What does Pegasus smell like?

Bergamot, cypress and heliotrope give it a fresh start, while lavender, jasmine and bitter almond lead the heart. In the base, amber, sandalwood and vanilla sweeten it and pull it towards a powdery, woody warmth. Gourmand and spicy touches soften the floral side.

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and summer gets the fewest votes. It is chosen most for evenings and nights out, and it also gets votes for daytime and the office. Most voters read it as masculine. Al Haramain Royale Stallion and Zimaya Phantom Paragon have a close profile.
