Hugo Boss Bottled Intense
Mercedes Benz Club Black
PDM Layton
PDM Pegasus
I absolutely love it so dam good. I don't think it smells like nothing out here. I think it is worth every penny love it
100% agree. 10/10 fragrance. The cheap ones are over bearing sweet and don't have a balance blending. But this Althaïr is perfectly blended and works so good on my skin. Super addicting that's it's definitely going to be my top 3 favorite of all time
@kevintapia5651 Yes it is I absolutely love it these people out here lie like hell. Them are the ones who don't have it or can't afford but want to give a review on something they don't have
I am obessed with it. Tested on ny skin and couldnt stop smelling it...I love PDM fragrances.
Mercedes club black is not a long lasting perfume
You know it's getting cold when Omar starts wearing a beanie inside

Thanks for the video Omar. Would love to see an acqua di parma buying guide from you..
I blind bought this fragrance and at first I was mesmerised by the gourmont notes, the phantasy of it being a mass appealing scent with a sensual name, easy to wear in different occasions without it being too obnoxious to overwhelm anyone but, in truth, it is a very, very safe release by PDM. A week later I bought Kalan and that is one bold horse. I would much rather wear Kalan and get, perhaps (if it comes to that) a conversation of dispute going with another than wear a well blended yet safe fragrance like Altair.
Also, I've come to realize that PDM, compared to other niche perfumery brands like the outstanding Xerjoff, which I've tested numerous fragrances or theirs, is, to simply put it, a high quality designery "niche" brand. They do use high quality materiels but their blends, at least when it comes to their most popular fragrances such as Layton, Pegasus and now as I'm sure it will be, Altair are all very safe choices for the average consumer and it seems that PDM is targeting that demographic. I really enjoy PDM fragrances, I adore Layton Exclusif, which I consider to be the best of them all next to Oajan and Carlisle but when you purchase something this expensive, you need to be aware of a plethora of other either equally good or even better choices in other purfume houses for the same price and you also need to be aware of what exactly it is are you're buying and for what reason, to suit which purpose, what narrative and so on. In any case, if your not really into perfumery and you want a well blended safe fragrance from a not so common ( compared to designer brands primarily of course) but recognizable house (so you feel good about yourself), then Altair is a solid and fun fragrance with appeal BUT one that is NOT up to the standards of a niche fragrance.
You know pdm,initio is my favorite house I have tried a bunch of different ones out here. You are right pdm makes it safe to wear and love or like. I have been reading a lot about pdm they are niche cause they use high quality oils and have one of the best around. Not all their fragrance are designer niche is what some people say why do they say cause it smells like others? I know some they got that doesn't smell like anything out here and people copy them. Just because some might smell like something els doesn't make it a designer niche I don't believe that because of the oils that they use is high quality. What makes it niche hard to get or hey don't smell like this or we will be designer niche bull shit
I agree. Layton exclusif.
Ok pal, so explain in technical detail why althair isnt up to "niche standard" and also explain who defines what niche standard is.
@@premium3429 what do y'all want it to smell like ass before it is a niche fragrance? Parfum de marly is niche buddy
@@jts4248 Brother, I didnt write the comment to you! It was for the original poster! I fully agree with you, PDM is Absolutely, without any question, niche. PDM does niche fragrances, period. As you correctly stated, the ingredients used are high quality and very nice smelling. Also, I dare people to smell a layton exclusif or carlisle or haltane, and tell me thats not niche. It's as niche as it gets. Haltane is my favourite currently, what a masterpiece of a fragrance. Cheers!
Day 2 of asking for another top teenager fragrances for each occasion
Just do dior sauvage edt. 12 sprays minimum as it is quite weak. Do it right before you ask out your crush. The delicious opening will have her wanting more. CDNIM edt would also work. Minimum 12 sprays
@@filipgimell750712 are you sure? I'd honestly go for 15 especially for something like a school environment just to be sure everyone smells you.
Who cares. "Age ratings" for fragrances are stupid 90% of the time. Wear whatever you like and don't overthink it.

Here are some affordable designers I recommend for a teenager starting a collection.
D&G Light Blue - Casual summer
Versace Dylan Blue - Casual winter Acqua Di Gio EDT - Office
Any PDM Layton clone - Party
D&G The One EDP - Date night
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
it's a great scent ppl are hating on it because it's PDM
There was a tester bottle at my local dealer, next to it Oajan. Tried both and Althaïr gave me Pegasus (metallic) vibes, while Oajan seemed warmer and more versatile to wear.
