Pegasus Parfums de Marly for men

This appears more feminine to me than than any of the perfumes from PDM labeled as Unisex

Creamy nutty and cozy. Ideal for cold weather or cold summer days. You feel like a Vanilla latte. Thats what i get. Unisex. Its kind a soft scent, good but soft. So dont expect loud results. Definitely office safe. For me, last a good 8 hours. Similar to Guerlain L'homme Ideal (EDT) and Ferragamo Uomo. I personally like those 2 better.
(Testing is from a 1.5 ml sample atomizer from PDM)

I received this as a gift and was not a fan... tried it for several days and just couldn't find a use for it. Fast forward one full year, and suddenly I thoroughly enjoy it. It's my vacation day-time travel scent. Light enough to wear in an elevator without people sniffling, but noticeable enough for random women to tell me I smell good and ask me what I'm wearing.

8.5/10.

Vanilla with a bitter almond. Very unique so do not blindbuy.

Smells good, very interesting fragrance from PDM house, tried Layton and Pegasus Exclusif and this is more comfortable to wear any occasion.
Took me a while to appreciate Pegasus after extensive comparison to Gucci Elixir which is similar in main accords, but each are unique and different. Performance is great, about 6 to 8 hours and then disappears, I wanted something similar to my first fragrance Prada L'homme, something powdery and not heavy or cloying since I easily develop headaches, but this is soft yet masculine. Only critique is that is expensive, but this shit is damn good.

Clean vanilla, slightly balsamic is what I get from this. Smells nice and I appreciate the scent but... doesn't really wow me.

One of the most underrated fragrances of all time, yet it is so unique...

9.9/10

"Not suitable for those who like darker, more masculine fragrances." Really now? I'm a Mathilde Laurent disciple with Roadster, Pasha De Cartier Reserve, her incredible LES HEURES VOYAGEUSES OUD & SANTAL sprayed on my chest for good measure. In other words the manliest of scents. Yet I'll tell ya Pegasus is a weekly visit from me for it's luscious creamy almond vanilla nutty fruity woody (vanilla predominant) and other scents that simply have me addicted. Silage, projection, and longevity are excellent. Love the stuff!!!

i'm wearing this as a woman because my dad gave me the rest of his bottle and i love smelling like him, so comforting. this is definitely a masculine fragrance, but the right kind of woman can pull it off. it's a fresh scent but not "clean" fresh, it's complex, mysterious, and inviting

if you want the best clone of this it's most definitely Portfolio Royale Stallion.

Very soft, it's a clean and safe smell, I'd relate it to Myslf by YSL, it has that white floral and sweet softness, the lavender and metallicky smell even reminds me of sauvage, but not harsh or synthetic at all. as a man I feel it's totally wearable but it's unisex still, works as an everyday fragrance, not too sweet for the summer and not too fresh for the winter, very good but smells designer.
8/10, 6/10 considering the niche price point.

Took some time to appreciate this scent. A unique take on vanilla. 8/10

Pegasus has an incredibly boring scent to me. I mistakenly blind-bought this fragrance after seeing so many influencers in the fragrance space raving about this perfume. Despite Pegasus' outstanding blend, its scent is mild and uninspiring. For an expensive and strong fragrance, it delivers a sleek and unembellished scent. While its smoothness could be appreciated, which is certainly done in Parfum de Marly's aim to create mass-appealing fragrances, it comes off as jejune to perfume snobs like myself. It does deliver compliments, typically in the form of "smells expensive". Certainly not as entertaining to perfume lovers as other releases from the brand, and for the prices they're charging these days, I'd personally advise to look at other houses.

Vanilla almond latte, with added woodyness. It’s alright. One of the least interesting Parfum de Marlys.

7.5/10

I find most almond scents pretty annoying and this is probably the worst offender. It's sweet, but not in a nice way, it's just sticky vanilla, and something about it comes across as metallic and almost boozy. Overall it smells a bit sickly to me, especially during the opening. Dries down to a slightly more manageable soapy thing.

If you like sweet scents and almonds then this is probably fine but I'm not feeling it.

