I haven't smelled every fragrance in the world, but I can definitely say Carlisle is the very best I've ever smelled. Coincidentally, Layton and Herod are close second and third. All PDM fragrances.
I talked to a fragrance salesperson the other day and told me PDM has been doing well since UA-cam and Tiktok. He feels people are so easily influenced. LOL! He is right. I wonder how much Ashton gets paid to hype certain fragrances.
@@rippedup4546 this is true. Have a sample of Layton and debating whether to buy it. Asked my wife to smell it and all she said was ‘generic’. I came to my senses when I realised that yes it is a generic smell.
Carlisle is the top PDM in my opinion. The complement factor is higher with Layton, but I don't care. Carlisle is rich, deep, not-too-sweet perfection.
several years late to the party here but Carlisle is incredible. this year was the year where I went from deigner to high end designer and then to niche. PDM is my brand of choice. Current favs 1 Haltane 2 Layton 3 Carlisle 4 Kalan (honestly, grew on me in a short period of time)
Kalan grew on me rapidly also , I have kalan layton Carlisle and oajan I'm having trouble buying Haltane. I was like you I moved from high end designer onto niche I would never go back now
I have only smelled Layton, and that was after I bought it. I blind bought the fragrance after watching so many reviews. It is my favorite fragrance in y Small (but growing ) collection. I really appreciate the reviews and insight into these fragrances. It helps take a lot of the guess work out of my purchases.
Carlisle is my favourite PdM scent, it’s delicious imo. Herod goes really sour on my skin so I’m not a fan despite tobacco being my favourite fragrance note. I also really enjoy Pegasus and Oajan in the winter. Great review! 👍
I agree with you about the first 10 minutes or so of this fragrance. It's also strange how this changes so much over time. The dry down is almost chocolatey to me, very creamy, but the opening is quite spicey.
Layton is my ATF!! I just finished trying PDM Discovery Kit + Kalan samples (2) + Sedley sample. I plan on buying full bottle of Layton and Pegasus. I already have travel size of Layton Exclusif. I am receiving a sample of Carlisle tomorrow from LS.
The drydown for fragrance is amazing however I don't love the opening at all .. it reminds me of prunes for some reason . I'm glad it changes so drastically
I went to a PDM event at Osme Perfumery last February coming away liking Carlisle, Herod & Layton. Afterwards I purchased decants of both Herod and Carlisle. On cooler days I seem to reach for Carlisle the most which will probably be my bottle purchase. They both are so closely alike that I wouldn't by bottles of both. As for Layton, I recently purchased the Alexandria's inspired expression called Royal Equestrian. This is so close to Layton that I won't ever be purchasing a bottle. Carlisle is 🔥
The only PDM fragrance I have is Herod, and I love it. It's like the best of YSL Tuxedo plus a bonus depth that says masculine but sweet. When James Bond sat down to play poker in Casino Royale, I bet he was wearing Herod.
Carlisle is probably my favorite of the house. The more I wear it the more I love it. Layton is obviously easier to wear in all seasons, but the depth of Carlisle wins for me.
Carlise is my favorite PDM fragrance. Totally beast mode... I'm down to my last 10 ml of my bottle and can't find another without paying almost $400 usd for a 100ml
@@Cainebourne yeah I posted this back when basically Carlisle was out of stock everywhere and you had to pay basically $400 to get it . I got 2 bottles now and probably didn't pay 400 combined
If you’re into designers I’d say go for Layton over Carlisle. This is very niche imo whereas Layton is more of a gateway fragrance for those moving into niche style frags. I bought a 10ml of this a few years ago and I’ve only used half of it. Definitely not a teenager fragrance, very masculine
I was super excited to try Carlisle, but when I finally did, I was super disappointed. Just don’t get the hype. As of now, Herod is my favorite scent with Layton in 2nd place. I really want to try Oajan next.
I bought a sample of Carlisle the other day and i didn't really like it at first but, man, it's really growing on me. I think I'll order a bottle now. Great review thank you!
