I am a PDM fan! Started with detour then I felt like I needed the original. So I bought Layton, Carlisle and Pegasus Ex. I got more complements on the detour. Just grabbed all four detours! Thanks Ash! Love the channel.🎉
oajan doesnt really have a clone unfortunately, Closest one ive tried is Khaltat night. This one however has a cherry note. It smells like a blend of Angels Share and Lost cherry
I am so glad you finally mentioned Aether Extrait because I am a HUGE Greenley fan, and was looking for a clone...even tried one of the Alexandria fragrances... got Aether and was blown away! I can now wear my favorite cologne DNA to the gym without feeling guilty 😃
The best Sedley clone that blows away Maahir Legacy is Fragrance World Posh Sirius . Higher quality then Legacy and much longer lasting . Problem is that it is rarely in stock and usually sold out . The closest clone of Althair is from Scentual Obsessions called Eagle Star . 90% + similar and just from a smaller Indie house that does incredible clones from their exact matches line !
Maison Alhambra does an outstanding job with all their PDM clones. Hercules (Herod), Perseus (Pegasus), Cassius (Carlyle) are all excellent dupes that can be had for less than $20 delivered.
Tried Hercules didn't like it went back to it after 4 weeks and it was amazing. Went back to the seller I asked him the price of 20 bottles of Hercules. Paid 13 quids each bottle. But now I know it's a waste because you don't need too many sprays as I was thinking before. Six sprays the Max and the stuff on me stays at least 10 to 12 hours
I recently purchased Maison Alhambra's clones of PDM fragrances such as Hercules (Herod), Pegasus (Percival), Cassius (Carlisle) and Galatea (Godolphin). All have 4+ scores on Fragrantica and smell great to me. Ash, what do you think of the Maison Alhambra clones of PDM?
@@streavel7 I made a mistake on what I thought I had. I have Maison Alhambra's Perseus which is a clone of PDM Pegasus. It's a nice very almond forward scent. Don't have the OG to compare it to.
My clone of carlisle is fragrance world carlisle. Idk how accurate it is. But i love it. Smells like salty, fruity, ocean water. Very tropical and clean feeling, not soapy like blue fragances, but smells clean.
I got Detour Nior quite a while ago and its been sitting for a hot minute and still Im not sure how i feel about it. That Vicks Vapor rub smell that Layton comes with in the opening is defintely amped up in Detour Nior. Also Layton has more quality and apparent apple/vanilla too. I also get pretty dam poor performance from Detour Nior. Its hard because they are both no doubt very similar but The quality from Layton is noticably higher (which is of course expected given the drastic price difference). Might just be me but i would no doubt recommend Detour Nior if the performance was better.
I've almost finished my bottle of Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu which is also an great clone of Layton just a bit more expensive. How does the North Stag clone compare to that one?
Imo. a superior PDM Greenley clone to Aether is from the underrated House Barrett’s . The fragrance is called Vervantaville and is 90% close , high quality , and reasonably priced .
@trytoneee hmm, you're the only person I've seen with that take. I'll have to check them out. Thankfully, they're cheap enough to take the risk, haha. I appreciate the response; thank you.
As far as PDM Layton goes, there's two that I'd go with: Luxodor Loyal Agar and Al Haramain Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu. Loyal Agar isn't super close (probably looking at no more than 85% similarity), but this one is beast-mode. Easily 12+ hours and doesn't disappoint. Exclusif Bleu is as close as it gets, so I'm surprised that this was looked over, considering the popularity it once had!
I bought amber oud from clone of layton it's was very nice and then I bought layton. I prefer amber oud. It's more potent and long lasting. Smells 99 percent same.
I'm curious what is the opening like for Legacy? In your review of Eco you mentioned how it was very different from Haltane during the opening. As it went into the mid and dry down it became spot on, but that opening was different. How does the opening of Legacy compare to Eco and Haltane itself? I'm also curious how the North Stag one compares to The Woods Natural Dusk. You had mentioned previously that was probably your favorite Layton clone as it got closer than Detoir Noir. SO I'm curious where the North Stag sits compared to Dusk.
I bought the entire PDM sample kit. So I’ve smelled Pegasus ALOT, it’s actually one of my favorite fragrances. I love it, but anyways I found a clone of it. It’s called Picasso by Fragrenza & it’s LITERALLY a 1 to 1 clone. It’s around $60-$70 & totally worth it in my opinion. You should check it out man!!!
Don't forget about Armaf Edition One Man Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce are both excellent PDM Percival clones and Lalique White is a decent PDM Galloway clone =)
I miss when PDM fragrances where easily available for under for $200 (except Carilsle) Tho the Althair clone seems intriguing. Really liked Althair but I don't think it's worth the price compared to the other PDM's
This is a hidden gem in my opinion and it’s L'or Gold Perfume Set Unisex by Parfums Lomani. It gives the same fragrance as Althair but at a cheaper price !!
My 2 cents (ha scent) Kalan -> Versace Eros Enflame Kalan > Eros imo, however eros is stronger, in my experience it felt like it was choking me The cinnamon is brutal
i bought a official sample of herod and to me it literally just smells like cough medicine it was very meh however oajan in my opinion is WAY better then herod and its not even close
Wow, really shocked Herod didn't get a mention. Definitely a cold weather beast and one of my favorite (though more limited use) PDM fragrances I've smelled.

