Thank you!

Guys who felt disappointed when Omar said their favorite fragrance in his worst list, i just wanted to say enjoy your fragrance until the last spray and keep it in mind that this list is just Omar‘s opinion on each fragrance. Every fragrance is appreciable

[@DHolmes419]

I think I like the technical aspect of Pegasus more than the actual fragrance. It’s rich and strong, yet somehow light/airy and transparent at the same time. I’m generally a fan of heliotrope centric fragrances. I have a 5ml sample of the exclusif, looking forward to trying that out.

THE BEST: CANNEL - Allure Homme Sport Extreme YSL - Y EDP Dior - DHI Armani - Profumo V&R - AGREE: Spicebomb Extreme PDM- Layton

[@kausarde4974]

How original

[@SparklyBird]

The first big fragrance that I bought was Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme Intenso. I liked it the first time I smelled it. The second fragrance I bought was Tom Ford Noir Extreme. I smelled it in the store and thought that it had a very unique smell. I imagined a black elegant flower. Basically, the opening smells like sweet grapes used for wine. The drydown smells creamy and soft, with vanilla and flower notes. The creaminess is probably because of the perfume note "kulfi".

[@cjmadison2397]

[@stephanstefan6211]

TF,Costa Azzurro EDP is my favorite,I received a lot of compliments and during the summer when it's hot, it activates even more from the heat...now I want to try the Parfume🤩😇 Noire, I tried🤔... but it won't back me up🤷‍♂️ As for Metallique, it's really strange, I don't like it at all🙈

[@berenddevries74]

Great video and outfit Omar. You made me stop it twice and sit in a corner crying for exactly one whole second, burning 2 of my favorite scents. 🙃 Thankfully everybody has the right to like whatever he/ she likes and this is your opinion on these scents. Pour Monsieur is actualy one of my signature scents and I get a 6-8 hours from it. This is how a chypre should be made imho and indeed it might smell a tiny litle bit dated, but it's also all about how you wear it and with what confidence/ attitude. I wonder what your thoughts are on Cartier Pasha EdT? Costa Azzurra EdP is my nr°1 TF scent. I personaly just fell in love with it the moment I got a free sample. Untill now, I haven't smelled another TF I'd considder buying. I actualy get compliments on Costa Azzurra, which is rare for me to get outside family and friends. The only other scents I get these kind of compliments on is Montale Greyland and believe it or not... Pour Monsieur.

[@augustobarboza8175]

Excellent video Omar! What physical store do you recommend to buy perfumes in London? I have a short trip scheduled soon. Thank you!

[@kulitsere03]

I've gotten plenty of compliments with costa Azzura. Everyone is different though. I did not like neroli portofino, reminds me of a house cleaner, my grandmother used lol

[@PODBOOM]

I agree almost 100% with your view on PdM's fragrances. I still need to smell 5 or 6 of the male focused ones though, tbh.... While I PERSONALLY like Oajan more than Carlisle I have absolutely recognized that Carlisle gets more compliments than Oajan, for me. Almost emptied both decants, and ordered another one of each lol - I want a full bottle of both (Also Habdan, and Sedley) but gonna have to get them one at a time, with the price tags... (: Gotta spend smart.

[@drej14]

Great video, thanks for keeping the bottle of each fragrance on the screen

[@blogityblah]

I love Noir Extreme and I think The Costa Azzura Patfum is better than the eau de parfum version.

[@FrogsTinyBladder]

Legend edt is one of my favorites. But you hit the nail on the head, I am a novice and new to the fragrance game.

[@rayhaankhan5151]

Pegasus pick is shocking I have a bunch of PDM and this is the second most complimented from both men and woman. A PDM street battle video including Pegasus would be fun to watch.

[@AdonisBorn1]

I was shocked too

[@centenoerickson7490]

Amazing video 😍 Can we have Dunhill, davidoff, guerlain, gucci, guess, givenchy in part2 of this video Please 😁

[@daniellabuda7744]

Nice outfit Bro. I received exactly this same experience with Pegasus. A massive vanillin-heliotropin bomb to be honest. Of course, the blend is well crafted, I believe they used some coumarin sandalwood raw materials and as always that classic complex musk accord, so this is higher shelf perfumery. But, this extreme powdery sweet metallic and vanillic vibes just are not my cup of tea as well.

[@SchoolOfScent]

Great analysis, I agree the quality is there, they used expensive materials, but went too far in one direction, thanks for watching!

[@rasheedabubakar1665]

You should do a part 2. I would like your opinion on other designer fragrances like Calvin Klein, Versace (eros flame is the best?), Burberry, etc

[@karlojosipgolomejic339]

Damn, I thought that I was the only one who found the simillarities betwen the dior homme 2020 and BDC,you are the first reviewer that said that

[@On_The_Mark]

I like Code Colonia because I have found so few aquatic scents that are not repulsive to me and because I like the tonka in the code line. What would you suggest is better? Carlisle is my hands-down favorite of the PDM's I've tried. I also agree about Galloway and Pegasus. I did find Pegasus very metallic, but not so sweet. However, Godolphin is the one I would single out as unpleasant.

[@ManicMindTrick]

Dior MESSED UP BADLY with the Fahrenheit Perfum. The EDT version is a masterpiece just like Eau Sauvage but this Parfum version is incredibly harsh and poorly blended. Huge WTF moment when I smelled it.

