I've only tried new batches of Layton and Carlisle, so I have no point of reference in regards to projection and longevity, but I ended up buying and later returning them recently because no one could smell the scents on me after a little over an hour (bought from a dept store btw.)-- unlike all reviews made from two or so years ago rave about how they're both beast mode longevity,. I didn't know about the reformulations until after, but I can only assume the 82% bottles I got have been downgraded from older batches. I don't have the time to look for original bottles, so PDM ultimately lost a customer as quickly as it gained one. Sucks bc both fragrances smell amazing.
My faves for women are all the Delinas, Oriana, Cassili and Meliora; for men, it would be Layton, Oajan, Althair, Pegasus, Perseus and Greenley!!! I have so much respect for this house. 😊👍❤️
Adore Carlisle, it is also my number one from the house. Layton is right up there for me too, but so is Herod. I also really enjoy Oajan in the cooler weather.
I can only truly comment on one's I have in my collection. My order (very tough, I live them all!) 1 Layton 2 Carlisle 3 Herod 4 Pegasus Exclusive 5 Habdan (massively slept on) Tried many others at the PDM store in Covent Garden. Sedley is lovely, perhaps performance is only thing holding me from hitting the trigger.
I recently bought Herod. I experienced many of the fragrances in this video but with the help of the woman in a niche fragrance department we both came to the conclusion that Herod was a winner and exactly what I was looking for. It was featured on a ranking list in 4th place with a score of 8/10. As a rule I avoid the top picks because one of the reasons I began to use niche fragrances was because I did not want to smell like others.
I love Habdan, Oajan, and Greenly in addition to your list. I might have replaced Delina with Greenly. But I think the female-marketed bottles deserve their own list. Lots of greats in both categories!
I might be the only one here but my list goes like this: 1- Altahir 2- Layton 3- Herod 4- Layton Exclusif 5- Carslile 6-Haltane 7-Percival 8-Greesney 9-Pegasus
the OG Pegasus is so good. I surprisingly reach for it far more often than I thought I would. That coziness smooth creamy vibe to it is so intoxicating and addicting. I'm surprised you never mention it!
Good list. I don't know why but this video reminds me of Carlos, he called it on Carlisle back in the day and made me buy it. I actually LOVE Galloway for the summer it is not a typical freshie. The musk in the dry down is so good and last ages. Like Percival and Layton too. Personally I like PDM Spring to Autumn and Amouage Royal Tobacco and Jubilation in winter. Funny how PDM was more a winter house and for me became the summer house.
Pegasus is my favourite. It's just stunning in cooler weather. I am so over Layton. I have had it so long - 7 years - that it has completely lost it's allure. I'm going to remove it from my rotation for a couple years to see if absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Percival and Layton are my favorite for any day any occasion grab and go for going out Carlisle and I recently purchased Layton Exclusif after receiving a sample that smelled awesome
I dont get it why Haltane is still compared to OFG? In the opening they have some resemblances but they last a few seconds. After the opening they are completely different. Haltane is all about praline and Bergamotte and smells delicious and masculine, while OFG is safran, nutmeg and oud. I love Haltane and its my most worn scent. I use it in Spring, fall and winter, while OFG is only wearable in cold winterdays.
@@jts4248i see your comment now sorry if i am too sceptical but these frags are expensive and would like to know are they worth it since i own only 1 niche frag. Greetings from Serbia
@Marko9515 Me personally absolutely I love pdm,initio my favorite house. They have one of the best oils around. I have been collecting for a while now. People will complain about anything. They don't stop to think that the government makes it hard on all of them to make a fragrance
My list goes this way: 1. Carlisle 2. Herod 3. Oajan 4. Pegasus exclusif 5. Darley 6. Kalan 7. Kuhuyan 8. Greenley 9. Nisean 10. Akaster 11. Pegasus 12. Layton exclusif 13. Habdan 14. Sedley 15. Galloway 16. Percival 17. Godolphin 18. Layton 19. Shagya 20. Perseus 21. Byerley 22. Haltane 23. Hamdani 24. Lipizan 25. Althair 26. Ispazon i own everything except lippizan and ispazon,( too awful for my nose) Althair was a blind buy and find it so synthetic and simple, it causes me headaches, I'm so disappointed with that release, it's like mercedez benz club ten times pricier, it's my major regret to date. well, haltane was a disappointment too it's an expensive dupe of Initio oud for greatness. Thank god perseus (also a terre d'hermes dupe) ended up being solid at least projects 10 + hours
Pegasus Exclisiff is amazing for the office… it’s also currently at costco online for $249. Haltane is absolute beast mode. Layton is great too… But the one that gets me the most compliments from my wife is Carlisle. That is a great date night frag! Personally I bought two different bottles of Herod, and the sillage and longevity were terrible. If you want clean and professional go with Pegasus exclusiff, if you want woody beast mode go Haltane, if you want to have sex go with Carlisle :)
Herod would be my number one but they butchered the performance with a bad reformulation and it's just no longer worth the price. I wish they would discontinue it and release a new tobacco scent.
Just purchased a 4.2oz bottle of Herod. In the new box 😢design. Smells the same as my decant from awhile back but 4-5 sprays n it becomes a skin scent within 1hr. Very disappointing. I should’ve listen to the negative hype on reformulation…
Vallaya is far better for women. Perseus is very annoying to my nostrils despite my efforts. I wore it 4 times. Althair is cute but nothing more. Percival very nice easy going, finished my second bottle, but with no character. Easily it could have been any designer brand. Layton you understand the hype around it when it came out but a bit outdated. Haltane is far the best of Marly that anyone can pull out. Lastly, and as strange it may sound to a lot of viewers, Kalan is one I encourage people to try out (sampling always b4 buy). Beware before engaging in purchases that a lot of winterMarly perfums not mentioned above are quite nice but you will seldom use .
@@Redolessence Thank you, steven, for not judging and respecting other OPINIONS. It's just my opinion anyway. The fragrance for sure is mastercrafted and for many a masterpiece, I respect that too, it just isn't for me. Bless
Pdm,initio my favorite house! Love it they have the best oils around. Got althaïr when it came out and perseus love them. Also got narcotic delight as well love it. Hey we got a new oud for greatness coming soon. Haters are going to hate but they do on creed as well but can't take away that they make good shit
Haltane, is absolutely a must have for a man
PDM's the greatest. Oajan's perfect for the Chicago winter, and Carlisle is my go-to when traveling for work
MY favorite is Herod. But I also really like Carlisle, Percival and Darley too
Man these people kill me talking about the new batches. Y'all they still smell the same and the new batches are good.
Facts!! It's so annoying
@mrbutchie28 Dam right they get on my dam nerves with it

