Winged Horse

Name: Winged Horse Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour Winged Horse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Winged Horse opens with Bergamot, Heliotrope, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lavender, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Winged Horse carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Winged Horse chases Parfums de Marly Pegasus, keeping the creamy, marzipan-like bitter almond over a sweet vanilla-sandalwood base, but the dupe renders it flatter and skin-closer, trading the original's smooth, polished almond-vanilla depth for a simpler, more linear sweet take.

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.

About

Winged Horse opens on a powdery heliotrope and bergamot brightened by a touch of cumin, the soft, slightly nutty start that leads into Parfums de Marly Pegasus. The heart is all about that famous bitter almond, creamy and marzipan-like, rounded by lavender and a whisper of jasmine, before settling into a sweet base of vanilla, sandalwood and amber. Pegasus is the almond king, a near-linear, warm-sweet almond-and-vanilla scent with strong performance, and this budget dupe captures that gist, the creamy almond, the powdery vanilla, the cosy comforting character, while rendering everything more one-dimensional and skin-close, missing the smooth, refined depth of the original. Longevity is shorter than the original's strong wear, settling into a quieter presence sooner. It is a warm, sweet almond-vanilla scent for cooler-weather days and evenings that delivers the Pegasus mood at a fraction of the cost, even if it lacks the original's polish and staying power.