Dude, I blind bought this based on your review. Just watched your video again after I received my bottle just now. I do agree the first ten minutes really made me almost to hate the fragrance, but love it after like 30 minutes. Would you also please do a Amouage Interlude Man full review
I ordered (samples) Percival, Pegasus, Habdan, Herod, Oajan, Delina, Layton, Layton exclusif, Carlisle... All these frangrances are OVERHYPED. Don't believe the hype. I have a big family and many friends, I had them smell these fragrances... None of these fragrances induced the reaction I had with dolce & gabbana The One or YSL la nuit de l'homme. These fragrances (parfum de marly) are way too gourmand and feminine. If u like to walk around smelling like a tiramisu or an applepie full of cinamon, these fragrances may be for u... Also, Herod smells exactly like rochas men but 6 times more expensive... Layton exclusif smells like the room of an old woman, full of incense. I even bought Delina cause Demi Rawling sold me a dream (fragrance for women), this fragrance can't compare to the Chanel N°5, J'adore de Dior, ... The only positive point I have to concede is that the performance is REALLY on point. Even after taking a shower, u can still smell the motherf******. If affiliate marketing didn't exist, I doubt these would have had that much hype... I'm disappointed but happy ath the same time cause not gonna have to spend my money on a +200 euros fragrances. Don't invest your money in that sh*t...Don't be a fragrance snob, there is absolutely no difference between designer and niche except the performance but it's not worth 5-6 times the price...
I really appreciate your take on this one Ashton ! I perceive Carlisle as def leaning on the masculine side with kind of a slightly sweet spicy leathery vibe off my skin. This one is great and suits me well for the cooler/colder temps. I can wear this one with a leather jacket or dressed up . . . especially around the Autumn and Winter holiday's. To date, my favorite from PDM is Layton Exclusif. If I were a newbie in fragrance however, I might give the nod to the original Layton. Again, Happy Holiday's to you and yours !
My only issue with Carlisle is I go noseblind to it within an hour and as far as the wearer is concerned you have to lowkey smell your shirt to get it after a while, however, other people can smell you for a pretty long time.
I wasn't a fan of the opening it wasn't bad but I was underwhelmed due to the hype but in the dry down is where this shines. I got a leather Amber from the opening but it settled down very nice to a vanilla and nice spice.
My favorite PFDM hands down is Layton with Carlisle a very close second. Layton is my favorite scent second only to Dior Sauvage ODT. Thanks for your reviews. I thoroughly enjoy your channel.👍
Nice review Ash. I've never smelled a PdM fragrance. Samples of layton, Carlisle, oajan, percival and delina arrive later today! Cant wait...most excited to smell Oajan and Carlisle.
I just recently acquired Carlisle. It is everything it is hyped up to be and is therefore one of, if not THE flagship scent from PdM. It is absolutely one of my top!
In terms of just enjoying how they smell my favorite PDMs are Layton and Kalan. Layton's got a nice combo of fruitiness and freshness and Kalan almost smells like some sort of delicious citrus curry dish. Sorry to hear you didn't like Kalan; it's one of my favorites!
I recently acquired decants of over 20 renowned fall/winter niche and designer fragrances, including Carlisle, Layton, Herod, a few Tom Fords, Dior Homme Intense, and Gentleman Reserve Privé, among others. After conducting numerous blind tests, Parfums de Marly dominated my top five, claiming four spots. While I plan to purchase all of them for different occasions, I must confess: Carlisle stands out as the most elegant and masculine fragrance of all. Its bold character exudes power and sophistication, reminiscent of Terre d'Hermès EDT, but perfectly tailored for the colder months. It’s a true statement-maker.
Please do a review on Kenzo Homme. It’s one of the most unique and fresh scents out there. I haven’t seen any reviewer in the community talk about it. This one deserves some attention.
Blind bought Carlisle after looking at MANY UA-cam video’s and multiple reviews and I am super happy with the purchase. It’s definitely a winter/fall fragrance but I only need 2 sprays and it lasts me all day.
LOL! But in reality most people don't like that scent on people. However, most people like Kalan on men. That's why I don't listen to fragrance reviewers. I watch them to find out about fragrances I've never heard of, but don't really care for their opinion.
