The review
Strong contender. That is where Phantom Paragon lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Pegasus.
Zimaya sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Pegasus's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 per 100ml it costs 93% less than Pegasus — the cheapest of 12 twins we can price.
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 Zimaya 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
What it is chasing: bergamot, heliotrope and cumin up top, almond, jasmine and Bulgarian Rose in the middle, vanilla, sandalwood and musk underneath — the shape of Parfums de Marly Pegasus.
Top
- bergamot
- heliotrope
- cumin
Heart
- almond
- jasmine
- Bulgarian Rose
Base
- vanilla
- sandalwood
- musk
For the one who craves a soft, creamy almond-and-vanilla veil wrapped in powdery florals, a comforting semi-gourmand that feels both refined and quietly addictive.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
