As we know, PDM and Initio are "sister companies" and this gives them the luxury of purchasing high quality ingredients at a cheaper price (due to volume) and they can access top perfumers and use them for both of the houses.
I like very much Layton, Herod, Oajan and Musc Therapy .. the rest are questionable for my nose.
Haltane is the big elephant in the room, called Initio Oud for Greatness put in green clothes for Parfums de Marly and with more ML for the price - which is good.
I do not appreciate at all the saffron dose in it, it will take all my air out and I cannot enjoy it - even if I like the complexity of the notes and what the result is. I have a problem with the Saffron notes in many perfumes, not only with the Initio.
Haltane is nice, has high quality lavender and bergamot when it starts .. then it is following with a sweet praline note and a ton of saffron, after that I can´t sniff it anymore.
