[@origins777]

This format is what ive been waiting for.

[@phlip9037]

Gotta do a part 2 or at least include Oajan. Out of all the PDMs, that's the one that interests me the most. Definitely a fan of this kind of content!

[@tylero2112]

Oajan hitssss ! Herod and oajan by far my favorite 2. Waiting on a herod exclusif

[@WernersShop]

oajan doesnt really have a clone unfortunately, Closest one ive tried is Khaltat night. This one however has a cherry note. It smells like a blend of Angels Share and Lost cherry

[@KidTr4p]

shaghaf oud azraq is a great alternative; i wouldnt say clone as its spicier, sweeter and richer

[@williamnorman2504]

Oajan has fragrance World Legion and another one called Apple Crumb Alexandria Fragrances

[@chrisballard5743]

​@@WernersShopFragrance World Legion is their clone.

[@hillardschlachman6610]

The best Sedley clone that blows away Maahir Legacy is Fragrance World Posh Sirius . Higher quality then Legacy and much longer lasting . Problem is that it is rarely in stock and usually sold out . The closest clone of Althair is from Scentual Obsessions called Eagle Star . 90% + similar and just from a smaller Indie house that does incredible clones from their exact matches line !

[@michaelmaggi7637]

Maison Alhambra does an outstanding job with all their PDM clones. Hercules (Herod), Perseus (Pegasus), Cassius (Carlyle) are all excellent dupes that can be had for less than $20 delivered.

[@tpm0634]

Yes I have Hercules and I love it. Last 8+ hours and smells 85% similar

[@koryverde]

Less than 20 where

[@tylero2112]

​@@tpm0634really?? 8 hour herod? I'm gonna have to buy it.

[@jerrypena4086]

I have them all and they are great. I also got them anywhere from 18 to 20 dollars

[@meequalsmc2]

Tried Hercules didn't like it went back to it after 4 weeks and it was amazing. Went back to the seller I asked him the price of 20 bottles of Hercules. Paid 13 quids each bottle. But now I know it's a waste because you don't need too many sprays as I was thinking before. Six sprays the Max and the stuff on me stays at least 10 to 12 hours

[@johandoe895]

I habe 7 of the clones.mentioned...Great video One missing....Blue exclusif by haramain fornthe layton clone....almost no diff

[@vyanchev9639]

[@BillyPeraza]

I am so glad you finally mentioned Aether Extrait because I am a HUGE Greenley fan, and was looking for a clone...even tried one of the Alexandria fragrances... got Aether and was blown away! I can now wear my favorite cologne DNA to the gym without feeling guilty 😃

[@LukeTruth-vm3du]

Love these types of videos where you compare clones to the original fragrance. Keep them coming! 👍🏾

[@kodiak0318]

This video right here is what I really wanted! Thanks Ash!

[@moneyparhar]

I bought amber oud from clone of layton it's was very nice and then I bought layton. I prefer amber oud. It's more potent and long lasting. Smells 99 percent same.

[@joelwatene956]

Agree I also own amber oud exclusif bleu so worth it!

[@Tank721]

I love Maahir Legacy, such a beast mode love the green and metallic notes

[@alekmanukyan7986]

For layton try: Royal Bleu Orientica Premium, I heard it was the best clone.

[@carder247]

Althair best clone is from alexandria fragrances, vanilla stallion. Smells exactly like it.

[@SIRE001]

Can we get a Gent Scents x Cubaknow collab video? The yourubes needs it

[@Neptun0]

A really high quality clone for Haltane is Shaghaf oud Royale from Swiss Arabian, it smells amazing.

[@trinivagrant]

Thanks for that, I enjoy the DNA and was thinking of getting Eco but I think Swiss Arabaian Royale will be higher quality.

[@AussiesFragranceTalk]

Armaf craze is the worst fragrance I’ve ever put my nose to. Pegasus and the Exclusif are very nice.

[@d-train258]

Im with you on this one. It smells terrible and I never wore it again, I fell for the hype.

