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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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...
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
Like the list. The one I really miss is Akaster. VERY curious to that one! It's the one that is not talked about. EDIT: Okay... I got Akaster in from the UK. Unfortunately it is very hard to get in The Netherlands. But it is AMAZING!! Opening is indeed a bit harsh, but after a few minutes.. YOU'RE THE MAN! 😍
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 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.
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
interesting i went to the PDM storefront in NYC and spent about 3 hours with the marketing director for the company, trying lots and lots of scents. maybe the marketing director was biased and trying to oversell me on Galloway and Pegasus but i came away feeling like those two in particular worked on my skin the best. that was many years ago now though, so i think i'm gonna full deep dive into getting my PDM (and all other fragrances) collection built back up, gonna start with Layton blind and go from there i appreciate the comparison of, say, Lalique White to Galloway. while i appreciate the high quality of PDM in general, a 90% discount for a very similar scent is a no-brainer 😅 instant sub! looking forward to consuming much more of your content as i build back up my collection!
Great video. You influenced my choices for scent box I chose oajan for December and Layton exclusive for January. I know you won’t steer me wrong brother.. keep up the great work..🔥🔥🔥
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
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
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.
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.
Your perfume videos stand out with their unique and informative content. I appreciate the depth of information you provide, making your channel a valuable resource for fragrance enthusiasts like myself. And you just got a new follower cheers 👏
Thank you so much this is the best PDM review out there👋I’m a woman but I’m obsessed with : Layton ( I have 2 back up) Haltane ( 1 back up ) Herod Carlisle I need to add Oajan to the collection .
Great video Ash. I really wanted this type of video from you to know which ones i should look out for. Although Pegasus in rank 13 is wild haha. Could you do one for Amouage as well?
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.
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.
Loving PDM's... The only full bottle I have of PDM is Carlisle, And that's a great fragrance I love it and my sotd is Roberto cavalli Uomo Golden Anniversary the limited edition one that's probably the hardest one to find smells great love it (Edit: I noticed you didn't put Habdan into this list, that is one of my favorite PDMs along with Carlisle and Layton)
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.
I have 7 PDMs, then the video starts and 4 of my PDMs are in the bottom 5 😂😂 thankfully the other 3 are in the top 5….Hugely disagree on Kalan though, the opening is pretty weird but the dry-down is very pleasant and addictive..my own ranking: 8- Godolphin 7- Galloway 6- Percival (don’t have it now but tried and tested it many times before) 5- Pegasus 4- Kalan 3- Carlisle 2- Layton 1- Herod (tobacco king..ironically this was my least favorite PDM when I first got it)
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.
Layton is my favorite by far, and it is funny you said it possibly could be compared to a niche Boss Bottled. Because one of my favorite older scents is Boss #6.
Considering Ashton is a lover of Vetiver as a note I wonder what he thought of the discontinued Parfums de Marly Byerley which has vetiver being it's base
Funny how everyone is a little different. Pegasus is probably my absolute fav “non-fresher” scent of all time. My mom saw me smelling myself once and said “that looks like it is your olfactory happy place”. 😂
Need more of these kinds of videos for every house that exists. Use your massive collection like this instead of the same top 10 most sold videos or most popular videos please
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 👍
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
An overlooked PDM is Darley. Nothing too crazy about it, but for me it’s like a more refined JPG Le Male
Yes!!
I agree with your order for the most part. The one missing that is in my top 5 is Habdan.
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 👍
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 was bored and looking for a video to watch and then I got the notification for this video, thanks Ash!
Hello Ash, can you please do a ranking for Kilian. Really interested on your perspective on some of their fragrances. Thanks
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
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 actually enjoy Kalan quite a bit 😅
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.
Love this concept! You should do more of these
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
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.
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
Brilliant video, congrats.
I have tried only 11 PDM frags so far, this is my ranking:
🥇 Layton
🥈 Greenley
🥉 Layton Exclusif
4 - Althaïr
5 - Oajan
6 - Pegasus
7 - Herod
8 - Haltane
9 - Carlisle
10 - Percival
11 - Godolphin
100% agree with your top 3
Would move Greenley to number one, but other than that, great list.
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
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.
My favorite PdM is Oajan. Hands down.
Pegasus Exclusif is a #1 in my book!
Oajan #2
Layton #3
You’re a fantastic reviewer. Straight to the points, succinct, not try-hard, likeable.
Keep it up bro
Greenley is my most complimented frag out of great collection of around 90. It is a beastmode scent on my skin.
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.
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.
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!
Like the list. The one I really miss is Akaster. VERY curious to that one! It's the one that is not talked about.
EDIT: Okay... I got Akaster in from the UK. Unfortunately it is very hard to get in The Netherlands. But it is AMAZING!! Opening is indeed a bit harsh, but after a few minutes.. YOU'RE THE MAN! 😍
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 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.
Another great video, Ash! I’d love to see you rank the house of Amouage.
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.
Im rocking with Althair this fall/winter 🔥
Layton, Sedley and Percival are definitely the most mass appealing and therefore will get you the most compliments, that’s for sure 💯
Layton-Herod-Oajan-
These are my Top 3 but, PFM is pretty much my favorite niche fragrance. I love your bottom 3.
interesting
i went to the PDM storefront in NYC and spent about 3 hours with the marketing director for the company, trying lots and lots of scents. maybe the marketing director was biased and trying to oversell me on Galloway and Pegasus but i came away feeling like those two in particular worked on my skin the best.
that was many years ago now though, so i think i'm gonna full deep dive into getting my PDM (and all other fragrances) collection built back up, gonna start with Layton blind and go from there
i appreciate the comparison of, say, Lalique White to Galloway. while i appreciate the high quality of PDM in general, a 90% discount for a very similar scent is a no-brainer 😅
instant sub! looking forward to consuming much more of your content as i build back up my collection!