Man this is a weird fragrance. I bought this a few days ago and the first two days I used it I thought it smelled like rubber but I tried it again today and wow is it nice. A great almond/vanilla fragrance with awesome projection. I don't know why it suddenly smells so different but I can only assume the first couple sprays were stale or something. Many people dislike this fragrance but I think its really nice. While its not PDM's best, it is still top 5 for me. It is very unique and makes for an awesome fall/winter fragrance.

Price: 5.5/10 (very expensive but it is a very nice fragrance)
Longevity: 10/10 (lasts all day)
Projection: 10/10 (projects really well)
Smell: 8/10 (very unique but quite nice, sometimes it takes a little getting used to)

I have always said to myself this one will probably grow on me. Or surely it smells better in the air. But does it? There just seems to be this strong almost headache inducing stinch when smelled up close that I dislike & am afraid if I ever accidentally over sprayed it others would smell that very thing! It’s hard to explain what it is I don’t like in this one & why I feel I might could possibly give someone a headache if they were trapped in a car with me or something..I know myself & tend to over spray from time to time..It’s one thing to wear what you want and not give a damn, And another to make someone nautious lol..Again always thought it might would grow on me.. But sampled it enough over the years I don’t believe ill ever be giving it the chance.

When I first sprayed it, I was unimpressed but wow, has this one ever grown on me!

When I was a young lad, my favorite flavor of cake was an extremely niche and olden regional flavor called ‘teaberry’ which has an extremely unique and subtle minty flavor. Named after tiny pink candies sold in the 1900s. My grandma used to make me a teaberry cake every year for my birthday. You may be saying hm… mint… seems an odd flavor for a cake, and you would be right. But it’s also delicious. And it’s equally good as an ice cream flavor. If you’re ever nearby Penn State University, try a teaberry waffle cone from Meyer Dairy. All of the above foods have a lovely pink color too, I might add.

Anyway… I realized that this smells exactly the same way that the teaberry cake and teaberry ice cream of my youth tasted and smelled.

So this one, for perpetually recalling such a beautiful memory, will always have a special place in my heart.

Apart from that, after spending some time with it, I realize that this truly is a fougere. Which is not, at least to me, instantly to be expected, given the prominent cake-y accords of almond and vanilla.

This one is really a master of contradictions because In addition, despite its cake-yness…it isn’t overly sweet at all. Although it focuses on almond and vanilla, this one is distinctly masculine in my opinion.

And despite being a vanilla and almond based MEN’s scent (???) this one is fantastic in much warmer weather than you’d expect. Looking at the notes, I’d expect a winter fragrance. And I would also expect to hate it… I am absolutely not one for gourmands and sweet scents. Except this one isn’t offensive in warm spring or fall days… and I don’t hate it. I actually love it.

More than anything else with this scent, I can’t believe how much my opinion has changed in just a few wearings. That’s been true of several PdM’s for me though. This one is just a pleasure to smell. It’s like a gift every time I catch my own sillage. This one is a LOVE.

On me, it’s very similar to Man Eau Fraiche by Versace and Dior Homme Cologne. I don’t get the almond vibe. More sharp, bitey citrus. Have been wearing for around three hours and still smells very linear to those two.
Not bad but if you have either one of these, owning another is redundant

Naaaahh, this one is strange.
I dont particularly fancy the almond note here.
Definitely distinctive.

6/10

Its very different and unqiue.. its not bad but its not a people pleaser. Reminds me of hotel soap w the vanilla almond combo. 7.5/10 its different and has me smelling it constantly due to the uniqueness

Pegasus is the second Parfums de Marly fragrance that I have added to my collection and it was instant love. What attracted me initially to it was the metallic, silver, shiny bottle!

Besides the eye catching bottle, the perfume is gorgeous! That if you love a bittersweet almondy, nutty, creamy, powdery, jasmine, vanilla based scents! This is not necessarily the most mass appealing scent of PDM, it smells quite different than most of vanilla almond focused perfumes from other brands but it is great for the certain category of perfume lovers mentioned above! The only perfumes that is somewhat similar to Pegasus from what I have tried is Dent de Lait by Serge Lutens, but Pegasus is certainly more accessible and easier to like because of the addition of vanilla and amber in the base.

