The review
On paper, Perseus Exclusif is a strong bet if you want Pegasus Exclusif for less.
Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Pegasus Exclusif's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $40 it costs 89% less than Pegasus Exclusif.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot and almond, turns to bitter almond, heliotrope and jasmine, and settles into vanilla, Tonka Bean and sandalwood. That is the brief Perseus Exclusif is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- almond
Heart
- bitter almond
- heliotrope
- jasmine
Base
- vanilla
- Tonka Bean
- sandalwood
A decadent almond-heliotrope-and-vanilla gourmand, warmer and creamier than the original Pegasus.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