@@rippedup4546 Yeah I've heard not that great things about Kalan but have yet to try it as i don't have a PDM in my city, I also did blind buy Layton and I'll be honest I'm not that impressed even though people rave on about it.
Carlisle is probably the best PDM with layton and herod closely following behind..i enjoy herod also i spray it on my wrist just to sniff it..only if the longevity would have been like carlisle..
Interestingly, Carlisle on my skin IS more of a fruity floral scent... at least in the opening. There are so many nuances to it that in my estimation, it's actually overly complex and not earthy or woody enough, and I dislike it for that reason, but I know I'm in a minority here. But it just doesn't work for me, plus my wife hates it on my skin. For me, it suffers from the problem of being all things to all people, and not picking one specific direction. Try before you buy for sure.
Yeah just tried this one after buying Layton. Not sure what you guys were smelling. But it made everyone at the store nauseous. Everytime someone smelled it they felt sick.
Got my PdM Layton from Fragrancenet and I am not smelling the same I smelled at the Nordstrom store. After two hours I can't smell it. Will be returning it. I've ordered Herod from FragranceX will see if it smell the same as the sample I got from Nordstrom.
I just bought it. I’m not impressed. With all the hype I was expecting to be blown away. I was expecting something like Royal Oud from Creed. To me it’s green apple Jolly Rancher candy, vanilla, smoke, and patchouli. On the dry down I’m mostly getting smoke and patchouli. Ébène Fumé by Tom Ford is a much better smoky-resin fragrance.
This is my favorite fragrance I own. I wear this to work twice a week... because I work remote, so it's just me and the dog. Seriously, on my skin the projection is 3 ft.+, and it lasts 12 hours on my skin, and 3+ days on whatever shirt collar I spray it on. The opening is too smoky for me, but that's gone in a minute or two. After 10 minutes it's simply fantastic, and the longer it's there, the better it gets. 6 hours in, it's hard to keep from sniffing my arm like a lunatic. I do smell the rose, but it's completely underpinned by the patchouli-tonka-vanilla combination that smells... expensive.
Maybe I haven't given it enough time to evolve but it smells reminiscent of Tom Ford black orchid. To me black orchid smells better. It has that mysterious pop in it that Carlisle lacks.
All sents are unisex truly and honestly but we have developed a traditional way of use, I have only smell go dolphin I dont even know what it is but I think I love it!!
carlisle is basically layton +herod+habdan mixed together as such you can be of two schools of thought A carlisle id awesome and if you have it you dont need the other three, actually there is no situation wherein one would rather wear any of those 3 instead of carlisle or B the exact opposite , i am on B team IMO carlisle is a derivative, uninspiring and redundant release , i prefer to have layton, herod and habdan and wear those separately instead of carlisle , as each of them is 1 more versitle/wearable and 2 more coherant as an idea with a distinct and unique character that said carlisle is much more cost-effective considering its 3 PDMs in one bottle,and it performs better than either of those 3 , at least on me , but it compromises on versatility, again from my perspective, its exclusively, or predominantly a winter and cold weather nights out , and formal occasion scent , its too strong and cloying for the fall, its not office-friendly , its too dark and resinous for casual use , for date its 50/50 if its too much or not i have to admit i love carlisle as a scent it does smell awesome but its not bottle/ buy worthy for me , i am much happier owning layton , herod and habdan instead of carlisle , and i really see no point or use for owning those 3 an carlisle together , but thats just me
Hey Ashton! I have a doubt regarding the cap of carlisle? I have got a carlisle where the presentation and batch code looks all right. But two issues : Cap of my Carlisle is different from that of my Herod and Oajan bottle. In the case of my Herod and Oajan, I need to put some effort to remove the cap from the bottle , this is not the case with my Carlisle bottle. Second issue: Smell doesn't change much and projection is very poor after 30mins. Remains as a faint skin scent for another 6 hours! Could you please tell me about the cap of your carlisle bottle!
PDM is a bit expensive for me. I’ve only put my nose on three of them. Personally I’d rather wear Layton Exclusif than Layton. Layton Exclusif is darker on skin but it smells great. Layton smells darker and on skin it’s a similar thing. I’m getting now Herod and Carlisle, so cannot say anything yet. Great video, as usual!
