Eragon

What Naxos is to A*Men Pure Havanne, Eragon is to La Nuit de l'Homme. It's an upscale, stronger, longer lasting, deeper version of LNDH using better quality ingredients. I got the rare opportunity to visit a Bloomingdale's today. I tried quite a few other frags in there and more missed the mark than hit. I knew this was a winner right from the first sniff of the atomizer. I sprayed this on paper and really enjoyed it. The opening is very sweet, spicy, and woody. It has a beautiful deep vanilla in the opening, similar to the one in Althaïr, I can smell cinnamon and a strong cardamom note. Later in the dry down, as I'm sniffing away, it started to get more and more familiar. It took me a few minute to realize what I was smelling, but I knew it was something I knew well and wore a lot, but also hadn't used in a while. A few steps outside of the store about 15 minutes and 30+ sniffs later, it hit me like lightning: La Nuit de l'Homme!! I love it! This is honestly the La Nuit flanker that fans have been begging YSL to make for years and years. I'm not happy about the price, but I am happy that someone made it. It's definitely better, stronger, more nuanced version of La Nuit, but I don't know if that's enough to warrant a purchase at the MSRP. $550 is an absolutely insane price for what is essentially a designer fragrance remix. I may pick this up once it hits discounters, if it ever drops below $275. It is by far the best take on the La Nuit DNA I have ever had the pleasure of laying my nose on. To me, it is MUCH better than 2011 vintage La Nuit, Frozen Cologne, Bleu Electriqué, but $550? Sorry, but that's still way too much. Update: I just wanted to leave a brief update that I thought was worth mentioning. I could still smell this on the paper test strip I got from Bloomingdale's over a week later. That's pretty insane performance. I doubt you would get more than 8-10 hours on skin, due to the nature of this style of fragrance, but it's guaranteed to last DAYS on clothing.

This is my favorite winter fragrance I've ever smelled and maybe tied with Imagination as my favorite scent of all time. It's a rich luxurious vanilla bean with amber, a little cinnamon, and caramelized toasted sugar. It reminds me of the smell of a beautifully aged colheita port. The mandarin and patchoulli elevate the scent, giving it some sharpness and lift. As a result, it manages to smell fresh, light and airy, which really helps it shine in cold air. There is also a pleasant leather undertone that is present and supporting but not overpowering. Overall it's just an incredibly beautiful fragrance that I think is mass appealing and very easy to wear. I would take the reviews on Eragon so far with a grain of salt. Yes it's expensive but a rating of 3.3 is in my opinion far from a fair reflection of the scent itself. Scent wise I think Eragon smells as good as, if not better than, any of the 4.3 and above rated fragrances I've tried. That all to say, as always, try it yourself and decide whether you like it. For the right person Eragon could be a great fit albeit overpriced.

PDM is one of my least favorite houses, I believe it is way overhyped and overrated. You only pay for the scent profile..Everything I tried smelled really nice at first, but they were so watered down..Didn't last at all on me. BUT I came across this in a Bloomie's and decided to try it out and I was shocked at how good it smelled and it lasted on my clothes a long time! All the notes are blended to perfection, It is sweet but not overbearing or cloying..It's a really cozy, warm sweet but masculine scent that i couldn't stop smelling on myself. The only problem was the outrageous price for it. I did not think I would ever be able to add it to my collection but come Christmas, I get a gift card and then went to test out a bunch of fragrances and the only one that really caught my eye was Eragon and I was still a couple hundred bucks short..and thought why not! I only have to pay $200..Best deal I'll ever get on it. It is easily the BEST PDM and it also beat out a ton of other Men's fragrances I've tried out.

Just because @smelly_sox says so, it doesn't mean we’re simpletons or naive! ...Or do you have some sort of credential that gives you more authority than us mere mortals? "The latest new thing"... what is that even supposed to mean? You wear a fragrance; you don't walk around with the bottle announcing, "Oh, I'm wearing ERAGON." Here’s a newsflash: nobody cares what we’re wearing. At most, if someone likes the scent, they might pay you a compliment, but that happens regardless of what you've got on. I honestly struggle to understand how someone can judge others based on their own personal tastes. You’re free to think you don't like this fragrance or that it costs too much... but that’s just “your” opinion. To me, this is a masterpiece. I don't steal my money, I earn it, and I decided to buy it because I think it’s a fantastic fragrance that is absolutely worth the sacrifice. Out of all the recent releases, *Purpose 50* aside, this is the only fragrance lately that has made me say "WOW."

So I was very hyped to hear this is like LNDLH but improved, but the reality is this is not similar to it, maybe there is some details they have in common but nah. To me this is pretty similar to Desert Suave by LLI. Now with the scent itself, this smells very good and performance is also really good. The blend is very high quality. Now the elephant in the room, the price. No perfume is worth +500€ unless its some very rare collectors item. That said, I have seen these go for around 200€ the full bottle. At that price, this is a very very solid option and you get really good value for the money. In other reviews here you can see people saying outrageous stuff, most of them are just mad that the perfume is that expensive, others are dupe warriors and some are riding the PDM hate trend. Reality is the perfume is really good in every single aspect and if you can find it for a good price then its a great alternative.

