The fact is nobody in the fragrance community buys PDMs or Initios at Retail! I own Haltane and enjoy it a lot, I know there's no OUD in any of their fragrances. I am an OUD aficionado who wears real ouds all the time, I still enjoy haltane. That Amberwood, disgusting, saffron, ethyl maltol smell is why these fragrances are so wildly popular. Ram your opinion is in the minority here, I hate to say it. The sales numbers speak for themselves. The only thing that angers me is the marketing and lies about using Real OUD. My Bortnikoffs and Areej ouds are truly stunning and I prefer them obviously!
@RamseytheRam agreed I'm not defending Haltane but it's something I do enjoy. I much rather wear real oud however.....there is absolutely no comparison
I just bought a 2ml decant of Haltane. Oh well. Aaron Terrence Hughes likes Haltane ironically so. I appreciate your candor and all your reviews. Much respect for you Ramsey. 🙏
To each their own... if you love it wear it... for me I think its one of the worst fragrances I reviewed on this channel & I have uploaded over 800 videos... so take that for what its worth. But thats just my opinion... dont let me stop you from loving & wearing it Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
One of my most love and complimented fragance I respect your opinion but people around me think I smell amazing whit haltane and not just for people that I know
I can appreciate that I wear fragrance for me personally so I could never wear something I hated because others like it... but I respect your opinion and the guts to enter the viper den with a contrary opinion 😅
☆"...I need to unplug something..." OMG!!! Quote of the month Ram... I'm seriously adding that to my 'how angry I am lexicon!' Sooo much luv for your dedication and willingness to put your snuffering on display for the Ram-FragFam♡! SOTD is 1987-8 Halston Z-14, was my Pop's favorite. I got really excited because he has a bunch of vinty cologne that he stashed in his closet... Some early 80's Jovan, late 70's: English Leather with a cork looking cap, and an old British Sterling flacon with his name engraved on the pewter(?) top half of the bottle; and a large green glassThinker Mennen-Skin Bracer aftershave cologne bottle 70's too. He said I could have 'em! Christmas came late, but oh boy! Much luv an appreciation♡☆
The intro says it all, sometimes you have to wait in order to know if Ram is going to pick up his ak47 and just destroy the what so called fragrance but nah bro not this time.loved it keep them coming mate
Thumps up, great as always, keep up ramming! Happy new year and good luck from Germany! Keep going mate, youre the best. No bs and love youre sense of humor, one of the best perfume chanels for sure! Btw: Lattafa has an nearly 1to1 clone of oud for greatness, its calles oud for glory and costs around 35 Bucks, check it out, its hilarious, they even copied the flacon nearly one by one. 🤯
I went to initio Parfums boutique and smelled oud for happiness on a test blotter and it wasn't bad. It seemed enjoyable. The sales pitch was insane tho. He literally said for oud for greatness, and i quote. "This is the best oud on the market"
I have layton exclusiff bought at a discount liked the idea of more animalic and an oud note i knew that it was no real oud in it but i did quite enjoy it, since then ive aquired Lao oud and oud maximus and i never ever reach for my PDM no more, yes its nice and for the price i got it for it was worth it but realisticlly it shoud be 90-130 dollars max
So, it has ethyl maltol whipping through the base? 😂 I see so many people selling this because they 'already have OFG.' That Ana Abiyedh Rouge by Lattafa is supposed to be a BR540 clone, my daughter wears it to cover up smells working in health care. I smell that and it's million clones all over. Have you ever reviewed that?
I love that you couldn’t even attempt to hide your hatred. This isn’t my favorite scent, for sure. It’s basically Oud for Greatness like you compared, and I knew how you felt about OfG!
I wonder, in the acquisition contract for PDM and Initio, was there a clause "Alongsite with the deal, we acquire the right to use Demi Rawling as a promoter continuing the same as it was before".
