Craze
“Pegasus on a budget — the dupe that doesn't feel like a compromise.”
Armaf's 2014 release — an almond-heliotrope-vanilla composition that closely mirrors the Parfums de Marly Pegasus profile. Lavender in the heart settles into a sweet powdery drydown. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.
The take
What works
- ●91% accuracy to PdM Pegasus — the best Pegasus clone on the market
- ●Almond-heliotrope-vanilla signature nailed at $25
- ●Fall-and-winter wheelhouse — too heavy for summer heat
Trade-offs
- ●Bergamot opening is sharper than the more refined Pegasus
- ●Longevity falls short of the $295 original
