Pegasus Exclusif
Almond is what people remember about Pegasus Exclusif Parfum 125ml, and it turns up early, wrapped in pink pepper and cardamom so the first minutes are nutty and gently spiced at once. Lavender comes next and it is the hinge of the whole thing, cool and clean where the almond is rich, with orange blossom and geranium stopping it from going starchy. Then the lower half opens and stays open. Vanilla carries the almond on towards marzipan, ambroxan lends the clean mineral warmth that reads as freshly laundered skin, and oud and guaiac wood sit beneath both of them, dry and a little smoky, so nothing ever tips over into dessert. Hamid Merati Kashani composed it for release in 2020, and the Exclusif is the richest way the house sells this idea.
Parfum strength means a high oil load, and that is the reason to choose this over something lighter: two sprays will see out a working day and the evening after it. Put some on a shirt as well as on skin and give it ten minutes before you decide. Autumn and winter suit it, evenings more than mornings, and although it is pitched at men the almond and lavender read perfectly well on anyone. A 125ml bottle at 370.50 euro is a long commitment, so buy it knowing you like almond.
Parfums de Marly was founded in 2009 by Julien Sprecher and is still run from Paris. The crests, the horses and the courtly names are drawn from eighteenth century France and from the Chateau de Marly, whose rearing stone horses were commissioned by Louis XV, and the house is straightforward about this being a source of imagery rather than a family line; it says plainly that it was born in 2009. Delina, Layton, Valaya, Althair and Haltane are the names it is best known for. Advent International took a majority stake in the parent company in 2023.
