Carlisle has always been my favorite PdM. It is similar (but better) than Red Tobacco, but it actually came before Red Tobacco, so... I get Layton's universal mass appeal, but it's not quite dynamic enough for me to love it like almost everyone else does.
It's definitely Herod, Oajan and Layton for me. Although I really enjoy Sedley, Kalan and Haltane! Pegasus if I'm feeling extraordinary 😅. Thank you Ash! Great video as usual
Greenley got judged quite harshly here. I think that making a summer scent as amazing as Greenley should move it towards the top. It would 100% be in my top 5
Greenly is my favorite from the house. It's one of my daily drivers. To me it's better then sedley and percival. Which routinely get rated higher then it.
Honestly, for me it belongs there, it smells like fresh-cut grass, nothing special, really just a basic scent formula which you can find in many cheaper scents.
Love the house of PDM. Haltane is my signature scent - opening is similar to OFG but the dry-down of Haltane is where it shines. Carlisle is a masterpiece and one I wear in fall and winter. Sedley is my spring/summer signature scent.
I am always intrigued by anyone who managed to appreciate Kalan. I tried it with a group of friends and we were taken aback by the scent. But to each his/her own, and whats important is the wearer's appreciation.
Kalan is in my top 5 PdM fragrances as well. Its so strange how people are turned off by this one, some comparing it to TF Noir Anthracite 🤯, which is mind blowing to me...Kalan has a deep sweet cotton candy vibe, to me its similar to CdN Untold which is a clone of BR540...
Layton and Pegasus are the most wearable for me. The rest that I’ve smelled seem to only work for certain occasions. If it’s not versatile I’m just not all that interested. The Exclusif flankers are very nice too and different enough to get as well as the originals.
I love Kalan. I actually just finally bought a bottle! I will say it seems like the least PDM fragrance that they have. And probably the most niche selling. It is a bit odd and earthy, but it personally one of my favourites and I think it’ll become a frequent wear for me.
Thanks Ash for another great video. I have 5 PDMS and Layton was my first on the list. But now as I get older it came down on the list. Herod is my favorite but I think Kalan is much underrated. It’s one of my favorite.
Layton and Oud for Greatness were the two frags that got me started down the black hole of niche fragrances. I now own 250 fragrances. Many I don’t wear. Layton and LE are still my most worn fragrances.
I have Layton Exclusif, Pegasus Exclusif, Herod and Carlisle. They’re all amazing! I didn’t really like the regular Layton all that much but Exclusif is amazing.
Exclusif turns to charred bbq burnt wood scent after an hour on skin. I tried to love it over and over..topsoil with charred wood finish..my wife thought I sat by a bonfire all day after I wore Exlusif..to each his own I guess..I cant stand it..Opening is out of this world..but then it turns to burnt rubber with topsoil
@@yaro-8 Yeah it is very smoky! I know it is an either you love it or you hate it type of fragrance. To me, the opening is what is super different from the original. After it dries down I feel like the original starts to come out more which is why I preferred this one. The original Layton to me was a bit basic, just vanilla. I went for this because it added a nice razzle dazzle but I agree it is definitely not something I would wear every day.
You wound me grievously Sir!! Kalan is impeccable just like a wonderfully tailored suit! We should meet on the field of honor to duel at dawn! Kidding, wore Kalan to work and a young woman told me I smelled "Old".😂 Nice list, very hard house to rank. Cheers🎉🎉🎉
pretty solid, I prefer layton exclusive over Layton.. I feel it smells more expensive, opulent, versatile, and personal daily scent worthy .I also really enjoy Haltane and get alot of compliments and comments asking for info on that one too
My top 3 are Herod, Carlisle, and Oajan. Own only Herod, have Marly's samples of the others including Layton. Layton is not one that I gravitate towards too much. Same thing for clones and inspired-by's like Detour Noir, Boss Bottled Intense, Hillfiger Impact Intense. I have the first two of those and honestly, never feel inclined to smell or wear them.
