Honestly enjoy this sort of fragrance content above all others! Very happy to sub and I hope you’ll make impressions/sampling videos a regular part of your output.
Thanks! I think I established a concept I like and I have many comparisons in the list. I plan to release a 1st impression every 2-3 videos coming forward ❤️
AMOUAGE. PDM can kick rocks
🤣
Agree…
Always hoped you’d start doing impressions! Cheers 😀
Yeah, I knew you’d be good at this 🤣 But thank you for putting this together Daniel and the idea of linking together what you’re smelling is a very nice touch!
Thanks so much and glad I didn’t disappoint!More to come 🙃
Your style perfectly fits these first impression videos because you hold nothing back! Very candid and even your face expresses everything. I don’t mind the length really because I’d rather watch an actual impressions video than a heavily filtered and edited one. I hope that makes sense. lol
I also kind of disagree that PdM doesn’t have an identity like Mancera. Mancera is totally all over the place while PdM’s schtick, to me at least, is the elevated or high quality designer fragrances. I’ve tried several and I can name a designer perfume comparison for each one of them. Any thoughts on its sister brand Initio? I prefer Initio over PdM. They are mostly linear fragrances but they all successfully deliver a certain vibe or story..
Excuse the rambling comment. Haha great work Daniel.
No need to excuse yourself!
Yes, PDM has way more brand identity than Mancera. What I meant was for the actual fragrance and scent style, as they offer ‘a bit of everything’ with no underlying idea. This is not only they issue by all means, Xerjoff also has this but they somewhat manage to package their fragrances in lines or collections to ‘organize them’, leaving the user a little less ‘stranded’ 🙂
Before I watch this one, I got to say, as a man who owns 3 bottles of PDM, including Layton, if anyone considers them, you might as well skip this brand entirely and move to something more fun, like Amouage.
I do wear Greenley and Sedley @ work simply because they're so easy, and I do like them, but I also think they're boring to the point they're absolutely not worth the price, and hardly deserves the "niche" status.
I have Layton Exclusive , Honestly PDM is a great beginner friendly mass appealing niche house, but their marketing never intrigued me so I just completely overlook them.
(A brand that did it right for me for example is Acqua Di Parma, amazing marketing).
I would have never gotten it if not heavily discounted.
This fragrance was an AWESOME surprise!! I like it a lot, the oud/animalic does give it that interesting sophisticated twist that makes me feel great while wearing it for an intimate night out.
The "animalic" part at least in my bottle (I think it's about 4 years old) is a lot more prominent than you describe but probably got stronger with time, are Amouages prone to this as well in your experience? (changing over time)
Great vid concept! Similar notes, different smell. Great.
LOVE King Blue! In heavy rotation. lol def not a citrus or blue freshie.
Yeah I noticed 😅
How would you describe King Blue?
I’d say intense Indian Oud tempered with sweet dark fruit.
You’re eating up with this long form content, beautiful depiction of fragrance yet again, gave me a great insight as to why not to reject or get a fragrance solely based on the notes chart.
Ps.Putting in a request to review Memo Paris as a brand.
I need to fully explore Memo, they seem really interesting! I have a first impression video lined up to be shot featuring Memo’s Russian Leather to start 🙂
@@SeldomlyOften they're very intriguing, I need your opinion on the whole leather like , but specifically for the Italian leather.
@@abhideeptiwari4268 I’ll keep that in mind 🙂
I like King Blue more because it's more interesting. Unfortunately I already bought LE. Honestly after a year it's a purchase I regret. The Amber comes across as screechy and synthetic whereas KB smells very natural into the drydown.
If I would to choose between the two I would definitely go King Blue as well. For sure a more interesting fragrance 👍
LE is one of my all time faves. Give me a good deal on it and I’ll buy it as a back up bottle!
@@dorianducker4802 I don’t have a bottle, this was just a sample 🙂
Both of them are solid scents, I'm on the fence on which one is better, I'd definetly suggest if you think Exclusif is animalic, smell "King Blue" first, I dont think either are overly animalic, if you smell Frederic Malle "The Night" that's pure barnyard oud.I appreciate the artistry of these both, and they are done by the same perfumer.
@@bchvacservices I wore Leyton Exclusive again and couple times and did not find it hard to wear or animalic at all. I have a high tolerance for this stuff usually so that might be the case. Never tried “The Night”, very expensive stuff 😬
@SeldomlyOften Very expensive yes, definitely a must try though If you're a niche enthusiast, there is another one coming out as well in the Desert Gems Collection of Frederic Malle called "Hope" very stoked on trying this one cause it's perfumer is Dominique Ropion.
@@bchvacservices oh boy! One from my fav! Yeah I know these are must tries but I need to go to a shop or something (which I don’t have nearby). Thanks for the tip!
@SeldomlyOften You will not be disappointed, the Desert Gems Collection is absolute!! 🔥
Oh I can tell this is going to be good! Congratulations on your first, first impressions! 😜
Hope you like it 😊
You broke the bank with those samples
Both were like 20ish bucks
You need to give the oud in King blue some time. The opening doesn't tell you much about the scent.
Sniffing your arm right after spraying is such a beginner's mistake.
Yes yes, I totally understand and know that you are not really supposed to "dig right in".
I own many Amouages and they are complex scents that require many wears to really get to know them but these are first impressions and as such, I'm trying to keep it simple and relatable :)
@@SeldomlyOften thanks a lot for clarifying. King Blue gets a lot of hate unfairly, if you take the time and let it do its magic and reach you, you will appreciate it more. The oud in it is an Indian oud from Ajmal, it goes through a series of transitions and the barnyardy smell doesn't last very long.
Love the channel ⭐.
Subbed :)
Welcome aboard!
Too long!
I know, I’m still exploring how to do this one shorter.
