[@alikolahdooz8018]

The thing I love about PDM is that there is a favorite for anyone, just look at the comments. You surely find what you like among the fragrances. One may like Carlisle better, the other one is a Pegasus fan. That's a noteworthy characteristic of the brand. As a person from the orient, the strong spice especially saffron vibe of Kalan, later turning into a smoky woody scent makes it a favorite of mine.

[@KunaiKrazy]

Kalan is a dark horse. Really, it smells like a sweet and spicy bell pepper at first then spicy sweet with the pepper smell fading away. I think if you are in a Latino heavy area, it'll just work for you and "makes sense" if you're the type of person who wears fragrances depending on location and occasion.

[@patriciogarcia690]

Carlisle has a gorgeous smell. The opening is dark but smooth. The dry-down is so powdery and delicate; I love it. When I finish the payment of my Amouage B. Iris, I'll definitely get a full bottle.

[@dqyler]

Big fan of HALTANE, that left a lasting impression after smelling it! I've tried Layton on skin and it was basically dead and gone after 1hr. I really enjoyed Layton exclusive and wearing Herod today, which is really really nice! Great video

[@kILLuMBuS]

Haltane is underrated

[@wisecoonie]

As Haltane is said to be a clone of Oud for greatness, and Lattafa Oud for Glory a cheap clone of Oud for greatness, could the last one also be a good alternative to Haltane?

[@dqyler]

​@@wisecoonie to answer your question, I've sprayed one on each wrist and they are not really that close. Haltane smells much richer, woodier, saffron and oud. Oud for glory reminded me of Haltane the 1st time I smelled it but side by side they're not close. Parfums de marly and initio are sister companies so oud for greatness might be closer. Oud for glory is fantastic for the price though

[@wisecoonie]

@@dqyler Thank you for your answer!

[@TheMadKollektah]

This is the video i was waiting for. PDM is slowly becoming my favorite house. So far i got Layton, Oajan and my personal favorite Carlisle. And i love all of them. I sampled Herod but that one didn't do much for me. I got samples of Pegasus and Godolphin droppin in soon. Very excited to get my nose on those.

[@jimlittle5769]

You and I are in the minority cause Herod doesn't nothing for me.

[@dibis2scents854]

My wife and I picked out each other's wedding day scents. Oajan was the one she picked for me. 10/10 and my favorite in my collection for sentimental reasons. Ironically I picked out Delina Exclusif for her.

Love Carlisle. I’m new to the fragrance world so I won’t act like I know about notes, but it is very very similar to the scents of a surf shop I used to go to that’s no longer around. Leather sandals, surf wax, something to cover up the smell of weed, little bit of an edge. Perfect.

Thank you for this segment covering all the fragrances.. I’ve tried most of the popular choices (samplea) like Layton & Perceval but my nose just loves Haltane.. I recently bout a bottle (yes, too expensive) because I could smell this one daily.. so I really got this for myself

[@JohnDoe-zw8nq]

Carlisle is still one of the best niche scent's I have smelled so far

[@romancarrillo462]

Layton Exclusif is more appreciated in the fragrance community but not so much by the "average" pop . I have seen people trying to return Layton Exclusif once they bought it and used it . A score of 9/10 is high , perhaps 7/10 is fair . Congratulations for your channel, it's very entertaining .

Layton Exclusif is definitely not one for the kiddos.

This video came in time for me, I really needed such a comprehensive review of PDM 🤓 Thanks Omar

[@Jay-E-Beeza]

Good vid! I just ordered blind Layton Exclusif and Pegasus Exclusif. Supposed to be here Friday! I already have big bottles of Layton, Percival, and Sedley. Decants of several others. Planning on getting Greenley by spring. Kalan is the only one that I can’t get myself to wear…yet anyway. Also got my daughter that’s at college Delina last year. Ope, forgot I have the small bottle of Herod as well. I agree with your review on it, it’s good, but not the best tabacco I have. Probably end up with Carlisle next after your (and others) great reviews.

[@pjlewis8089]

What’s wrong with Kalyan? I keep hearing it’s a hit or a miss 🤨

[@Jay-E-Beeza]

@@pjlewis8089 If a guy wearing a very expensive suit, $1000 shoes, gets out of a Bentley to go into a shopping mall, when the whole place smells him instantly, they would think “that guy owns the property that every mall has been built on and he smells…interesting. He obviously doesn’t care what anyone thinks”. If a guy wearing it has on jeans, running shoes, and tshirt gets out of any car that is less than 1/4 mil $, the whole mall would instantly smell him and think he fell into a vat of chemicals and probably call hazmat. I exaggerate, but I couldn’t get the smell out of my kitchen for weeks from the overspray of one test. That was mid summer so honestly that probably ruined it for me.

[@tylerdurden4575]

[@noeidee924]

Just got my Haltane. Smelling it side by side with Oud For Greatness, I found it less woody, less sweet and creamier than OFG. I think it is better than OFG. Might be redundant to have both, but if I need to give up one of them, I’ll let go of OFG. I also like Kalan. Maybe I’ll get a bottle before Christmas just so I can have Christmas colored PDMs in my display shelf. 😂

Hello Omar and the community, here is my question: When you want to establish a collection out of 5 scents, do you think Parfums de Marley would fit? Like 1 scent for every occasion/day/night/officesafe, 1 scent for spring/summer/officesafe, 1 scent for autumn/winter/officesafe, 1 scent for dates/night and daytime and 1 scent for special occasions/leatherjacket. Would love to hear your opinion. With kind regards, Julian

I own Darley and I like it; it really reminds me of a lovechild between Le Male, Original Santal and Reflection Man; I find it to be very versatile, it's definetely a fragrance you can wear all year around and in close enviroments, such as an office. Not sure if I'd buy it at full retail, but I got it for 120 € from discounters, worth every cent!

[@kerem9508]

I was really excited to try carlisle since a lot of people hyped it, and when I smelt it, I hated it. I thought it was wayyy too heavy and synthetic. However, I think almost all the fragrances from this brand are great and I bought Haltane that day, and started getting crazy compliments straight away. 11/10 fragrance.

[@oisnowy5368]

Indeed, you don't _have_ to buy _every_ PdM fragrance. Didn't mind getting some of them. Sad to see Herod being underrated in this video. Yes, it's smooth and therefor not complex. And linear, but... any direction it could develop in would be the wrong one anyway. I think Greenley, Sedley and Percival do stand out well from one another. They're really easy to keep apart. They're just less of Omar's style it seems. Doesn't matter, just get samples. And take whatever you like. I find Godolphin semi-attractive. Haven't had a real sample from it... but the bottle is golden and highly reflective. Under the right (or rather wrong) lighting it can even be painful to look at. Plus it gets covered by fingerprints, just looking at it. Again, nothing against the fragrance, but I do think it's one thing to keep in mind if you want to put it on a shelf.
