    Smells like a fall focused Love Don’t be Shy with added cinnamon and amped up vanilla. Much less sweet as well. Definitely different but I’m reminded of it. This is a beautiful, cozy and comforting scent. The dry down is almost like cream soda poured over vanilla bean ice cream. Love it. 9.5/10

  • @Carnivore.A.J
    @Carnivore.A.J Před 11 měsíci +5

    It doesn’t smell synthetic at all, to my nose, it’s a fragrance of extremely high quality. There might be differences between the US batches and EU batches, or perhaps you’re accustomed to fragrances of even higher quality. It reminds me of Layton, but at the same time, it smells different - it’s kind of strange 😂 I think they used the exact same vanilla or something similar.

    Etiket finally got the tester on Friday and as soon as I walked in, the perfume specialist Emma set it in front of me for me to smell and then proceeded to make me a few samples of it. Smells really great but I haven't tested it on skin yet. I'm sure I'll love it when I get it into the rotation because I adore vanilla in fragrances.

    Got Althair delivered today. Was surprised how much is reminds me of Pegasus. So, I sprayed both Althair and Pegasus on tester strips and I couldn't tell them apart until the dry down/base notes at which they definitely depart scent profiles as the Althair stayed far sweeter and fresher. Maybe it's my nose today...but really could not distinguish in the opening and heart notes.
    Note: You're completely right, it's very helpful to have a fragrance compared to others, gives valuable info.

    Pegasus minus Almond and lavendar plus lots of sweetened Vanilla and a little cinnamon. Armaf should make another Craze flanker of this one. I layered Armaf Craze and Mercedes Club Black on the left and Althair on the right. Took votes in the house. MCB + Craze won 5 to 0.

  • @DavidGarcia-zu3hl
    @DavidGarcia-zu3hl Před 6 měsíci

    PERFECT description of PdM's production of frags that are in the niche category, while some are def designer. Again agree, this one is in the designer category. Like all my 22 PdMs, it is Very Well Made. To my subjective nose it is a 'pleasant' designer scent....that is absolutely Not Worth $350. I tried the OG and then picked up a dupe from Dua. Given the pleasant and relatively simple note breakdown, guess what? This frag is So Easy to Layer, and it does that extremely well. Again, I won't spend $350 to find a frag I can layer. Lowest price I have found in Feb 2024 for Althair is $225 at a trusted discounted retailer. Disclaimer: my tastes lean strongly niche vice designer. Give me the two Exclusif flankers, Habdan and Oajan, and Herod as the ones that I reach for first.

  • @Teeb2023
    @Teeb2023 Před 11 měsíci +6

    Bought a sample last week, like it, not love it, and it reminds me (a bit) of Initio Rehab when it starts to dry down. Not sure it's worth that full bottle price though due to lacklustre longevity, even with the PdM 25% bonus over yer standard 100ml bottles. Also, it does lean a little too much into the feminine for me, personally.

    Why so many people mispronounce the name of this perfume is a mystery to me, especially as it is explicitly called Althaïr, i.e. with an ï. The letter ‘ï’ is normally pronounced as a narrow, front, unrounded vowel, similar to the ‘ee’ sound in ‘see’. Apart from that, I really like your vids. ;-)

    Frags can be broken up in genre's because that's the way they are designed. For example the Aventus genre, not clones, that have that vibe and that general vibe such as Explorer or Hacivat. Then there is the Blue genre inspired by Chanel and so on. You're doing it right bro. Keep it up.

    PDM is hard to fault. This fragrance imo is their miss and I think its because Im not a fan of perfumers attempting to make a vanilla-smoke/incense combo work. This smells dated. It isnt particularly alluring or pleasing - it smells niche for the sake of niche whereas Layton was niche due to its pricetag but was also an easy to love scent. There was a fragrance Ash recommended with a similar vibe from Issey Miyake. I bought it and sold it at a slight loss on ebay bc the combo wasnt for me. For cool weather - Layton, Habdan or Herod are my recommends.

Wear about 5 times and see if you want to smell this a 6th. I didn't. I returned it a few hours later when for whatever reason I just didn't want to keep smelling this. If I owned it and also had Club Black and Most Wanter Parfum I would never reach for this unfortunately.

    Man herod exclusif is something ive been asking Pdm for years lol they always like my comments so it may still come . I use duas attar version and sold my original herod since i enjoy dual better. But the herod smell is up there in my top 5 with l air du desert morocain , layton, l immensite, br540, dior homme intense... so id loveee to see an exclusif herod.

    I thought I’d get it before they eventually reformulaste and weaken it, but they are doing 83% right out the gate.

    • @SirSillageSniffington
      @SirSillageSniffington Před 11 měsíci +1

      Parfums de Marly have gone on record as saying that the percentage of fragrance oil in their fragrances never changed and that the label change from 78-82% was due to a change in the way they count the alcohol percentage. I know it’s easy to say “I don’t believe them” but to release an actual official signed statement saying that, would be potentially opening themselves to lawsuits and trouble if someone proved otherwise by running a GCMS on it, so I have no reason to doubt it personally.
      I have an 82% Pegasus Exclusif and it is not remotely “watered down” compared to what I’ve tried before of older batches - the stuff is strong as heck. I’ve also seen people comparing 82% to 78% batches (of Layton) and saying that 82% batches are actually stronger and longer lasting. So yeh, who knows eh. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Most of perfume de Marley’s are a waste of money Especially Carlisle. And I know you like that one the most lol I tried everyone you recommended and not a fan. They are too sweet. PARFUMS de MARLY - Oajan and Galloway and Layton is ok. But de marly colognes are over price and they are not really great smelling most of them smell like burning incense. Lol if that’s what you like fine ✌🏻

    I was going to blind buy this fragrance but I was able to visit Neiman Marcus and try it out first. I tested it on skin and it reminded me a lot of Tom Ford Metallique. I didn’t find anything special about it and definitely not worth the price point to me. I’m glad I tested it first, it saved me a lot of money.
