Etro Pegaso is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. Pegaso opens with Citron, Bergamot, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Iris, Pepper, and Basil, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Labdanum, and Benzoin. Etro's Pegaso carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Pegaso is a divisive, clean, and fresh summer scent, often praised for its initial aromatic zest but criticised for its weak longevity. Many find it lovely, though some are left wanting more.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh character and moderate sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear, especially in warmer weather. However, the limited longevity and projection mean it might not make a strong impression for dates or formal events, and its subtle nature isn't ideal for sport.

About

Opening with a bright burst of citron and bergamot, Pegaso immediately invigorates with a Mediterranean freshness. The heart introduces a unique herbal spicy blend of basil and a subtle, soft pepper, with iris adding a touch of creamy florality. The drydown settles into a comforting base of cedar, lending a woody structure, balanced by the balsamic warmth of labdanum and benzoin.
