Scent Profile

Composition

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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Rich almond, creamy vanilla, and warm powdery notes make Pegasus shine in cooler months, especially fall and winter. Its density can feel cloying in heat but is uplifting in early spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its opulent sweetness and assertive projection make it ideal for dates and nights out, but it risks overpowering in close office or sporty settings. Works well for formal events that call for a unique, memorable scent.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pegasus opens with a unique rush of powdery heliotrope and bitter almond, quickly enveloping the wearer in a velvety, gourmand embrace. A heart of creamy almond and soothing lavender is joined by subtle floral nuances, while the base is dominated by lush vanilla, warm amber, and softly milky woods. This blend feels both refined and indulgent, projecting confidence and luxury. The result is a scent that is simultaneously comforting and attention grabbing, leaving a memorable, creamy trail.