Not to say I was disappointed in the newest release, but hesitantly waiting and might get some tester first to see longetivity and the changes on my skin.
Thank you for the review and for sharing your knowledge.
Oajan is fantastic. It'll be my 4th PDM in my collection.
Beanie game is on point
Agreed 100%
I've been referring to it as a high-quality Boss Bottled Intense, which is sadly discontinued.
Does anyone know a good alternative to it? I'd go for Althaïr no problem, but if there's a more affordable option, I'd go for it.
Sounds like I’ve already got that scent profile covered. Thanks.
Tried this and it’s amazing!
I haven't smelled it yet, but I will definitely do it. It seems to be built upon some more expensive naturals and inspired by designer mass-appealing sweet amber scents. I would be not surprised at all, if I would find that they blended two popular well established designer dnas in cosmetics and made some transformations, inversions and modified them by naturals and some more interesting aroma-chemicals, improved a structure and smoothness. I bet, some interesting and clever chemical work was done in Althaiir.
Maybe a winning mass-appeal combination (Coumarin, Vanillin, Ethyl Maltol, Ambroxan) was used, some expansive ambers like Javanol, Ambermax and of course, their well blended Musk accord. If yes, then nothing strange that it smells just delicious for majority of people. Very nice review, Omar. Very appreciated. Today people want more sweet and nice mass-appeal, not necessarily something creative and complex. So, I think, that Althaiir can be a massive profit success for the brand, especially because of cooperation with skillful perfumers and higher budget costs involved in the formula.
2:37 - You used the bottle of Percival instead of Layton, it is a brighter blue than the Navy-ish tone that Layton is in
First time i smelled it i wasnt convinced and reacted like you. A month later it has grown on me considerably and Im even starting to think about a bottle if i find it cheaper than retail. Cheapest ive seen this go is 230 for 125 ml, at 180 id pick a bottle up immediately. I couldve bought it already but decided to blind buy naxos.
new uploadd lets go!
Great review! Omar, do you think that Layton and Herod still worth it in 2023? Considering performance and longevity aspects?
Yes
Some notoriously bad performing fragrances last on me no problem. Herod is one of the VERY few fragrances that don't last on me. I love the scent, but I can't get a bottle. Layton lasts 12+ hours without flinching.
@@jimlittle5769its the same way with me
Althaïr is so dam good as well
What other fragrances do you think are just like this one? I personally love althaïr more than every other pdm i own
Just saw a recommendation by another (German) scent youtuber: layering Nikos Sculpture and Lattafa ameer Al Oudh intense gets you pretty close to Althaiir
A german TH-camt found out that if xou layer
Ameer al oudh intense with Nikos Sculpture that after 30min it is 95% identical
I loved it until the ambroxan hit. Hate scents with extremely heavy ambroxan. Once the opening disappears, the ambroxan just hits ugh.
Would rather go for something like lira!
I love PDM and have most of their stuff but this one didn’t do it for me. I gave it to one of my employees and he loves it
Really? Its my favorite pdm
That was one generous gift👍
It's a nice smooth and well blended gourmand fragrance. Very safe but I can't justify spending the money for a ''safe'' fragrance. If I have to go gourmand I'd prefer Oajan over it. I'm glad you felt the same compared to other youtubers overhyping it like they've not smelled anything like it.
Yep, completely agree!
I feel it smells so much like MYSLF by YSL with a bit of vanilla added. Like a really dusty orange blossom scent.
Bro is uploading every day? Christmas in October 😳
I got it gifted to me, i like it and enjoy the smell:)
this one is quite enjoyable but smells like a lot of other frags, can’t justify spending that much on a full bottle
Please can you buy every Amouage fragrance so I don't have to...
You say Layton and out a picture of Perseus there
This reminds me of The Most Wanted Parfum.
Have you Dupe
I understand the desire on the part of many for PdM to be more "niche," but the truth remains that they need people to buy their fragrances. More 'difficult' or 'challenging' fragrances have their place (and I absolutely adore most of them) but so do fragrances that have mass appeal (and compliment power). PdM does the best job of any house of which I'm aware of making these sorts of frags, but not formulating them to a strict (read: cheap as possible) price point for department store counters. They perform like they a good fragrance should.
That being said, I think Althair is boring and can't think of a single scenario where I would want to wear Althair where I wouldn't be happier wearing Carlisle or Herod. I don't dislike it because it's mass appealing, I just think it's kinda boring. 6/10 is right.
What does hyped mean ?!
