To help pronounce, it's Alhambruh
😂😂😂😂😂
Try this with a Scottish accent 🤣
Idk why everyone mispronounces this name
Al Hombre sounds better 😂
What is the percival clone
I purchased four of these Alhambra PDM clones: Perseus, Hercules, Leyden and Cassius. The all lack the pop or sparkle from the original PDM but I’d say they’re 85% close. Perseus I find isn’t as close to Pegasus but dang it’s good. Leyden has an incense note after the dry down which I don’t particularly like. The real Layden really pops and is super complex. But it’s pretty similar in the air as you said. Neiman Marcus has all the PDMs, Creeds, Tom Fords, etc. so you can test out scents there from all the niche brands. Great value for the price, again, Maison Alhambra 👍🏻
$25-$30 compared to $200-$250. I can live with the clone myself even at just 85%. As long as I like it anyway.
You want to get Al Harmain Portfolio Royal Stallion. Best Pegasus clone on the market. Probably better than PDM!
Thanks for the rundown. I have Hercules and think it's great. Can't be beat for the price!
Is it long lasting?
yes it is. I wouldn't call it a beast but definitely long lasting.@@ramanmunis4404
@@ramanmunis4404I’ve been overspraying it under office shirt and from 06.00 to current 17.00 still have the sillage and projection for people to notice
@@ramanmunis4404
Pretty good. About 8-10 hours on me.
Thank you for showing the note breakdown!!!! Awesome review of this line!!! Keep it going!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for this because I’ve been curious about these!
DeTour Noir is a clone of Layton and it’s AMAZING!
Which one is the best Layton clone tho? (Pls answer)
@@Bludclat_RenoverarenAmber Oud Exclusif Bleu
@@Bludclat_Renoveraren zimaya has the closest one
@@Bludclat_RenoverarenAl Haramain Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu. It’s about 95% accurate. These Alhambra clones SMELL accurate before weak in performance. The Leyden literally smells like Layton if you poured out half the bottle then added water.
@@Bludclat_Renoveraren hey man, I would reccomend natural woods collection dusk and detour noir, detour noir for more bang for you buck, dusk for higher quality
Try Hercules on skin, not on a paper strip. In fact, always try fragrances on skin; it makes no sense to judge scents on paper. Hercules is incredibly close to Herod, and it performs better.
Vikash, nice to see you here buddy. I usually see you pop up on Fragrantica and the Rio Perfumes page under the reviews
@@michaeldasilva1752 Cheers, mate. Happy to see another South African here. Keep in touch, Michael. Send me your contact details on Fragrantica. It would be cool to chat about fragrances sometime. There are a few other really passionate fellas here in the basement of Africa. Stay blessed.
I beg to differ honestly have both and no, it's not even close to Herod
HERCULES smells sexy. Notes of Vanilla, Tobacco, Incense are so damn good.
Longevity:On my skin it last 8+ hours, last few days on cloth.
Projection: Moderate, 3 feets for the first 4-5 hours.
Sillage: Good, I still can sniff it on me after 12 hours.
Try Hercules , you won't regret it. The scent is 7x more expensive than its price.
One of my favourite vanilla tobacco fragrance besides SpiceBomb Extreme.
Good job as always 👍👍. Looking forward to full reviews on some of these!
Never heard of Herold 😂😂😂, good stuff lol
If you have Tuscan Leather, Ombre Leather, Afnan Rare Carbon or any Tom Ford "leather" dupe, you do not need Galatea. They smell nearly identical!
Wish they had the same bottles still
Shout out to Kailyn. 😄 Haven't tried their take on Carlisle (Cassius) which I heard is good, but for something even better, give Exclusif Tabac a try. I actually prefer it over the OG Carlisle. Almost the same scent but better blended. Plus the bottle and atomizer are wonderful (I love cylinders). Shame it was never as widely available, but along with Crafted Oud and Fortnight, they're probably my 3 current favs from the subbrand.
Heard about Cassius. Need to get it. Maybe next time around.
That and Perseus Exclusif will get bought up by me for sure. I'm researching to see if there is anymore. I want the whole damn line! 😂
@@TuscanBrick I haven't! Planning on it!
I have Cassius but doesn't last and is just a skin scent
I can't find any reviews on Exclusif Tabac, but I can seem to get it cheaper than I can get Tabac for. Carlisle is my favourite PdM, the only full bottle from this house I own. Was curious to pick up Cassius but I can't find any here in Australia. Might have to blind buy Exclusif Tabac instead...
@@JonMadd I was thinking of getting Cassius too, but honestly prefer Exclusif Tabac. Even....dare I say, over the PdM? 😳 Seriously, the blend really is quite good.