Please do the Xerjoff guide. That man deserves it
😂
School of scent reference
Hahahahaha!! 😂😂😂

Love these types of videos where you compare clones to the original fragrance. Keep them coming! 👍🏾
Gotta do a part 2 or at least include Oajan. Out of all the PDMs, that's the one that interests me the most. Definitely a fan of this kind of content!
Oajan hitssss ! Herod and oajan by far my favorite 2. Waiting on a herod exclusif
oajan doesnt really have a clone unfortunately, Closest one ive tried is Khaltat night. This one however has a cherry note. It smells like a blend of Angels Share and Lost cherry
shaghaf oud azraq is a great alternative; i wouldnt say clone as its spicier, sweeter and richer
Oajan has fragrance World Legion and another one called Apple Crumb Alexandria Fragrances
@@WernersShopFragrance World Legion is their clone.

Yes I have Hercules and I love it. Last 8+ hours and smells 85% similar
Less than 20 where
@@tpm0634really?? 8 hour herod? I'm gonna have to buy it.
I have them all and they are great. I also got them anywhere from 18 to 20 dollars

This video right here is what I really wanted! Thanks Ash!
I habe 7 of the clones.mentioned...Great video
One missing....Blue exclusif by haramain fornthe layton clone....almost no diff
I’m definitely all for this buying guide. I will be taking notes. Some PDM clone wars would be great also 👍🏻
I love Maahir Legacy, such a beast mode love the green and metallic notes
Thank you..this is what i need!! Andddd...AOT IS THE BEST ANIME SINCE THE LAST 5 YEARS. GOAT TIER.
Love this video please please do more buying guides in this style. Awesome video as always my friend
Great, great, great review Ash! Certainly sometimes clones are better than the original ones.
Love this video, exactly what I wanted!
Ainash Athan is an excellent alternative to PDM Althair also!🔥🔥🔥
A really high quality clone for Haltane is Shaghaf oud Royale from Swiss Arabian, it smells amazing.
Thanks for that, I enjoy the DNA and was thinking of getting Eco but I think Swiss Arabaian Royale will be higher quality.

How's the clone for percival?
@@streavel7 I made a mistake on what I thought I had. I have Maison Alhambra's Perseus which is a clone of PDM Pegasus. It's a nice very almond forward scent. Don't have the OG to compare it to.
Galatea smells awful
@@KenZoncaLet mine macerate for about 8 months after pumping 10 sprays out. And man. Spot on.. Id like it better then the alternatives on here..🔥💯
Hercules (Herod) sadly is just way too bland. I just get a kind of nauseating vanilla. Not complex or rich enough.
GREAT video as usual!! Keep doing more of these.
My clone of carlisle is fragrance world carlisle. Idk how accurate it is. But i love it. Smells like salty, fruity, ocean water. Very tropical and clean feeling, not soapy like blue fragances, but smells clean.
Love Love Love your videos man! Always great creative content!
Can we get a Gent Scents x Cubaknow collab video? The yourubes needs it
Althair best clone is from alexandria fragrances, vanilla stallion. Smells exactly like it.
Oajan is my favourite
Hopefully this one will be in part 2. The only clone I know of is the one from Fragrance World and it's never in stock.
@@phlip9037 what’s the name of it?

Great channel & content! Just wandering if you came across any clones for the house of PANTHEON ROMA …fragrances “R” or Nerone? Thanks man
Thanks men, keep doing what you are doing, much appreciated. Remind us to click like button, we can forget.
Nice review and choice's love the video Gents Scents stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
For layton try: Royal Bleu Orientica Premium, I heard it was the best clone.
Which one from Nitro Blue and Armaf Craze is more powerful and longer lasting?
Ash.... can you do a video on the best tobacco and leather fragrances? An updated list possibly
I've almost finished my bottle of Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu which is also an great clone of Layton just a bit more expensive. How does the North Stag clone compare to that one?
The one I needed in my life!
is there any kind of clone of althair by lattafa or one of their sub brands ?
Imo. a superior PDM Greenley clone to Aether is from the underrated House Barrett’s . The fragrance is called Vervantaville and is 90% close , high quality , and reasonably priced .
Great video. Can you do more like this. OG with best dupe
Armaf craze is the worst fragrance I’ve ever put my nose to. Pegasus and the Exclusif are very nice.
Im with you on this one. It smells terrible and I never wore it again, I fell for the hype.
Smells like insect spray 😂
You guys sure you didn't have a bad batch? Craze is awesomeand long lasting.
You should try the Maison Alhambra clones of PDM fragrances too
I hear they're basically skin scents. What are your thoughts?
@@youzername i have cassius (carlisle) and hercules (herod) and they smell amazing and last and project a lot
@trytoneee hmm, you're the only person I've seen with that take. I'll have to check them out. Thankfully, they're cheap enough to take the risk, haha. I appreciate the response; thank you.
@@youzername no problem man. i do use at least 3 sprays (3-5)