@@natanaelcarlos6369you are right … the main problem is you can not find a old batch of Layton with 78% … we are crushed
@natanaelcarlos6369 I have never had any problems with longevity my friend. My carlisle and layton last all day on me
My faves for women are all the Delinas, Oriana, Cassili and Meliora; for men, it would be Layton, Oajan, Althair, Pegasus, Perseus and Greenley!!! I have so much respect for this house. 😊👍❤️
Sedley, Herod, Layton and Carlisle are my faves from PDM. I am a fan of this house.
1. Herod
2. Layton Exclusif
3. Carlisle( I had this in the top 2 but there are too many tobacco fragrances that have similar DNA)
4. Layton
5. Haltane
Adore Carlisle, it is also my number one from the house. Layton is right up there for me too, but so is Herod. I also really enjoy Oajan in the cooler weather.
Totally agree!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of this brand and have a blessed day
#1 Carlisle #2 Althair #3 Layton exclusif
Agree with this. Can’t believe carlise wasn’t in this list
Herod has to be tied for Number 1 especially if it performed better there would be no contest. Layton Exclusif and Carlisle strong second.
@@chrisgilchrist3743 I’ve never smelt Herod but It doesnt sound very versatile to me . I’m just not a big honey fan
I can only truly comment on one's I have in my collection.
My order (very tough, I live them all!)
1 Layton
2 Carlisle
3 Herod
4 Pegasus Exclusive
5 Habdan (massively slept on)
Tried many others at the PDM store in Covent Garden. Sedley is lovely, perhaps performance is only thing holding me from hitting the trigger.
I appreciate you sharing these!!