All top top of the line 9.5/10 in order of greatness.
1. Hercules
2. Kalos
3. Galactus "gold" Way better than Tuscan leather.
4. Cassius.
Bypass...not worth it
*Leyden...weak.
*Persus... baby powder almond, interesting smell , but extremely unisex leaning female.
*Persus exclusf.. not mass appeal, but is ok average.
Just my personal opinion, and the girls i know.
I smelt Herod and really liked the smell. It smelled kinda like shisha. Does it perform good tho and do u get compliments ?
Maison Al Hombre - Mexican cologne
🤣🤣🤣
Uh..no..that would be Hilfiger and honorable mention to classic polo (green bottle)😂 edit: but I get the joke
Simon ese
Pegasus is Hypnotic Poison for men. Amazing.
Hey,Great review indeed, thx a lot for sharing your knowledge and thoughts., gonna check these out, especially Perseus( gonna order it right after this).Have a good one mate.cheers from Stockholm 🇸🇪🙌🏼
Galatea is the dupe of Godolphin (Parfums de Marly) although Godolphin is very similar to Tuscan Leather as well.
Star lord's brother is pretty funny lol 😂
Galatea and Perseus are absolute steals considering they're close enough to the PDM originals at about 18 times less cost. It's a no brainer. Blind buy worthy for sure.
I own Galatea and it's so damn close to Godolphin! By far the best and as I know the only clone of Godolphin.
@@guiltyhobbit3675 I don‘t know Sha‘ari but if it smells like Galatea then I think it‘s worth a blind buy. 💪🏼
I didn't like it too headache inducing but is it close to Godol?
@@guiltyhobbit3675 too late. Today I got Sha‘ari and for me it‘s not similar to Galatea at all. Sha‘ari smells very dry to me. Dusty roses with much safron and only a touch of leather in the background. Not sweet and more feminin than masculin. Lucky that I can return the fragrance.
@@guiltyhobbit3675 don‘t worry bro. It just cost me 13 Euro.
How's the performance? Mine lasts 1 hour on skin
Perseus. From Maison Alhambra is just incredible ❤ it’s insanely cheap and a dead ringer clone. For PDM Pegasus. Even the bottle! Boom
Also, forgot to mention you gotta get your hands on Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu... I shit you not its like they poured actual Layton inside an Al Haramain bottle and copied the copy 😂😂... btw Monster at everything.
True a weird clone of a clone but a damn top notch one
Totally agree but it's not AL Haramain tho
damn never been this early!! holy crap!! about time brother! I have Perseus, Perseus Exclusif, and Craze. Tbh, to my nose they all smell pretty much 90-95% to the real deal, smelled them at Saks. Keep doing your thing brosky!! 🤙
Btw, you're missing Cassius which is a Carlisle Clone
perseus or craze?
Perseus or craze, ehich is better
If you had to pick one which would you go with.
I've been wanting Galatea. Sure, I spelled it wrong. Have Pegasus, and it smells amazing! Great video, and thanks.
hey bro what do u think about Galatea? i want to buy a birthday gift for friends and am not sure if its a good blind buy for that...
3:52 The moment of "I gotchu attention boah"
"Kaylin sounds like a stripper's name"
Milk comes out of my nose. Lmao.
He ain't wrong.
@Paragon Fragrances
Paragon Fragrances I got myself Cassius (which you are missing in the review and in my opinion is spectacular) and Hercules (which i personally don`t like because of some unpleasant sweetness,and its not as long lasting as Cassius). But based on that would you recommend Perseus as safe blind buy ? I know its cheap but still I`m trying to avoid piling useless fragrances :D
I bought this whole line about a year ago, the scent profiles are all great but most are short lived, even after maturing for the year, my nose has evolved quite a bit since then and it's even worse now, I've gotten used to wear some beasts which by the way screws it up for a lot of fragrances, I really wish every fragrance out there was just in your face offensively beast mode 🤷😂
What's the performance like on Cassius if sprayed on clothes. Iv heard it's really weak and almost becomes a skin scent from the off?
@@realtalk9195 honestly the main one that performs the worst is Kalos, everything else is decent, basically average, cassius is worth getting, considering there's not much to choose from for a Carlisle clone, I'd say you'd be happy but definitely do the routine of a few wearings and let it set as long as you can handle it, at least a month or two, I have a backup coming so it's not too bad, I may have gotten a bottle from a bad batch of kalos but I didn't take a chance on another one, bought 3 Amber Oud Exclusif Sports, awesome PDM Kalan clone
Agreed. I got Leyden, and while its very similar...it doesn't project AT ALL. If you want your pillow to smell like Layton, then this will work. I'll stick with the OGs (9mL at a time lol).