I love Kalan, it’s very classy and elegant , my favorites are: Herod, Layton Exclusif, Carlisle, and Oajan. Percival I don’t see why is so popular, I have it and received lots of compliments when wear it, but it’s not my kind !
Layton, Sedley/Greenley, Herod would make my top 3, followed by Kalan. Yeah, I kind of like that a lot in winter time, as it's different from your basic spicy cinnamon vanilla bomb xmas vibe scent. Quite unique.
@@hanmorpheus6847He didn't get it wrong anymore than you did. He just doesn't like it. I didn't like Kalan either. But I only like a couple of their fragrances to begin with, so everyone's mileage varies.
Can't disagree too much. My top 3 are #1. Carlyle (at first I wasn't a fan, time went by...about a yr n half and thought I'd give it a whirl again. Cold weather is best for this so it was just recently. It has grown on me. #2. Sedley....love at first sniff. Love the mint in it..great for summer and even fall. #3. Layton..(again, like Carlyle it's been sitting on my shelf...just recently picked it up again and it's crazy medicinal at first for me but once it settles down it's a beautiful scent. Carlyle and Layton your gonna smell for days after. Love your content brother 👍
My top 5 after owning or trying them all: 1. Carlisle 2. Layton 3. Layton Exclusif 4. Herod 5. Oujan The others are all decent but not sure if bottle worthy. Sedley and Percival are ok.
I love PDM, I have 6 currently and will probably own more! Hard to disagree with your number 1 choice, I do really like Percival though! My top 3 would be Percival, Althair and Layton probably.
I just tried percival for the first time today and I really like it. Im not really getting all the similarities to fierce and legend though.. to me it definitely has a different smell, but I like it a lot still
@@TheChurchIsLikenUntoTheMoon No, Christ loves all people. Christ wants His children to come to him, but he loves you regardless. That doesn't mean you can't choose to be away from him and thusly reap the consequences.
Living in a hot and humid area all year round and it probably effects the love for scent 1) PERCIVAL > everyday 2) SEDLEY > super hot days 3) GALLOWAY > work 4) HALTANE or LAYTON > night ALL PDM are great by the way. One above all for me.
I'd personally switch Percival and Sedley and maybe Layton Exclusif with Oajan (possibly even put Layton Exclusif at number 2 - yeah, I love the Layton DNA), but otherwise solid list
The only one i own is greenley as i love the scent profile. Layton is amazing herod and Carlisle also, tried Percival and sedley neither lasted over an hour on me, sedley lasted 30 minutes.
My personal favorite PdM fragrances that I own: 1. Sedley 2. Carlisle 3. Layton 4. Oajan 5. Herod Sedley has surprised me the most, first I was indifferent but with time it grew on me to the point that I was spraying it on every sunny day. With Carlisle I had some of my best memories, that's why it's on number 2. Layton was my first PdM, wasn't that much impressed at first but with time you can see how special and versatile it is. Oajan is the most interesting of them all IMO, very potent. Herod is probably a little bit overhyped but it's still a great fragrance really.
Funny how everyone is a little different. Pegasus is probably my absolute fav “non-fresher” scent of all time. My mom saw me smelling myself once and said “that looks like it is your olfactory happy place”. 😂
Like the list. The one I really miss is Akaster. VERY curious to that one! It's the one that is not talked about. EDIT: Okay... I got Akaster in from the UK. Unfortunately it is very hard to get in The Netherlands. But it is AMAZING!! Opening is indeed a bit harsh, but after a few minutes.. YOU'RE THE MAN! 😍
Layton Exclusif is very polarizing. You're either going to like it or you might run to scrub if off. Personally, I thought it smelled disgusting and gave my sample away as soon as I could. How it makes it to the top of some lists blows my mind, but to each their own. In the end, there are scents out there for everyone 👍
I have 7 PDMs, then the video starts and 4 of my PDMs are in the bottom 5 😂😂 thankfully the other 3 are in the top 5….Hugely disagree on Kalan though, the opening is pretty weird but the dry-down is very pleasant and addictive..my own ranking: 8- Godolphin 7- Galloway 6- Percival (don’t have it now but tried and tested it many times before) 5- Pegasus 4- Kalan 3- Carlisle 2- Layton 1- Herod (tobacco king..ironically this was my least favorite PDM when I first got it)
I love the house of Parfums de marly! For me it would be really hard to rank these fragrances because i love alot of them. I had a sample of oajan and now need to pick up a bottle of it soon!