Delina Exclusive is a very important childhood memory for me so it is at the top of the list of my favorites. ❤
PDM my favorite. Love It.
Awesome!
Oh yeah pdm,initio is my favorite house
Have a nice n blessed Memorial day weekend 🙏
Big fan of PDM!! Niche house with designer sensibilities!
They have one of the best oils around
Thank you for watching
the OG Pegasus is so good. I surprisingly reach for it far more often than I thought I would. That coziness smooth creamy vibe to it is so intoxicating and addicting. I'm surprised you never mention it!
I know. I included the Exclusif version instead
Love pegasus
Hows the performance of OG Pegasus new bottles?
I love the Delina Trio...and Oriana and i recently added Valaya...love this house ...Thank you for sharing
1.- Carlisle (no doubts here)
2.- Pegasus
3.- Oajan
4.- Layton
Thank you for sharing your list!!!

#1 Herod

#3 Haltane
Id say out of the three 1.Haltane 2. Layton 3. Herod. Herod is so weak, but it smells great.
Thank you so much for sharing this list!
your content is so underrated. simple, too the point, and percise. alos my fav pdm is also my "only choose one fragrance for life" is PDM Sedley
to*

Layton was the undisputted king for me... Until I tried Pegasus Exclusiff ❤❤❤
Percival and Layton are my favorite for any day any occasion grab and go for going out Carlisle and I recently purchased Layton Exclusif after receiving a sample that smelled awesome
Personal faves are Sedley for warm Altair for cold
Love Carlisle. Well done and thank you
The last one is my favorite i want to buy one for my son he’s 27 which one do you suggest ?
Hey Steven, let's see what made the list
My favorites are Carlisle, Herod and Oajan.
Are you by any chance going to be reviewing ATH Blue Fever? Thank you
Great list! Yes, I'll review Blue Fever soon!
Wait... Y'all are actually able to find it? Lol
@@SWTmel a friend of mine from the UK is coming to visit me and luckily he managed to get a few of ATH stuff to bring me
Agree. Carlisle is also mi favorite by a Mile ❤
I have Althair and Layton but have Herod and Oojan on my wish list!
which is best for warm weather/summer
Can Layton be worn in summer months
I reckon it’s an all year around fragrance,but during the summer I’d wear it at night.
Top 5:
Layton Exclusive
Herod
Sedley
Greenley
Carlisle
I dont get it why Haltane is still compared to OFG? In the opening they have some resemblances but they last a few seconds. After the opening they are completely different. Haltane is all about praline and Bergamotte and smells delicious and masculine, while OFG is safran, nutmeg and oud.
I love Haltane and its my most worn scent. I use it in Spring, fall and winter, while OFG is only wearable in cold winterdays.
I heard those fragrances are being reformulated, and Initio as well. Is that true?
They smell the same, but I think the concentration was decreased by a bit.
Yes still the same nothing wrong with the new batches
@@Redolessence okay thanks for reply. I really like side effect and i don’t know is it worth it full bottle..