I’ve smelled the entire line many times. Carlisle is the best to me, but older bottles of Herod compete. Layton Exclusif if you don’t mind the harshness is also quite nice. Gives me a headache tho
I just got a sample of this and I didn’t care for it at all. I really wanted to like it because it sounded like something I’d be into but there was just something so off-putting about it to me. I’m gonna give it another shot later today on its own since I sampled it with a bunch of other PDM samples I got.
I just smelled it again and I like it a lot more. Not sure what happened yesterday but it smells completely different today. The sweetness has come out a lot more. I'm not sure if I like it enough to buy a bottle of it, but it is very enjoyable. I think I like it more than Herod, but not as much as Layton.
I have a bottle of this and i do agree that this is a fruity floral. I find it very similar to Layton which i have as well and I think they are somewhat redundant of each other. Layton more on the oriental and smoky drydown while Carlisle more towards floral
Carlilse became my number 1 and signature scent when it first became available to the masses. I literally forgot about Layton and haven't worn it since. Glad to see this being talked about finally at Layton frequency lol
01 Layton- because it's perfection ... unique .. fantastic , fresh... when i smell it ... gives me kind of a "mmmmmm " reaction it's 9/10 for me 02 Haban - because its defferent, and when it hits the drydown .. its woahhh.. and its not as expensive 03 Carlislle - well, its a beast but it opens up like a few other pdm fragrances.. its not as unique but it is the best from the rest 04 Percival - well mainly because its sweet fresh .. and the first day i wore it at my university .. i got 4 complements in witch one was from girl that just walked by
How long should a bottle of this last before going bad? I know some may get better over time. Pdm says three years. I was gonna buy a used bottle from someone that is 1.5 yr since first spray.
I’m about to blind buy Herod or Carlisle. Which would you recommend? I.Absolutely love spice bomb and spice bomb extreme and love the unique character from spice. It smells great off my skin as well
I get a kinda oud smell of my skin. A bit like tom ford oud wood but sweeter. I like herod more. Carlisle is not word the money in my opinion. €280 for a bottle😂.
I haven't smelled every fragrance in the world, but I can definitely say Carlisle is the very best I've ever smelled. Coincidentally, Layton and Herod are close second and third. All PDM fragrances.
Me too, well it’s
1. Carlisle
2. Layton(Original)
3. Habdan

Carlisle, Herod, Layton in that order. PDM kills it with these heavy cold weather-ish scents...Percival is my favorite freshy from the house.

Haven’t smelled Carlisle, but it is rapidly becoming one I want to try. My favorite PDM is Herod. It’s totally gorgeous.
Carlisle 1st smell to me is very floral and feminine.
I spray Herod behind my ears and on my wrists and then Tuscan Leather on my collarbones and behind my neck. The sweetest bookshop vibes :)
It's interesting how in our community the PDM favorite seems to be shifting from Layton to Carlisle. I love both and most of their line.
For me its Carlisle, Pegasus and Kalan. Admittedly, I still have to smell a lot of their fragrances though.
@Surround Scent Maybe true. I also think some reviewers are highly influenced by the other.
Out of Carlisle, Herod, and Layton, Carlisle is the winner for me.

Carlisle has taken over my #1 PDM spot, and I own 8! It's followed closely by Oajan, and Habdan.
May I ask where are you getting yours from? Thanks!

For me is 1. Carlile 2. Herod 3. Layton 4. Ojan
Agreed! I could swap Layton and Herod for the #2 and #3 spot on any given day but you're spot on
@@tfromthasix1956 for me I get more compliments with that order. Don't get me wrong last year Layton was in number 1.
Got my PdM Layton from Fragrancenet and I am not smelling the same I smelled at the Nordstrom store. After two hours I can't smell it. Will be returning it. I've ordered Herod from FragranceX will see if it smell the same as the sample I got from Nordstrom.
Carlisle is my personal all time favorite, not just in the pdm line.
Totally agreed! Carlisle is a fragrance perfection!
