Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Caught me off guard: starts floral before transforming into something sweet and woody.
Bought it after hesitating between this and Layton on my girlfriend’s advice. Smells great and evolves beautifully over time, but I feel the sillage is a bit weak for the price. Lasts well for 2-3 hours before settling into a more personal halo. I loved it so much that I now want to try the Layton Exclusif; both options seem fresher for younger people compared to other scents in the line.
It caught me off guard; it starts floral and then transforms into something sweet and woody.
I own the regular Pegasus and it’s much more potent; I just tried this one and it was almost nothing at first, but after a week I’m finally noticing it. Hard to define exactly, lasted 4 hours on skin and over 8 on clothes if I’m moving around. Hoping it improves with age. Smells rich, elegant, with almond and leather notes. Perfect for formal-casual occasions. If you can, smell it before buying because it’s worth it.
I own it, and it’s that kind of perfume with personality and character. It’s my first PDM and the one I like the most. I love its unique scent and see it as perfect for making an impression anywhere.

Good perfume, though it doesn’t quite win me over. I’d summarize it as vanilla, almond, and dark due to the oud. The quality is evident, and in my opinion, it’s ideal for mature men over 35. Only for cold days or nights. Not the best from the brand, so I’d buy it just to complete the collection or on sale. Lasts over 8 hours and projects well for 1.5 hours. Rating: 8.5/10.
After a few days of use, I’ve got a clear opinion. For those who know Pegasus, this is its younger brother: a feminine opening that quickly shifts to something less loud, more woody and dark. Starts with cardamom, heliotrope, bergamot, and bitter almond; then vanilla, oud, sandalwood, and amber enter with a touch of clean lavender, almost like talc. For me, it’s better than its older sibling, but the sillage and longevity are moderate. I like it, it’s elegant, but for the price I expected more. It’s not bad, it beats many designer scents, but I wish it lasted a week. Ideal for cool climates, nightwear, or elegant outfits. Scent: 9/10, Sillage: 7/10, Longevity: 6.5/10, Projection: 6.5/10.
At first, it reminds me of Pegasus but fresher; the heliotrope pairs perfectly with the almond, there’s cardamom and a spicy touch. The distinction between notes is very clean, creating a fresh almond scent with a hint of dissonance. I think the projection is shy, about a meter away. It reminds me of a designer brand, not what you’d expect from a niche at this price. A downside is that the cardamom stands out a lot: good quality but nothing special. The vanilla is also noticeable and pleasant. After 4 hours, the cardamom fades, leaving a sweet, creamy base of amber and sandalwood. Lasts about 7 hours. For those who enjoy designer-style scents with a quality boost, it’s not bad, usable, and pleasant. Scent: 6.6/10, Longevity: 5.9/10, Projection: 5.6/10, Emotional Impact: No, Originality: 6/10, Price: 255€/125ml, Recommendation: Moderate (if you’re a fan of Marly’s premium designer style).
