Reviews by Aaron just hit different.

[@hairbycyn2568]

Lol me too😀 i totally don't take other fragrance reviewers seriously anymore 😳

[@jakobkoprivnik6372]

You get so much more credibility if you dare to say you dont like something, that why I trust you even more. Thank you for being yourself and not pleasing everyone for views.

[@Thamac15]

I just want to say thank you for such wonderful genuine content. You’ve guided me through some blind purchases and have been perfect! Please don’t change your authenticity ever!

[@plamenski5244]

Great review as usual, Aaron. Thank you. This is personally one of my favorite PDM's (along with Herod, Carlisle and Oajan) and to my nose this has a delicious caramel note that keeps me sniffing my wrist all day. 👍😎

[@mahmutates3447]

Haddan and oajan very close eachothers layton and kalan and greenley , pegasus my favorite of this lines

[@KunaiKrazy]

I had to scrub off Oajan. It smelled too spicy and sharp like a cinnamon and incense concentrated bomb. Kalan smells like sweet bell pepper and is a hard pass. Pegasus is too sweet but the Exclusive takes that edge off and I can wear thatthat. Layton and Greenley are just plain enjoyable. I can use Greenley as a signature warm weather fragrance easily.

[@agiandilettijr]

The passion radiates off this guy when he does reviews. I want to be inside his head when he’s describing the notes. Because his arms and hands move about as if he’s inside the scent cloud and it’s mesmerizing

[@DuncanPerryOfficial]

The hands were moving so much I thought you were landing a plane! 😄 Fantastic review as always 👏 Can't wait for the next one!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I know!

[@nickbrand3265]

[@papaduplar6508]

Something I have noticed with habdan and other parfum de marlys is they suffered from reformulation :( habdan was really good but when I smelt the newer version I really did not like it and they smelt quite different. The way to tell is to look at the bottom of the bottle. batch codes with 7 numbers is 2020 plus and that’s the big year of reformulation. Any codes with 6 digets are 2019 and under. The first digit is what year it was made for example if it starts with 7 it’s made in 2017 and so on. Also I heard 2018 had batch inconsistencies due to lack of proper materials . I own a 2020 Layton and it is significantly more vanilla dominant then the older ones. I also own a 2016 Galloway and its a lot smoother then the current formulation and has a real citrus top note.

[@SsSs-yd5hr]

My Percival is 6 digits starts with a 0, it says 2020, my Carlisle is 7 digits starts with a 1 and is 2021

[@papaduplar6508]

@@SsSs-yd5hr yes I forgot to mention if it starts with 0 and is 6 digits it’s a 2020 as well

[@rolfrau5743]

Why almost any house that gets successful starts to Reformulate and ruin their fragrances?

[@teddybear9426]

Exactly,i loved my sample of Galloway, my full bottle is not the same. Now i know why. It was so rich from the sample and beastmode. It still smells line Galloway but i am missing something.

[@KenRus]

I need a Aaron Terence Hughes skin care routine vid. My mans out here glistening! Love the content friend.

[@blackbass4u2c]

Habdan is my favorite fall fragrance... it's like an apple orchard for me...

[@warrendchild]

I love how Aaron is always fantastic and doing really well 😍😍😍

[@cynthialawson364]

So refreshing to see an honest, negative review instead of what seems like the pandering we too often seem to see. I just “found” you and look forward to digging in to your reviews. Thanks.

[@santeripe]

As Parfums de Marly reformulated their fragrances this year to remove Lilial, they've also dropped their concentration and diluted their naturals for more synthetics. Old bottles used to read Vol 78% at the bottom. New ones read Vol 82%, which means only 18% of the liquid is water + additives + perfume oil. I have EDTs more concentrated than that. Layton performs better now, but smells like a shell of its old self. Not sure if the choice was driven by performance complaints or greed.

[@mohkamaltaha]

Shame.

[@santeripe]

@@mohkamaltaha I know right, I used to really like what they were going for! Designer scents with niche quality. Now they're designer scents halfway there to designer quality.

[@EleaticStranger]

Surprised to hear that for a top shelf brand.

[@FraBra88]

Well, they really messed all up.

[@Top_Cheeze]

Thank you for this information, was planning on buying a couple more from PDM and I would have been so disappointed if I got a bottle not smelling the same. I lowkey hope their sales drop and they go back XD

[@jg465]

This is an incredible scent. So overlooked.

[@siggi0633]

Waiting for your review on PdM Sedley. Most hyped freshie out of all PdMs and became my favorite too.

[@royvan6224]

I love how you went from samples to full bottles reviews.

[@Ed-ce5mb]

Aaron, Habdan by Parfums de Marly is one of my favorite fragrances from the brand. It is not for everyone but it works with me. Great review.

