Pegasus Royal Essence by Parfums De Marly was released in 2011 as the sixth fragrance from the world-renowned perfume house, named after the famous Greek mythological creature, Pegasus - the winged horse of Zeus. A heady fougere scent that adds a touch of Equestrian royalty to the distinct masculine flavor that is exclusive to Parfums De Marly fragrances. Pegasus perfume is created with respect to tradition and suitable for the true gentleman.
Pegasus opens with the aforementioned almond note- lightly sweet, somewhat bitter, and warm, given juicy heft by a more traditionally fougere-like bergamot. The heart of the fragrance further expands on the almonds' sweet, marzipan-like depth, while an unlisted floral accord of lavender and jasmine exudes gentle, refined masculinity. In the base, vanilla is the clear star of the show, replacing a traditional fougere's mossiness with creamy warmth supplemented by amber notes, while a light, sharp sandalwood keeps everything airy enough to still earn the genre. To read the notes of Pegasus is to wonder how it earns a categorization as a men's fougere- to smell it, on the other hand, is to be so swept up in its sophistication and majesty that you've no choice but to understand.
Feel as powerful and alluring as the famed mythical creature the blend is named for. The scent is suitable for day and evening wear all year round. It always makes the wearer feel utterly unique and envelops them in an atmosphere of bygone regal celebrations. It will be especially favoured by men who like oriental fern scents with distinctive accords of vanilla and almond. All those who love truly high-end fragrances should try it if they are seeking a high level of originality and the best quality.
