Happy Sunday Fragrance Fam, what's your SOTD - I'm rocking Sedley from PDM... My full thoughts on this NEW release in this video. Let me know if you have tried Sedley and what are your favorites from Parfums de Marly - comment below!
Enjoy your reviews, Max. I’ve recently discovered PDM. I’ve worn mostly Creeds since Aventus was released, but PDM is my new favorite house. I love Sedley and have worn it often. It doesn’t project or last as long as other PDMs, but that makes it good for occasions when you don’t want a strong fragrance others may object to, such as in the office. I reapply during the day and totally love the scent and its wearability. A beautiful composition!!
PDM is probably my favorite houses, I love their darker scents. Thank you for your honest opinion. Sometimes I wonder if some reviewers overhype fragrances. At some point I’ll try a sample.
I came across this one just a week or two ago (suprised me) and, while it is clean, fresh, and pleasant scent, I didn't particular find it to be exception and worth the asking price when they are so many other equally good or better designer choices out there. Enjoyed!
Awesome! I'll be in New York in October so I'll definitely stop by the boutique and stock up. Layton hands down my favorite. I dont even wear my aventus anymore. Carlise second favorite.
Great video max Forti, I try this fragrance out and it smell good and I wish it last longer on my skin I get 3-4 hours of longevity. Keep up the amazing fragrances work max Forti
Good review max , honestly disappointed sedley not what I expected from PDM I think The perfumer hamed marati doing great job for PDM hopefully his the perfumer for the upcoming one
I own Layton, exclusif, oajan, pegasus, carlisle and habdan and I see what you mean the scent is lackluster to me and from a sample I purchased I had to over apply to get even 5 hours of longevity...the smell is nice but this release is just a shadow of their heavy hitter genre
Fan of the house love Carlisle, Herod, Darly, Godolphin, Percival, and my favorite Habdan. Unlike many I don’t get anything from Layton and disliked Layton exclusif so much I sold it. Tried a sample of Sedley and immediately bought a full bottle far superior to Percival and Galloway in my opinion. Thanks for the great review.
Got a sample of this and didn’t like it at first - seemed too light. But then I tried it again and got a real appreciation for its divine dry down. Not sure about how long it lasts but it seems like it’s perfect for a fresh, light, breezy feel. Very casual but beautiful. Not too sweet or overpowering. Seriously considering getting a bottle.
Awesome review Max! You got me into the frag game this past December when I picked up my Aventus flacon from you in the FB fragcomm group. Now I’m deep into fragrances and I’m only 6 months in. Picked up Sedley on Thursday last week. Aventus Cologne on Friday... Office for Men yesterday (Saturday). Can you do a video to compare and share your thoughts on the 3 fragrances head to head? A video like that would get 1 million + views for sure! Thanks for this review. I agree with you. It does not project or have much longevity for me, but I like the scent profile nonetheless.
Good review, I can now discount PDM Sedley. I have Layton and Galloway so it would be redundant. SOTD is Tom Ford Fougere D'Argent (not too impressed with it so far) bought Oud Wood for my father as a birthday present, hope that has is better.
So I sampled this and my main problem with it was the projection and longevity were horrible. I'm also not one of those people that down plays the performance of frags either. I sprayed it multiple times over multiple nights and it did not perform. The scent itself is fine. A light summer MFK would be a much better buy than this by a mile as at least you would get something for your money.
Dud or Stud! LOL I could tell you liked it right off because a third of the bottle was already gone. I think it's a wonderful scent... one of my favorite freshies. Very close to (and haven't heard anyone say this) Chanel Allure Edition Blanche.
i agree. of course the marketing dpt of each company knows better, but 4 us there is a little drama over here. i would have more perfumes in my collection if the prices were more approachable..
Agree, way overpriced for a freshie that lacks performance 🤷♂️. Only fresh one i like is Galloway from this brand. Layton is alsof Meh for me,don't get all the hype on this one.
Wow, Mr. Max!!! From the sound of your review, it sounds like a lot of these fragrance houses need to stay with their specialty. My top 3 PDM frags are Godolphin, Herod, and Oajan.
I am not found of the PdM line. They do not stay on my skin. The only one that works is LAYTON, but Alexandria Fragrance has a longer lasting version which smells identical under the name of "Royal Equestrian" ..... much cheaper as well.
I agree. He probably hasn’t tried Carlisle or Layton Exclusif or Herod. Those 3 are beast mode. Even in super warm hot weather, those 3 won’t sweat 😓 off your skin.
