So odd how a fragrance with tobacco, vanilla and cinamon has weak performance. The only thing stopping me from buying it. I'll buy the clone just for peace of mind and also to save some cash.
@@rjs659performance is great on me, don't generalize. I don't even know if you've ever owned a bottle or tried it extensively before spewing in the comments.
My take on PERCIVAL after hearing dozens of frag coms on it is this. Expensive, mass appealing (aka smells great), very versatile (aka smells great), high quality (aka smells great), yet smells like other scents but better quality ( aka smells great.) Hmmm!? The one thing I never hear is if you like PERCIVAL then get ______ because it smells like it but better.
I agree with you. I have Layton and Carlisle and love them both. I had samples and tried all of them on my skin before committing. Layton is def more a signature everyday mass appealing fragrance. Carlisle is really strong and powerful so I only wear it out to dinners and outside in cooler weather but it’s an addictive scent and certainly worth the money. The freshies from PDM are mediocre and I honestly prefer my creeds for fresh scents (I would take Aventus, Viking, Himalaya, GIT and original vetiver over them any day).
Excellent top. Personally, I prefer Layton Exclusif over Layton, and even Herod appeals to me a bit more. Still, I recognize that Layton remains one of the best fragrances from Parfums de Marly. I agree with you that it can come across as more of a designer scent than a niche one. The animalic touch in Layton Exclusif is what draws me in and makes it stand out compared to Layton. It’s true that not everyone enjoys animalic notes; for example, among my favorite Guerlain fragrances, Oud Khôl is outstanding. It has a very well-crafted animalic oud, though I understand it may not appeal to everyone.
Haltane Percival Carlisle Greenley Layton for me is a No because it disappears after 4 hours on my skin… it’s extremely loud in the first 2 hours though. I should try exclusif version
@@NyteStalker89 no.just no.stop.sit down. Herod does not last more then an hour. your lying thru your face or you dont have it.. I have 2. Im very athletic and don't perspire. colognes do great on my skin. Herod is a bust performance, sillage wise.longevity sucks and no 360 buble either. its an immediate divine skin scent. identical profile-performance wise- for amouage jub xxv
Huge fan of most of these. Herod and Oajan weren't mentioned and they would be in my top 3. Carlisle is less special to me. There is an intersection of Carlisle w Initio Blessed Baraka and Mancera Red Tobacco. They all share something in common w Argos Triumph of Baccus.
Percival and Galloway are my most used from PDM. I can’t recall the last time I reached for another one. Both are fresh, versatile and can be used all year long 🤙🏾
I just got a sample of Layton, and maybe I have to wear it a few times but after the first spray the opening was great but after a little I just kinda got a headache from it.
Percival is great for what it is(get it on sale and be happy)Layton, Layton exclusif,Carlisle are amazing Pegasus is interesting but Sedley and Herod do not last on my skin haven’t tried the others and Althair is possibly next on my list
Carlisle is King!! It's my signature scent and it's worth every dollar. I've smelt a lot of fragrances over the years but nothing has been as intoxicating as Carlisle is.
Man,I love that stuff. My Althair sample is running low; but I have Liquid Brun to ease the pain. Also picked up another clone, Lattafa Art of Nature II;not sure yet about this stuff.
@@McAmeron089IIIwould you recomend me any of those clones or get the original? Here in Spain I can get the OG (75ml) for 170$, where as the clones 40-50$
I'm holding out for the Althair Exclusif ! ! ! I got the 10ml sample of Althair,compared it to Liquid Brun(I have x2 LB);now comparing to Lattafa Pride Art of Nature II (it needs to mature a bit,I think). I thought orange blossom might get a mention here. More Althair clones please! Man,I wanted to like Layton;heard so much hype about it; but was put off by the mentholated note and not a fan of the remaining scent either. Just for context,I don';t like Naxos or tobacco scents. Carlisle does not sound like my style; but you always give a great description of scents. Thank you! Will look for your videos on Oajan(sp?) and Pegasus. Maybe Herod and Halthane too?
@@geton411 I do hope to sample it. One of the first things I learned about fragrances is that no two people have the same experience from smelling them(then, writing about them)! That's what makes it interesting.
I am surprised that Herod is not mentioned here.
Performance is trash
@@rjs659 I put mine on at 6am, and am still smelling it stongly at 9pm. newer batch... so not sure where you're getting that from.
@@rjs659not really, depends too much on skin type

Correct, basically Percival is god tier on that scent profile.

