. Disgusting.
Love this concept! You should do more of these
1: Oajan
2: Leyton
3: Greenly
You're all set 👌🏽
Im rocking with Althair this fall/winter 🔥
Haltane is grossly underrated
Yeah but its to expensive😢
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. For me Kalan is a must have in your collection. All of PDM fragrances are unique and unusual to me and you can’t go wrong with any of their colognes. My personal Favorites: Kalan, Pegasus, Pegasus Exclusif, Layton Exclusif, Haltane, Althier, Sedley, Godolphin and Carlisle.
Herod. In fact, it's time for me to cop another bottle of it. Love it.
Layton Exclusif is very polarizing. You're either going to like it or you might run to scrub if off. Personally, I thought it smelled disgusting and gave my sample away as soon as I could. How it makes it to the top of some lists blows my mind, but to each their own. In the end, there are scents out there for everyone 👍
Same here
Yes !!!! Thank you !!Exlusif drydown smells like burnt rubber tire in detroit
@@yaro-8 Woah, you made it to the drydown? 🤣 I remember scrubbing it off multiple times (potent juice)
I have 8 PdM. Many of them in this list. The best is Godolphin. Nothing beats Godolphin when it comes to leather based fragrances.
I got into the PDM house and Kilian House because of you … just want to say Thank you!
Can't disagree too much. My top 3 are #1. Carlyle (at first I wasn't a fan, time went by...about a yr n half and thought I'd give it a whirl again. Cold weather is best for this so it was just recently. It has grown on me. #2. Sedley....love at first sniff. Love the mint in it..great for summer and even fall. #3. Layton..(again, like Carlyle it's been sitting on my shelf...just recently picked it up again and it's crazy medicinal at first for me but once it settles down it's a beautiful scent. Carlyle and Layton your gonna smell for days after.
Love your content brother 👍
I own Galloway, Haltane and Percival. I really like Kalan, but my wife doesn't, so I've only ever had one travel spray of it, and my wife LOVES Layton, but I'm only meh on it so she buys me an 8ml travel spray from time to time as I only wear it when we have a date night.
I've sampled Harod, Oajan, Carlisle, Sedley and Greenley, but none of them were for me.
If I had to choose an overall favorite it would be neck and neck between Haltane and Percival, but I'd give the edge to Haltane.
Personal favorite is Herod but nobody ever asked what I was wearing. However when I wear Layton people always asked me what cologne I'm wearing.
Kalan is one of their best fragrances imo, the drydown is intoxicating. My top 3 from PDM in no particular order are Carlisle, Kalan and Layton Excluisif
It’s tough to make a worst to best ranking of all PDMs because some like Greenly, Sedley, and Percival shine in the summer while Haltane, Althair, and Carlisle will shine in the winter. Depending if you like spice (Kalan), or leather (Godolphin), Tobacco (Herad), Metal (Pegas), or more fruity (Perseus), there’s literally a fragrance for everyone in the niche quality. Only one they are missing is some Purple theme bottle now. I’ve seen countless lists in the past few days and very rarely if not impossible to find one list the same as another. Everyone’s nose is different. Each scent also has a different opening and cooldown. Never rub the fragrance when you try it and bring a small jar of coffee beans to cleanse your nose before smelling another.
My favourites PDM are Haltan > Oujan > Herod > Althair > Sedley. Layton is pretty much ok, but i wouldnt buy another bottle again.
Layton, Oajan, Carlisle, Herod, and Haltane are my top 5 with Layton 100 percent taking the number one spot.
My personal favorite PdM fragrances that I own:
1. Sedley
2. Carlisle
3. Layton
4. Oajan
5. Herod
Sedley has surprised me the most, first I was indifferent but with time it grew on me to the point that I was spraying it on every sunny day. With Carlisle I had some of my best memories, that's why it's on number 2. Layton was my first PdM, wasn't that much impressed at first but with time you can see how special and versatile it is. Oajan is the most interesting of them all IMO, very potent. Herod is probably a little bit overhyped but it's still a great fragrance really.
Parfums de Marly, a France-based niche fragrance producer, posted more than 50 percent sales growth in 2023 and expects more than 40 percent growth this year to $600 million in sales.
I’m not even trying to be contrary and all that . But nothing but compliments for me with Galloway bro bro
I don’t understand how Percival - which is a nice fragrance but a bit underwhelming as it is only a high-end version of Fierce - can come on top of Pegasus, which is really unique and classy (in my opinion).
Herod, Layton, Oajan, Pegasus, Sedley, Haltane, Percival. Those are the ones I like the most.
I've smelled about 10 pdm. My favorite are carlisle and greenly.
In no particular order, my top 5 are Haltane, Oajan, Carlisle, and this will be controversial to some but I dig Greenley and Darley in the warm weather. Honorable mention…Layton, Herod, Percival, Pegasus. Another hot take, I dislike Sedley. I go nose blind to it so for the price, its a terrible buy for me because I can’t smell it after an hour.
I love love Parfums de Marly Habdan it's probably my Favorite Cologne in my Collection
Just broke down, & bought my 1st Layton cologne tonight. If anyone is gonna splurge, go ahead w/this fragrance. Freaking AMAZING!!!
My favorite is Pegasus and worst purchase was Kalan. #2 is Herod and #3 is Layton Exclusive
@GentsScents I hate to burst any bubbles, but Layton smells suspiciously like Avon's Mesmerize from back in the 90's people dont believe me, but when my brother and I first smelled Layton, we were shocked at how similar they are. Mesmerize is still available if anyone wants to check. Im being 100 on this
Carlisle, Habdan, Herod amd Godolphin for me, mate.
Oajan is wonderful, but is too strong - I get skin burn and headaches from it. So I only sniff it from a sample...
Great video. I like your list. I will personally put Galloway in my Top 5. I love the fragrance, the smell so fresh and clean.
Boss bottled parfum is extremely close to Galloway at $65!!!
i have 9 pdms, the one i like to hear is habdan, better than althair and oajan imo
You’re a fantastic reviewer. Straight to the points, succinct, not try-hard, likeable.
Keep it up bro
I think Godolphin is closer to Ombre leather by TF. Great vid! Thanks keep it up.
1: Layton
2: Pegasus
3: Kalan
4: Carlisle
5: Oajan
6: Godolphin
7: Herod
8: Haltane
layton to me smells like cough syrup for kids. i have tried to like it on my skin but it just didnt work. My favorites to date that ive tried at Neimann marcus have been haltane, percival, and oajan
Just got Layton in today its amazing
I love pdm but I just don’t get Layton. It smells like cherry Vic’s vaper syrup with vanilla 😅
Cherry? I get nothing close to cherry in Layton. Not every fragrance is for everyone. I think it smells awesome!
would like to see a video like this but with initio fragrances...
Top 3 for me would be:
1. Layton
2. Carlisle (magic juice, would be on top but it is less versatile than Layton) / Herod
3. Darley / Percival
Why was Darley not mentioned? Highly underrated.
Regarding the comparison with Red Tobacco, which is awesome, I think Herod is much more comparable to Red Tobacco than Carlisle. But Carlisle and Herod are also very similar. I wonder if it is worth to have all 3 of them? (RT, Carlisle and Herod)
