Parfums de Marly Pegasus Exclusif
$9.00 USD
Parfums de Marly Pegasus Exclusif is a darker, woodier, and more intense interpretation of the house's iconic almond fragrance, Pegasus. Launched in 2020 and composed by perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani, this Amber Woody Eau de Parfum significantly deepens the original's profile by adding robust layers of clean oud, smoky guaiac wood, and sharp spices. It is widely regarded as a more masculine, mature, and complex composition best suited for cool weather and evening wear.
Olfactive Profile & Notes
The fragrance maintains the signature powdery, bittersweet almond DNA of the original but wraps it in a dense, smoky, and resinous base:
- Top Notes: Cardamom, Heliotrope, Pink Pepper, and Bergamot
- Heart Notes: Bitter Almond, Lavender, Jasmine, and Geranium
- Base Notes: Vanilla, Guaiac Wood, Agarwood (Oud), Sandalwood, and Amber
The oud utilized here is clean and refined rather than animalic or "barnyard," which tempers the natural sweetness of the vanilla and almond to prevent the fragrance from turning overly cloying.
Performance & Wearability
- Season & Timing: Ideal for fall, winter, and night wear due to its heavy, warming composition.
- Longevity & Projection: Exceptional performance, frequently tracking between 12 to 16 hours of longevity with a powerful, commanding sillage.
- Vibe: Professional, elegant, and daring. Reviewers note it requires a well-groomed or dressed-up appearance to fully pull off.
