Get Liquid brun by french avenue..mind blowingly similar and better in perfomance..

You are without a doubt my favourite fragrance reviewer , keep up the great work

Wearing this today. I definitely get the vanilla. I also get something that smells like either fabric softener or dryer sheets. I guess that's the orange blossom? The combination almost gives this an aromatic or barbershop tinge (not quite, but almost.) I've heard mixed reviews on this one, but my first impressions are that I quite like this. If it improves with time, like Ash mentioned, I think this this could be a big hit for them.

I got the opportunity to smell this in person when i went xmas shopping in Edinburgh 4 weeks ago .... honestly, it was my favourite of the lot !

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

Nice intro! Loving the channel!

Love the fake out at the beginning! Continue to be unbiased Ash! 👍🏻

Love your content bro

I layered this over Kalan today, and it's amazing!!

Great review

A coworker brought in a bottle of this that I got to smell and I absolutely loved it. I definitely like the sweeter gourmand scents and I definitely like vanilla. The praline slaps. I wanted to take a bite out of the arm that I sprayed it on, that's how delicious it smelled.

I got this one for Christmas. It is a ladies and compliment magnet.

I have a few of these type fragrances including Althair and Eau des Baux and I prefer Eau des Baux.. and obviously it’s way cheaper and I get more love / compliments from Eau des Baux … I do love Althair though it’s like he said the more you smell it the more addictive it is …

My Top 5: 1. Oajan 2. Althair 3. Layton 4. Carlisle 5. Sedley

@@jserrano316 Objectively I would definitely agree with you. Unfortunately the intense smell of tabac in Herod is too much for me personally, even if I love my Xerjoff Naxos. It seems that Herod's tabac note is very intense, but many people love exactly that original tabac smell

I personally find PDM bottles need a month or two to macerate after first sprays. I thought Layton was horrendous at first, then went back a few months later and loved it.

I get that synthetic sweetness in the opening of Layton as well! I was almost slightly disappointed with Layton until the 3rd/4th wear…since then I’ve been in love with it. I wonder if the same applies to this fragrance?

I’m a fan. This, Oajan and Percival are my favourites. Only currently own Percival and Herod though…

Just picked this up. This thing is incredible.

I’ve had dunhill desire red and Mercedes club black for a few years now and the couple times I smelled this at the store I didn’t really get all the comparisons. I think it’s pretty unique and kind of reminds me of a root beer float

I had Layton, Layton Exc, Herod, Carlisle, and Percival and was grateful they were all solid blind buys. The retail store I shop at now carries PDM so I got to try the entire lineup and the two that stood out above the rest that I don’t have are Oajan…and Althair. I went back and got Althair the next day lol. I’ll get Oajan soon. Pegasus Exc also caught my interest, perhaps down the road.

I just picked Oajan up last week, adding Althair next week. Very nice fragrance, I’ve been wearing the sample and it’s pretty nice.

Got talked into buying this by the saleslady at the perfume store. Experienced quite a bit a buyer's remorse, due mostly to the high price. That is, until I started wearing it. Each time I wear it, I like it more. Caveat: I would say it has about a 50-55% overlap with Layton.

It’s definitely the PDM dna in the base of the fragrance. Layton Ex, Haltane, Althair, Carlisle and a couple others ALL have the same warm heliotropin homofuranol vanillin Maltol coumarin base to make their “praline” accord.

I always wonder that people assign this fragrance to fall or winter. It does have vanilla but the extreme floral notes make it a clear spring scent to me. It smells around 85% like Nikos - Sculpture Homme EdT to me

Maybe I’m tripping but there’s a sweetness or maybe the ambroxan that I pick up in in Bond No 9 Lafayette Street that I also pick up in Althair…not sayin they smell similar but they share certain nuances…anyone else pick up on that ?

I get compliments every time i wear it from men and women. Conversation starter 😁

I absolutely love it,, but prefer duas the eagle has landed,, nothing like alternative hair , and a begging letter. Ps reminds me of holicks and maltessers .

Tried them all at various times. The only one that lured me back was Althair. Reminds me of a winter camp fire and a smooth bourbon.