It has some aromatic tones from the lavender, a sparkling citrusy note of bergamot, some woods in the base and the infamous note of cumin. None of these notes are at the forefront of this scent.

I would say give Pegasus a try even if you don’t particularly enjoy cumin in fragrances. It’s not my favourite notes either…

Performs well, it’s not as strong as Carlisle is, but it’s not a weak scent. Lasts on clothing an entire day with moderate sillage.

I would say it worth getting a bottle especially if you can get it during a sale, like I did with mine! For a full size bottle, 125 ml, this is not too badly priced!

As a side note, I don’t find Pegasus a masculine scent. I personally wear it as a female and I got asked several times about what I was wearing by other ladies, so I would say it’s quite unisex.

Very Strong, Almond Vanilla Heavy, rich and creamy.

Alas I am not a heliotrope/white florals fan at all. I associate the combination with that ‘moth ball’ smell and for the life of me cant associate it with a niche sensory journey. The same is for Gucci Guilty Elixir, a recent clone of Pegasus that just goes into that florally abyss.
This leans a little more feminine to my nose.

Metallic

Pegasus is my first ever niche fragrance, it has an elegant vanilla & almond scent that you can wear on cool days and you will smell incredible.

Smells like if you were to grab a brand new freshly washed button-down shirt and smear it with vanilla and almond. Super smooth, not very complex but all of the notes come together perfectly. Lasts 8-10 hours on my skin with a moderate projection. Not every fragrance needs to be a room filler guys 😂

Worth the money if you get it at a discounted price, don't pail retail and don't bother with Armaf Craze, Pegasus is much better.

Its a very unique scent but I still love it. Smells like vanilla, almond, and white florals. There is a weird bitter note to it but it is still pleasant. My bottle and on my skin lasts an eternal amount of time.

Light, sweet and nutty. Love it, favorite PDM

All this fragrance needs is the go back to it's old 78% alchohol concentration then it will be 10/10

Just a updated givenchy pi. Glad I got a decant.

powdery, synthetic vanilla. i would not call this "creamy" or "gourmand", like several reviewers have. it feels like a soapy nutty vanilla. it only gets better as it dries down. clean.

7.5/10

At first sniff I hated Pegasus, it smelled like metal with some almond and milk, but I came around on this fragrance.
I think its not metallic as much as I previously thought, to my nose its now way more nutty and milky which I enjoy big time.
This is a scent for younger guys and women as it is not dark at all.

Moving onto the third entry in my Parfums De Marly journey, Pegasus. This one isn't talked about as much, and the times it was mentioned it didn't rank high on the list compared to other PDM fragrances. Nonetheless I saw it offered by SB so I picked up a sample. Here's how it went;

Scent:
Opening is nutty, sweet, and floral. The primary notes I get are bitter almond, vanilla, lavender, and cumin. The strongest notes are the almond and vanilla. The almond note is very soft and nutty in a gourmand way while the vanilla is very natural smelling, like a vanilla bean pod, and brings complimenting sweetness. Following is the lavender and cumin. The lavender is powdery and floral while the cumin offers a very pungent, spicy bite that contrasts well with the rest of the notes. The dry down is nutty, sweet, and powdery. The primary notes I get are bitter almond, vanilla, amber, and sandalwood. The strongest of the notes are still the almond and vanilla with the same accords from the opening. Following is the amber and sandalwood. The amber amps up the sweetness in its typical, resinous fashion while the sandalwood offers a powdery and creamy woodiness to help accentuate the other notes.

Performance:
Initial projection is strong at around 6 feet. Sillage is strong as well with an easily noticeable scent trail. After a few hours the projection was around arms length and the scent trail was still easily noticeable. At the 8 hour mark the projection was right under arms length and the scent trail was slightly noticeable. Right around the 10 hour mark is when it became a skin scent.

When to wear:
This is a fall/winter fragrance that is suitable for daytime or evening wear. This would be a safe pick for the office when used in moderation, and a great pick for a date night.

Blind buy:
If you like nutty, almond fragrances like Guerlain's L'Homme Ideal range, or you just like sweet, vanillic, gourmand fragrances this is a safe blind buy for you.