Another great video. I came across one of your videos 2 months ago became a fan. I have made quite a few purchases from your BBB videos. I went from 3 colognes to 20 in 2 months. What do you recommend trying to get dad couple bottles he's 61 has been using Polo Blue forever give me something that similar smell? Thanks
I went to my local Nordstrom’s last week. When the sales associate saw me testing Sedley, she approached me and asked me if I had smelled Galloway as she preferred it to Sedley. Personally, I went with Sedley and have been enjoying it for a few days. I have worn it for two days thus far and yesterday I wore Aventus Cologne to compare the two. Today I’m going to try Office for Men since I just got it last night. I think these are the big 3 frags to compare for summer 2019. Very curious to see which one will be the winner. My favorite PDMs are Layton Exclusif, Carlisle... and most recently, Herod.
Max Forti true , or atelier cologne or guerlain aqua allegoria, I was just wondering of the house that are known for winter beast master pieces which one puts out the better freshies
I'm Highly disappointed with this one. Blind bought this one (heavily discounted) because I love the house. I haven't worn it out the house yet but so far it's probably at the bottom of the PDM lineup. Definitely try before you buy.
Buzz Boonay It smells like a muted Fougere with a very slight mint whiff that immediately goes away. Nothing new. I wouldn’t even call it fresh. Bottle should be green instead of blue. I love me some PDM. But this one let me down.
Robert i couldn’t agree more. I keep smelling the herbal notes more than anything. It smells like a forest with some lemon trees in there. Like voodoo.
I find PDMs unimaginative and premium quality knock offs of other fragrances where intricate details are sacrificed for the sake of longevity. So SADLY could be any of them, except for Layton and maybe Pegasus. But I know you are a fan, so this must be really bad :)
Exactly….you all the same it’s about what you like or not ..what if i like it iam wrong ?? … you may not like it but what about your followers ? Why not a non selfish perspective and let us decide …i guess the clicks are more important…
I guess you will never review freshies favorably as you prefer darker scents. Ok then I'll watch your videos only when I'm looking for darker/heavy perfumes review.
It really isn't anything special. Smells a lot like Polo Big Pony 3 (green) with about as poor of performance. I don't think it's anywhere close to Galloway or Percival. Those two are in totally different leagues than Sedley. Sedley has a bug spray kind of smell to it. Def not worth the money IMO.

Prada L'homme
I got a sample and I've received a lot of compliments when I wore it. Ladies love it

I love honest non sponsored reviews
Nice review Max. I appreiate the honesty in your reviews. Performance on this one seems below average for the price.
I really love Sedley , this was my 1st PDM I purchased ever
Byerley is my favorite fragrance from this house.
I came across this one just a week or two ago (suprised me) and, while it is clean, fresh, and pleasant scent, I didn't particular find it to be exception and worth the asking price when they are so many other equally good or better designer choices out there. Enjoyed!
Jim R I would have to agree!
Awesome! I'll be in New York in October so I'll definitely stop by the boutique and stock up. Layton hands down my favorite. I dont even wear my aventus anymore. Carlise second favorite.
Great video max Forti, I try this fragrance out and it smell good and I wish it last longer on my skin I get 3-4 hours of longevity. Keep up the amazing fragrances work max Forti
CASUAL FRAGRANCES thanks Chris
Sedley is a good freshie high quality. Layton is my favorite from the house.
You already killed the juice max!!! It’s half already
LOL - I shared it with others that's why! :) But yeah, I used it quite a bit over the course of a few days...
All of my perfumes are almost empty too coz I’m always sharing decants with ppl. But nobody ever shares with me.
Thanks for your opinion. Always appreciated.
Good review max , honestly disappointed sedley not what I expected from PDM I think The perfumer hamed marati doing great job for PDM hopefully his the perfumer for the upcoming one
You had me at the thumbnail!
I own Layton, exclusif, oajan, pegasus, carlisle and habdan and I see what you mean the scent is lackluster to me and from a sample I purchased I had to over apply to get even 5 hours of longevity...the smell is nice but this release is just a shadow of their heavy hitter genre
hi Wich One is you favorite os Marly and wich the second!?
Herod , godolphin and Latin exclusive are my favorites from this brand. I agree with your thoughts and great video !
Fan of the house love Carlisle, Herod, Darly, Godolphin, Percival, and my favorite Habdan. Unlike many I don’t get anything from Layton and disliked Layton exclusif so much I sold it. Tried a sample of Sedley and immediately bought a full bottle far superior to Percival and Galloway in my opinion. Thanks for the great review.