Please, I would be happy if the perfume nichs lovers answer especially, nish perfumes can have slightly different and difficult smells and they are synthetic or plasticy and these are of course bad examples. Will buying and using a perfume cause regret and I hope it is not a smell that people will not like, especially the opposite sex will turn their noses up, and I hope it is not a smell that you will enjoy on a holiday in the hot season. Can I get your recommendations for perfumes that are not too fresh for dinner and afterwards, thank you (because fresh perfumes are very perfumes that go smoothly and can be used for breakfast or during the day.🙄
Parfums de Marly, the great modern niche house, that showed excellence in making 10$ scents and selling them for 400! That's something! God, I laughed a lot during this video, it was amazing, the computer might love them and revolted!😂 Yes, Haltane smells like Oud for Glory, that OFG clone, and Haltane is worse than OFG, I 100% agree. The only PdM fragrance I kinda like is Carlisle, let's say it's a guilty pleasure. Some people just have money, they don't love the industry and the art of perfumery and they spend 300 bucks on these frags thinking they smell amazing. They are one of the best-selling brands, which shows how this industry is segmented, the true frag heads I believe are here, with Guerlains, Papillons, Areej, and others. After you smell a fragrance like Shalimar, Jubilation 25 or Femme, and many other amazing fragrances, I find it hard to come back to a PdM and still believe it's a great fragrance. Cheers!
I rarely leave a comment, regardless of the content, but I've enjoyed this review very much and the angry comments on these fragrances that have the same scent profile. But actually, I love Oud For Greatness even though it's hard to find the right event to wear it.
😂😂😂 Vol de nuit is offended... the reality is I would love to review Vol de Nuit but the pressure to do it justice means I need to spend more time with it... i can turn on the camera and spew venem at PDM 😂😂😂
Imagine this Ramsey.. In my country Baccarat rouge 540, Oud for greatness and every 30 dollar clone of these fragrances are what about 80-85% of women who wear perfume - wears. All ages btw. I smell this DNR every time I go out. When I was in a dating scene few years back, 8 out of 10 dates were this DNR. And sadly I am not even exaggerating. First thing I did when I decided that I want to see someone for a long time, I threw away their oud for greatness 30 dollar clone to the trash and gifted a less annoying fragrance of her choice :D Long story short being a frag head where I am from is hell :D
I'm 20 seconds into this video and I have a huge smile on my face. 🤣 Btw I blame both a recent purchase of Amber Absolute and Trussadi Uomo (2010 batch) on you 😜, I can't wait to sniff both of them.
Congrats on them both... one of my favorite Ambers and one of my favorite Italian Leathers 🙏🙏🙏 I hate to say that makes me proud... but if that is the type of perfume I am influencing you to buy then I feel like a proud papa 🥲🐏
Ramsey. I got full bottle Haltane. Ouch! I fell for the Godly reviews on youtube. I thought it would be soft wood and gourmand touch. I got peanut butter vibes big time. I lost my $ and now only get 10ml decants before full bottle buy now.
for the record, i like own and occasionally wear "Oud For Greatness." that being said, in regards to Ramsey's editorializing here, i'll simply reply generally: "amen, ditto, and pass the guacamole!"
@@RamseytheRam "Oud For Greatness" is poor as an oud fragrance (or even an oud-forward or oud-related fragrance), but i really do enjoy the overall fragrance itself - just that simple.
@@RamseytheRam and i'll add that i make a serious effort to follow and keep-up with the oud-category exclusives from Harrods - many are excellent, in my humble opinion: "Deep Viola" by Byredo, "Golden Wanderers" by Ex Nihilo, "Mr. Harrod" by Penhaligon's, and "Bois Nomades" by Chopard... and on the flipside, one that smells little more than a rebottled version of its predecessor, "Polo Oud" by Ralph Lauren (i pass on this one)
oops... and one i nearly forgot: if Amouage "Epic - Man" and "Epic - Woman" loved each other very much so that they got together and had a baby, that baby would be "Sparkling Opal" by Thameen - just superb!
Please Ramsey 🐏, your humble audience wants to hear what you have to say about Initios Oud for Happiness! 😅 It's surely a frag you will be happy to experience 🤣
I literally put this on my skin for the this video... TWICE If anyone ever doubts my dedication I am just going to refer to this video from here on out 😂😂😂
Cheers Rams , I did not ever consider buying either P.D.M nor Inito offerings. but got a freebie sample of Oud for greatness (jeez I hate saying or hearing the goddam name lol😅) but my Daughter happened to smell it on me that day and was smitten by is silage ( go figure) so I got her a bottle of Supremacy in Oud a clone and she thought it even better than the over priced shite ,that henceforth shall remain nameless 😅, nowadays I never sniff it off her ,thankfully her nose has come into whack and it’s history,god is good hahaha ,great fun video have a good one man ✌️🙏👍
Haltane and OFG are so off putting, I had to wash them off my skin. I appreciate your sacrifice spraying this disgusting juice on your hand for our sake. Respect. And to think they are the more expensive in the line... the audacity. As for Initio, try Divine Attraction. It's not a great scent, but it's at least not below average as most of the line. It's interesting. A sample or a small decant worthy. Btw, on my skin the only exception from Initio, that is above average, is one of your "favorites" :) - Side Effect. Decant worthy for me.