I just blind buy layton exclusif. I was shocked at how much different it is to the original! So much so i actually thought i bought the wrong frag. Ppl saying they are similar, i strongly disagree. Exclusif is dark, mean and gives no excuses. I recomend smelling before buying.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. For me Kalan is a must have in your collection. All of PDM fragrances are unique and unusual to me and you can’t go wrong with any of their colognes. My personal Favorites: Kalan, Pegasus, Pegasus Exclusif, Layton Exclusif, Haltane, Althier, Sedley, Godolphin and Carlisle.
I think the best one overall is Percival 4 seasons versatile, second is Layton for the winter for the date is Herod, I didn’t try the last one from PDM.
Yes, of all the ones he reviewed, Percival is the most versatile...as most blue fragrances are. To me, Layton is a three season beast, but I think shines best in cool, but not cold, weather. One of my favorite fall fragrances.
In no particular order, my top 5 are Haltane, Oajan, Carlisle, and this will be controversial to some but I dig Greenley and Darley in the warm weather. Honorable mention…Layton, Herod, Percival, Pegasus. Another hot take, I dislike Sedley. I go nose blind to it so for the price, its a terrible buy for me because I can’t smell it after an hour.
interesting i went to the PDM storefront in NYC and spent about 3 hours with the marketing director for the company, trying lots and lots of scents. maybe the marketing director was biased and trying to oversell me on Galloway and Pegasus but i came away feeling like those two in particular worked on my skin the best. that was many years ago now though, so i think i'm gonna full deep dive into getting my PDM (and all other fragrances) collection built back up, gonna start with Layton blind and go from there i appreciate the comparison of, say, Lalique White to Galloway. while i appreciate the high quality of PDM in general, a 90% discount for a very similar scent is a no-brainer 😅 instant sub! looking forward to consuming much more of your content as i build back up my collection!
Top 3 for me would be: 1. Layton 2. Carlisle (magic juice, would be on top but it is less versatile than Layton) / Herod 3. Darley / Percival Why was Darley not mentioned? Highly underrated. Regarding the comparison with Red Tobacco, which is awesome, I think Herod is much more comparable to Red Tobacco than Carlisle. But Carlisle and Herod are also very similar. I wonder if it is worth to have all 3 of them? (RT, Carlisle and Herod)
Rocking Percival today - just fantastic. As an early 2000's mall kid, it's got a special place in my heart. It's the pinnacle of that DNA - high quality and classy. Just recently got a decant of Greenley and was really unpleasantly surprised - I don't get any "apple shampoo" vibes, it reminds me of "dry weeds", like you just mowed down some random dried up vegetation, lol 😅.
Loving PDM's... The only full bottle I have of PDM is Carlisle, And that's a great fragrance I love it and my sotd is Roberto cavalli Uomo Golden Anniversary the limited edition one that's probably the hardest one to find smells great love it (Edit: I noticed you didn't put Habdan into this list, that is one of my favorite PDMs along with Carlisle and Layton)
Great video. You influenced my choices for scent box I chose oajan for December and Layton exclusive for January. I know you won’t steer me wrong brother.. keep up the great work..🔥🔥🔥
Great video Ash. I really wanted this type of video from you to know which ones i should look out for. Although Pegasus in rank 13 is wild haha. Could you do one for Amouage as well?