Harold?
Great video. Thanks
YO PARAGON, which Maison Alhambra/Parfum de Marly dupe did you enjoy most or is the closest to the original Marly in your opinion? is it Galatea??
Galatea is great leather fragrance. Just amazing.
Leyden is best for the masses! It's fantastic.
Kalan is my favorite to be honest. Not for everyone. But still a fantastic offering.
Nice review love the video bro stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Nice looking bottles ❤
Herold? Isn’t it Herrod? 😊
There you go. 😂🤣😂
To me it’s very close to Herrod. 85%-90%. Maybe a Herrod fresh not that it’s a fresh fragrance at all. Just a tad fresher than PDM.
I am starting to use your Fragrance Dashboard. Curious how long will I interested in this data collection 😅
I find it's very useful. Helps me remember what I was wearing haha.
Goldophin is the one the gold bottle was cloning Nate.

Herold and gandalf jeez oh new marlys right there
Would you say perseus is closer than Al Haramain Royale Stallion?
These are perfect for teenagers and students.
Are these the best clones right now or have you found any better for the parfums de marley line?
I haven't picked up too many different ones since then. So right now these are my go-tos.
Am I wrong or does Perseus does not last very long and has a weak projection? Imo Galatea and Hercules are stronger 🤷🏻♂️
Skin chemistry plays a huge roll here because Perseus is nuclear on me. 2-3 sprays only!!!
@@LennyGildersleeve it was even weak on clothes. Maybe i'm just nose blind. Will try another batch.
PDMs next release is called 'Perseus'.. apparently they just don't care that 'Perseus' is a clone of their Pegasus already
The clone of Perseus has to be called Horse with Wings. 😂
@@ParagonFragrances lmfao.. i'm just waiting for 'zeus'
Awesome video, guys please let me know the best and the strongest smell from this serie for me to buy . I want to get 1 for my male friend
Herod one, Hercules would be the way to go!
@@ParagonFragrances thank you I will order
Your reviews are totally believable as no hype. I've been on the fence about a Layton clone to preserve my OG juice. I love the Bottles from this house...I Absolutely love the Herod clone which is HELLA close to my nose. It lacks a little creaminess but thats negligible. Curious...how would you rate Leyden to other Layton clone ie; Detour Noir and Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu?
Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu is a really good fragrance. It definitely smells like Layton and performance is outstanding. You would not be disappointed in it if you love Layton. Also, Detour Noir is better than Leyden to me. Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu is certainly better than both of those.
Can someone help me to get this Amber Exclusif. I talked with Al Haramain people, they said this isnt their product. Someone just used their bottles and created it. I don't care about all that. I just know that it smells great but where can I buy it from? Especially if I want it to be shipped to India
Hi, nice vid as long time has passed, and so macertion:
HOW ARE THEY PERFORMANCE WISE NOW????
-

All are pretty good! I did an update video on my channel talking about all of these giving my thoughts.
How's the performance on galatea?
solid. 7-8 hours for me.
I had the perseus, performed well (at least 6 hours and fairly strong projection), however it's the type of scent that gets really boring, really quickly. They do perseus exclusif to clone pegasus exclusif as well, maybe worth a try
Thanks for the heads up! Yeah I will need to get my hands on that Perseus exclusif.
Idk if were high or something before making this video. Had me rolling all over the place 😂😂😂😂
Cassius is just a skin scent, performs like a glass of water.
Dead ☠️😅😅
There is no Herold did you mean Herod? Alhambra Bro
Bought layden and Kalos about a month ago.... Kalos is def a divisive scent... It's a 50/50 COMMENT factor... Meaning I might get a good compliment I might get a "ewwww you smell like outside" comment....
But layden is a cold hard lady killer.....I will say the performance is pretty trashy... But it smells so good you don't mind taking a travel tube and reapplying
Any Sedley clones?
I don't know if they have one in this line.
But I hear Maahir legacy is a great sedly clone.
Hi, great video, do you know any Parfum de Marly Percival clones ?
Mont Blanc Legend EDP.
@@ParagonFragranceswhat about PDM althair
So i jumped rhe gun on my question so of them all you like pegasus clone. If i have craze would it be redundant or should i get it. ?
Yeah I would say if you have craze don't get it. I mean if you like the DNA and you wear it a lot maybe. But if you have more than one clone of a fragrance it's kind of pointless. I would just buy the original.
Would it be possible to get some samples of those from you?
its herod
i expect to see these in your next rotations, gotta know how the actual experience is on skin, becus usually on strip they could smell more fresh or less dense
Hell yeah! Kalos is my SOTD and I'm really liking it. I feel it's easier to wear vs Kalan. VERY NICE!
