Parfums de Marly Pegasus Exclusif Eau de Parfum is an intense, refined, and sophisticated fragrance, introduced as a more luxurious and concentrated version of the original Pegasus. Released in 2015, Pegasus Exclusif enhances the complexity of the original with deeper, richer notes, creating a fragrance that is both warm and opulent. This fragrance is designed for men who enjoy bold, yet elegant scents with an unmistakable character that lingers.
Top Notes:
Bergamot
Almond
Licorice
The fragrance opens with an invigorating burst of bergamot, a citrus note that provides a fresh, zesty introduction. The almond continues the sweet, creamy opening with its rich, nutty, and slightly powdery character, much like the original Pegasus. However, in Pegasus Exclusif, the almond is more pronounced, adding a deeper level of warmth. Licorice adds a unique, slightly sweet, and aromatic aspect to the top, giving the fragrance an intriguing, spicy complexity that distinguishes it from the original.
Heart Notes:
Jasmine
Spices
Hawthorn
The heart of Pegasus Exclusif is enriched with floral and spicy notes. Jasmine brings an elegant, sweet, and slightly exotic floral note, contributing a refined and feminine touch to the fragrance. The spices in the heart (likely saffron or cinnamon) add warmth and depth, intensifying the fragrance’s complexity. Hawthorn contributes a green, slightly fruity, and woody element, adding balance and enhancing the fragrance's overall depth.
Base Notes:
Vanilla
Sandalwood
Amber
Cashmeran
Tonka Bean
The base of Pegasus Exclusif is rich, warm, and sensual. Vanilla provides a creamy, sweet warmth that softens the fragrance and adds a sense of smoothness. Sandalwood contributes a creamy, woody richness that gives structure and elegance to the base. Amber adds depth and warmth with its resinous, golden quality, making the fragrance more enveloping. Tonka bean brings a sweet, nutty aroma with hints of vanilla, enhancing the fragrance's warm, creamy character. Cashmeran, a musky and woody note, adds an almost ethereal softness to the base, making it feel luxurious and long-lasting.
Overall Impression:
Parfums de Marly Pegasus Exclusif Eau de Parfum is a richer, more intense version of the original Pegasus, offering a warm, sweet, and slightly spicy scent that is both elegant and bold. The opening is fresh with citrus and almond, but it quickly becomes more complex and deeper with the addition of licorice and spices. The heart remains floral and spicy, but the richness of the base notes, including vanilla, amber, and sandalwood, gives the fragrance a warm and sensual finish that lingers beautifully.
Pegasus Exclusif is ideal for those who appreciate luxurious, opulent scents with depth and complexity. It is perfect for colder weather, special occasions, or evening wear, and is a fragrance that makes a bold statement with its unique blend of sweet, spicy, and woody notes.
