PDM hidden gem!
Parfums de Marly Galloway always seems to be overlooked when it comes to popular scents from PDM, but let me tell you, this fragrance is truly stunning! It gives off a vibe of a "clean white shirt on a sunny day" with its citrusy freshness and muskiness. Perfect for those hot summer days. Surprisingly, it has good longevity and projection for a fresh scent. It's my go to choice for when it's scorching hot outside, even better than Sedley!
My darling.
YSL Tuxedo fragrance is just amazing! It's classy, sophisticated, and elegant. The quality is top notch, like a niche product. It has this cool and warm vibe that I love. Everyone always compliments me when I wear it, the patchouli, the spices, the vanilla oh man, it's so good! I absolutely love this scent, and it's definitely signature worthy for any classy man. A bit on the pricey side but what the hell? YOLO!
Masculine pegasus
Pegasus Exclusif has a pronounced oud note and a darker, spicier, and more woodsy smell. It has a more refined and masculine feel than the original, lacking the harsh opening and metallic edge. After Layton, it has swiftly risen to the top of my list of favorite Parfums de Marly fragrances. Given how long lasting and moderately projecting it is, I really recommend it if you are into spicy woody fragrances!
Complex masterpiece
Turath exudes an aura of opulence and Middle Eastern influences. Despite the multitude of notes present, the perfumer skillfully achieved a harmonious balance. With its fruity, spicy, sweet, and woody accords, it is simply divine. This fragrance is undeniably distinctive and far from ordinary. Its longevity is unparalleled, lasting a remarkable 12+ hours with a powerful projection for the initial 3-4 hours. Prepare to make a statement and captivate any room you enter . A personal favorite of mine, I have already indulged in my second bottle. Perfect for the fall/winter season, its intensity is unmatched.
Experimental?
Upon learning that Francis Kurkdjian was the creator of this fragrance, I had high hopes, but unfortunately, I found it disappointing. It initially gives off spicy and fresh notes, but it quickly becomes a skin scent after 30 minutes, lasting around 7 hours. Being the first mainstream designer water-based fragrance, I consider it somewhat experimental. In my view, it smells ok but is not worth the price.