Final verdict:
This is, so far, my favorite PDM fragrance. The scent itself smells deliciously gourmand, it has respectable performance, and it's a crowd pleaser from what I've experienced. What really won me over with this one is just how unique and enjoyable the scent is. It doesn't quite smell like anything else I have in my collection. The closest would probably be my bottle of Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EDP, but Pegasus is still a much better fragrance in my opinion. I will definitely be getting a full bottle of this when I can.

Scent: 10/10
Longevity: 8/10
Sillage: 8/10

Nice creamy, nutty, vanilla fragrance. The almond and jasmine notes seem to be the star players. There's a coldness that's present throughout the whole time. However it becomes a bit too soapy and creamy for my taste but it's not offensive at all. I can see why it gets recommended as a nice beginner niche fragrance. Very pleasant .

This is a truly beautiful scent, powdery vanilla with the slight almond hint. My only gripe with this and many other PDM’s is the lack of longevity for the price. If the house didn’t offer so many almost perfect scent profiles it might put me off.

Heliotrope and bitter almond are very noticeable and give this an almond soapy vibe. You also get a hint of bergamot in the opening. The lavander gives it some freshness while the jasmine adds a light floral note. Vanilla and amber are present and the sandalwood offers a rounded out soft woodiness.

Yes it does remind of Gucci Guilty Elixir but it's not as good, Gucci is better.

This one is definitely more unisex. Think baby lotion...specifically Baby Magic if i remember correctly. Not like johnson's brand. Anyway, i like it. I'm realizing i prefer scents that lean this way, light and powdery but still masuline. I don't like overly synthetic or strong scents. I want the ladies to wanna get close without getting overwhelmed by my cologne. I also don't want to make myself sick of smelling my own scent throughout the day. If that sounds like you then you should like this one.

Oh man this is good, Upon opening it was okay, don’t remember much but the dry down is where it hit differently for me. Such a pure, clean, soapy smell, it’s flowery, sweet, soft and just gorgeous. Gives me Gucci Elixir vibes.

Got a decant of this to try out and I’m honestly pleasantly surprised by it after a few wears. A lot of the below reviews describe it as an “almond soap” scent, but I think it’s quite a bit more complex than that.

I do get the almond/vanilla notes, sure, but this is predominantly a floral scent on my skin. The heliotropes/jasmine really help give it a sort of airy and cool feeling that I’ve come to enjoy a lot (although I will admit it was sort of off-putting during my first wear).

I like this. Definitely not sure if I’d ever buy a full bottle of it, but I’ve got 5ml to go so we’ll see where I land near the end of it!

One of the best "beginner" niches. To me smells like fresh laundry with vanilla. 9/10 fragrance that all can enjoy.

Wow!, it’s really different from everything I’ve smelled so far.

The bottle and the scent itself fit really well, the smell feels “silver”, meaning the fragrance feels like coldness, class, and money.
It’s hard to pick up the notes by themselves or even describe the smell but I definitely get like a cold, creamy and powdery vanilla with an airy almost ozonic or “metallic” feel to it, it’s just sooo different from everything I’ve smelled but in a good way, this makes me feel like a king walking around his castle.

It’s a smell that sounds weird when described but when you smell it just makes sense. Definitely better than Layton in my books and in my top 3 PdM fragrances. Projects loudly and lasts a long time so it’s a plus too! (Projects like 3-4 meters and lasts 10+ hours)

Cold, royal, metallic almond/vanilla.

Very different than what I expected - I thought it would be a lot softer, sweeter but it smells like a masculine version of Hypnotic Poison. The notes of almond are sharpened and the scent is very strong, masculine. The lavender makes it a bit aromatic, a little bit more earthy. But the overall scent is very good

Peggy! pure bliss…the creamy powdery almond immersed in fresh metallicness is just something else, you can literally smell the two opposite personalities juxtaposing, i’ve never smelt anything so simple yet so interesting, intriguing and unconventionally seductive; as another review states, it is indeed a technical masterpiece. Now this is niche! smells just like the bottle looks; there is a slight sharpness to the metallicness but the creamy almond manages to round the edges so perfectly the metal never gets overwhelming

