Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Craze Noir Eau de Parfum
This one's a head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a dead ringer for Pegasus, while others smell Lacoste Noir - or nothing much at all. What everyone agrees on is that it's strong and a bit of a bargain, making it a safe blind buy for those who like a gamble.

Our Verdict - Portfolio Royale Stallion Eau de Parfum
A Polarisable but mostly adored take on the PDM Pegasus DNA. Brace yourself for a powerful, slightly synthetic opening, but don't rush to scrub it off - the dry down is where this almond-vanilla bomb truly shines.

Its potent projection and longevity, as often noted, make it less suitable for an office environment unless applied sparingly. However, its clean, warm profile shines on dates, evenings, and casual outings, offering a sophisticated yet inviting aura. It's a bit too dark and heavy for sports.