Let me say. Kalan is my most complimented PDM fragrance and the one with better performances. I don’t like Layton a lot. Hate on percival the worst I tried! I love Oajan and Harod, full bottle in my collection with the red one Kalan! Cheers
Kalan is one of their best fragrances imo, the drydown is intoxicating. My top 3 from PDM in no particular order are Carlisle, Kalan and Layton Excluisif
15. 1:32 Kalan
14. 2:49 Galloway
13. 3:59 Pegasus
12. 5:14 Greenley

🎉🎉 thanks
Carlisle has always been my favorite PdM. It is similar (but better) than Red Tobacco, but it actually came before Red Tobacco, so... I get Layton's universal mass appeal, but it's not quite dynamic enough for me to love it like almost everyone else does.
Carlisle. Herod. Sedley. Thats pdm for me, everything else is meh.
Layton is unique enough for daily wear at not unique enough for anything situational imo
It's definitely Herod, Oajan and Layton for me. Although I really enjoy Sedley, Kalan and Haltane! Pegasus if I'm feeling extraordinary 😅. Thank you Ash! Great video as usual
Haltane is great, I prefer it over the Oud for Greatness
I just got a sample of oajan at its amazing imo
Greenley got judged quite harshly here. I think that making a summer scent as amazing as Greenley should move it towards the top. It would 100% be in my top 5
I agree, I recently bought Greenley and my gf and I are very happy with the scent. Not the top 5 of PDM, but still a nice scent
Nah it should be where its at, all of the other are better IMO
I bought greenley, it's a beautiful fresh unusual scent I love it.
Greenly is my favorite from the house. It's one of my daily drivers. To me it's better then sedley and percival. Which routinely get rated higher then it.
Honestly, for me it belongs there, it smells like fresh-cut grass, nothing special, really just a basic scent formula which you can find in many cheaper scents.
Love the house of PDM. Haltane is my signature scent - opening is similar to OFG but the dry-down of Haltane is where it shines. Carlisle is a masterpiece and one I wear in fall and winter. Sedley is my spring/summer signature scent.
Agree, it’s like OFG but I like it more as it’s a bit more wearable
Layton is the only one that really blew me away at first smell. LOVE Layton, haven’t been huge on the other ones.
Pretty much. There’s Layton and Herod, and then everything else. Lol
Facts i think the whole house is terrible but layton is just amazing its the best of all colognes
And Layton exclusive
I absolutely love Kalan. It's probably my #4 behind Layton Exclusif, Carlisle, and Herod
I am always intrigued by anyone who managed to appreciate Kalan. I tried it with a group of friends and we were taken aback by the scent. But to each his/her own, and whats important is the wearer's appreciation.
It's disgusting
Complete garbage....had a sample and couldn't even stand to wear it
Kalan is in my top 5 PdM fragrances as well. Its so strange how people are turned off by this one, some comparing it to TF Noir Anthracite 🤯, which is mind blowing to me...Kalan has a deep sweet cotton candy vibe, to me its similar to CdN Untold which is a clone of BR540...
Also, love Kalan was sampling it when it first came out and a girlfriend at the time said "You smell like Christmas"
I agree with your order for the most part. The one missing that is in my top 5 is Habdan.
Layton and Pegasus are the most wearable for me. The rest that I’ve smelled seem to only work for certain occasions. If it’s not versatile I’m just not all that interested. The Exclusif flankers are very nice too and different enough to get as well as the originals.
What about sedley
@@CUTROPE Have not smelled it.
Layton, pegasus and sedly 123
althair is an easy everyday wear in my opinion
Problem with versatile scents is they all start smelling about the same in chase of that versatility.
Layton, Sedley and Percival are definitely the most mass appealing and therefore will get you the most compliments, that’s for sure 💯
An overlooked PDM is Darley. Nothing too crazy about it, but for me it’s like a more refined JPG Le Male
Yes!!
Yet again Habdan gets overlooked, never gets a mention and is a beautiful fragrance.