I dont remember the performance being anything special when i first got it around a year ago, but now people around me reportedly get whiffs of it for hours so im guessing maceration helped, but it is not a strong or pungent scent by nature so dont expect anhthing crazy, its meant to be modest, classy and alluring in the dry down…this is one of the scents u can never overspray, feel free to go ham and indulge. Also i wore this in the heat and it was amazing? to me its definitely an all year round/signature scent rather than just cold temp

My first ever niche fragrance, this just hits different imo. Smells like amaretto disaronno, roasted marshmallows and a subtle sweet vanilla. I have never smelt something more unique and rememberable. It's sweet but also formal, could literally wear this for work as well as going out to the bar or to the club with friends. I would go as far as to say you could wear this during the summer, in the night time (not when it's warm). Loved it so much, I ignored the price and instantly went home and ordered the 125 ml, since the boutique only had the 75ml bottle.

Not my jam. Dusty, powdery sharp smell dominates. 50% old woman smell, 50% vanilla and amber. I don't mind other powdery scents but this just smells like a 60 year olds cologne.

This scent is an artifact. Even though I have so many scents in cold weather, my hand involuntarily goes to Pegasus.

Tried it today for the first time. Its sooo good it has that magnetic seduction to it.
4 Season scent, very versatile.
Smells like heaven.
10/10

overrated asf. almond note smells more metallic and ends up making the vanilla blend just smell off. expected it to be sweeter too but really isn't and there are much better creamy fragrances with way better dry downs than pegasus. It had a good idea with the notes, but just a really poorly blended fragrance imo.

It’s such a shame because 8 years ago I loved the brand. From what I’m reading about all the scents now they don’t last now and have been reformulated.

I ordered a mini Tester and i am so glad that I did not biy a full bottle. This to me smells exactly like Fiore del Dragone from Tesori. This is like a cheap Hypnotic Poison dupe. There a two perfumes on the market actually which has been made cheap as Bubble Gum by other brands, BACCARAT ROUGE & HYPNOTIC POISON. Basically beautiful fragrances but I cannot smell these anymore due to sooo many cheap dupes.

Got a chance to put my nose to this at Saks today. I can see why this is called Pegasus! It's got this 'uplifting' to it. It's a very light, airy scent but this isn't a comment on performance. I didn't put it on my skin so I can't speak to longevity or anything. However, if it performs like other PdM frags have for me in the past, it likely falls into the 'underwhelming' category. Yes, I am biased...I like-love a lot of PdM scents but feel they are overpriced and underwhelming in terms of performance. However, I do think it would be weird for this scent to be beast mode...it's beauty mode!

I have no idea why so many people rate this 'more male' to 'male' but unisex/femme leaning is my vote. This is comparatively speaking as far as the composition, not commentary on gender or sexuality. I wear what I want...Erba Pura is rated very feminine, and I agree, but still love the stuff. I just think it's worth noting that this isn't blind-buy safe in that regard.

It's a beautiful, addictive, light, clean scent. Creamy almond-vanilla foam + fresh laundry. Like Prince's ruffled shirt grew wings and flew away before d'Hadrien got on it.

SO FUCKING GOOD 🙏🙏

Delicious powdered amaretto with a distinct talc feel, opens with a metallic touch that's not too overwhelming.
Perfect for autumn, winter, and spring, a bit too overwhelming in the hot summer months.
Lasts all day with a noticeable projection.

A really meh fragrance imo, it lasted like 2-3 hours on me and Just the first one was a good projection it went really quickly to a skin scent, it was really disapointing honestly

It smells like a fancy fabric softener, drydown goes very smooth. This screams cold spring mornings for me

So at first I was really disappointed with my 1 oz travel set.
No almond, no vanilla definitely no jasmine! Just a metallic note and sandalwood.
I put it away and listed it for sale. Every now and then I’d smell it to see if it’s growing on me.
Well today, 10 month later.
I still don’t get almond or vanilla but the amber is coming foward more.
It’s reminded me of something I love- Myrrh Imperiale Armani Prive line which is discontinued.
That one has more spice in the opening but it’s the same sticky amber.
The opening notes of cumin and heliotrope also peek out more which remind me of Gucci Eau de Parfum -which is another discontinued beauty!
Pegasus has a cool almost metallic fougere opening that moves to a very strong and buzzing amber.
Pegasus rewards my patience with an milky almond tinged amber in the deep dry down.
I might keep him after all.
Pegasus does have great projection and longevity! Even after several hand washes, he clings strongly to my hand.

