Oajan

10/10 pretty much across the board. I have a little 1.5 ml sample, but I am going to cherish it. I decided to wear this the day after I got it, just to gauge how it would be like before it macerates. Beautiful. It opens with a very nice, spiced apple pie, almost like a refreshing apple cider. Then, at least on my skin, after 5 hours, the apple pie tones down a little, revealing a very soft, almost marshmallow fluff vanilla, and very warm, rich ambers with a nice amount of sweetness added by the tonka bean. On my skin it lasted about 14 hours, but I did take a shower near the end of it's performance, so it is entirely possible this could be extremely beast mode on my skin. Overall, great longevity, great sillage, great scent.

The simple description of this fragrance is this. Opens up with a massive dose of cinnamon. Like opening a thing of cinnamon. And yes I get a slight apple pie vibe from this but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is no apple in here because cinnamon on its own kind of smells like apple. But it may just be a personal association. I do also get a slight honeyed vibe to the cinnamon opening. Then as it settles I get a slight boozy vibe and I’m guessing that’s because of the benzoin. Then in the dry down it’s a really nice boozy vanilla tonka bean combination. Lasts around 8-9 hours which is enough for me. Projects very well and gets lots of compliments from my experience. Probably the best fragrance for super cold weather.

Oajan from Parfums de Marly is a heavily cinnamon spiced amber fragrance. The osmanthus in the fragrance provides a fruity nuance, further sweetened by honey. In the heart of the fragrance, labdanum and benzoin introduce a resinous warmth and richness to the scent profile. Patchouli, vanilla, and tonka bean round out the composition with the addition of davana for a subtle boozey essence. I must say, I found the performance to be lacking with Oajan, in comparison to other fragrances from PDM.

A great fragrance from PDM. I find it to be a great alternative to those who find Angel's Share to be a little too feminine. A good dose of cinnamon and honey, but not in a screechy way. And the Osmanthus gives it something that the Angel's Share line doesn't have. Great for fall and winter, and in my opinion, if sprayed lightly, can be used on spring and summer night's as well. This comes in at number three for me in the line from PDM, following Layton and Pegasus Exclusif.

This smells like the most delicious apple pie, like something straight out of a Disney cartoon. It is so delicious and unbelievably good. It’s strong but it won’t give you a headache, it’s long lasting and I just can’t find an issue with it. All the notes smell really high quality, it is perfectly blended. 10/10, I love this.