[@bonecrusherhenriques7260]

Smells like insect spray 😂

[@alexanderdf5704]

Oajan is my favourite

[@phlip9037]

Hopefully this one will be in part 2. The only clone I know of is the one from Fragrance World and it's never in stock.

[@YkitsTim]

@@phlip9037 what’s the name of it?

[@WernersShop]

@@phlip9037 what is it called?

[@ManwithScents]

Ainash Athan is an excellent alternative to PDM Althair also!🔥🔥🔥

[@GoobieWoobie69]

I got Detour Nior quite a while ago and its been sitting for a hot minute and still Im not sure how i feel about it. That Vicks Vapor rub smell that Layton comes with in the opening is defintely amped up in Detour Nior. Also Layton has more quality and apparent apple/vanilla too. I also get pretty dam poor performance from Detour Nior. Its hard because they are both no doubt very similar but The quality from Layton is noticably higher (which is of course expected given the drastic price difference). Might just be me but i would no doubt recommend Detour Nior if the performance was better.

[@power279]

Thank you..this is what i need!! Andddd...AOT IS THE BEST ANIME SINCE THE LAST 5 YEARS. GOAT TIER.

[@KenZonca]

I recently purchased Maison Alhambra's clones of PDM fragrances such as Hercules (Herod), Pegasus (Percival), Cassius (Carlisle) and Galatea (Godolphin). All have 4+ scores on Fragrantica and smell great to me. Ash, what do you think of the Maison Alhambra clones of PDM?

[@streavel7]

How's the clone for percival?

[@KenZonca]

@@streavel7 I made a mistake on what I thought I had. I have Maison Alhambra's Perseus which is a clone of PDM Pegasus. It's a nice very almond forward scent. Don't have the OG to compare it to.

[@raymondkelley6163]

Galatea smells awful

[@jai3064]

@@KenZoncaLet mine macerate for about 8 months after pumping 10 sprays out. And man. Spot on.. Id like it better then the alternatives on here..🔥💯

[@LocktIn]

Hercules (Herod) sadly is just way too bland. I just get a kind of nauseating vanilla. Not complex or rich enough.

[@Chris6815]

I’m definitely all for this buying guide. I will be taking notes. Some PDM clone wars would be great also 👍🏻

[@stdavies23]

Layton Bahara bleu Orientica royal blue

[@DonDashVEVO]

For Haltane, get Bade’e Al Oud & for Pegasus get Maison Alhambra - Perseus

[@gaetanguimond7213]

Thanks men, keep doing what you are doing, much appreciated. Remind us to click like button, we can forget.

[@KarlSwaggerfeld]

Love this video please please do more buying guides in this style. Awesome video as always my friend

[@hillardschlachman6610]

Imo. a superior PDM Greenley clone to Aether is from the underrated House Barrett’s . The fragrance is called Vervantaville and is 90% close , high quality , and reasonably priced .

[@rogergonzalez9295]

That addictive chemical in PDM Althair is..❄️❄️ 😅😅

[@damelos4039]

GREAT video as usual!! Keep doing more of these.

[@thefeniksflight]

As far as PDM Layton goes, there's two that I'd go with: Luxodor Loyal Agar and Al Haramain Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu. Loyal Agar isn't super close (probably looking at no more than 85% similarity), but this one is beast-mode. Easily 12+ hours and doesn't disappoint. Exclusif Bleu is as close as it gets, so I'm surprised that this was looked over, considering the popularity it once had!

[@grandpa203]

Yeah I feel like he's done a video on that one in the past and was trying to suggest newer releases but I agree don't know how that wasn't mentioned

[@trytoneee]

You should try the Maison Alhambra clones of PDM fragrances too

[@youzername]

I hear they're basically skin scents. What are your thoughts?

[@trytoneee]

@@youzername i have cassius (carlisle) and hercules (herod) and they smell amazing and last and project a lot

[@youzername]

@trytoneee hmm, you're the only person I've seen with that take. I'll have to check them out. Thankfully, they're cheap enough to take the risk, haha. I appreciate the response; thank you.