Strong, and long lasting. 2 sprays on my neck gives me 10 -12 hours of projecting performance. Clean and sweet with a little bit of freshness.

I have one issue though and that's that on me at least, it smells Very much like a bar of Dove hand soap (European version). That is a fantastic scent, but i don't feel like the scent is something i'd like to smell like. I'm 100% sure this is a scent that the ladies will like, on themselves and on a man. Even a man might like this on a woman. But i don't get a "sexy" vibe from it. More a mix of "blue" fragrance and a little "sping/fall" fragrance.

The scent is of high quality with perfect blending of every note. A technical masterpiece for sure. But too soap like for my taste.

Not blind buy safe in my opinion. Too much money for a fragrance you might not want to wear. If you like Dove hand soap, you'll like the scent. If you want to wear it is up to you.

the smell of this fregrance is weird but i love it. smells like a make up room to me, powdery, sweet but not too sweet and the vanilla is like those in kids vanilla milks i loved it

Scent: 8/10
Sillage: 6/10
Longevity: 6/10
Value: 7/10

Greatest thing ever created by mankind

Great fragrance from Parfums De Marly, my fourth in the collection and man this smells awesome. Opens up pretty floral and clean, then some more of those powdery notes start coming in once it starts to dry down. About a couple hours in I was catching a very decadent and natural smelling vanilla, to die for. Some of the best vanilla I ever smelled, not synthetic smelling at all and extremely smooth. Longevity on my skin is about 8 hours then turns into a skin scent for a few more hours before it’s gone. But it never really leaves, if you smell your skin it will be there, very subtly, for what feels like forever, atleast until you shower. It’s lasted through a night of sleep on my arm. Highly Recommend if you’re looking for something unique and sexy.

This is my all time favourite, its like fine art in a bottle, the energetic sharp metallic note in the start fades to a smooth seductive vanilla almond mix. Very comforting smell, 10/10

Probably one of my favourites. Very sweet and perfect if you like a vanilla smell and almond, that gives off a comforting warm vibe!

One of my signature summer scents. Metallic, cold yet comforting with the vanilla and almond. A modern classic that is a must in my summer rotation

It is creamy, powdery, sweet and nutty, a slight metallic edge to it. I love this fragrance. Somehow reminds me of Creed Millésime Impérial due to the metallic profile I can smell.

this only lasts on me 3-4 hours and 2-3 hours of that its a skin scent. pathetic

من أروع وألأذ وأزكى عطر العطور ،، رغم أن العطر شتوي إلا أن العطر يصلح للإستخدام الربيعي وحتى الصيفي الليلي ، رائحة العطر جميلة جداً الثبات على الملابس لأكثر من 16 ساعة والفوحان قوي

This fragrance smells amazing, a nice relaxing powdery floral, with some sweetness, but I have received the reformulated batch, it is currently the worst performing fragrance I own by far. My skin chemistry usually loves florals

i really don't understand why would Parfums de Marly butcher their iconic masterpiece by replacing cumin with cypress and upping the alcohol from 80% to 83%...still I'm grateful to have experienced the original 2011 version that Mr. Hamid Merati-Kashani created.

After all Pegasus will remain mythical creature.

Pegasus by Marly, enchanting all day.
In every drop, a story untold,
A masterpiece of scent, a fragrance to behold.

I truly fell in love with this fragrance in my first sniff. My favourite perfume of all time. Few more people pointed out that this is the niche version of Prade L'homme, I have both and I can kinda confirm it but, a big BUT, Pegasus surpasses it in every way. It embodies a lovely blend of softness, a gentle powdery essence, an alluring sensuality, and a comforting warmth with a touch of spiciness. It can turn into anything depends on your mood. Definitely my go to perfume for colder days but can fit to every weather except for hot summer days. It's performance is great, I can easily carry it on me for more than 12 hours and even the people that doesn't interested in fragrances pointed out that I was smelling nice. One of the best things that I've spend my money for.