Mine as well. Got a lifetime supply of it and I'll be wearing it until I kick the bucket! 👌
I have it but don't get the hype. It's decent but I wouldn't buy it again. Herod is my champ. Followed by the criminally underrated Percival.
I just bought it. I’m not impressed. With all the hype I was expecting to be blown away. I was expecting something like Royal Oud from Creed. To me it’s green apple Jolly Rancher candy, vanilla, smoke, and patchouli. On the dry down I’m mostly getting smoke and patchouli. Ébène Fumé by Tom Ford is a much better smoky-resin fragrance.
This is my favorite fragrance I own. I wear this to work twice a week... because I work remote, so it's just me and the dog. Seriously, on my skin the projection is 3 ft.+, and it lasts 12 hours on my skin, and 3+ days on whatever shirt collar I spray it on. The opening is too smoky for me, but that's gone in a minute or two. After 10 minutes it's simply fantastic, and the longer it's there, the better it gets. 6 hours in, it's hard to keep from sniffing my arm like a lunatic. I do smell the rose, but it's completely underpinned by the patchouli-tonka-vanilla combination that smells... expensive.
Maybe I haven't given it enough time to evolve but it smells reminiscent of Tom Ford black orchid. To me black orchid smells better. It has that mysterious pop in it that Carlisle lacks.
I hope not, bc I hate Black Orchid
The ladies are always giving me compliments
All sents are unisex truly and honestly but we have developed a traditional way of use, I have only smell go dolphin I dont even know what it is but I think I love it!!
Great review man. Received a sample and tried it. Love the dry down of this fragrance
For me, i like pegasus best then herod, Carlisle, layton and Galloway have them all, love it, big fan of parfums de marly
carlisle is basically layton +herod+habdan mixed together as such you can be of two schools of thought A carlisle id awesome and if you have it you dont need the other three, actually there is no situation wherein one would rather wear any of those 3 instead of carlisle or B the exact opposite , i am on B team
IMO carlisle is a derivative, uninspiring and redundant release , i prefer to have layton, herod and habdan and wear those separately instead of carlisle , as each of them is 1 more versitle/wearable and 2 more coherant as an idea with a distinct and unique character
that said carlisle is much more cost-effective considering its 3 PDMs in one bottle,and it performs better than either of those 3 , at least on me , but it compromises on versatility, again from my perspective, its exclusively, or predominantly a winter and cold weather nights out , and formal occasion scent , its too strong and cloying for the fall, its not office-friendly , its too dark and resinous for casual use , for date its 50/50 if its too much or not
i have to admit i love carlisle as a scent it does smell awesome but its not bottle/ buy worthy for me , i am much happier owning layton , herod and habdan instead of carlisle , and i really see no point or use for owning those 3 an carlisle together , but thats just me
herod and layton exclusif are my favs at the moment
Unfortunately, on the dry down this became cloyingly sweet on my skin.
Have a full size bottle of Herod and love it.
1.Carlisle, 2.Layton Exclusif
3.Herod 4. Godolphin 5.Habdan
Herod, all the way , fantastic dry down.
Could not agree more! Herod is fire 🔥
Hey Ashton! I have a doubt regarding the cap of carlisle? I have got a carlisle where the presentation and batch code looks all right. But two issues : Cap of my Carlisle is different from that of my Herod and Oajan bottle. In the case of my Herod and Oajan, I need to put some effort to remove the cap from the bottle , this is not the case with my Carlisle bottle.
Second issue: Smell doesn't change much and projection is very poor after 30mins. Remains as a faint skin scent for another 6 hours!
Could you please tell me about the cap of your carlisle bottle!
PDM is a bit expensive for me. I’ve only put my nose on three of them. Personally I’d rather wear Layton Exclusif than Layton. Layton Exclusif is darker on skin but it smells great. Layton smells darker and on skin it’s a similar thing.
I’m getting now Herod and Carlisle, so cannot say anything yet.
Great video, as usual!
And smells a lot like Mancera Red Tobacco. I got a sample of Red Tobacco and was surprised how similar they are.
tsanegrete opening wise? Dry down wise?
LeBeautiful dry down.