Carlisle #1 for me
I heard Percival is the best seller 👀
Herod, layton, Pegasus in that order are my favorites.
They should make a Carlisle Cologne, like Creed did with Aventus. So I can smell like it all year round.
Such a good point!
Are the newer Sedley batches longer-lasting in your opinion?
My list goes this way:
1. Carlisle
2. Herod
3. Oajan
4. Pegasus exclusif
5. Darley
6. Kalan
7. Kuhuyan
8. Greenley
9. Nisean
10. Akaster
11. Pegasus
12. Layton exclusif
13. Habdan
14. Sedley
15. Galloway
16. Percival
17. Godolphin
18. Layton
19. Shagya
20. Perseus
21. Byerley
22. Haltane
23. Hamdani
24. Lipizan
25. Althair
26. Ispazon
i own everything except lippizan and ispazon,( too awful for my nose) Althair was a blind buy and find it so synthetic and simple, it causes me headaches, I'm so disappointed with that release, it's like mercedez benz club ten times pricier, it's my major regret to date. well, haltane was a disappointment too it's an expensive dupe of Initio oud for greatness. Thank god perseus (also a terre d'hermes dupe) ended up being solid at least projects 10 + hours
Althair grew on me. And gets me the most compliments together with Carlisle
That's an impressive Marly collection...must have set you back a few bucks !!!
Do u like more Sedley than Darley ?
Pegasus Exclisiff is amazing for the office… it’s also currently at costco online for $249. Haltane is absolute beast mode. Layton is great too… But the one that gets me the most compliments from my wife is Carlisle. That is a great date night frag! Personally I bought two different bottles of Herod, and the sillage and longevity were terrible. If you want clean and professional go with Pegasus exclusiff, if you want woody beast mode go Haltane, if you want to have sex go with Carlisle :)
Hows the performance of OG Pegasus new bottles?
Why is Carlisle more expensive than the rest of PDM
#2 Layton Exclusif
Awesome
Herod would be my number one but they butchered the performance with a bad reformulation and it's just no longer worth the price. I wish they would discontinue it and release a new tobacco scent.
Is this a specific order of ranking ?
I like pdm Layton and oajan are my favorite from the house so far
Habdan is a personal favourite of mine! It's a shame about the performance though, and understandably Layton, Carlisle & Oajan overshadow it.
My list: layton exclusif, herod, sadly, layton, perseus
Thank you for sharing!
Yesss Carlisle ❤❤❤❤
Glad you love it!
Oh yeah
Byerley and Kalan are slept on
True
Just purchased a 4.2oz bottle of Herod. In the new box 😢design. Smells the same as my decant from awhile back but 4-5 sprays n it becomes a skin scent within 1hr. Very disappointing. I should’ve listen to the negative hype on reformulation…
Pdm is the best.
What about Kalan? No place in the top 10?!
perseus straight up smells like light blue forever
For me
1) Layton
2) Oajan
3) Galloway
4)Kalan
5) Herod or Pegasus or Carlisle (i can't decide on number 5)
Keep up the great work
Herod and Oajan are more Male fragrance favorites...love these on a man.
Sedley and Haltane the best
Carlisle is very hard to beat
Kalan didn't make the list 😢
Althair is the best brother
Do you have a coupon code for Navitus Parfum Xenial limited edition?
Yes! It's STEVEN30
Thank you so much!
@@Redolessence Thank you so much
Oajan, Darley and Akaster didnt make the list👀👀👀

No Oajan!!! 😱😱
I know. =(
Carlisle a big no for me. Just cant seem to like it. Some note in there just doesnt feel right and overdone.
yea i immediately think of that bomb in a bottle "Red Tobacco" and I cant ever wear it.
I respect that
Some fragrances take a while to appreciate
💯 % agree!!!
@@Redolessence Thank you, steven, for not judging and respecting other OPINIONS. It's just my opinion anyway. The fragrance for sure is mastercrafted and for many a masterpiece, I respect that too, it just isn't for me. Bless
Marly Herod
Marly Oajan
Marly Carlisle
Marly Galloway
Marly Althair
Althair is overrated I think.., Im surprised Akaster or Nisean didn't make the list
I respect that
Pdm,initio my favorite house! Love it they have the best oils around. Got althaïr when it came out and perseus love them. Also got narcotic delight as well love it.

Love carlisle❤
Layton exclusif and Pegasus exclusif
#1 Kalan

This video needs to be twice as long!