Percival was the first PDM I purchased, took it back and went with Carlisle which is one of their best imho. Great video 👍
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of this brand and have a blessed day
Haltane
Percival
Carlisle
Greenley
Layton for me is a No because it disappears after 4 hours on my skin… it’s extremely loud in the first 2 hours though. I should try exclusif version
Haltane is also my favorite for it's longevity and does not smell like all the sweet releases we get now days
Haltane is 🔥
Layton and Carlisle head and shoulders above the rest. Herod would be as well if it lasted longer than an hour.
Lasts an hour on you. Your body chemistry composition doesn't suit Herod. Herod lasts hours on others, myself included.

Layton all day it's just perfect 👌
carlisle smells so good bro
Carlisle, Herod, Oajan, Habdan, Layton Exclusive, Pegasus Exclusive and Haltane. My top 7.
Nice video. I have Galloway, Percival, Oajan and Carlisle. I have to say Carlisle is my favorite.
For me the best is ranked:
1. Carlisle
2. Herod
3. Pegasus Exclusif
4. Layton Exclusif
5. Kalan
6. Habdon
7. Althair
8. Sedley
9. Oajan
10. Darley
Layton exclusive 💯

Everyone loves to hate Percival becuz it’s overpriced. Yes it’s overpriced for what ur getting but it’s an amazing scent nonetheless
It’s not overpriced tbh
Percival and Galloway are my most used from PDM. I can’t recall the last time I reached for another one. Both are fresh, versatile and can be used all year long 🤙🏾
@@altonzaHow would you describe or compare Galloway to some other designer frags you have smelled or tried. Thank you!!

Too bad about the reformulations. Diminishes the brand. Herod is so weak these days.
This appears to me to fall into the old "bait and switch" routine. Sucks so hard.
No Herod , although the later versions don’t last and tons of dupes out there but the earlier version is good .
I have carlisle its very nice but I will wear it!
Did everyone forget about Herod?? Great list though !!
Percival is great for what it is(get it on sale and be happy)Layton, Layton exclusif,Carlisle are amazing Pegasus is interesting but Sedley and Herod do not last on my skin haven’t tried the others and Althair is possibly next on my list
Herod? Haltane?
♥Percival, Layton, Haltane, Herod
Carlisle is King!! It's my signature scent and it's worth every dollar. I've smelt a lot of fragrances over the years but nothing has been as intoxicating as Carlisle is.
Carlisle is the best PDM in my opinion as well.
Carlisle smell like pumpkin spice off my skin it’s so good
Sams club has 2.5 of layton for 150 👀
Herod and Oajan not included? I am surprised.
PDMs are the best!
Aether is a very good dupe of Greenley. I prefer Posh Sirius over Maheer Legacy as a dupe of Sedley.
No Herod on this list. Can't trust a list that doesn't include Herod on it.
It would be if it didn’t last 30 minutes on the skin
Because it only lasts an hour
Althair beast mode
Man,I love that stuff. My Althair sample is running low; but I have Liquid Brun to ease the pain. Also picked up another clone, Lattafa Art of Nature II;not sure yet about this stuff.
@ that’s a good one too and if it goes on full discount a must

Herod didn´t make the top 8?!
Because it only lasts an hour
Layton Exclusif > OG Layton ….. I promise u
No
Haltane is amazing. I tried Herod on skin and it just doesn’t last more than 30 mins. Glad I got a sample and didn’t buy the full bottle
Latafa oud for greatest very similar haltane and 10x less expensive
Sedley is the best one. It's simple and yet complex and upscale high class scent . One of the best scents of all time!
Love that one it’s solid
@miker4430 totally agree!
maahir legacy is an excellent clone of it, but lasts a bit longer imo!
I had a 30ml DECANT of Layton that I NEVER finished. Towards the end it STARTED to get a little ANNOYING so I GAVE it AWAY with NO regrets. 🙂👍🏽
No oajan and herod?! For me these are easily top 5
Oajan is fantastic for cold weather. I'm surprised it didn't make the list because it's similar to Angels Share, which he likes.
Top 2 lol. I get that it’s all subjective but I don’t respect any PDM without Herod.
Herod stinks smell like cherry medicine
@ 😂your nose broke man.
The clone for Percival is AF Fierce...... which is the fragrance it's actually cloning 😂😂 (insert spider-man meme here)
Haha l actually really like Darley but it never gets any love. It’s like a niche Le Male.
I would love to try out a sniff of Darley! Sounds interesting.
@@McAmeron089III It doesn’t get much attention but it’s one of my favorite warm weather scents from them. Get pretty good performance from it too
Is there a clone of Habdan??
why buy perfume if your not going to wear it?
Midori by Paris Corner clone for Greenly
Layton
Percival
Herod
Pegasus
Sedley
My top five
Wheres my baby herod...
Wow I’m surprised Carlisle is not higher
he put Carlisle at #1
Sedley = Mahyr legacy
🎉
Grenley smells like shampoo. Don't fall for that trashy cashgrab.
