Kalan is a superpower. I absolutely love it. Kalan was my first pdm and I love it to this day. It's not for everybody but if you can pull it off it's a beast.
Completely agree when it comes to Kalan, it’s really grown on me recently, it’s moved up the ranks real quick as one of my fav most verisitile PDMs. For some reason lots of people dunk on that one but maybe they just need to give it a chance 🤷 either way it’s great and I no longer regret getting it whatsoever, I love it!!!!
Habdan can almost be a winter signature scent for me. It's like someone baked an caramel apple pie in a middle eastern oven, in fact I think it is as good as Oajan--and I love that scent. I do see others talk about it (some) but it is definitely underrated. Nisean should NOT have been discontinued. Wonderful mix of spices, floral, and resin followed by the best creamy-smooth use of patchouli I have found. Kalan is different, I love the dry down, amazing pepper blast up front. Still waiting to find Akaster at an acceptable price point. Just added to my PdM collection, almost completing it with additions of Hamdani, Shagya, Kuhuyan, and Byerly, looking forward to their arrival. Appreciate your presos and attention to detail. Thanks.
It took me wearing Hamdani a couple of times before I got used to it, before I liked it, and before I loved it. The opening is strong and the dry down is awesome. I do need to know who I am going to be around during the day within the first thirty minutes of putting it on. My girlfriend likes it, but it's not for everyone. It's NOT a blind buy, but if you do like frags with an animalic scent, it's good to go. I have a Very Broad range of scents that I like. If someone is under thirty and in the pineapple crowd....probably not for them.
I have all 24 Parfums de Marly fragrances and I agree with you that these are very underrated. They aren't as challenging as Hamdani or Byerly so they are definitely worth trying a decant on them. Thanks for the video
I got Byerley and in fact I left comment to bowtie to make a video about it but he never did or responded , but it is a very very underrated fragrance that is not that bad !
@@VictorLopez-lm1jl no it's not as challenging as Hamdani but neither are mass appealing as most of their popular offerings. The opening for Byerley is a little rough around the edges until it gets to the mid and heart notes. Hamdani is more linear throughout with very little change and for me it is very hard to get acclimated to the scent. Some people like it and others don't.
@@andredrayton5668 About a year. Some of them were harder to find at discounters than others and several are discontinued. I have been working on my Xerjoff collection next. Doubtful I will get all of them but about 20-25 sounds about what I'll shoot for.
I own all of the current mens line except Hamdani and I can tell u, my top 5 personal favourites 1)Carlisle, true masterpiece 2)Kalan 3)Khuhuyan 4)Godolphin 5)Darlrey For compliments 1)Pegasus 2)Layton
Darley and Kalan have become two of my personal favorites from PdM (although tbh there are very few from this house I DON'T like), and I might not have given either one a shot without this video. Thanks for highlighting these ones!
Have to say. I watched and subscribed almost from day one. I remember when you had less than 100 subscribers and now look at you. I'm proud sir. Keep it authentically KOOL and Phi Nupe Bro!
I have all 5 of these. Haven't worn Nisean yet but I've tested it on a strip and on skin. I love Kalan. Kalan has that earthy moss type smell after dry down, but man oh man that blood orange is the main note that my nose picks up. A true beast mode of projection, longevity and silage as well.
Daren, Enjoy the content you are producing, but would love to see more on the fashion side. Like some suits to shoes, ties, belts, cufflinks to sock game. Even with colder weather upping the Sweater game, scarfs, and overcoats. So much to talk about with that. would love if you can put something together on this.
Just picked up Kalan…. Nothing close to Baccarat. Puts me in the mind frame of Thierry Mugler Ultra Zest with the sweet orange dry down, but with an organic orange opening opposed to the synthetic creamsicle smell of Ultra Zest. Made Kalan the easier purchase for me due to Ultra Zest being heavily marked up
my wife thinks habdan is a little heavy on the floral but dry down is fantastic. she loaves oajan in winter and nissean year round for sure. havent tried the other black label gold top entries from PDM.
I just wanted to share with you how much I adore Kalan. I know it's a fragrance that people either love or hate, but in my opinion, it's one of PDM's best fragrances. While Layton isn't my thing, I'm head over heels for Carlisle - it's definitely my favourite from PDM.
I finally bought Habdan today. I struggled to pay that much $ since I don't make a ton of money and just am not one to waste money. Yet, I just decided to treat myself because I like it a whole lot. 🙂
layton and pegasus are both amazing imho but i've never had more compliments wearing a fragrance than hamdani and i can't, for the life of me, figure out why they discontinued that most beautiful scent
Habdan is a challenge for me...not gunna lie. I recognize the quality and creativity of the perfumery, but it's just a lot of work for me. It's not a blind buy candidate. I need to get a sample of Kalan - this one is definitely the most divisive PDM.
I also have a thing with the color red. I really wanted to love Kalan, i tried it again and again, but i cant help it. All i smell is pepper and dirt. I made myself love creed Viking because its bright red like i love, but i cant do it with kalan. I tried brothers to the red color, i tried😢
Hello Darren, it occured to me to first try Amouage's Reflection Man and Jubilation XXV and then ti sample Darley and Nisean which i find to be quite similar and less attractive. As for Kalan it smells more than Oud for Greatness. Layton is owesome, Byrley is weird. I am looking to smell Habdan
It seems all reviewers always choose EDP over EDT. Personally I prefer D&G the one EDT over EDP. Could you please do a video on EDT concentrations you prefer over their EDP/Parfum counterparts?
Yes, I've gotten plenty of fragrances from that site, I got my 1st Initio fragrance from Aura Fragrances...Initio Side Effect...they have designer & niche fragrances for the low low
Honestly I tested the Nisean and it was one of the worse scent I have ever laid my nose on! I absolutely hated that fragrance, I don't know what it was about it but it was obnoxious and just plain a horrible scent. I'm sorry but it was bad!
Carlisle smell like tabaco vainilla ,Herod if not mistake smell like angel pure havane most of this cologne smell like other cologne nothing new in my opinion ...
The entire PdM line is overrated, so there is no such thing as an underrated PdM. The house has a less than average DNA. Most of them are boring. Some are OK for around one third of there MSRP. Their pricing is a crime. I like only 2 PdMs : Godolphin and Herod. And even then - Herod has recently been homeopathically diluted and disappears in less than an hour, so if you're looking for a real crime, it's right there - dilution.
It's polarizing, either a love or hate type scent. I personally love it but oddly enough i dislike TF Fucking Fabulous even though that's the closest thing to kalan