[@trytoneee]

@@youzername no problem man. i do use at least 3 sprays (3-5)

[@ARa-dr3nj]

Great video. Can you do more like this. OG with best dupe

[@Q_N-]

I’m still using Dusk as my Layton replacement, will probably try north stag soon. Not a big fan of Detour though

[@grandpa203]

I've almost finished my bottle of Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu which is also an great clone of Layton just a bit more expensive. How does the North Stag clone compare to that one?

[@arnaldoenriquez6191]

My 2 cents (ha scent) Kalan -> Versace Eros Enflame Kalan > Eros imo, however eros is stronger, in my experience it felt like it was choking me The cinnamon is brutal

[@danielthecoolman3579]

I miss when PDM fragrances where easily available for under for $200 (except Carilsle) Tho the Althair clone seems intriguing. Really liked Althair but I don't think it's worth the price compared to the other PDM's

[@Cole_Floyd]

Get liquid brune its identical to althair

[@josepmasa7387]

Great, great, great review Ash! Certainly sometimes clones are better than the original ones.

[@dakotabrown2538]

I bought the entire PDM sample kit. So I’ve smelled Pegasus ALOT, it’s actually one of my favorite fragrances. I love it, but anyways I found a clone of it. It’s called Picasso by Fragrenza & it’s LITERALLY a 1 to 1 clone. It’s around $60-$70 & totally worth it in my opinion. You should check it out man!!!

[@KillianWinterfell]

Don't forget about Armaf Edition One Man Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce are both excellent PDM Percival clones and Lalique White is a decent PDM Galloway clone =)

[@KetoTony]

What is the PDM Oajan clone? It was Fragrance House Legion, but it is no longer available anywhere.

[@jserrano316]

I need this too...for a backup to the original.

[@hazeleye06]

@ketoTony I would like to know the name of the clone also! Thanks!

[@saurabhrajsinha]

Try Swiss Arabian oud Royal it's the best clone for PDM haltane

[@shakinlaw1406]

Love Love Love your videos man! Always great creative content!

[@wreckingcrew82]

Ash.... can you do a video on the best tobacco and leather fragrances? An updated list possibly

[@JaySmith-pv2mw]

I just got Maahir Legacy. It's a great scent for about 1/12 the cost of Sedley.

[@johnny7611]

Borouj might be high quality and closer, but I would go with red tobacco. It’s more mass appealing.

[@GetsugaTensho1265]

This is a hidden gem in my opinion and it’s L'or Gold Perfume Set Unisex by Parfums Lomani. It gives the same fragrance as Althair but at a cheaper price !!

[@pimpineasy1100]

Hey ash how's it going. Love the content, passion and the work ethic. I Can't find aether extrait anywhere except resellers. What gives?

[@JAYMOAP]

The best layton clone is zimaya royal paragon. Also its cost peanuts 25$ or so.

[@bobbyvillano7762]

Great channel & content! Just wandering if you came across any clones for the house of PANTHEON ROMA …fragrances “R” or Nerone? Thanks man

[@propertyphotography]

Great Vid Ash, very informative my friend

[@jnb22019]

Zara Vetiver Pamplemousse = Perseus, plus it came out before and is cheap.

[@denvenom4011]

👏👏Thank you very much Ash, as always everything is top notch👍😎🔥💯

[@Narcissist_Police]

Fragrance fanatics don’t let other fragrance fanatics buy clones. Don’t do it! It’s an insult to the perfumer!!!!

[@catharticedc]

Ash, try the Dua Brand inspo of Perseus. It’s quite fab

[@bellantwain21]

Nice review and choice's love the video Gents Scents stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

[@Redbeard013]

I'm curious what is the opening like for Legacy? In your review of Eco you mentioned how it was very different from Haltane during the opening. As it went into the mid and dry down it became spot on, but that opening was different. How does the opening of Legacy compare to Eco and Haltane itself? I'm also curious how the North Stag one compares to The Woods Natural Dusk. You had mentioned previously that was probably your favorite Layton clone as it got closer than Detoir Noir. SO I'm curious where the North Stag sits compared to Dusk.

[@alexyordanov7407]

Which one from Nitro Blue and Armaf Craze is more powerful and longer lasting?