Shagya is my fave clean almost soapy with well blended easily wearable oud. Didn't smell layton or carlisle
Kalan is one of the best along with Green Irish Tweed...Kalan is a performer!
Just ordered this and layton , herod and Pegasus . Thank you guys im broke now .
Our tastes our very different you like too many strong strong fragrances that are bold and less inviting. Thanks for the watches ive contributed.
Right I've noticed that with Him. I Prefer More Alluring and Inviting he Prefers more BOLD and Brash. I Enjoy his Vidz but we have diff Taste
Hi Ashton, sorry I know this is a old video now but was wondering which PDM fragrances you would put above Carlisle please?
I’ve smelled the entire line many times. Carlisle is the best to me, but older bottles of Herod compete. Layton Exclusif if you don’t mind the harshness is also quite nice. Gives me a headache tho
I just got a sample of this and I didn’t care for it at all. I really wanted to like it because it sounded like something I’d be into but there was just something so off-putting about it to me. I’m gonna give it another shot later today on its own since I sampled it with a bunch of other PDM samples I got.
I just smelled it again and I like it a lot more. Not sure what happened yesterday but it smells completely different today. The sweetness has come out a lot more. I'm not sure if I like it enough to buy a bottle of it, but it is very enjoyable. I think I like it more than Herod, but not as much as Layton.
I cannot wait to smell Carlisle...just got Layton in the mail and I’m loving it already
If you love Layton, you'll surely love Carlisle. Maybe even more.
I have a bottle of this and i do agree that this is a fruity floral. I find it very similar to Layton which i have as well and I think they are somewhat redundant of each other. Layton more on the oriental and smoky drydown while Carlisle more towards floral
Carlisle is pretty much Tom Ford Extreme Noir, Percival = Legend.
Could be an idea to do a vid of PDM cheaper alternatives?
Carlilse became my number 1 and signature scent when it first became available to the masses. I literally forgot about Layton and haven't worn it since. Glad to see this being talked about finally at Layton frequency lol
You’re absolutely right you’re all appoint with this fragrance I love it my wife loves it I Kinda reminds me of Tom Ford Noir extreme extreme
It does remind me of noir extreme as well! Especially the drydown!
01 Layton- because it's perfection ... unique .. fantastic , fresh... when i smell it ... gives me kind of a "mmmmmm " reaction it's 9/10 for me
02 Haban - because its defferent, and when it hits the drydown .. its woahhh.. and its not as expensive
03 Carlislle - well, its a beast but it opens up like a few other pdm fragrances.. its not as unique but it is the best from the rest
04 Percival - well mainly because its sweet fresh .. and the first day i wore it at my university .. i got 4 complements in witch one was from girl that just walked by
Mvirtuos Layton or Exclusif?
@@yahweh1979 layton royal essence
Mvirtuos try Herod, Its masterpiece
Perfect 10 Out of 10 for Parfums de Marly Carlisle!!!
I keep hearing about a tobacco smell, but its not in the notes......whats that about???
I would love to here you describe the differences between layton and layton exclusif. I´m currently scratching my head over wich one to buy...
Opening is so-so but the drydown is outstanding. Only PDM I’d get a full bottle of.
How long should a bottle of this last before going bad? I know some may get better over time. Pdm says three years. I was gonna buy a used bottle from someone that is 1.5 yr since first spray.
Please do a review of Habdan too. The most underrated pdm. It’s just gorgeous!
I like Carlisle a lot, but I love Layton and Pegasus
I’m about to blind buy Herod or Carlisle. Which would you recommend? I.Absolutely love spice bomb and spice bomb extreme and love the unique character from spice. It smells great off my skin as well
I bought Herod
I brought Herod over creed aventus as my first niche fragrance. Uhhh.... i made a unique choice but it was the right choice. PDM rocks hard.
Carlisle 🔥 🔥🔥
I only have one PDM so far and that’s Layton and loving it! I am about to give Carlisle a try for upcoming fall and winter here on East Coast.
I get a kinda oud smell of my skin. A bit like tom ford oud wood but sweeter. I like herod more. Carlisle is not word the money in my opinion. €280 for a bottle😂.
My favorite PDM is Royal Equestrian.