The bitterness and resentment in these comments, plus reviewers' determination to tank Eragon's rating, inspired me to write this short review. Eragon is about the tenth Marly fragrance that I've purchased, Haltane and Sedley and Layton being my favorites, and I can say with confidence that it's an exceptional, rare scent. I've worn it about five times thus far, and various female friends have said they absolutely love it. Redolessence's review is a touch hyperbolic, but he's not wrong that this is a gorgeous scent. So don't listen to the haters on here who just want to complain, and who are dumbing down this site. Yes, Eragon is expensive. So are Ferraris. Don't buy it if you don't want to. Save your whining for your therapist. Or else donate the money to your favorite charity instead, and you'll feel better and less angry.

I just want to say I got this in the mail today and I think it smells extremely good. I smelled it in the store several months ago and in this new line of three, it was more my preference. It's a citrus spicy aromatic that smells fresh and modern. Very well perfumed. I see this and smell it and find it difficult to believe someone would not like this, much less hate it. I feel sad for the database then people with a stick up their you know what downvotes it simply because they resent the cost. I got a brand new for less than half price. It smells as good as any 100ml Roja in the $300 price range(what I paid). I really think it's the cheapie clone hunters who probably need to stop being poor. Well worth the 300, imo.

Strong and fresh YSL LNDL in the opening and leathery Angels Share in the drydown. The best from the extraits line, but still not worth the asking price. In the drydown, it’s just a vanilla leather with a hint of spice. Doesn’t make me wow enough to pay $550 for it. Also, PDM's other similar scents like Herod, Layton, Althair, even Oajan are all so much more unique and better. I don't understand why pay double for a worse scent. Btw, why add artificial colorings to the juice? I don’t want to spray anything blue or red on my skin that is not blue or red naturally. Like... Why? Couldn’t you make the bottle blue and red?

I dont understand the hate towards this fragrance. Did PDM did a little too much with the price on this? Absolutely! But this doesn't change the fact that the fragrance itself is really good. Think of a mix of La Nuit De L'homme and Angel share with some added citrus on top. It projects really well off my skin and as it starts to dry down it becomes nearly addicting and alluring. I can see this being a top 3 PDM once it starts hitting discounters and people stop giving it bad reviews based on price and not smell.

This is one of the best vanillas ever. I bought a bottle because its that good. People hate it because of the price and its going to get hyped later on. It smells like a raspado de vanilla(a mexican ice vanilla slushie). Its not cloying its sweet but fresh in a pleasant way not harsh. The vanilla is different from other vanilla fragrances. Its the most realistic I feel. IBut this add cinnamon and more complex obviously. I don't smell much leather. 10/10 performance is not bad its perfect.

like a cola-ery vanilla giving similar vibes to PDM oajan and Angels share. 10/10 fragrance, I don't usually wear vanilla at all but it is very smooth and high quality in here I think the orange citrus, cinnamon and tonka bean give it the Coca Cola vibe but it is something I love so it works for me the price on the other hand, I do think at £450 it is a bit steep but nonetheless it is a very very good fragrance I do feel the same about all the others in this collection.

I simply love PdM! PdM is very very refined and high quality. Herod and Eragon are my favourite. I already own Herod and several other PdM creations for years and I just bought Eragon for the indeed steep price of 450€ but its a killer!!! I had a tester and so much people complemented just like when I wear Herod. PdM definitely my house of choice currently for high quality perfumes. PdM never fools you like Creed can do sometimes nowadays.

I found one for half price. Regardless of the haters. Honestly it's probably justified, since PDM has been a snobbish feeder of the free bottle brigade and people are tired of it. They tell them they must make a dedicated video and practically give them a script. If the influencers don't comply precisely how PDM wants, they are blacklisted. Horrible. I like the fragrances Regardless. Ill report back when my bottle comes in the mail.

I don’t normally wear vanilla fragrance, but something about the soft luxurious smell of this one really caught me off guard. I like fruity citrus type scents but wow this is so good. It has something in this vanilla that makes it soft and different from the rest. I would never like a vanilla scent, and I have tried so many, but this one dragged me in and I had to add it to the collection. 10/10

@Zircon this dummy doesn’t realize other brands like Creed and LV been high AF, PDM does it, now it’s a crime, Fukn goofy...like I said if you broke just say that and if you don’t like the brand why are you even on one of they’re fragrances profile page smh just want to be mad at something huh 🤔 kinda Sad, you should try giving yourself a hug because hating just to hate is a sickness IMO 🤷🏾

I was actually surprised how good this is, after reading the reviews. Compared to the ‘normal’ pdm’s I have, this one is way more unisex. It has also a more luxurious feel. I do like this! I have to say that I wouldn’t pay the full retail price.. but if money isn’t something you care about... this one is absolutely worth trying.

If you broke just say that...get yo money up, step yo hustle up. I’ll be damned if I waste my money on cheap clones that bottles falls apart in a couple weeks and opens with the highest concentration of alcohol...they’re no better than buying a pair of fake Jordan’s from a crackhead in a alley 🤷🏾

Long lasting leathery/cinnamon fragrance, the best of the 3 fragrances of this series. Way overpriced but people are acting like this is the Devil's work, every perfumes you are buying above 30€/$ are overpriced (except the natural ingredients like real oud wood or whale amber)...

99% of the hate is due to the price, Understandable, but the scent is gorgeous, long lasting and strong. If you can afford it, cop it. But, don’t let the review score scare you into thinking it’s bad.

Don’t be fooled by the 3.5 rating, Eragon smells and performs great. 5/5 in my book. Another pathetic example of broke haters showing up to downvote.