YUP FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT
Agreed
Akaster also is underrated imo.
Completely agree, Habdan is so addictive!
Yes I love The Habdan too
I get a ton of compliments with Althair layered with Polo red parfum. Oajan is by far my favorite from the brand and Habdan a close second.
I love Kalan. I actually just finally bought a bottle!
I will say it seems like the least PDM fragrance that they have. And probably the most niche selling. It is a bit odd and earthy, but it personally one of my favourites and I think it’ll become a frequent wear for me.
Kalan the best my favorite after Haltane and Carlisle
I got kalan in cart right debating on that, ojan. Herod, althair. What you think
Thanks Ash for another great video. I have 5 PDMS and Layton was my first on the list. But now as I get older it came down on the list. Herod is my favorite but I think Kalan is much underrated. It’s one of my favorite.
Kalan 👍
Pegasus Exclusif is a #1 in my book!
Oajan #2
Layton #3
For me
1- haltane
2- Herod
3- Althair
4- Layton
Depends on my mood Herod and althair may switch spots but haltane is always number 1
Kalan is a win. Plenty of “what are you wearing” from that fragrance, I’ve never understood the hate it gets.
kalan #1
Kalan is my # 1 too..He dropped the ball on this review 😅
so true, Kalan best PdM scent for me.
@@CR-pw9ilcrazy how someone's preferences differing from yours equates to "dropping the ball".
@@chusett It’s banter relax …Obviously fragrances are subjective
I agree with your top 2, but no.3 for me would be Habdan, which you completely left out.
Habdan is awesome 👍
Hello Ash, can you please do a ranking for Kilian. Really interested on your perspective on some of their fragrances. Thanks
Rocking the old 78% formulation Layton.. It's gorgeous
Brilliant video, congrats.
I have tried only 11 PDM frags so far, this is my ranking:
🥇 Layton
🥈 Greenley
🥉 Layton Exclusif
4 - Althaïr
5 - Oajan
6 - Pegasus
7 - Herod
8 - Haltane
9 - Carlisle
10 - Percival
11 - Godolphin
100% agree with your top 3
Would move Greenley to number one, but other than that, great list.
Greenley is my most complimented frag out of great collection of around 90. It is a beastmode scent on my skin.
Layton and Oud for Greatness were the two frags that got me started down the black hole of niche fragrances. I now own 250 fragrances. Many I don’t wear. Layton and LE are still my most worn fragrances.
😮
I don't know how people afford such things
Top 3: Kalan 3, Carlisle2 and Layton1. I have gotten many more compliments with Kalan than any other PDM I own.
it's because kalan smells better on the skin and on the dry down it's literally the best PDM. most people smell the opening and just shy away from it.
we all have preferences. what is your favorite?@@BourbonInhibitions
My favorite PdM is Oajan. Hands down.
I have Layton Exclusif, Pegasus Exclusif, Herod and Carlisle. They’re all amazing!
I didn’t really like the regular Layton all that much but Exclusif is amazing.
Exclusif turns to charred bbq burnt wood scent after an hour on skin.

I actually enjoy Kalan quite a bit 😅
pretty solid, I prefer layton exclusive over Layton.. I feel it smells more expensive, opulent, versatile, and personal daily scent worthy .I also really enjoy Haltane and get alot of compliments and comments asking for info on that one too
I get Dior Elixir vibe from Haltane, i prefer that over Haltane a little more.
My top 3 are Herod, Carlisle, and Oajan. Own only Herod, have Marly's samples of the others including Layton. Layton is not one that I gravitate towards too much. Same thing for clones and inspired-by's like Detour Noir, Boss Bottled Intense, Hillfiger Impact Intense. I have the first two of those and honestly, never feel inclined to smell or wear them.
I was bored and looking for a video to watch and then I got the notification for this video, thanks Ash!
I love Kalan, it’s very classy and elegant , my favorites are: Herod, Layton Exclusif, Carlisle, and Oajan. Percival I don’t see why is so popular, I have it and received lots of compliments when wear it, but it’s not my kind !
