The Boss Botteled Upgrade
The Layton - the classic from Parfums de Marly. Spicy and oriental with a very slight freshness, it comes along and really smells of what a niche perfume is all about - different from the broad mass.
The scent:
Really good! It smells spicy oriental and slightly fresh. Personally, I think he's close to the Boss Botteled, but he's one level higher. You can see it this way, as with the Reflection Man/Le Male story - he has similarities - is fundamentally different in the scent DNA though. It can be used in winter, in the evening or at night in the disco. He's nothing to me for warm days.
It smells very strange when sprayed on for the first time - so much that I almost wanted to wash it off again. But over time it has become one of my favorite fragrances.
Durability/Sillage:
Very good One of the fragrances that have really good durability! 10h are in my room with good Sillage. He's definitely present for many hours.
Flacon:
Nice! Simple and very chic - typical Parfums de Marly halt.
Conclusion:
If you like Hugo Boss - Botteled - you should definitely test it. Even if you are looking for a fragrance that you can often wear to celebrate or in winter, you should test it - of course if you want to spend the change. Layton is for me a fragrance that smells unique and lasts for a long time - hat off!

Montblanc Individuel - one of the fragrances with an extremely big difference between the batches. Be on your guard, because either you get the full load of raspberries coming out of the tumble dryer, or you get something soapy, watery, funny..
How do I know that difference? I ordered a bottling that contained an older batch - then ordered a new bottle and I immediately knew "Now it's got me". Unfortunately it was watery, soapy and it is difficult to compare these two fragrances. Too bad Too bad.
The scent:
Fruity raspberry dough mixed with something clean as you know it from clothes that come out of the tumble dryer. So he's a fruity, clean man. You can definitely compare him to Joop Homme - but it's more in the youthful category. In my opinion, this makes it very mass compatible. You can wear it anywhere, anytime. Attention: Synthetic is also unavoidable here, you can smell it too - but I think it's half as wild.
Durability/Sillage:
Good You can expect worse for the price. Lasts me a good 4 hours with decent projection, then 2-3 hours up close.
Flacon:
Anders! But nice. Can be seen and does not work for me in any case inferior.
Conclusion:
Get the older batches, because they are really good! The new batches seem to be diluted away by the bank, no comparison to the good old batches.
Otherwise: A great everyday fragrance that is always and everywhere wearable. If you don't like Joop Homme - try it anyway! This one has a Joop-Homme vibe, but is much more modern.

Life can be so simple
With Nautica Voyage. Good old Jeremy always called the AHSEE a "spray and go" fragrance. That's a 1-to-1 line for me on the Nautica Voyage. It's a fragrance you don't have to think about much - you like it or not - dot. You spray it on and feel freshly showered and you know you smell good.
The scent:
Typically aquatic-fresh with almost no fragrance. Of course a little synthetic, but my God? It's a cheap aquatic. If I had to compare him, he comes dangerously close to Invictus Aqua 2018, but for that you have to interpret something - but for me he gets close to it (I haven't smelled the listed clones yet). For me, a fragrance that always works, especially in summer. Freshly showered and simply clean. Has actually also something of shower gel with sea freshness.
Durability/Sillage:
Okay It projects well for an aquatic of this price class and lasts about 3-4 hours - after that you can only smell it up close. After 6-7 hours this is probably evaporated then nevertheless completely. However, you can also apply a little more and improve the performance a bit more
Flacon:
In my opinion very chic made with strong glass and nice blue liquid. I can be proud of myself.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for a fresh and always-goer at a very reasonable price - this is the right place for you. It doesn't smell quite as good as a Bvlgari Aqva Amara, for example, but also not as inferior as standard supermarket fragrances. If it were a bit more natural/professional (yes I know it's hard because it's an aquat) I'd rate it in a higher price range.

The best perfume in the world
This is how Jeremy titled his first own perfume and swears by himself that this perfume is the best on the market.
The scent:
As most have already said, you can clearly see the synthetic nature of this fragrance. The fragrance character is consistently fresh and slightly woody.
It can be compared to a mixture of Aventus/Bleu de Chanel/Acqua di gio. That this perfume does not smell really unique in the reverse conclusion, one can imagine then probably.
Nevertheless, I find the fragrance well implemented and now wearable for everyday use and office. Personally I would not like to pay so much money for a perfume if there are cheap alternatives.
Durability and Sillage:
Top! You don't need to say any more, I still smelled the scent on myself for about 8 hours with a (decreasing) but good sillage. The Aqva Amara from Bvlgari can be easily compared in this respect.
Flacon:
You don't have to say anything - hopefully the next one will be nicer.
Conclusion:
Good scent suitable for everyday use which remains very fresh and clean over the entire period. For me, however, not the best fragrance in the world. My alternative: Aqva Amara - is not the same fragrance character, but smells fresh all day long with a good sillage. Unfortunately, this is only difficult to get.

Metallic sweetness
To describe the fragrance with a short sentence in advance - it smells like the bottle looks, namely heavy and very metallic.
For me, the fragrance begins with the metallic sweetness of bitter almond and a few fresh notes that remain in the background throughout the fragrance. He reminds me (as one of my previous speakers already mentioned) of the - here at Parfumo not so popular - Armani Code Profumo and comes damn close to this as I think. I'm surprised that this one isn't listed as a fragrance twin. It actually reminds you of Reflection Man -> A mixture of both would describe the fragrance well.
The shelf life is very good, I actually smelled it inside myself all day long. But the Sillage is not as strong as other perfumes describe it (imagination?). It is there, but by far not room-filling.
I think the target group is very broad, I think that this fragrance can be worn by young and old. Since it is very warming, I think, one should not necessarily use it in midsummer days.
Conclusion:
Since I've only tried Pegasus and Layton from PdM so far, I can say that Pegasus is definitely a fragrance to try, as it's very pleasant, warming and sweet. Personally I can recommend to everyone to compare it before with the Armani code Profumo (price difference!), since the two come very close to each other in my opinion. However, I like to smell both scents very much.