Kalan is a superpower. I absolutely love it. Kalan was my first pdm and I love it to this day. It's not for everybody but if you can pull it off it's a beast.
I tried Habdan about a month ago, and I completely agree. It's great. Very underrated from the brand.
i blind bought it and it was the risky ever LOL but it paid out hugely. i love amber, apple, and some spices
I think Galloway is pretty underrated too. I love it!

Picked up Layton & Pegasus from Jomashop. Both amazing🔥
You gotta try Pegasus Exclusif.... HANDS DOWN better than Pegasus.
Man got Layton and Herod for their great sale
@@drev2388 wow definitely will grab that. That almond-vanilla combo is crazy! 🔥
@@72hdc I got the exact same. I can’t believe that deal they had!!!
@@Magnacardia man I also go side effect that Sale was just to good

How long did it take you to acquire the whole line of fragrances from the house??

@@randy1610 I salute you, Sir. Respect! 🫡
Thank you!!! Nisean is in my top 3 favorite PDM glad to see some light brought to it.
You nailed that......kalan and habdan are easily top 3 from pdm in my opinion. The other will be Pegasus
I own all of the current mens line except Hamdani and I can tell u, my top 5 personal favourites
1)Carlisle, true masterpiece
2)Kalan
3)Khuhuyan
4)Godolphin
5)Darlrey
For compliments
1)Pegasus
2)Layton

Keep it authentically KOOL and Phi Nupe Bro!
Habdan and Kalan are basically my two favorites from PDM, Oajan and Carlisle are close behind.
I love oajan definitely in my top 5 Pam that doesn’t really get shin
I have all 5 of these. Haven't worn Nisean yet but I've tested it on a strip and on skin. I love Kalan.
Kalan has that earthy moss type smell after dry down, but man oh man that blood orange is the main note that my nose picks up. A true beast mode of projection, longevity and silage as well.
I snagged Oajan because of your letting us know about the sale. Keep up those sale notifications brother!
Didn't know about the sale, but been rocking Oajan for a minute super nice. You'll be happy with that purchase.

Blind bought Layton through that sale and glad I did! Interested in the first pdm you brought up. My favorite rose oud frag is ATH Onyx!
try Initio - Oud for Greatness- easily a all time best oud
@@jstones9872 I agree I have it and oud for greatness is a great oud but a rose oud you should definitely try out onyx bro!
Oud silk mood
I own Akaster and it is very underrated for sure.
Mr. Bowtie, thank you for your videos. I really enjoy your PDM reviews. I have bought 7 since watching your channel. Please continue the great work!
my wife thinks habdan is a little heavy on the floral but dry down is fantastic. she loaves oajan in winter and nissean year round for sure. havent tried the other black label gold top entries from PDM.
Yep Big Beard was the only person that spoke on this one! Great video! NISEAN that is!

Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed night
Kalan is so good!!
layton and pegasus are both amazing imho but i've never had more compliments wearing a fragrance than hamdani and i can't, for the life of me, figure out why they discontinued that most beautiful scent
my bad, forgot to tell you, quality work as always sir!!!
Galloway and Perseus is super underrated too
100 K before CHRISTMAS CONGRATS 🎉
Habdan is in my top 3 PDM as Layton and Haltane.
Habdan is a challenge for me...not gunna lie. I recognize the quality and creativity of the perfumery, but it's just a lot of work for me. It's not a blind buy candidate. I need to get a sample of Kalan - this one is definitely the most divisive PDM.
I LOVE "HAMDANI" Brother, have you given that one a SHOT? LOVE the Videos My Man.......🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾
Own Layton, Carlisle, and Kalan... And Kalan is the only one of those three that gets a reaction from my wife.
Kalan is absolutely one my favorites. Women love it.
Is the reaction good or bad?
@@DoctorScent Good.
Layton and pegasus exclusif is HEAVY
Everyone says men hate but women love it. Have yet to try it.
I also have a thing with the color red. I really wanted to love Kalan, i tried it again and again, but i cant help it. All i smell is pepper and dirt. I made myself love creed Viking because its bright red like i love, but i cant do it with kalan. I tried brothers to the red color, i tried😢
I jumped on the sale and got Layton and Carlisle!
Tried Angels Share for 1st time. Does it smell like cinnamon role soaking in cognac ?? sweet
I love Kalan and Darley
Habdan is my fav from PdM! For me is the best in the whole line, sexy yet elegant... just so good.
Hello Darren, it occured to me to first try Amouage's Reflection Man and Jubilation XXV and then ti sample Darley and Nisean which i find to be quite similar and less attractive. As for Kalan it smells more than Oud for Greatness. Layton is owesome, Byrley is weird. I am looking to smell Habdan
I would wear that turtleneck with a navy pea coat and dark denim jeans
And Oud for greatness
Looks like that yellow turtle neck LL wore In jingling baby video
It seems all reviewers always choose EDP over EDT. Personally I prefer D&G the one EDT over EDP. Could you please do a video on EDT concentrations you prefer over their EDP/Parfum counterparts?
What you think about gisada ambassador underrated for sure with that super nice mango note need to get the intense version
Thanks! 300 dollars though? I have got to get into the fragrance game. Gonna do some research.
Hi bowTie, which fragrance can I buy in substitution for Prada l’homme
I received 2 compliments with pdm kalan on the first time wearing soon as i left home 😂😂
I love Akaster
Boy he's on point
Much success! God bless!
I've never heard of Akaster, Bowtie always ahead of the pack..
Love these videos brother !
That sweater tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
haltane or Habdan?
I just got Habdan from Scent Split and was highly disappointed. It smelled very blah. I love Oajan tho!
i have tried most of the PDM frags and the only one i really want to get is still Greenly
Greenly is amazing
Just got that Oajan and like folks said, it's just like Angel's Share but Angel is arguably better. Kinda disappointed, but I haven't worn it yet
I ordered 2 godolphin and the other I'll know when I open 4 xmas the wife got it for me.vwish I saw this before I ordered
I think kalan is closer to f fabouls than 540
I bought haltane and I forgot to get Kalan I need to add that to my collection
Is aura fragrance legit site
Yes, from personal experience
Yes, I've gotten plenty of fragrances from that site, I got my 1st Initio fragrance from Aura Fragrances...Initio Side Effect...they have designer & niche fragrances for the low low
Yes but keep it on the low lol
@@andreroti3195 🤣
Somebody help a brother out. Is Herod worth it? I’m on the fence on this one. School me please.
Absolutely worth it. Didn't care for it at first,came back to it a couple years later and loved it. Cherry tobacco at its finest.
Herod is a great fragrance. It’s just not as potent as the other fall/winter fragrances like Carlisle
Godolphin needs to be in the list lol
The best is Oajan
Do you have any favourite vintage fragrances?
Kalan smells nothing like bac540
Habdan is fire it kind of reminds me of the one EDP
Habdan is in transit 😁
3..2..1…
Nisean is ;kneee Shawn;lol. Tis french
You should do the most overrated fragrances of all time.
Honestly I tested the Nisean and it was one of the worse scent I have ever laid my nose on! I absolutely hated that fragrance, I don't know what it was about it but it was obnoxious and just plain a horrible scent. I'm sorry but it was bad!

BowTie FragranceGuy - wears a turtle neck. Way to spread misinformation ;)
The covid is coming back 😷
Habdan? Heeeeeck no, that fragrance is straight booty
Kalan sucks
It's polarizing, either a love or hate type scent. I personally love it but oddly enough i dislike TF Fucking Fabulous even though that's the closest thing to kalan
I love Kalan
Kalan smells like steamed broccoli…..not for me
I just got Habdan from Scent Split and was highly disappointed. It smelled very blah. I love Oajan tho!
