Pegasus
Pegasus by Parfums de Marly is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2011 in the luxury price tier. It opens with almond and bergamot, moves into heliotrope, lavender and jasmine and dries down to vanilla, sandalwood and amber. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