Everyone is talking about it
Everybody has become too spoiled and poisoned by the Fragrance community. This fragrance smells absolutely fantastic. I have smelled both fragrances that they compare this to and they are 100% the same. One can say the same thing about Oriana And don’t be shy. But honestly, what the fuck is the point? I guarantee you you don’t say that when you buy a pair of Nikes and those shoes are completely overpriced as well And everyone buys into the hype of those. The fragrance smells amazing and Projects extremely well. The one thing I respect is that he says this is his opinion, and everyone is entitled to that. But what something is worth Is merely opinion. I have black Interlude, and I have althair I get double triple the compliments off althair. I’ve actually had a few people be repulsed by black iris, even though I like it
I could not agree with you more.
There is a difference between smelling good and smelling unique.
When you wanna smell good there is only so much you can do,
Most of the fragrances that make you smell good have vanilla,amber,citrus,fruits,(maybe tobacco,rum, chocolate if done right) that's pretty much it.
How creative can you be with these notes?! They will smell eventually a bit similar to one another.
People in the fragrance community gets way too nitpicky about these things. They will say that they wear fragrances for themselves but most viewed videos are of girls reacting to fragrances. 😂 Then proceed to say,"these people have no taste, it's the best fragrance."
@@exploretheinternet2334 thank you. Like damn man. Couldn’t have said it better
Agreed.
First of all you said layton and showed Percival in the video 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Second thing : 90 % of what you can smell in this fragnance is praline and ambroxane, so how come you dont smell praline in praline based parfume as a fragnance reviewer ? XD
And no , it is not similar to anything you've mentioned in this video
At this point i don't even buy bottles anymore, just decants of frags praised by Omar
Same
That was Percival not layton🥲
Well I will pass on this one Omar, thank you for the review.
I got a sample of this and got instantly reminded of hugo boss bottled intense, certainly wont be buying a full bottle.
PDM Althaïr should be pronounced : Altha ir😉 Umlaut on the i ‼️ Hamid Merati-Kashani will be happy now ☺️
I tried it at a PDM story by me and was not impressed. It is like they made a fragrance for fragrance whales. The people that have enough money to blow on a 300 buck frag and not even blink.
Guys I'm going to start my own youtube channel. Where I'm going to be reviewing fragrance but also im going to be reviewing videos like this one. Someone have to call out some of these reviewers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Go ahead, good luck 😂
Very uninspireing release. Smells good but you can find similar vibe fragrances for much lower price
I live the bottle and packing, but its a easy pass for me spend my money elsewhere ✋🏽
Strongly disagree I give this a 9/10 I chose it over Carlisle after sampling both much more versatile
You played assassins creed?
Man of taste i see
الطائر ابن لا احد.
You gave this 6 out of 10 , but you gave mancera royal Vanilla a 9 out of 10 🙄🙄🙄🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. Makes no sense, royal Vanilla smells like every other mancera / montale vanilla heavy fragrance. However this fragrance gets a low score 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah I think that’s right, Althair gets cloying while Royal is more consistent, is better priced and doesn’t feel like it’s stealing ideas from designer scents. It’s a fair critique that Mancera do have overlapping scent profiles within their own brand but that’s a different point.
@SchoolofScent well i have smelled both, and I think Mancera royal Vanilla its basically every mancera / montale vanilla heavy fragrance for the same price. And if you have a few mancera / montale fragrance buying royal vanilla is basically throwing your money away. For that just save that money and buy parfums de marly althair. Does althaïr have a designer vibe? yes but it does it very well and at a higher quality and scent trail. So giving royal vanilla a 9 out of 10 is a completely joke. It should definitely lose points for smelling like any other mancera / montale fragrance.
@SchoolofScent and althaïr doesn't get cloying on my skin 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ smells amazing.
Great opening, disappointing dry down
This is bang average, its pleasant but its not distinctive in any way to warrant the price. Way over rated as are PDM as a brand. The only PDM I like is oajan. Every other one I've tried have all been MEH. including the much lauded Leyton. They've all been pleasant inoffensive but nothing makes them stand out. For the money PDM charge I expect much more oomph. Quite boring.
You should try Carlisle 👌
@SchoolofScent thanks , I did try that a while back with a whole host of pdm , wasn't to impressed but I do plan on revisiting them soon for a second opinion. Much like most of kilians I've sampled. Underwhelmed especially for the price. I'll give them all a second airing though. 👍
Hair transplant or broken heather? 😂
Just kidding
why cant people spell altair? no one played assassin’s creed?
u spelled it wrong yourself
I disagree.