[@bradleystroup1457]

This is one of my favorite PdMs. I like maybe a handful of them and this is #1

[@dasikakn]

I had been debating getting either Habdan or Althair for my partner and they’re both SUCH a different vibe. Habdan is “dark mode” and complex filled with contrasting notes. At one point I even got a hint of hot curry from it (yum!). Althair was “light mode” and easy, what you see is what you get type of scent. Choosing between the two was like choosing between dinner and dessert. You kind of want both right? In the end I bought Althair because it’s a gift and I think “light mode” is easy for others to like. I think I’ll leave the “dark mode” choice to purchase as a couple later because I worry I’ll get it wrong by myself. You’re spot on that Habdan is likely to be someone’s signature scent or not at all. That was exactly my worry to buy as a gift before I even saw your review.

[@Mandalloyrian]

As someone that's relatively new to the fragrance game, and a very analytical person, I appreciate your expert reviews and opinions. I tried the PDM discovery set this weekend and found it to be overall fairly enjoyable. Regrettable that they have been reformulated now. I have some of your Boss Bastard and Legend on the way from Maxaroma!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

they are good ones to start with! 🦄🦄🦄🦄

[@varunghanwat3687]

Please do Guerlain l’homme ideal extreme as well. Would love to know your take on it

[@alexanderjespersen9247]

just tried Layton 82% Vol for the first time yesterday and its completely beast mode on my skin, i can still smell it about 12 hours later even after showering lol

[@marcusaureliusRomanEmperor]

Aaron - this is a great review. You’re very sharp and focused in this video. Even better than your past videos. Keep it up!!!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I appreciate that!

[@DavidGarcia-zu3hl]

Love your reviews and approach, and only now finding your PdM reviews. Watched your Oajan review before this one. I find it interesting that Oajan IS correctly considered to be the apple pie vibe of the house, but Habdan is actually the one with apple as an actual note, it's actually not in Oajan. I love and prefer Oajan for pure comfort and casual hanging out in cold weather. I kind of view Habdan as Oajan's rich daddy. Maybe more of a suede-ish apple pie baked in a middle eastern oven. Signature and date frag. It rocks. Respect your opinion on this frag!

[@trumskolan]

Your the best and most skilled on the internet doing this. Thanks a zillion!

[@Gonzalo_K]

Aaron, since you have Gucci Envy for Men, give it a retry next to Habdan: I think the latter was inspired by the Gucci (with a few twist and modernized of course)

[@brunopaolucci6054]

Great house Aaron. I have 4 of their scents. I really appreciate your reviews and your passion and skill in pulling notes out of a scent!

[@mahyar7126]

I wanted to buy it, and I was on the fence, but you closed the file for me, thank you, Aaron, again.

[@zendariuskincaid5205]

Hands down my favorite from the House, not even close. I own 8 other fragrances from the house but this takes the cake by a landslide just my taste

[@pjmallery5379]

I like Habdan myself I feel like it is one of PDM'S most underrated scents. That is one thing about fragrances that amazes me is how people can smell the same fragrance and pick up different notes from it. Aaron I recently bought Forbidden and love it and am looking forward to getting Raw Cherry. Have you made a video on it yet? I haven't been able to find one but I am curious the differences between the two.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

[@0phex]

Nisean is awesome underrated too

[@warrendchild]

Where can you try this brand in UK, please?

[@MBalvin]

Aww I was really hoping you enjoyed Habdan! A favourite of mine and yes it lasts for ages 😄 as you said though we can all have different opinions and that’s what makes it fun! Great review as usual ATH 👊

[@prasartpongpet]

PDM is my favorit house, it has exactly like you say a red thread that you can recognize. Great review!

[@bdstansberry]

Great review! This is my fall/winter signature scent. The suede does last for pretty much the life of the fragrance on my skin. I must have an older bottle, because this lasts forever and projects heavily.

[@christopherr6363]

Aaron! Beutiful review, you respected the composition, and yet let it be known you are not fond of it in a classy way. Keep the videos coming! I am doing very well once again , thank you for asking and Glad yourr doing Fantastic and really well!!😃👍🏻

Ahhhh!!!! I hope you are to

[@kimlawrence7193]

Very good review. Very honest and thorough. I enjoyed it!

Aaron, great review! Agreed, PDM is lovely! Each release is thoughtful & there are no throw-always. My current favorite is Delina La Rosee. Speaking of fantastic fragrances, Boss Bitch is Gorgeous! It’s going on my list! I’m thinking I’ll wait until after 22/2 & then place a big order! ❤️😀

[@lyndonearlington5986]

Well I have to say you are very honest on your approach with this brand. I know you still love this brand. I hope you will find another one that will like. I like this brand and I believe they are one of the best in niche perfumery. Your work is impeccable. I hope to see you do review on Guerlain Vetiver Extreme just extremes version. I know you don’t like Vetiver but I wish to see you do review on it one day and barbershop 💈 style perfumery.

[@stormeth1313]

I'm very much looking forward to your Areej Le Dore - Atlantic Ambergris II Review! I purchased 10ml of Russian Adam and Sultan Pasha's Civet de Nuit last week and I'm very unsure of what I'm in for as I've never had an Areej Le Dore fragrance, or something so dark in color with natural animalics...