I always appreciate these ranking videos so I at least know where to start in what to buy.
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!
Great video. You influenced my choices for scent box I chose oajan for December and Layton exclusive for January. I know you won’t steer me wrong brother.. keep up the great work..🔥🔥🔥
Oajan is awesome. Great stuff. And I love Layton exclusif. That is my next full bottle from PDM I will get. It smells so expensive and high end!
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'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
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
Hey Ash! Love the video. Let’s do a top 10 of some other lesser known houses like Clive Christian, Argos, House of Oud, etc. etc.
Amazing video!! Do Initio next!
I'm loving that Drakkar has pride of place on the wall behind you!!!
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
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
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.
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.
I agree with your top 2, but no.3 for me would be Habdan, which you completely left out.
Habdan is awesome 👍
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
I agree with the list. I would’ve ranked Carlise. My top three Layton, Carlise, Percival in that order
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of this brand and have a blessed day
Greenley is definitely a top five. Great longevity.
Your perfume videos stand out with their unique and informative content. I appreciate the depth of information you provide, making your channel a valuable resource for fragrance enthusiasts like myself. And you just got a new follower cheers 👏
I think Godolphin is closer to Ombre leather by TF. Great vid! Thanks keep it up.
Awesome video Ash keep up the great work hats of to you love Parfum de Marley great stuff
Thank you so much this is the best PDM review out there👋I’m a woman but I’m obsessed with :
Layton ( I have 2 back up)
Haltane ( 1 back up )
Herod
Carlisle
I need to add Oajan to the collection .
Carlisle, Herod, Habdan, Nisean and Layton are my top 5. Own quite a few others but those to me, are the most defining.
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
Hey Ash, your top 5 is dead on!!!! Great video!!
Great video Ash. I really wanted this type of video from you to know which ones i should look out for. Although Pegasus in rank 13 is wild haha. Could you do one for Amouage as well?
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.
Recently got Althair and Haltane from Notino with 20% discount 😊
Love Greenly ❤
Excellent performance and positive feedback.
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.
Loving PDM's... The only full bottle I have of PDM is Carlisle, And that's a great fragrance I love it and my sotd is Roberto cavalli Uomo Golden Anniversary the limited edition one that's probably the hardest one to find smells great love it (Edit: I noticed you didn't put Habdan into this list, that is one of my favorite PDMs along with Carlisle and Layton)
I have tried all the niche and designer fragrances
Layton is the best I have ever tried in terms of scent and quality
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.
Habdan never gets the attention it deserves, imo. Its in my top 3 for sure with Carlisle and Herod. Keep the videos coming, Ash 👍
I have 7 PDMs, then the video starts and 4 of my PDMs are in the bottom 5 😂😂 thankfully the other 3 are in the top 5….Hugely disagree on Kalan though, the opening is pretty weird but the dry-down is very pleasant and addictive..my own ranking:
8- Godolphin
7- Galloway

5- Pegasus
4- Kalan
3- Carlisle
2- Layton
1- Herod (tobacco king..ironically this was my least favorite PDM when I first got it)
Try halt and it will probably be in your top 3
1: Oajan
2: Leyton
3: Greenly
You're all set 👌🏽
Man I love Kalan. Actually wore it today. It was 65° in Louisiana today. Got a compliment today.
That’s my signature scent
Habdan is about 6 for me. It knocked Michael Kors, Michael out of my autumn run!
Layton, Herod, Carlisle and Sedley are my PDMs covering all seasons.
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.
Great review!
Layton was my first niche fragrance 🔥
Layton is my favorite by far, and it is funny you said it possibly could be compared to a niche Boss Bottled. Because one of my favorite older scents is Boss #6.
I think Kalan is the only thing I’ve ever disagreed with on your opinion, I freaking love it!
1: Layton
2: Pegasus
3: Kalan
4: Carlisle
5: Oajan
6: Godolphin
7: Herod
8: Haltane
Hot tip. Layer Layton with Layton exclusif 2 to 1 and you get all the magic of both
Kalan gives me tons of compliments, is a beautiful smell
Great to the point take on the PDM ., pretty accurate 💯
Considering Ashton is a lover of Vetiver as a note I wonder what he thought of the discontinued Parfums de Marly Byerley which has vetiver being it's base
For me
1) CARLISLE (All Time Favorite)
2) HEROD
3) LAYTON
I have all 3.
I’m considering Layton Exclusif & Althair.
Herod. In fact, it's time for me to cop another bottle of it. Love it.
Greetings From Brazil, Herod and Layton are beasts
Funny how everyone is a little different. Pegasus is probably my absolute fav “non-fresher” scent of all time. My mom saw me smelling myself once and said “that looks like it is your olfactory happy place”. 😂
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.
So glad to see herod so high up on the list. I agree that layton is mass appealing but for me i like even a small bit of niche on me so it is herod
Need more of these kinds of videos for every house that exists. Use your massive collection like this instead of the same top 10 most sold videos or most popular videos please
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 👍
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)