And performance wise
put some pressure on Nate.. to not allow him go be a niche snob.. hahaha
smell niche but with clones :D
I had a big argue on facebook yesterday (I know its stupid) about some people saying the clone smells 99% same but they bought the clone to use daily.. and use the expensive once a year.. I thought it is stupid because if its 99% same.. only use the clone.. no point on buying the real one as no one is going to see the bottle.. and people will smell the same thing.. I dont like niche snobs :)
@@papasmurf499 it's doing a mighty job today, I will see how long it goes for. This weekly rotation I will talk about it. 🔥
I got Cassius but the performance is so weak. I had to just buy an actual bottle Carlisle
Did performance improve any with time?
With all due respect how can you look at the word “Alhambra” & pronounce it “Alhambray?” It’s so bizarre. I also expected the UA-camr to have more familiarity with the House being duped but both called it AND put up a graphic that the original fragrance was “Herold”. 😮. it’s Herod as in Herod the Great. Not Harold (and the purple crayon) 😢
Harold The Grits.
It’s HEROD goddamn it there’s no L
First it was an 'n' in bergamot and now this. Way to go plaragon
Bro is wishing for an exact bottle replica lol
90% there! Just a bit more to go! 🤣🤣
No sedley or greenley clone?
I didn't even though those existed! I'll have to check them out. Do you know where I can find them?
@@ParagonFragrances
I don' t know either if they excist lol thought you or someone else maybe knew a good clone of those two
The galatea can be used in hot weather?
Probably not. It's a heavy leather scent. It might choke you out.
Gandalfs dolphin it's called hmm
"Gandalf..."
Parfums de Marly: *discontinues Godolphin* 😆
Gandalf Elixir coming 2024. 😂
Herod not Herold ....
Why you keep calling Herod Herold
Harold!! LOL I love how he manages to mispronounce just about everything.
Damn Nate the Herold kept making me laugh 😂😭

HEROD NOT HEROLD
craze or perseus?
No experience with craze, I would say Perseus isn't bad! Totally worth it!
Craze!
This is going to sound harsh, but fair's fair I think.
To quote a bit of Drag Race;
"Why y'all acting brand new?" Where's the prep, more importantly, comparison in a dupe review?
You mispronounce *so many* names, you flat-out forget other names completely (you could have notes off screen, and/or edit or cut in). More importantly you haven't tried some of the originals to compare, in a comparison video. So how well does this video meet the expectations set by the thumbnail? Are they good? Are they really clones? How do they compare? You can't tell us.
Right now all I can get from this is how you describe them as you find them/first impressions, which is more important to me than how sick they'll look on your counter.
You have charisma, you can present, your cinematography is polished, but there are bigger channels (and smaller, rougher ones) that I preferred to go to because they have the information.
Fair! Thank you for the comment.
I completely agree. I need to increase the value of my content with clear information. Changes will be made!
@@ParagonFragrancesbrother, this attitude will make you GROW
Isn’t it Herod
Yes, Herold does my taxes.
You lost me when you called Herod > Herold. Who could take your opinions seriously? Nice editing.
Herold takes me serious.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
There’s only one of those that really has decent longevity with some projection. You need the real ones. These are like watered down samples . They’re good to wear to bed. Take the money Get real samples. Seriously.
Hercules
How does this company not get sued
They already have once on their Tom Ford clones. They had to stop making them. (Allegedly)
@@ParagonFragrances do you know the name of the Sedley clone
@@antoniosmith197lattafa maahir is a sedley clone
@@antoniosmith197Lattafa Maahir Legacy Silver is a clone of PDM SEDLEY.
My Maahir Legacy is on the way now.
UA-camrs/Reviews agreed that it is the best dupe of SEDLEY.
Bruh how are there so many mispronunciations in one video??? Maison "Alham'bre", "Herold", "Galactus", "Kuh-lon" which he pronounced correctly earlier, "M8", "pur-guh-shursh. They are all literally written on the front of each bottle 🤦.
As many as it takes to get my point across that I am dyslexic af. ❤️
I bought kalos it's appalling
I need a Greenley clone asap

That would require research. 😂👍
Longevity for these?
Kalos is good, Hercules is great. Still testing the others.
Como esta os demais em desempenho?
MATE is a herb, you pronounce it as in Spanish. Not as a british Mate haha
Thanks mate 👍
@@ParagonFragrances btw, which one is your favorite? I was thinking about the silver one or which one is
How about longevity ?
Pretty on par with the originals. I get better performance with the Pegasus cloned than I do with the actual one from parfums de Marley.
Leyden is also really good with performance...
Overall pretty excellent stuff.
So judging by your review they don’t got “donkeys”. They rather got ponies