[@ryanepps771]

Unicorn for life!! Very descriptive, and the honesty is greatly appreciated! Pdm fragrances are pleasant, for sure, but I'm not a huge fan. Pdm Kalan is a fun fragrance, though....unique! Thanks Aaron!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄

[@Cecil9383]

Loved the review. I was just waiting for you to say leather or suede. Lol. That’s one of the things I first noticed about it. I love a good leather/suede Frag. Not my favorite from the house by any means but definitely a good one. Great content. Keep it up!

[@smthreet21]

I felt the exact same response on initial spray of this fragrance, it was that suede thing with the clean core and incense floating around it. I didnt love it and agreed it needed sweetening. But…. As time passes with this it really evolves, and that clean top note fades to the back and this cinnamon ambery sweetness sort of emerges out for me. I do think other perfums de marly scents just instantly please me more but this one is quite intriguing with time.

[@zvikaso]

I own Carlisle and Godolphin. I appriciate Oajan as a masterpiece and adore how it smells from the bottle, but can't wear it, as it induces headaches on me. Never tried Habdan, because I heard it's an upgraded version of Boss Bottled, which I don't like. I'll give it a try.

[@commissioner1969]

Sweet and clean. That exactly how i think about PDM

[@ReignsDad71023]

Please review Pegasus Exclusif.

[@KunaiKrazy]

Out of the deeper PDM fragrances in the "Carlisle" family, Habdan is the most likable to me. Herod smells great only in but dry down. Haltane is just OK. Carlisle smelled like piss on my arm but great in the air. Habdan wins overall to me. Great for the Fall.

[@amosw766]

I loved this when I first smelt it, so much so that I bought it for my girlfriend immediately haha. Thankfully, she likes it as well, but I'd probably have been more hesitant if I'd seen this first! Great review as always.

[@terrysmiles8599]

Aaron you should try Oajan then! They are similar but different! There both rock star Fragrances for sure!....to me anyway!!One thing i agree with you about is the fact they are probably charging at the top of the scale...Meaning they are getting top dollar for what they could get for these fragrances!!! I do not think if they raise there prices anymore they might start having a harder time selling them....I do notice discounters sometimes give a cheaper price!...I do realize Oajan and Habdan are not for everybody!

[@aromafromheaven]

Gorgeous review

[@tyreebranch]

Great review Aaron! I thought the same way regarding this fragrance. I felt like it was missing something. I'll be curious to get your thoughts on Parfums De Marly Kuhuyan.

Excellent review! Spot on!!

[@titozamora9500]

I personally have gotten a fantastic bottle of Layton 2 years ago and it performs and smells beastly . I bought Carlisle from a guy on a reseller app and it is authentic and smells amazing and beastly too. I just bought oajan same thing except in that one I am noticing is not as strong I just ordered percival I hope this one is good and beastly otherwise im beginning to see why a lot of people are complaining.

[@ManuelMedellin.]

2021 and 2022 they started to water down their entire PdM line, 82% alcohol instead 78% and it is deluded and their frags don't perform very well anymore. Shame PdM is going down that same route like Creed.

[@titozamora9500]

@@ManuelMedellin. yea I can confirm this is true REFORMULATED. Maybe it helps anybody out there doubting it . My oajan and percival are just average .

Habdan is one of those that for me at first I was...yea it's all right I guess....and by the third wear I went and bought a bottle :)) (had this happen with a few fragrances...weirdly enough these sort of fragrances that grow on me I seem to love more over time than ones that I immediately love...

[@rustyshackleford17]

Want to find something from the house that you'll dislike? Try Hamdani. It's like wet mud mixed with vicks vapor rub. Or Nisean that's like old man mixed with dry patchouli. But on my skin, Habdan's incense note stays pretty prominent for the life of the scent on my skin.

[@valzalel5203]

Sorry but Nisean is just misunderstood... and underrated

[@nieczerwony]

It's ok for me. Stays quite long on me but after about 5 hrs become skin scent. On clothes it stays for even 2-3 days. I bough this but will not keep it. Would be nice gift to my brother. I love woody, smoky, frankincense, myrhh frags, but here I pick up to much sweetness which I am not big fan of. I definitely get saffron and resin in opening. Unfortunately on dry down for me carmel apple is dominant. I have Issey Miyake Pour Homme Noir Ambre, which despite having vanilla and Tonka in the base is way less sweet then this one. In fact this is one of my best frags impossible to get for reasonable price today. Just because it has more woody/spice notes then vanilla, Tonka aren't that dominant. Probably it's also skin chemistry. I would love you to do some Issey Miyake reviews as in my opinion this is very underated house.

[@AB-bw5yc]

I find it to be very stable and has a sexy dirty edge. I find it a little quiet on me. It stays close to my skin and no one around me smells it even when I ask them. I do really like it though.

Hi Aaron, how do you tell the difference between suede and leather accords?

[@hanswurst5810]

He uses his nose i guess

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Its the aromachemicls they use. Suederal or vanilla, ionones with some soft woods gives a suede! Its soft and fluffy! Leather is iso-Butyl Quinoline, Safraleine with Beta ionones give leather

[@paigeofstylez]

Also iris mixed with a leather accord will also give off suede vibes. At least to me