[@rajatmahajan88]

My personal take on these houses best and worst fragrances (for men) -: Chanel 1. Best - Bleu De Chanel EDP 2. Worst - Antaeus (I don’t hate this) Tom Ford 1. Best - Ombre Leather EDP 2. Worst - Metallique Dior 1. Best - Dior Homme Intense 2. Worst - Fahrenheit EDT Parfums De Marly 1. Best - Layton/Pegasus Exclusif 2. Worst - Galloway/Godolphin YSL 1. Best - LNDH bleu electrique 2. Worst - Kouros Armani 1. Best - Acqua Di Gio (original) 2. Worst - Profondo Lights/Diamonds

[@John-on3wt]

I don't like fahrenheit either

[@paulakabanteng5279]

I can’t believe you said this about Pegasus😂😂..Anytime I wear Pegasus, I get lots and lots of compliments from women.. I think it’s the most loved perfume by women in the line of PDM..

[@FunkyD50]

I disagree with the take on Code Colonia. Yes, it’s different from the line and incorporates “blue” elements, but it is mass appealing and a compliment getter. I think the disappointment comes because the word “colonia” invokes a throwback, citrus fragrance similar to Eau Sauvauge and when it didn’t resemble that genre, people down voted it. It’s not great, but it is good.

[@byMRTNjournals]

Prin lomross' worst fragrance from all his houses is PRIN - Ganja Kasturi. It smells like a toddler sprayed all their grannies old perfumes over all their old musty clothes. His best is Strangers Perfumeries - Magenta Pop. Concord Grape (anthrocyanin) with old school hippy incense, deep licorice, dry tobacco and leather. It can be a bit chokey but has multiple strong nostalgia notes for anyone in their mid 30s to mid 40s Also I've not watched the video yet but if Mouboussin isn't mentioned, they need more hype. Indivuduel dries down to smell like yellow custard on my skin. Which is a shame because I love wearing it up until that point

[@dqyler]

"Thomas Fordigan" - Noir Extreme, I got this as a present for Christmas, I absolutely love the scent, it's very unique, my GF absolutely loves it, however the atomizer on mine is so bad, the worst of any fragrance in my collection, and so I feel like it's not performing the way it should, maybe it's just my bottle

[@robertrolfingsmeyer4743]

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I fell in love with you just now! I thought something was wrong with me, I had to give away my decant of Pegasus because I HATED it! And I blind bought Legend, my god that is a crap frag. They’re fuzzy or something. It’s like smelling static.

[@AdonisBorn1]

Was really surprised by Pegasus it's actually my favorite from PDM with Oajan coming in 2nd place...If anything is overly sweet it's Layton

[@niklasd8233]

That's EXACTLY what I thought while watching this video. Pegasus is in my opinion one of the best from PDM and I really like the DNA. I agree that the opening is way better than the drydown, but I still like the drydown as well. The one I was most disappointed was Layton (and Kalan, I think it's one of the worst scents I've ever smelled). I really don't understand the hype about Layton and why everybody loves it so much. There are too much spices and too much sweetness in my opinion, it just don't work pretty well

[@AdonisBorn1]

@@niklasd8233 Yeah I never got the hype about Layton either, perhaps people who are used to sweet designer scents who just started getting into niche are more easily impressed by it.

[@Goldman-Khazar-Rothschild]

Layton Exclusif is currently my #1 PDM. So addictive, I can't stop smelling it.

[@MortyMortyMorty]

Will there be a part 2 when you do best and worst Versace and Prada as well?

Hy Omar🔥... Love The Video🔥 I Want to ask something 🙏 Im 20 Years old on next month and i would gonna buy DHI (Dior Homme Intense) is it suit/good for me? What you think? Should i should try others?

[@BIGZY777]

You should give Headie One’s Rose Oud EDP a try, it’s only £50 on Flannels. I smelt it a few months ago and it’s not bad at all for the price

[@All_True_Especially_The_Lies]

So I agree that Legend EDT is not great. It is, however, marketed to a younger crowd. Percival is much nicer, but in its case those who can afford it might be a little more experienced and might not pick that particular DNA knowing that other PDMs are far nicer and better crafted and at a similar price point. So Legend with all it's simplicity actually makes sense for its intended consumer.

[@LeoR4U]

PDM is one of my favorite niche brands. So many gorgeous scents. Fully agree to your judgement re. Pegasus. It’s really annoying. Metallic and overly sweet.

[@Nyualum17]

Costa Azzura smells amazing to me. Maybe try buying the 2022 one

[@kombasanpracka]

I agree with you about the Pegasus - but the reason is the opening with its super owerpowering cumin (what you call metallic). It just instantly reminds me of cooking with lots of cumin ... that's all I get. Unlike you I quite like the drydown where the almond creamy sweetness amps up and the cumin is just faint and bearable. And Galloway - I like its opening (almost identical to Lalique White) but then it quickly changes into something musky and not very interesting ... so again, I would agree with you again :) But I disagree with Chanel Pour Monsieur EDT - I love it even in current formulation for warm sunny Sundays :)

[@Handstyles]

I also cant stand Costa Azzura. It smells too salty and the seaweed/driftwood noe kills the whole scent for me. Did you try the parfum version?

[@nykia31]

Individuel I don't believe had been discontinued... I still have about half a bottle left. I dunno..it's strange to me. Maybe I over spray it (5 sprays usually), but the opening is just super syrupy to me and it is tough to find a place for it in the rotation. I can't really place what occasions I'd want to wear it for, other than a random change-up from wearing my better stuff.

[@kelanmccormack2828]

I’m pumped to try that fragrance you reccomended at the beginning. I know it’s going to be awesome because you wouldn’t risk your reputation or becoming a shill just for cash, and lose all the respect of your viewers! it’s gonna be better than aqua di gio and Invictus.

pour monsieur was my signature, so of course i'm offended (lol) but you are correct, they discontinued the very best version (concentree) and now it's hardly worth recommending.

I saw multiple reviews describe it as the lovechild of Code Absolu and Jean Paul Gautier Le Male so now that's all I think of when I spray it.