Yeah I feel like he's done a video on that one in the past and was trying to suggest newer releases but I agree don't know how that wasn't mentioned
Would you recommend North Stag Deux over Woods Dusk for a Layton clone?
Hey I don't like PDM layton exclusive but I love layton. do you recommend detour noir or noir excluif?
You read my mind with this video. Thanks!!!
Hi Ash, Nothing for Oajan ?
I bought amber oud from clone of layton it's was very nice and then I bought layton. I prefer amber oud. It's more potent and long lasting. Smells 99 percent same.
Agree I also own amber oud exclusif bleu so worth it!
I’m still using Dusk as my Layton replacement, will probably try north stag soon. Not a big fan of Detour though
Hey ash how's it going. Love the content, passion and the work ethic. I Can't find aether extrait anywhere except resellers. What gives?
What about Leyden? How close is it to Leyton?
What do you think is the best clone of Herod?
amazing collection 😊
can you give a quick reply? I'm looking for a winter frag. found detour noir discounted now same price as khamra. which should I get?

Layton
Bahara bleu
Orientica royal blue
Can you do a review on the house Ahmed Al maghribi … two fragrances im looking into are Marj and laathani
I would be curious to see how many there are for the polo line.
I just got Maahir Legacy. It's a great scent for about 1/12 the cost of Sedley.
I bought the entire PDM sample kit. So I’ve smelled Pegasus ALOT, it’s actually one of my favorite fragrances. I love it, but anyways I found a clone of it. It’s called Picasso by Fragrenza & it’s LITERALLY a 1 to 1 clone. It’s around $60-$70 & totally worth it in my opinion. You should check it out man!!!
is détour noir still worth getting?
Hey ash, would you ever be open to reviewing giardini di toscana?
Don't forget about Armaf Edition One Man Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce are both excellent PDM Percival clones and Lalique White is a decent PDM Galloway clone =)
I'd really like to find a Habdan clone. Suggestions?
That addictive chemical in PDM Althair is..❄️❄️ 😅😅
The best layton clone is zimaya royal paragon. Also its cost peanuts 25$ or so.
I miss when PDM fragrances where easily available for under for $200 (except Carilsle) Tho the Althair clone seems intriguing. Really liked Althair but I don't think it's worth the price compared to the other PDM's
Get liquid brune its identical to althair
How about Perseus by Maison Alhambra? It's a Pegasus clone
To me it is the same juice. Quality, performance identical.
This is a hidden gem in my opinion and it’s L'or Gold Perfume Set Unisex by Parfums Lomani. It gives the same fragrance as Althair but at a cheaper price !!
Please do more content like this again ash, from another house
Thanks
Do you have any of the Maison Alhambra clones that look very similar to their pdm counterparts, like Kalos Hercules, Perseus ans the others???
Ash, try the Dua Brand inspo of Perseus. It’s quite fab
what about amber oud blue think its the best layton clone
Try Swiss Arabian oud Royal it's the best clone for PDM haltane
My 2 cents (ha scent)
Kalan -> Versace Eros Enflame
Kalan > Eros imo, however eros is stronger, in my experience it felt like it was choking me
The cinnamon is brutal
Please make a clone buying guide for the bvlagri collection as well.
What about oajan ?
Percival - Ajmal blu 💯
*Its a sin to not mention Herod when talking about PDM*
i bought a official sample of herod and to me it literally just smells like cough medicine it was very meh however oajan in my opinion is WAY better then herod and its not even close
Perlador is very nice all those al haramain are specifically echo
You've probably done it already, but would love to see your favorite 20 PDMs or however many you have
Zara Vetiver Pamplemousse = Perseus, plus it came out before and is cheap.
Borouj might be high quality and closer, but I would go with red tobacco. It’s more mass appealing.
can you do one with initio clones as well?
Thanks Ash, cool.
Percival is very close to Chanel Platinum egoist and the best clone for Pegasus is Alhambra Perseus.
What’s the best Herod clone?
Where is the greenly dupe link attt ???
What about Herod?
Montagne has a awesome Herod clone.
Does detour noir smell like Vicks bro ? I keep hearing that
I like the rotating table better.
great vid!
Please do loius vitton clone guide
Orientica royal bleu, same recipe as amber oud exclusif but same price bigger bottle.
Awesome video
Great video
The best Pegasus Clone is Al Harmain Royal Stallion Portfolio collection.
I feel like your microphone is a mini bottle of bleu de Chanel
I did not see Fragrance World Anaqeed for Layton Exclusif. I think it's the best clone
Wow, really shocked Herod didn't get a mention. Definitely a cold weather beast and one of my favorite (though more limited use) PDM fragrances I've smelled.
i bought a official sample of herod and to me it literally just smells like cough medicine it was very meh however oajan in my opinion is WAY better then herod and its not even close
Herod is better than Carlyle imo
Craze smells terrible, but maybe I don’t like the OG (Pegasus) as I never sampled it. One of my regret blind buys.
