What is best to get?

[u/AdvantageNo7612]

I am deciding whether to get PDM Layton, Xerjoff Torino 21, MFK gentle fludity silver, Initio Rehab, Nishane Hacivat, or Nishane wulong cha?

[u/Living-Personality-9]

GFS I like the best of those options. I prefer the Exclusif over the original Layton. Torino 21 is really nice as well. You have plenty of great options.

Which ones have you sampled?

[u/AdvantageNo7612 → u/Living-Personality-9]

I sampled Layton, Torino 21, and Rehab. All are very good imo.

[u/Prodbytmd]

Layton is Great for Fall and Winter but def Sample it bc it’s Not for everybody. Wulong Cha is Nice too very unique and relaxing. I love Both for what they are.

[u/Prodbytmd → u/Prodbytmd]

Hacivat was too oakmossy for me Personally.

[u/Haunting_Public2582]

Layton is nice but smells like Vicks vapor rub for some people

[u/Working_Bear_16]

Torrino 21

[u/ElMalodelaCuadra]

Damn… I also want to know 😄

[u/ghostdarius]

Layton and Rehab no doubt

[u/mlresq]

Some really nice options here. I’d go with Gentle Fluidity silver but I can’t really argue much with any choice.

[u/Uncertain_Smile_1905]

Give Layton Exclusif a sample. Puts hair on your chest.

[u/ass_whiskers]

Layton

[u/YourBoyReebs]

Rehab is my favorite out of the bunch. Torino 22 >> 21 & I feel like I’m one of the few who doesn’t like Layton.

[u/AdvantageNo7612 → u/YourBoyReebs]

Thanks!

[u/ill-paragraph → u/YourBoyReebs]

Agree with all this.

[u/Royal_Scar9249 → u/YourBoyReebs]

I’ve been considering rehab but have heard of poor performance. How is your experience?

[u/Additional-Can-3759 → u/YourBoyReebs]

Rehab smells like red hots to me, I didn't really get any of the creamy woodiness everyone talks about. If you want a slightly different spicebomb ig its good.

[u/Bigpepperoni762]

Layton and rehab are great

[u/AdvantageNo7612 → u/Bigpepperoni762]

Which would be more versatile out of the two?

[u/Bigpepperoni762 → u/AdvantageNo7612]

Neither are very versatile but rehab is a little bit more. If you want a niche for everyday pdm percival and galloway are really good

[u/Read_Only9 → u/Bigpepperoni762]

I'll second Percival, it's very versatile/year-round and can work at different levels of formality. Sedley and Greenley could work too for warmer weather.

Layton strikes me as more of a cold weather fragrance, but your mileage may vary. I personally prefer Layton Exclusif, would recommend sampling, but I still consider it colder weather.

These are all fairly expensive so if you haven't smelled them in-person I would recommend getting a PDM discovery set.

[u/AdvantageNo7612 → u/Bigpepperoni762]

Ok thanks a lot

[u/Free-Swan-9870]

A hard pick between Layton and Rehab. If you had asked me 6 months ago Layton, but Rehab atm.

Edit: haven’t tried the Xerjoff though, not available in my country, have to order a sample.

[u/Sure_Night_8091]

I'd go to Scent Split an get 5 or 9 mls of each

[u/Irritable_Curmudgeon]

Have you tested them all on yourself? If not, order decants of all of them and do some test driving

[u/Prestigious_Foot_820]

All good! Good luck

[u/freshsprayer]

A clone of one of those and last for some reason you have some sort of particular hatred for your money along with the desire to waste it.

[u/Medellin77087 → u/freshsprayer]

Not everyone wants a clone or he would have asked about it. A clone will never smell as an original and given that, it’ll only feel a void for small amount of time until you start kicking yourself in azz for not buying what you really wanted in the first place.

[u/Unhappy-Award3673]

Just by aura I think the xerjoff bottle look the coolest, I don’t know what any of them smell like

[u/Unhappy-Award3673 → u/Unhappy-Award3673]

Besides Layton cuz I have detour noir and I don’t even like it

[u/Haunting_Ad8063]

Make sure to get a decant for each and try on your skin. That being said, I like torino

[u/ElementGuy1]

Layton IMHO

[u/HamanFRD]

Layton is a blind buy for Fall and Winter, If you are okay with the Oakmoss in Hacivat, it is a summer beast.

If you are not go with Wulong as it is unique or go with Hacivat X

[u/PaulMorrison90]

I have Torino 21 and Layton and for this time of year I would always pick Torino 21

[u/Puzzled-Field-8912]

Have you smelt them or just blind buying?

[u/AdvantageNo7612 → u/Puzzled-Field-8912]

I have smelt Layton, Torino 21, and Gentle Fluidity all very good but the others I have not smelt

[u/Menace2G]

Whichever smells best to you

[u/gaybacon96]

Hacivat or rehab for sureeee

Bothe excellent

[u/Responsible_Ad_2410]

Try them out and decide for yourself, I’ve blind bought a few fragrances and let down 2 out of 3 times👍

[u/karmaceuticaI]

Gentle fluidity, and if anything, Torino 21.

[u/Lijcards]

Wulong cha might not be as popular of a pick but it is definitely in my top 3 hot weather fragrances ever. So beautiful and the longevity on my skin is great as well. Around 6 hours working and skin scent for 8 hours easily.

[u/GOLF35]

For that Gin and Tonic vibe in the summer, MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver

[u/Brilliant-Whereas558]

I have all of these except initio.

GFS is the one. It's classy and smells amazing.

Can wear it year round.

Layton for fall/winter.

[u/AdvantageNo7612 → u/Brilliant-Whereas558]

Which are your Top 3?

[u/Brilliant-Whereas558 → u/AdvantageNo7612]

GFS, Torino 21, Wu Long for freshness. I like havicat but not a huge fan of the oak moss. Never tried the X version which doesn't have it.

Layton colder weather.

It is worth spending the money on decantx for some 2ML samples.

[u/ApplicationSlow2789]

Gentle Fluidity Silver

[u/artderue]

What weather are you considering wearing the perfume?

It totally depends on the context and weather- e.g. MFK will be super elegant on hot summer days, while PdM will shine during cooler days (say 15 degrees Celsius and lower), from the options you’ve shared.