AMAZING , SEXY , Intriguing ! I love this juice , really nice and well crafted . The opening is a very metallic soapy scent given by the heliotrope but is not invasive or abrasive as a cheap fragrance , this is very well rounded. As the fragrance develops on the mid you can smell slightly the flowers in the background as a vanilla and almond bomb comes forward from the dry down. This is by no means a powdery fragrance nor musky, it is super rounded and smells super luxurious out of the shower fragrance that transforms into a nice and sweet vanilla and almonds fragrance. 10/10 in terms of quality and uniqueness but the performance on my skins sucks really bad. I get at most 5 -6 hours from this , maybe Im kind of nose blind but I really think it is my skin chemistry. It is blind buy worthy if you like almond and vanilla.

Got a tester of this.

Extremely powdery scent, reminds me a little of Prada L'homme with a bit more depth.

If you're a fan of powdery fragrances, then you will love this, but for me, I am not a fan unfortunately!

Edit: after testing again, it's fairly pleasant but not something I would wear myself as a late 20s male.

Fell in love with this at first sniff. The almond and vanilla notes are just so heavenly. I do think this should be unisex though, great for women too.

This is the handsome guy from high school that every girl fell in love with.Soft ,bit sweet bit powder,vanilla almond base,nothing ground breaking,linear but very pleasant quality.The sweeter little brother of Reflection men Amouage.
Longevity not great.Getting very soft whifs from it for few hours,,sits close to skin,even from 6 sprays.Do not over spray,will bite your throat ,is bitter sweet.

Pegasus: this is a marvelous fougere, with a surprising mix of chemical and natural elements; at the first spray it seems entirely synthetic, then the various nuances emerge, Heliotrope first and foremost, whose odor is reminiscent of almonds, invigorated by a pungent accent of cumin. From there, a delicate Bergamot introduces a spectacular and very persistent Lavender, whose sweetness and some acidulous nuances are reminiscent of cherry, the same impression already had in other creations of the house bearing the same note. In the heart of the fragrance, bitter almond also emerges, with strong hints of milky dried fruit, crossed with juicier fruity notes, such as apple and apricot, made light and airy by white flowers, which give the right elevation to the whole. After about a couple of hours here finally come out the base notes, all centered on the protagonist, sandalwood, here represented by a very good quality raw material, the characteristics of which I found dark and decisive, not soft and creamy as one would expect, making me think that for this formula the very fine aged Indian sandalwood oil was used, which has very special characteristics, stronger and opulent. In short, after smelling these Parfums de Marly I think I will have to use them as a yardstick, as far as perfume quality is concerned: they have no edginess, they are blended to perfection, they hold rare and precious olfactory treasures... They all show that they share a definite DNA. I find Pegasus to be a very successful perfume, linear, with an impeccable, almost mathematical profile. I see it as perfect for a professional, suit-and-tie, self-confident and intelligent man who does not like surprises or adventures, who proves his reliability with facts. The best perfume I will never wear.

I do really enjoy this scent, just not on me. I am surprised that it is marketed as a men’s fragrance, although I’m sure some men can pull it off. That being said, I find it to be slightly more feminine leaning side of unisex IMO.
I ended up gifting my decant to a female friend who is in love with it. She smells wonderful when I catch her wearing it. In my experience it has excellent longevity and very good projection as most of the PDM’s I’ve tried.

Despite the fact that this is marketed towards men, I find it perfectly unisex. I am a woman, and recently I've been wearing it every day. I smelled it first at a perfume shop, where the salesman didn't tell me it was a men's scent, and I only found out after by googling it.

This scent is honestly just fantastic. It's an amazing cold vanilla, with a touch of almond and a metallic opening that's a bit sharp and overpowering at first. But the dry down - wow. I can't stop sniffing this when I'm wearing it. That cool vanilla is like no other vanilla I've smelled before - pretty intoxicating. It's oddly cozy too for the fact that it is such a cool smelling scent. I do get some of the "pastries baking" feelings that other people have mentioned as well.

Having said all that, for me this is a mature scent. I wore it to a wedding recently and it was perfectly elegant and fit right in.

My boyfriend loves it on me, I love it on me. Pegasus is a totally unexpected new favourite, I can't say enough about this fragrance.