It took Layton Exclusive a while to grow on me but I love it now
Layton, Sedley/Greenley, Herod would make my top 3, followed by Kalan. Yeah, I kind of like that a lot in winter time, as it's different from your basic spicy cinnamon vanilla bomb xmas vibe scent. Quite unique.
Kalan is noticed by everyone when I wear it. I keep it top of my list. Don't know how this review got it wrong.

Is sedley more long lasting then greenly
@@danieloliva505 not to my senses. But it's not far off. Different kind of scent. Less sweet compared to Greenley.

My top 5 after owning or trying them all:
1. Carlisle
2. Layton
3. Layton Exclusif
4. Herod
5. Oujan
The others are all decent but not sure if bottle worthy. Sedley and Percival are ok.
I love PDM, I have 6 currently and will probably own more! Hard to disagree with your number 1 choice, I do really like Percival though! My top 3 would be Percival, Althair and Layton probably.
I just tried percival for the first time today and I really like it. Im not really getting all the similarities to fierce and legend though.. to me it definitely has a different smell, but I like it a lot still
Love this concept! You should do more of these
My top 3 are (3) Herod, (2) Greenley, (1) Carlisle. Then Laton and Oajon for 4 and 5. I have most of those as well except the new one and Sedly.
I have tried all the niche and designer fragrances
Layton is the best I have ever tried in terms of scent and quality

Living in a hot and humid area all year round and it probably effects the love for scent
1) PERCIVAL > everyday
2) SEDLEY > super hot days
3) GALLOWAY > work
4) HALTANE or LAYTON > night
ALL PDM are great by the way. One above all for me.
I'd personally switch Percival and Sedley and maybe Layton Exclusif with Oajan (possibly even put Layton Exclusif at number 2 - yeah, I love the Layton DNA), but otherwise solid list
Oajan and Galloway are two of my go to fragrances. I know Galloway is pretty far down on the list, but that is one of my most asked about fragrances.
I love Galloway. I just order Haltane
Greenley is definitely a top five. Great longevity.
Habdan is about 6 for me. It knocked Michael Kors, Michael out of my autumn run!
Carlisle, Herod, Habdan, Nisean and Layton are my top 5. Own quite a few others but those to me, are the most defining.
The only one i own is greenley as i love the scent profile. Layton is amazing herod and Carlisle also, tried Percival and sedley neither lasted over an hour on me, sedley lasted 30 minutes.
That’s odd, I find those two perform well on me, especially Percival
My personal favorite PdM fragrances that I own:
1. Sedley
2. Carlisle
3. Layton
4. Oajan
5. Herod
Sedley has surprised me the most, first I was indifferent but with time it grew on me to the point that I was spraying it on every sunny day. With Carlisle I had some of my best memories, that's why it's on number 2. Layton was my first PdM, wasn't that much impressed at first but with time you can see how special and versatile it is. Oajan is the most interesting of them all IMO, very potent. Herod is probably a little bit overhyped but it's still a great fragrance really.