Initio had some stock of OUD FOR GREATNESS … why not put that into PDM in a new bottle and add some more precious oud to make it the greatest oud fragrance ever ! Nice idea right , Rams’ eh 😂😂?? I haven’t watched the video yet , but I’ve put the video on reminder list so I can watch it this evening…. It’s gonna be a fun night 😍😂
Lol what an infuriating fragrance it broke your computer 😂,funny ( not Funny) video,hopefully the damn computer resets Rams , I got a freebie sample of Oud for Greatness and yeah Meh,my daughter got a whiff and really loved it in the air ,so I got her a bottle of (hell no not the pricey Oud for Greatness ) Supremacy in Oud a cheap Afnan clone and by god she said it was better all round ,yep she was spot on 😮,that said these days I’ve not smelt it about her or the house nor have I broached the subject with her ?? Guess her nose matured haha haha,have a good one and hoping you got a computer geek buddy to hand ✌️🙏👍
I bought a couple PdM early on… Herod, Carlisle, Layton… The og mainstream hits. Ok… nothing special. But I stopped buying them… Just not worth it and pretty forgettable. Carlisle is probably my favorite… outside of the opening 5-10 minutes.
Ohhhh no doubt... I just cant watch... my moniter going out forgot to say someone got a 1000 ml bottle of oud for greatness... 1000 ml... of that "rare precious" oud 😂😂😂
@@RamseytheRam speaking of rage bait for the channel, I AM actually sending you a care package, I just save it for after Christmas plus I guess I need a special sticker for shipping dangerous materials
I came back to this video because I was able to test Haltane today. Unlike you, I personally like a lot of sweet scents like Herod, Layton or even Ultra Male. But I have to absolutely agree that this scent is an absolute disgrace. Synthetic, harsh, unbalanced, I wouldn't respect this scent even for €40. The price of €300 is like a slap in the face.
Funnily enough, I already had the same impression that initio and pdm reuse their scents in a modified form with PdM Carlisle and Initio Blessed Baraka. Carlisle isn't wrong, a bit too syrupy sweet for me, Blessed Baraka is an overly sweet disaster. But both scents are so similar in structure that I suspect that Blessed Baraka was originally a rejected proposal by Alberto Morillas for PdM Carlisle, which was then recycled 2 years later and used by Initio.
In my opinion most of these niche houses are bullshit. I wish they would actually make manly fragrances like a polo green, fendi uomo, hell, something like quorum even. Enough of these overly sweet fruity scheisse. Funny video though. thank you sir.
"The sheer horror" 🤣 And boom goes the monitor. 😂 One for the history books Ramsey. The power of rage. ✊ For legal reasons I'm going to have to say that my friend wholeheartedly agrees with you, along with a few nasal receptors I've become close with. Here's to the rise of the chemical industry. ☢ ReFiNEMENT!! 🦾
I am laughing and crying at the same time , what’s happening with perfume world 🥲 this is why I am not selling nothing from my collection that I am not using right now , I know I will enjoy it later again 🫶🏼
I haven’t even pressed play on this video yet, but I already know it’s going to be the highlight of my day.
Angry Ram... I broke my monitor during the video ... PDM owes my a moniter

I sampled Haltane on skin and didn’t care for it. I do own and love Herod and Oajan. PDM has some solid cold weather offerings.
@RamseytheRam agreed I'm not defending Haltane but it's something I do enjoy. I much rather wear real oud however.....there is absolutely no comparison
@LunaDad2020 for sure but their newer stuff is just boring and bland. Layton exclusif, habdan, oajan, Safanad are great frags

I bought a couple PdM early on… Herod, Carlisle, Layton… The og mainstream hits.
Ok… nothing special.
But I stopped buying them… Just not worth it and pretty forgettable. Carlisle is probably my favorite… outside of the opening 5-10 minutes.
I don't think I have smelled Carlise 🤔
What's it like??
I am sure if I search UA-cam, the usual suspects of the free bottle brigade would’ve hyped it to the max.
Ohhhh no doubt... I just cant watch... my moniter going out forgot to say someone got a 1000 ml bottle of oud for greatness... 1000 ml... of that "rare precious" oud 😂😂😂
@@RamseytheRam 1000ml bottle ? Of that ? Lol.