I feel like the complaint that it smells metallic is just because of the bottle design. But I was told about this apparent metallic scent prior to smelling it, so I was prepared to look for it, and then I can't pick it up at all. Reading the notes I can't even lie to myself that there is anything metallic about this thing except the bottle. It could be that the metal bottle is getting infused with the juice inside, but that is just speculation, and I find it hard to believe since why wouldn't it just be a metallic coating on the outside of the bottle? If this were the case it would be a new low for PDM. But hey, I'm willing to accept all of us get conditioned by bottle designs, like lots of people think Phantom is childish, and I even acknowledge the bottles effect in my controversial Althair review. But this time it had no effect.

Now, less yapping and to the actual scent. Heavy almond and cardamom, with a vanilla base. But I feel the floral notes blend in with the vanilla a lot. It smells like someone's grandma baking pastries, and I like that. The bitterness of it isn't anything notable to me, but for some people who really care about smelling like a man and not a weak woman or little sissy boy the bitterness is what sells it. For me it's unisex, especially grandma like, but that is good. It's mature and pleasant.
And while it does last very long, 8 hours or so, later it just turns into pure vanilla on my skin. On someone else it still had the almond after a long time, and I would be really disappointed if the bottle belonged to me.
And don't let the low summer votes fool you, these sheep just see vanilla and think NOPE! Not summer! But almonds and vanilla definitely work in more northern summer.

So in the end it may be simple and safe, but it's welcoming and mature. It smells like pastries, everyone likes that.

love it

A blend of almond, lavender, bergamot, and a subtle presence of sandalwood that leans towards a sweet, yet undeniably manly fragrance. It's tailored for someone with a gentle demeanor, friendly without an air of arrogance—optimistic without being overbearing. The type of scent that evokes thoughts of an attractive stranger whose memory lingers months later, wishing them well.

The dry down of Pegasus is truly HEAVENLY. It retains its sweetness and approachability, potentially leaning towards a unisex appeal as both men and women could comfortably wear it. It's undeniably gorgeous, yet not overtly masculine, offering a delicate balance that's versatile and alluring.

I was intrigue to know PDM house and wanted to try out all their popular line up so i get Pegasus as my first PDM.
This is the type of perfume u wear for Summer and hot weather. You can smell the sweet almond powdery vanilla with an Amber sandalwood drydown which i like.

Performance wise I'm not sure why but im just getting 4-5hours max on skin and cloth.

If anyone wants a cheaper version or dupe, go for Lelas Black, but with strong amber and sandalwood jasmine.
I wouldn't suggest a blind buy because it's not that wow or that unique unless you're getting a Decant than yes.

I had a prereform bottle of this...don't know if the few % of perfume mattered, but this literally lasted all day. It was such a nice scent when it wasn't over sprayed that I would have loved it. It opened a little strong with the bitter almond, but slowly the almond took a back seat to the vanilla and it became such a creamy wonder. But I sold it and someone else will enjoy it. I'll be purchasing Armaf Craze to see if its close enough, I wouldn't mind using a clone like that as a room scent.

I wouldn't write a long essay and bore others.All I would say is if you like smelling sweet and classy then Pegasus is the name of the game. Just go for it!

Got the PDM masculine set to try a few that I haven't yet. Reading all the notes of the various PDMs included I thought this one would be my favorite. Was very wrong, glad I didn't blind purchase this one!

The initial scent after applying can only be described as strange. Almost reminded me of Dutch licorice drops... Was dreading living with this all day on my car ride into work. But, at the time of writing this, 4-5 hours after application, I am happier with the current scent than that first hour or so. I think it was the bitter almond that was the offender at first and why people say it smells metallic. At this point it's dried down into a very slight and sweet, close in, skin scent. A little LESS BITTER almond, vanilla, sandalwood, slight tinge of floral lavender but I think most wouldn't pick up on that one. Almost verging on having a soapy undertone at this point.

Definitely better PDM scents in my opinion... but this would be good for anyone who likes a mild sweet scent that isn't totally gourmand. My two cents, Layton, Herod, Carlisle, Oajan, Althiar(?), are the best horses in the PDM stable.

If anyone in this chat has ever had to try to find the perfect fragrance( summer or winter)?!???