I'm obsessed with it. I got a sample and knew I couldn't swing that cash, so, searched and found a perfect clone. The dua brand " the eagle has landed" honeslty side by side they are pretty exact. Dua is alittle more vanilla and alittle more menthol, which is kinda what I like about it. I will be saving up for the real deal, its that worth it to me. Even though i get the exact same thing from dua, i want the real one too. I found the dua did actually last longer too.

3:11 It's a riot!! Give Ash a normal bottle and a new box!😢💯 Either Aqua Atlantis will send a broken bottle, or Aqua Di Gio passing a spray bottle, now PDM has distinguished themselves, but Ash does a very useful job for you. It's depressing 💔🤗

Love it! Sweet, warm, vanilla, perfect Fall & Winter fragrance…. Very non offensive…

Congratulations, Ash! 😂

Yeah my friend had a sample of it and I wasn't impressed. Not bad, but not a must have. There's probably similar for a lower price.

Ooooh I need to smell this.

LOLOLOLOL😂😂😂 Funny opening sir!

bought it and didn’t like it, gonna give it a few months to see if it changes but something about it that bothers me

Bought it directly from PDM on day 1. Headache everytime I use it.

The intro is hilarious... alhambra do what you have to do

PDM names its perfumes after horses' names, and some of these horses are Arabians, and have Arabic names. In this case this one is pronounced Altha-ir which translates to 'the rebellious' in Arabic. The 'th' in Altair is pronounced θ, like in the word 'thing'

I got this back in early December for 150€ 50ml. bottle but will open it probably next month when I’m done with Jpg Le Male Elixir.

PDM is a niche brand, Designer brands i.e. Dior,Armani, and Versace are usually more mainstream and popular amongst the public usually due to simplicity/ease of access/price. You’ll be alright.

I finally got to test this one first hand. Not impressed. It smells like a stronger darker Kalan.

Top 3 from PDM for me

Herod Althair Layton Greenley Haltane

he didn’t get a message from PdM he got a message from Petey M. 😂

Nice one bro 🫶🏾🤗🎉🎊🥳

Not a fan of this one, the guaiac wood overpowers it too much for me.

That intro 😂😂🤣

You so got me lol

I bought the sample set and so far greenley sedley Pegasus haltane percival on me all ranging from really offputting to disappointing for the price . Pegasus was the closest but the cumin note was like finding a fingernail In your dessert two spoons in . Percival got overpowered by the jasmine and coriander to the point that it gave me fabuloso vibes

Yeah there’s something odd about Pegasus. Kind of “dusty”. I think I find almond quite challenging.

First time I wore mine. It smelled like burnt chemicals 🤷

This is possibly the weakest PdM has ever put out. My sample is completely gone after about 5 hours, and while it lasts it sits very close on skin.

barely lasts on my skin

Armaf Craze is one to one clone of this. Dry down is exactly the same.

I found Althair to be a little too feminine. Great scent, but not spesial either.

I tried and was very disappointed with this scent.

👍👍👍

Sorry... I prefer herod......

WHat’s with the sweet trend for mens fragrances? Erp…. 🤢

Did you just say "final-ee"? Did you mean finale or finalist? Parfum de Final-ee.😁 "I didn't like the colorization of it. But i own a sweater the same color"😖 You're in trouble Ash if that was a wife gift. Oh oh😮.

Here is my box….

Tried a sample …. Another overhyped and overpriced fragrance. Loads of fragrances that smell very similar for a fraction of the price

🤘

To my nose, it smells very similar to Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum minus the smokiness and increase in sweetness.

Altair? Nothing is true, everything is permitted....oh, wait, you meant 'Althair'.

Oajan just better

Feel it’s going to get worse and worse. I called it when they got bought out.

Can’t wait to not buy this and get the $20 clone instead 😂

Have you ever heard of maceration or maturation ??? Do you know what those terms mean in perfumery ??? Perfumes change by time, so, the one with a broken nose is you.

Generally I have similar taste to him for a lot of frags. But for PDM, we have opposite lists. Layton is meh. Percival Greenley and Sedley arent bad but i wouldnt have any of them in the top 10, theyre basic generic freshies. So I know now I dont need to bother with Althair 🥱

Not the biggest fan of sweet fragrances but i leep seeing this pop up . Just patiently waiting for a clone 🫥
