I personally like Sedley a lot, at least for summer. I would buy this one from a discounters however. It's refreshing to have someone comment about a fragrance without agreeing with everyone else. I think Pegasus Exclusif might be the only PDM that might interest you if you haven't tried it already. It's different from the rest of the line

People do not believe me, but PDM Layton smells almost exactly like an Avon fragrance launched about 25+ years ago named Mesmerize. I thought I must be nuts for thinking that PDM would copy an old Avon scent. So I jad my brother smell Layton and he immediately recalled Mezmerize which is actually still in production. Im convinced that Layton is actually a dupe for Mezmerize!

Flop? This is one of the best "Designer" Freshies you can buy right now 🤣 Give it a few wearing's Marc. It for sure grows on you. Its one of my all time favorite summer-wears for sure. I really dig it. - Note: they changed the Vol % of all PDM's in 2023 so now the Vol % for Sedley is now 82% instead of 78% like the batch I have from 2021 - I will say the 2021 smells better to me.

We had a member of one of our canadian Facebook fragrance groups that does reviews speak highly about that new CEO fragrance (yes he was given the bottle) and a few of us said its absolute garbage especially for the price, quality and blatant scammy feel of the company itself but through the back and forths the gentleman was clearly backtracking on his stance so you could see how fake he was being, I got a really bad taste in my mouth from that so to see reviews like this it really gives hope again.

Appreciate your take on these, Marc! Definitely recommend getting the Middle Eastern clones of this one when it comes to the price, to some extent the Lattafa is better than the PDM save for the lavender quality imo, this is actually a favorite simplistic DNA of mine, more than other blues due to the slight green/shaving foam hints, and got my 4.2 bottle under 150 back in the day, hard to recommend it at +$200/300 and won't be getting a backup when mine runs out. Going to have to try and score a bottle of Cartier Roadster. Love that house and mint. Wish Cartier would get PDM-like sales so they wouldn't have to keep discontinuing stuff like Roadster and Declaration d'Un Soir/d'Un Soir Intense! Much love, Marc! Looking forward to more of your takes and hopefully a seasonal list again one day!

I've got a soft spot for PdM. Their brief has always to be make good quality mass appealing fragrances at a niche price point. If you know where to look you can get 125ml bottles for around $150. Yeah they make designer type fragrances but they're better constructed and use better materials and perform better than designers. If you disagree, name a designer fragrance better constructed than Layton, Carlisle, Herod, Oajan etc...Eros is trash in comparison. They're not trying to be unique or original. They do what they do well imo.
@robes08
@robes08 2 ай бұрын
It's nice to see someone that enjoys them and there's plenty of you in the world that do. Now to your point that they are better constructed I would highly disagree with that, brands like Chanel, Hermes, Dior among others you can tell the nose and the brand took time to construct them to the smallest detail to be great. Use better materials, again I disagree with you, what makes you think that? Are you there with them buying these materials? Perform better than designers? Again, which designers? There's plenty of designers that outperform these PDM's. You are right in one thing which is what they do, they do well. They save on real marketing and give free bottles to influencers to push the product. They do that well and honestly they were one of the first to do it successfully. Without influencers this brand would be lost in the high end market and probably closed their doors due to lack of sales. I appreciate anyone who enjoys any scent and I applaud anyone to write a comment on my channel saying why they love them and I hope you continue to enjoy your PDM's.

@@robes08 you make a fair point about Chanel, Dior and Hermes. However, these brands are elite, and in a league of their own. So I concede, those brands make better constructed fragrances than PdM. However, I don't look at those brands as competitors. The kind of mass appealing designer fragrances that PdM make are more like you said: Versace Eros or say, Armani Stronger With You, V+R Spicebomb. Mass appealing, dumb reaches for social situations, dates or partying. The three designers I've mentioned all smell significantly more synthetic than the PdMs I own. They all have some horrible scratchy fixative or some other chemical that doesn't agree with me, that I've never experienced with PdMs. My experience and that of many others, is that their performance is better than most designers. That's not particularly controversial, its one of their features. Look, I don't love PdM, I can't remember when I last wore one, but for the right occasion they do the job better than most imo.

By your own logic PDM is simply not good because they are overpriced basic scents. Nothing wrong with a basic mass appealing scent but again its way overpriced for something already done. Also if its on the market anyone is a competitor...

Guerlain's high end line is also leaps and bounds better to L'artisan Parfumeur or D.S. and Durga or Histoires de parfums.

People spend top dollar for this stuff because of influencers, marketing, and brand loyalty. When you aren't curious and don't want to go outside of the established norm or aren't looking for yourself...it becomes difficult to know that these are clones or fragrances that are close to something else on the market. You've got to be curious for something exciting and new, and PDM is focusing on what sells on the market, sadly. Now sure, I own Carlisle and Layton Exclusif, and I like them both...but I've tried so many PDMs myself and have the same reaction as you do here for the more recent ones. Sedley was "okay" but I didn't like the type of mint here. If it was maybe closer to a peppermint, I might have kept it, but eh. Little impresses me anymore after all the fragrances I've tried over the years.

Sedley smells similar to Boss Bottled Infinite to me.

If PdM has an identity, to me it is something sweet in the base which seems vanillic even when no vanilla note is listed. It's like they share a common aromachemical composition that they build their scents from.

pretty sure that's that Hamid's signature from Firmenich and you'd be right, he has a certain signature that isn't honestly the best.

PDM warm weather offerings are extremly bad, galloway is only one which is worth mentioning. I would not agree for whole brand. They have some great offerings like layton, layton exc, carlisle, habdan, oajan, nisean, pegasus exclusif. But all of those are release long time ago. From that time, PDM increased the price point and did not offer anything new

Exactly what i thought smelling it. Smells like a low tier designer brand trying to jump on the blue-scent-train. If it would be a Burberry or Trussardi release nobody would even talk about it, because it smells like hundreds of a very generic, uninspiring blue scents too. I don't say it smells Bad and i am sure you will get some compliments but you would also receive some compliments wearing Axe or Nautica Voyage. So i don't think that's an argument. It's just way to expensive for what it is

I always give them a chance, it's the point of the video. However the brand has not shown me anything which is the point of the intro. Until you show me you can make a quality product I will state my facts. Of course I offer it for decant, unlike others in this space, I will truthfully state what I smell and not sugar coat it for the consumer.

All good, thank you for stopping by. I do want a subscriber base that wants a truthful and opinionated reviewer instead of a co-signer. Not interested in having subscribers that don't see the other side of the coin. I'm sure you've found several reviewers that say how good this is (as part of their free bottle).

@markh.7389 I'm so happy that I don't have that heard mentality that if it's popular I must be right or I must follow the lead. Happy to have my own opinion that I like a fragrance and dislike others and not feel pressured to like it on social media to be approved by others. Just because many people like it does not make it a good fragrance and hence making me wrong because I'm in the minority. I love not loving scents like sauvage, pdm, bleu de chanel and be able to actually say it in videos as it's my taste. I'd hate to be content creator trying to follow the trends so they don't have to deal with guys like you in the comments section. Enjoy your Sedley! 🫡
