An elegant almond-driven fougère with a polished glow, Parfums de Marly Pegasus opens with brisk bergamot and airy heliotrope lifted by a discreet touch of cumin, then glides into a suave heart of bitter almond, lavender, and jasmine that feels both clean and decadent. As it settles, creamy vanilla, smooth sandalwood, and amber lend a plush, confident trail that remains refined yet undeniably distinctive on skin.

Story and Positioning
Named for the mythical winged horse, Pegasus channels Parfums de Marly’s equestrian inspiration into a modern fougère that marries aromatic freshness with a gourmand almond and vanilla signature. It reads suave and urbane for evening wear and special occasions, yet remains versatile for smart daytime settings. Within the broader line, it is the house’s almond icon, later complemented by Pegasus Exclusif for a deeper twist. Shoppers who enjoy creamy almond and vanilla accords adore Pegasus, making it a benchmark reference for this style in the niche category.
Bottle and Design
Presented in the brand’s sculpted flacon finished in a mirror-like silver tone, the bottle features the raised twin horse emblem and a weighty cap that closes with a satisfying click. The reflective surface, crisp plaque, and substantial glass communicate luxury and presence while looking striking on the dresser.