I agree with the list. I would’ve ranked Carlise. My top three Layton, Carlise, Percival in that order
1: Layton
2: Pegasus
3: Kalan
4: Carlisle
5: Oajan
6: Godolphin
7: Herod
8: Haltane
Funny how everyone is a little different. Pegasus is probably my absolute fav “non-fresher” scent of all time. My mom saw me smelling myself once and said “that looks like it is your olfactory happy place”. 😂

Layton Exclusif is very polarizing. You're either going to like it or you might run to scrub if off. Personally, I thought it smelled disgusting and gave my sample away as soon as I could. How it makes it to the top of some lists blows my mind, but to each their own. In the end, there are scents out there for everyone 👍
Same here
Yes !!!! Thank you !!Exlusif drydown smells like burnt rubber tire in detroit
@@yaro-8 Woah, you made it to the drydown? 🤣 I remember scrubbing it off multiple times (potent juice)
My top ones:
1. Carlisle
2. Oajan
3. Habdan
4. Layton
5. Pegasus
6. Herod
I have 7 PDMs, then the video starts and 4 of my PDMs are in the bottom 5 😂😂 thankfully the other 3 are in the top 5….Hugely disagree on Kalan though, the opening is pretty weird but the dry-down is very pleasant and addictive..my own ranking:
8- Godolphin
7- Galloway
6- Percival (don’t have it now but tried and tested it many times before)
5- Pegasus
4- Kalan
3- Carlisle
2- Layton
1- Herod (tobacco king..ironically this was my least favorite PDM when I first got it)
Try halt and it will probably be in your top 3
Great video. I like your list. I will personally put Galloway in my Top 5. I love the fragrance, the smell so fresh and clean.
Boss bottled parfum is extremely close to Galloway at $65!!!
Hot tip. Layer Layton with Layton exclusif 2 to 1 and you get all the magic of both
I love the house of Parfums de marly! For me it would be really hard to rank these fragrances because i love alot of them. I had a sample of oajan and now need to pick up a bottle of it soon!
You’re a fantastic reviewer. Straight to the points, succinct, not try-hard, likeable.
Keep it up bro
For me
1) CARLISLE (All Time Favorite)
2) HEROD
3) LAYTON
I have all 3.
I’m considering Layton Exclusif & Althair.
Recently got Althair and Haltane from Notino with 20% discount 😊
I just blind buy layton exclusif. I was shocked at how much different it is to the original! So much so i actually thought i bought the wrong frag. Ppl saying they are similar, i strongly disagree. Exclusif is dark, mean and gives no excuses. I recomend smelling before buying.
I thought the opposite, couldn't believe how similar they are and questioned if I needed both.
Haltane is grossly underrated
Yeah but its to expensive😢
1: Oajan
2: Leyton
3: Greenly
You're all set 👌🏽
I got into the PDM house and Kilian House because of you … just want to say Thank you!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. For me Kalan is a must have in your collection. All of PDM fragrances are unique and unusual to me and you can’t go wrong with any of their colognes. My personal Favorites: Kalan, Pegasus, Pegasus Exclusif, Layton Exclusif, Haltane, Althier, Sedley, Godolphin and Carlisle.
I think the best one overall is Percival 4 seasons versatile, second is Layton for the winter for the date is Herod, I didn’t try the last one from PDM.
Yes, of all the ones he reviewed, Percival is the most versatile...as most blue fragrances are. To me, Layton is a three season beast, but I think shines best in cool, but not cold, weather. One of my favorite fall fragrances.
In no particular order, my top 5 are Haltane, Oajan, Carlisle, and this will be controversial to some but I dig Greenley and Darley in the warm weather. Honorable mention…Layton, Herod, Percival, Pegasus. Another hot take, I dislike Sedley. I go nose blind to it so for the price, its a terrible buy for me because I can’t smell it after an hour.
Just broke down, & bought my 1st Layton cologne tonight. If anyone is gonna splurge, go ahead w/this fragrance. Freaking AMAZING!!!
Another great video, Ash! I’d love to see you rank the house of Amouage.
I think Kalan is the only thing I’ve ever disagreed with on your opinion, I freaking love it!
interesting
i went to the PDM storefront in NYC and spent about 3 hours with the marketing director for the company, trying lots and lots of scents. maybe the marketing director was biased and trying to oversell me on Galloway and Pegasus but i came away feeling like those two in particular worked on my skin the best.
that was many years ago now though, so i think i'm gonna full deep dive into getting my PDM (and all other fragrances) collection built back up, gonna start with Layton blind and go from there
i appreciate the comparison of, say, Lalique White to Galloway. while i appreciate the high quality of PDM in general, a 90% discount for a very similar scent is a no-brainer 😅
instant sub! looking forward to consuming much more of your content as i build back up my collection!