But do you love Haltane?
It's unclear
Maybe an update video is in order 🤔
@@RamseytheRam speaking of rage bait for the channel, I AM actually sending you a care package, I just save it for after Christmas plus I guess I need a special sticker for shipping dangerous materials
Masterpiece😊
The fragrance or my review? 😂
@@RamseytheRam 😁🙏
Love it 😂
Love it or hate it 🤔😂
@@RamseytheRam exactly, hate it.
@@samtoronto9121 its wretched juice IMHO
Sheep have always been for shearing😂😂😂
Rams standing up for sheep 🐏🐑
Percival and Layton are ok from that house though. But Haltane is nothing more than hot mess.
Absolute hot mess indeed.... thanks for watching & commenting... i still need to try Percival one day
I came back to this video because I was able to test Haltane today. Unlike you, I personally like a lot of sweet scents like Herod, Layton or even Ultra Male. But I have to absolutely agree that this scent is an absolute disgrace. Synthetic, harsh, unbalanced, I wouldn't respect this scent even for €40. The price of €300 is like a slap in the face.
Funnily enough, I already had the same impression that initio and pdm reuse their scents in a modified form with PdM Carlisle and Initio Blessed Baraka. Carlisle isn't wrong, a bit too syrupy sweet for me, Blessed Baraka is an overly sweet disaster. But both scents are so similar in structure that I suspect that Blessed Baraka was originally a rejected proposal by Alberto Morillas for PdM Carlisle, which was then recycled 2 years later and used by Initio.
This theory may be closer to the truth than we will ever know 😂😂
😂 20 seconds in and shit has gotten real.
Ps vintage Trussardi uomo on the way...
This fragrance doesnt have a good 20 seconds in it... not in opening mid or dry down... total flusher 💩
@@RamseytheRam now I'm even more excited to get Hamdani, Nisean, and Kalan in the mail to you.
@@ndhaon91 cant be worse than Haltane... this has to be rock bottom ...it just has to be.... Right!? 🤕
im like 30 seconds in. tell us how you REALLY feel bro 🤣🤣🤣
very proud to say ive never even bought a damn sample of PdM lol
Stay away... stay far far away... this is a warning... like leaving the dead shark in the nets to warn off the others 🦈
@@RamseytheRam hey have you ever smelled AdP Colonia Quercia?
@@SeanHH1986 i have not... its on the to sniff list ... hear its a good woody frag though 🪵
@@RamseytheRam i got 2 sample vials coming so if i think its worth your time ill send one with the ambra
Hell yeah! This stuff is 🗑️
Jealous of that vintage vol de Nuit!!
Gonna review it whenever I get the intestinal fortitude one of these days 💪🐏
Tnx
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
Now I'm adding clones as bait
😂😂😂
Yeah…this isn’t one of PDM’s best….lol
Has to be their worst .... i cant think of anything worse
why do you hate so bad parfums de marly?
😂😂😂
Because I think they are shite
Finally
U probably knew exactly what I was going to say lol
@@RamseytheRamtold u it was a clone ;) hahaha
Amber woods= woods from Cernobyl 😂
Radioactive ☢️
Oud for Grimness 💀🤣
Their next flanker ☝🏻🤣
95 percent of PDM perfumes are shite.
This is one of my most hated fragrances of all time .... absolutely fuming😡
In my opinion most of these niche houses are bullshit. I wish they would actually make manly fragrances like a polo green, fendi uomo, hell, something like quorum even. Enough of these overly sweet fruity scheisse. Funny video though. thank you sir.
I agree with you... my heart is with Vintage ❤️🐏
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂wow
Thanks for watching mate 💪🐏
😂
The audacity of this brand 🙄
I smelled a bunch of Pdm stuff and all seem abysmal crap.
Horrid... skin crawling scents... the confidence some men wear while wearing this "mythical" oudwood makes it even better
Initio and pdm are so overrated
💯%
Thanks for watching & commenting 💪🐏
"The sheer horror" 🤣 And boom goes the monitor. 😂 One for the history books Ramsey. The power of rage. ✊ For legal reasons I'm going to have to say that my friend wholeheartedly agrees with you, along with a few nasal receptors I've become close with. Here's to the rise of the chemical industry. ☢ ReFiNEMENT!! 🦾
😂😂😂
Yes... this friend of ours is very knowledgable 😂💪🐏
Very funny video😂

Yes thats the spirit Allie 🫂
