Top 5 Parfums de Marly Fragrances OF ALL TIME (for men) - Best Parfums de Marly

[@TranceForLyfe]

Layton was the only PDM I've had my nose on and instantly fell in love with it. Picked up the 125 ml at the beginning of the year for $200 and I gotta say, it is a workhorse in cold weather. You absolutely get what you pay for IMO.

@@dylanbaas495 i have some and i don't get that from cardamom. Been told by Aaron Terence Hughes it is Actually actual eucalyptus, and it is is pretty common in oriental fragrances to create projection but not everyone perceives eucalyptus as easily, which is why some only smell it as " vapo rub "

[@dannymartinez3600]

You’ve got to try Carlisle. If you love Herod and Layton I think you’ll love Carlisle. Although if I’m being honest the first time I smelled Carlisle, there was a note that bothered me. But then I revisited and it became one of my top fragrances. I had the same reaction with BR540. But now it’s also a favorite.

[@lettuce1305]

Add Carlisle today and you've got pretty much all of PdM's bangers, all though in my opinion Layton can be worn almost year round.

[@oHeihei]

I'm fairly new to fragrances, within my first year of taking it seriously, so I was buying some pretty basic ones at the start. Then I bought Layton to introduce me into niche and high end scents. At first it was just too much. Smelled incredible, but there was so much going on there my newbie nose didn't know how to handle it. Now that I've had it a few months, worn it many times, and have grown my collection I can really appreciate Layton so much more. It's beautiful, and I'm absolutely addicted. A bit too much. Sometimes I put it on just to run around the grocery store because I love smelling it, and I gotta chill with a fragrance that expensive haha.

[@lettuce1305]

When I first received my Layton I hated the opening and still kinda do cos it reminds me of Vicks Vaporub, however once its past the opening, the smell is incredible, one of my faves definitely.

[@ТоняЗаліська]

I'm in the minority I guess. Layton smells like Vick's to me, I can't get past that. My favorite is Pegasus

[@glacialfortress]

I am shattered that Fragranceusa don't deliver to australia. Thought I was going to replace my dropped Layton... Nice vid as usual Ash.

[@tuathade1586]

PDM has amazing fall / winter scents. I currently own Layton, Pegasus, Herod and Carlisle. Difficult to pick a favorite as it really depends on the mood and situation but a toss up between Herod and Layton.

[@AlexandStuff]

Have been using Layton as my personal daily over the past 3 years. Love it! Recently picked up Herod for the winter.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Oh Herod is GORGEOUS. You're going to get so many compliments with this one, what an elegant beast it is. You're going to smell...what's the word..."inviting". And that's a lovely thing to be able to do with fragrance. Not everyone finds a scent to add to their personal energy in this way, it's a fine calibration isn't it? To successfully match the idiosyncrasies of personality, aesthetics and body chemistry to the exact right fragrance offering out there is such a triumph, ha! In other words, you wear the fragrance not the other way around. It's why we all 'go niche' isn't it; to find something that really works as an esoteric wardrobe accessory and holds strange power. :)

[@AlexandStuff]

@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 I've worn it a few times already when we got some cooler days. I'm not in love with it. When my scent trail catches up with me I feel like I smell like a sweet ashtray.

@@AlexandStuff Oh no! That's disappointing. Some kind person in the comment section took the time to recommend Carner Barcelona's 'Rose & Dragon' to me, based on the notes I'd mentioned in a comment. I love a strong recommendation so I ordered a sample a few days ago and...on no, instead of a deep, leathery rosey oud the fragrance smells like a sour, metallic, rusty bucket. No, not the bucket itself; it smells like how I imagine the water to taste :D Horrible. I have to report this back to her now. :(

I recently found out my local mall have a specialty perfume store, so I went in to try ultramale. The lady starts recommending me creed, pdm and all sorts of niche stuff but as soon as I smell Herod I ignored all the other tester cards. I'm yet to smell anything so beautiful. Unfortunately I'm not in the budget to spend that much, but I still get whifs of the tester card now even though it was 3 days ago and everytime it's just daring me to splash on the whole bottle. What a magical scent.