You had me at aquatic alien man! I love the flanker Alien Man Fusion more though.
Can’t wait to try the fusion!
Ambergris/ambroxan is my current favorite note so this might be right for me.
Got a sample of this and didn’t like it at first - seemed too light. But then I tried it again and got a real appreciation for its divine dry down. Not sure about how long it lasts but it seems like it’s perfect for a fresh, light, breezy feel. Very casual but beautiful. Not too sweet or overpowering. Seriously considering getting a bottle.
At least they actually touched up the fragrance & made this perform better
It’s a minty soapy fresh scent. Too bad it last 2-3 hours becoming mostly a skin scent. I’m sure they’ll come out with an Intense version.
Awesome review Max! You got me into the frag game this past December when I picked up my Aventus flacon from you in the FB fragcomm group. Now I’m deep into fragrances and I’m only 6 months in.

Thanks for this review. I agree with you. It does not project or have much longevity for me, but I like the scent profile nonetheless.
My favorite PDMs are Layton Exclusif, Carlisle, and as of last week ... Herod. Now I have Sedley as a totally new twist to the PDM lineup.
I will have to check this out in Nordstrom in Toronto. It wasn't there last time I checked
Thank god an honest review ... so many shill reviewers for this house!
Good review, I can now discount PDM Sedley. I have Layton and Galloway so it would be redundant. SOTD is Tom Ford Fougere D'Argent (not too impressed with it so far) bought Oud Wood for my father as a birthday present, hope that has is better.
Very informative! Some reviewers tend to be all positive/not differentiated enough about any given fragrance they review. This is the better approach.
Great video max. You use a lot it's almost half. I hope you like it. I hope I will try it.
Completely agree with the short performance. Could not smell it after two hours.
So I sampled this and my main problem with it was the projection and longevity were horrible. I'm also not one of those people that down plays the performance of frags either. I sprayed it multiple times over multiple nights and it did not perform. The scent itself is fine. A light summer MFK would be a much better buy than this by a mile as at least you would get something for your money.
Thanks Max very informative. Keep up the great content brother. 👊👊👌👌👍👍
Mario J. Casas thanks
My favorite from PDM is Layton, I enjoy it a lot!
Very useful video max tanks
Very good review.
Good review with diplomatic opinion
Dud or Stud! LOL I could tell you liked it right off because a third of the bottle was already gone. I think it's a wonderful scent... one of my favorite freshies. Very close to (and haven't heard anyone say this) Chanel Allure Edition Blanche.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day
Smells great but that price and performance and basic designer vibe dont match up.. This should be $120 at best. Hard Pass
i agree. of course the marketing dpt of each company knows better, but 4 us there is a little drama over here. i would have more perfumes in my collection if the prices were more approachable..
Agree, way overpriced for a freshie that lacks performance 🤷♂️. Only fresh one i like is Galloway from this brand. Layton is alsof Meh for me,don't get all the hype on this one.
Its great if you want a designer mass appealing type smell, with niche quality and a touch of niche uniqueness.
@@joshsmith7812 sounds like something most people would want or like.😂
Thanks for keeping it 100
Wow, Mr. Max!!! From the sound of your review, it sounds like a lot of these fragrance houses need to stay with their specialty. My top 3 PDM frags are Godolphin, Herod, and Oajan.
14 Parfums de Marly fragrances....ok, I'm envious.
Pass. Too pricey for essentially a designer scent.
Excelente reseña mi estimado #Max!!!
boa noite Max
poderia me dar informações de perfume ?
projeção e longevidade ?
é para o verão ?
obrigado.
Thanks for your wisdom Max. If I was to spend PDM dollars for summer day time , what do you recommend? Doesn’t have to be niche necessarily.
Great review Max 🙂 I am currently exploring The Marly line and just pick up Layton and very pleased.. have great rest of weekend stay blessed
Thanks Rob, you too - Layton is amazing!
I am not found of the PdM line. They do not stay on my skin. The only one that works is LAYTON, but Alexandria Fragrance has a longer lasting version which smells identical under the name of "Royal Equestrian" ..... much cheaper as well.
100 % sure you havent tried the best one Carlisle because that one is guaranteed 10 -14 hours on skin layton stand no chance imo.
I agree. He probably hasn’t tried Carlisle or Layton Exclusif or Herod. Those 3 are beast mode. Even in super warm hot weather, those 3 won’t sweat 😓 off your skin.
@@laoc5270 yes

Cele Chavez hey, I appreciate the support. How about Dolce&Gabbana light blue or Bentley Azzure. I think he’ll really enjoy those!
