Parfums de Marly
An Arabian will take care of its owner as no other horse will, for it has not only been raised to physical perfection, but has been instilled with a spirit of loyalty unparalleled by that of any other breed.
As one of the five primary purebred Arabian strains, the Habdan is a symbol of grace and power, a horse that has distinguished itself many times over on both the battlefield and the race track. Habdan the fragrance is similarly versatile, a wondrous swirl of thick, balsamic notes and warm spices, sweet caramel and crisp fruit, all combining to create a rich unisex scent as indulgent as a gourmand but as sexy as an oriental. Opening with a gorgeous, complex saffron stretched across regal frankincense, Habdan then moves into a heart of smoky agarwood buoyed by fragrant rose and crisp, juicy apple, leading into an extended drydown of warm amber and opoponax. Noble, elegant and majestic, Habdan is an exotic delight.

Great fragrance. Long life and classic barbershop with way more depth and complexity.
Nice!
Habdan was a let down for me. I think it's the ambergris note that is ruining it for me. It's very overpowering on my skin. Sort of a salty/leathery vibe, and I don't care much for lether notes. I can't even detect anyother individual notes over it, which is unfortunate since I love a lot of the notes that are listed in the profile (myrrh, apple, caramel, wood).
Not very unique but nice
Smells like barbershop aftershave
Great scent
I don't like it at all smells like a woman's fragrance. I don't remember adding this in my queue.
One or 2 sprays is all you need and it lasts all day long.. I get the hint of apple pie. Very strong at first but then it settles into cozy.. I don't think it smells too feminine
A nice warm and cozy type of composition. It sits a little close to my skin. I got a compliment from my wife the first time i wore it.
I really like this one. It's not quite as spicy as Herod, but it's got a creaminess to it that I really like and the drydown is quite pleasant. My wife thinks they both smell similar though so I think if I had to choose I'm going with Herod.
I love the hint of leather and the sweetness. I got hugs from different women and they all lingered a bit too long because of the scent. Smells great.
Great smell, however it smells a little to sweet and lacks spice.
Not the best scent from the PDM house but still a solid one. Has really good staying power too.
Smells very nice but to feminine for me. Did smell better after an hour, but to sweet.
Parfums de Marly did a great job w this scent. It is not a casual fragrance, it is complex and sophisticated. The smell evolves as it settles. Perfect for the fall and winter time.
Too strong
Great smell, spicy, and subtle musk.
Smelled very old. Like a 50+ year old person would wear this. Don’t recommend for someone in the 20-30 year old range like myself.
I really liked the scent. Long lasting and pleasant. My wife isnt the biggest fan so couldnt give it 5 stars.
Oriental spices with an image of Arabians riding horses. Very masculine and sharp notes.
It had a old man scent to me I didn’t care for it
I really loved this one, it has the touch of wood, light spices and sweetness yet masculine. The projection is great and also it’s performance. It really is a very sexy fragrance and I think it can work in any occasion and time of the year.
I have some exceptional feelings about this cologne. It is a perfect balance between fresh and spice. I strongly recommend this fragance and it can be used in any season. This is why De Marly has become one of the best scent houses in Europe.
This is 100% in my top 3 favorite fragrances. The beautiful Carmel covered apple scent with a sprinkle of spice is warm, sexy and amazing without being too gourmand like. When I wear it I just cant stop smelling myself. This is one of the scents that I just dont care if others like it (they do) because I love this scent regardless. It's probably better for cooler weather, but I wear it anytime.
Loved this one. Definitely PDM at its core which is great, but a slightly sweet and sometimes crisp undercurrent with rich and regal spice.
Amazing cologne. Defenitely recommend it.
This is an apple pie type fragrance. Great scent and has that PDM DNA. The big downside was this did not last on my skin at all. Was gone after 3hrs. Just didnt have staying power with my skin type. Excellent scent though
