I grabbed this blind, totally tired of smelling like everyone else. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s definitely unique. At first, it smells like Le Male by JPG, but then it transforms completely. Left me speechless, but it’s rich and easy to wear. Perfect for spring and summer, day or night. Scent: 8/10 Projection: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10 Value: 5/10
Worst PDM I’ve tried so far.
Ultra-refined and classy cologne. At this price point, I’d also be eyeing the Comandante by Xerjoff.
Smells like top-quality cologne, perfect for daytime and transitional seasons. A very pleasant scent.
Smells like high-quality cologne. Perfect for shoulder seasons and daytime wear. Very pleasant scent.
At first, it reminds me of Le Male, but only for 1-2 minutes. Then Darley finds its own path. Very discreet and contained, elegant and refined. Great for intermediate seasons. There are better options in Parfums de Marly, but this isn’t bad at all.
What a surprise! I bought it blind because there were no testers in Argentina. Even though people said it smelled like JPG and Amouage’s Reflection Man, opening it revealed nothing in common. Incredible ingredient quality! Highly recommended for spring, summer, and even fall. Scent: 10, Projection: 9. Worth every dollar.
Reviewing this spring fragrance, which is very pleasant. It’s a complex and elegant Eau de Parfum: opens with lemon, bergamot, and mint, softened by rose, orange blossom, lavender, rosemary, and cinnamon. The base of sandalwood, guaiac, patchouli, amber, and tonka adds depth. Fresh, aromatic, elegant, and playful. Reminds me of Amouage’s Beloved, but less spicy and more green. Nothing like Le Male or Reflection Man. Great perfume, elegant, with good trail and 8-hour longevity. Overlooked by the community, but worth it. For springs and cool summer nights. Scent: 8.5/10, Trail: 8.5/10, Longevity: 7/10, Projection: 7.5/10.