It was on discount in maxaroma but now it's not available
Thanks for the info! Gonna pass in this one✌️
Keep up the great job , is shagya any good
CaLi Reviews it is, however I believe it’s being discontinued along with Byerley...
I wasnt aware thanks im gonna put that on the short list
Nicely reviewed........
Yes ! Needed this, been torn which PDM for summer -Sedley or Galloway!?
Hey Jacob, give the 2 choices I would go with Sedley for sure...
I went to my local Nordstrom’s last week. When the sales associate saw me testing Sedley, she approached me and asked me if I had smelled Galloway as she preferred it to Sedley. Personally, I went with Sedley and have been enjoying it for a few days. I have worn it for two days thus far and yesterday I wore Aventus Cologne to compare the two.

My favorite PDMs are Layton Exclusif, Carlisle... and most recently, Herod.
LA OC thank you for the feedback ! I love Herod ! Want to try Office for men as well.
Of the two heavy fragrance houses pdm and amouage which house does better freshies ?
I would go with Acqua di Parma or Creed instead for freshies...
Max Forti true , or atelier cologne or guerlain aqua allegoria,
I was just wondering of the house that are known for winter beast master pieces which one puts out the better freshies
High heat summer it shines
I'm Highly disappointed with this one. Blind bought this one (heavily discounted) because I love the house. I haven't worn it out the house yet but so far it's probably at the bottom of the PDM lineup. Definitely try before you buy.
What didnt you like about it?
Buzz Boonay It smells like a muted Fougere with a very slight mint whiff that immediately goes away. Nothing new. I wouldn’t even call it fresh. Bottle should be green instead of blue. I love me some PDM. But this one let me down.
Robert i couldn’t agree more. I keep smelling the herbal notes more than anything. It smells like a forest with some lemon trees in there. Like voodoo.
You don’t consider Darley as a fresh fragrance?
Seems like PERCIVAL and GALLOWAY are much much better...
how you would compare that with Creed aventis
I bought mine from FragranceX - cheaper than retail.
Do a Gimme Five from this House. Please!!!!! Mine would Layton, Godolphin, Pegasus, Herod, and Percival
I find PDMs unimaginative and premium quality knock offs of other fragrances where intricate details are sacrificed for the sake of longevity. So SADLY could be any of them, except for Layton and maybe Pegasus. But I know you are a fan, so this must be really bad :)
9 months. No like. So sad
Layton,pegasus is my favorite Love...
Layton exclusif full size coming up soon
He called it sadly throughout the video 😂 I got the new reformulate version solid 6 hours
Believe it or not its on fragrancex right now 🤔 that was quick ehh lol
Wow 😲. Already!?! That’s crazy fast
@@laoc5270 ya thats what I thought, it wasn't discounted all that much but its there 🤔🤷♂️
Expensive too, even with the discount.
I just saw the price 😳. That’s more than what I paid for it and more than retail MSRP 😳😳😳
@@laoc5270 really?!? 🤣🤣🤣 thats odd I never looked at the retail price it did see astronomically high for a PDM
Hi Max
It kinda reminds me of Calvin??
Does this smell like Hugo Boss - Infinite?
no, it doesn't
sucks that the performance is so lackluster :/
Exactly….you all the same it’s about what you like or not ..what if i like it iam wrong ?? … you may not like it but what about your followers ? Why not a non selfish perspective and let us decide …i guess the clicks are more important…
Is this similar to Acqua Di Gio Profumo?
It's smells like Avon roll-on ..only it doesn't last as long
Layton all the way
Performance 5/10 not good for a £200 scent. Smells moody and fresh.
Wow, that's terrible performance at that price. I need at least 5 hrs just on skin and should get 6 - 12+ on clothes, for sure.
I guess you will never review freshies favorably as you prefer darker scents. Ok then I'll watch your videos only when I'm looking for darker/heavy perfumes review.
Sadly, price LOL!
It really isn't anything special. Smells a lot like Polo Big Pony 3 (green) with about as poor of performance. I don't think it's anywhere close to Galloway or Percival. Those two are in totally different leagues than Sedley. Sedley has a bug spray kind of smell to it. Def not worth the money IMO.
Alien Man is Horrific!! If this smells like that then I will pass
Literally smells like a soap bar
It smells like cheap men’s aftershave. Not liking this Sedley
I think this is the only one that sucks. Don't hype it please it sucks
smells just like Percival..
I said the same thing. Except this one is not as good as Percival. Percival has more substance and longer lasting
