by Parfums de Marly
Pegasus by Parfums de Marly is a refined, unisex gourmand fragrance built around a creamy almond-vanilla core, elevated by plush lavender, heliotrope, and a subtle metallic edge that lends it a modern, cool finish. It opens with a bright, slightly soapy citrus-almond burst, quickly settling into a smooth, powdery elegance with vanilla and sandalwood leading the dry down. While not highly dramatic or complex in evolution, its strength lies in its harmonious, well-balanced composition that feels both luxurious and inoffensive—inviting compliments and perceptible sillage without being overwhelming. Performance is consistently strong, lasting 10+ hours on skin and up to 48 hours on clothing with just a few sprays, making it ideal for cooler weather, formal occasions, or sophisticated evening wear. The fragrance leans slightly feminine but is structured in a way that suits all genders. It’s particularly well-suited for those who favor clean, sweet, and slightly floral gourmands—think styled, elegant, wearable sophistication. It's a signature scent for some, though its sweetness may fall flat for those preferring sharper, darker, or spicier fragrances. Most users report a smooth experience, praising its elegance, longevity, and projection. A few find it too sweet, powdery, or metallic, especially on warmer days, and some note discrepancies in performance across batches—some finding it weaker than expected. Its price point, though high, is often considered justified by admirers due to its performance and quality.