[@guiltyhobbit3675]

Percival is very close to Chanel Platinum egoist and the best clone for Pegasus is Alhambra Perseus.

[@Johan-fc5ru]

Perseus by Maison Alhambra is a great clone of Pegasus. Have had Perseus for some time now and smelled Pegasus the other day and couldn’t tell a difference

[@jthekidd736]

The one I needed in my life!

[@Tank721]

You've probably done it already, but would love to see your favorite 20 PDMs or however many you have

[@deadlyradiation7977]

You read my mind with this video. Thanks!!!

[@Bmage28]

Wow, really shocked Herod didn't get a mention. Definitely a cold weather beast and one of my favorite (though more limited use) PDM fragrances I've smelled.

[@DARKW1NTER69]

i bought a official sample of herod and to me it literally just smells like cough medicine it was very meh however oajan in my opinion is WAY better then herod and its not even close

[@soakedbearrd]

Herod is better than Carlyle imo

[@akhilkurian8376]

Please make a clone buying guide for the bvlagri collection as well.

[@soakedbearrd]

Craze smells terrible, but maybe I don’t like the OG (Pegasus) as I never sampled it. One of my regret blind buys.

[@meequalsmc2]

*Its a sin to not mention Herod when talking about PDM*

[@DARKW1NTER69]

i bought a official sample of herod and to me it literally just smells like cough medicine it was very meh however oajan in my opinion is WAY better then herod and its not even close

[@RodneyHuynh]

I did not see Fragrance World Anaqeed for Layton Exclusif. I think it's the best clone

[@bakarazuu]

Hey ash, would you ever be open to reviewing giardini di toscana?

[@GunGuy258]

The best Pegasus Clone is Al Harmain Royal Stallion Portfolio collection.

[@flavioy2f]

How about Perseus by Maison Alhambra? It's a Pegasus clone

[@guiltyhobbit3675]

To me it is the same juice. Quality, performance identical.

[@martinskozizi2069]

is there any kind of clone of althair by lattafa or one of their sub brands ?

[@comrademax57]

is détour noir still worth getting?

Perlador is very nice all those al haramain are specifically echo

[@youtuber-ys8co]

Hey I don't like PDM layton exclusive but I love layton. do you recommend detour noir or noir excluif?

[@TimD988]

Orientica royal bleu, same recipe as amber oud exclusif but same price bigger bottle.

[@Tubby3.0]

I like the rotating table better.

[@peterpyo8925]

I’m looking for a Le Labo’s Another 13 dupe

[@achannel6677]

can you give a quick reply? I'm looking for a winter frag. found detour noir discounted now same price as khamra. which should I get?

[@Aaron-us5iu]

Clones! I have not yet explored any PDM fragrances

[@Av-lu5wh]

What’s the best Herod clone?

[@Kairogue13]

i think dusk for layton is the best no? why is that one not included in this video?

[@BreeZieDoesiT]

Because he needs to recycle content for new viewers and sale. Dusk is the best layton clone for sure

[@kamrankhaan]

Ahmed Al Maghribi perfumes are the best right now, do get your hand on them..

[@pielucas439]

What about Leyden? How close is it to Leyton?

[@diegopinedayon2451]

Lucianno making a name for itself with their dupes line

[@Nahkakuula]

What’s the best one of those?

[@Ajibolaa]

Honestly turathi blue reminds me more of Perseus than any other

[@robertfreeman1673]

Does detour noir smell like Vicks bro ? I keep hearing that

[@Tank721]

Do you have any of the Maison Alhambra clones that look very similar to their pdm counterparts, like Kalos Hercules, Perseus ans the others???

[@4211-d3u]

great vid!

[@kelvinwynn8454]

Royal Equestrian by Alexandria Fragrancs (Layton Clone ) and also Apple Crumb (Oajan clone)

[@alanbayolo7722]

I'm surprised these perfume reviewers don't mention Alexandria Fragrances all that much. I think it's an excellent clone house with some awesome originals too. Maybe the pricing is higher than the other clone houses

[@AndreaMiano]