My top 5 PDMs...
1. Layton
2. Herod
3. Carlisle
4. Pegasus
5. Sedley
Layton, Oajan, Carlisle, Herod, and Haltane are my top 5 with Layton 100 percent taking the number one spot.
Layton was my first niche fragrance 🔥
Top 3 for me would be:
1. Layton
2. Carlisle (magic juice, would be on top but it is less versatile than Layton) / Herod
3. Darley / Percival
Why was Darley not mentioned? Highly underrated.
Regarding the comparison with Red Tobacco, which is awesome, I think Herod is much more comparable to Red Tobacco than Carlisle. But Carlisle and Herod are also very similar. I wonder if it is worth to have all 3 of them? (RT, Carlisle and Herod)
Im rocking with Althair this fall/winter 🔥
Rocking Percival today - just fantastic. As an early 2000's mall kid, it's got a special place in my heart. It's the pinnacle of that DNA - high quality and classy.
Just recently got a decant of Greenley and was really unpleasantly surprised - I don't get any "apple shampoo" vibes, it reminds me of "dry weeds", like you just mowed down some random dried up vegetation, lol 😅.
Loving PDM's... The only full bottle I have of PDM is Carlisle, And that's a great fragrance I love it and my sotd is Roberto cavalli Uomo Golden Anniversary the limited edition one that's probably the hardest one to find smells great love it (Edit: I noticed you didn't put Habdan into this list, that is one of my favorite PDMs along with Carlisle and Layton)
Is maxaroma a safe place to buy from?
Great video. You influenced my choices for scent box I chose oajan for December and Layton exclusive for January. I know you won’t steer me wrong brother.. keep up the great work..🔥🔥🔥
Oajan is awesome. Great stuff. And I love Layton exclusif. That is my next full bottle from PDM I will get. It smells so expensive and high end!
Top 3 for me:
1) Haltane
2) Herod
3) Carlisle
Kalan gives me tons of compliments, is a beautiful smell
1. Carlisle, 2. Layton 3. Greenley 4. Oajan, 5. Habdan, 6. Percival, 7. Althaïr, 8. Sedley, 9. Haltane, 10. Layton Exclusif, 11. Pegasus 12. Darley, 14. Kuhuyan, 15. Galloway
I always appreciate these ranking videos so I at least know where to start in what to buy.
Great video Ash. I really wanted this type of video from you to know which ones i should look out for. Although Pegasus in rank 13 is wild haha. Could you do one for Amouage as well?
My favourites PDM are Haltan > Oujan > Herod > Althair > Sedley. Layton is pretty much ok, but i wouldnt buy another bottle again.
Amazing video!! Do Initio next!
I'm loving that Drakkar has pride of place on the wall behind you!!!
Herod, Layton, Oajan, Pegasus, Sedley, Haltane, Percival. Those are the ones I like the most.
I think Godolphin is closer to Ombre leather by TF. Great vid! Thanks keep it up.
Let me say. Kalan is my most complimented PDM fragrance and the one with better performances. I don’t like Layton a lot. Hate on percival the worst I tried!
I love Oajan and Harod, full bottle in my collection with the red one Kalan! Cheers
I’m not even trying to be contrary and all that . But nothing but compliments for me with Galloway bro bro
Habdan never gets the attention it deserves, imo. Its in my top 3 for sure with Carlisle and Herod. Keep the videos coming, Ash 👍
Hey Ash! Love the video. Let’s do a top 10 of some other lesser known houses like Clive Christian, Argos, House of Oud, etc. etc.
Greetings From Brazil, Herod and Layton are beasts
I love love Parfums de Marly Habdan it's probably my Favorite Cologne in my Collection
Kalan is one of their best fragrances imo, the drydown is intoxicating. My top 3 from PDM in no particular order are Carlisle, Kalan and Layton Excluisif
I just got into fragrances and was buying decants but just couldnt stop going back to Layton!
