The composition
Pink pepper and cardamom open Pegasus Exclusif, with almond close behind, soft and faintly bitter. Lavender and geranium give the heart an aromatic, gently floral lift. Vanilla gathers as it dries down, resting on smooth guaiac wood and a quiet thread of oud.
Where the original Pegasus is airy and sweet, this one is drier and woodier, the same tailoring in a heavier cloth. A natural pick for cool evenings, and for anyone who loves almond and vanilla in a darker frame.
What wearers say
- Wearers most often praise it as a darker, woodier take on the original Pegasus, keeping the almond and vanilla while cardamom and soft woods smooth them out.
- The main complaint is the almond: a minority find it bitter, metallic or too dominant, and a few find the smoky woods medicinal.
- Many describe the oud as soft and well blended rather than animalic, sitting beneath a powdery vanilla drydown.
- Longevity and projection reports vary widely: many describe strong, lasting wear, while others find it settles close to the skin early on.
- Most wear it in fall and winter, often in the evening, and several reach for it at the office on colder days.
Summarized by Cabinet Noir from public reviews on Fragrantica and Basenotes, checked 10 October 2026.
Compared with
- PegasusParfums de Marly
- The original is airier and sweeter, built on heliotrope, almond and vanilla. Pegasus Exclusif adds cardamom, pink pepper and oud, so it reads drier, smokier and woodier, with the almond softer and less sharp.
- Layton ExclusifParfums de Marly
- Its sibling in the Exclusif line shares a similar woody, oud-lined base. Layton Exclusif is greener and sharper at the start and spicier with patchouli later, while Pegasus Exclusif stays powdery, centered on almond and vanilla.
- Interlude ManAmouage
- Wearers often mention Interlude Man when describing the smoky woods here. Interlude Man is denser, with incense and resins at its core; Pegasus Exclusif is sweeter and softer, with almond and vanilla leading.

Questions about Pegasus Exclusif
Is Pegasus Exclusif the same as Pegasus?
No. Pegasus Exclusif is a separate Parfums de Marly fragrance, released in 2020 as a richer version of the original Pegasus. It keeps the almond and vanilla, then adds cardamom, pink pepper, guaiac wood and oud for a darker, woodier result.
Is Pegasus Exclusif an Eau de Parfum or a Parfum?
Parfums de Marly sells Pegasus Exclusif as a Parfum, the concentration of its Exclusif line. Some retailers and decanters label it Eau de Parfum, but the house's own page and US department stores such as Neiman Marcus list it as a Parfum.
Is Pegasus Exclusif still made, and where is the full bottle sold?
Yes. Pegasus Exclusif is part of Parfums de Marly's current range. The house sells it in its own boutiques and online in Europe, and in the US through department stores including Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale's.
Is Pegasus Exclusif for men?
Parfums de Marly presents Pegasus Exclusif as a masculine fragrance, and Fragrantica lists it for men. Its almond, vanilla and powdery woods are not tied to a gender, so anyone drawn to that profile can wear Pegasus Exclusif.
