I want to be fair.

I would like to be fair and in the case of this fragrance, I would not like to give a rating, except for durability and sillage. My reason for this is that both "Pegasus" and "Pegasus Exclusif" do not fit into my prey scheme due to the dominant bitter almond, similar to Tom Ford FF. I have my problems with this just mentioned scent, as it is often too medicinal, synthetic and unpleasantly biting in the nose. In the conventional "Pegasus", this scent was accompanied by creamy vanilla, which made the composition as such more bearable for me. In this flanker, however, i.e. "Pegasus Exclusif", there is no such background music, which makes the bitter almond omnipresent over the whole fragrance and therefore unpleasant for me. You see already ... i am simply not receptive to this note as long as it is the pivotal point within a fragrance composition. But even if it is the centre of this new flanker from Marly, there are other ingredients that will be added over time. Guaiac wood, which has a smoky, dark character as in the "Layton Exclusif", is particularly prominent here. I also smell an animal note, which I already heard in the Layton flanker. So I guess that Cypriol is also used here, which in combination with the wood creates a sweaty scent.
So if you are looking for corners and edges, like bitter almonds or even better, you should take a closer look at this new flanker. But if you think that "Layton Exclusif" is overloaded and therefore overstraining, you might not be happy with this candidate. Those of you who are looking for something suitable for everyday use and socially acceptable for the cold days should also take a step back, because one spray from the mini-sprayer already felt like too much. Pegasus Exclusif" may not quite come close to the sillage of an "Oud Satin Mood" or a "Baccarat Rouge", but the distance to the former is by no means big. I therefore advise against a blind order and recommend to test it. If you love Pegasus and hate "Layton Exclusif" or its woody, anal smokiness, you might get a surprise in a negative sense.

You could have been so beautiful...

The fragrance has disappointed me unfortunately. Am a big fan of Pegasus, the more excited I was about the sample. The fragrance pyramid appeals to me directly: Bitter almond, amber, jasmine..
Unfortunately, it is much too sweet for me and has only minimally the special of the Pegasus... the could also pass as a "normal" designer fragrance (no offense!). But if I pay over 200€ for a fragrance and this also bears "Exclusif" in the name, I expect something more exclusivity (pun ;) ).
Sure, he is not bad, but by no means better than the "normal" Pegasus for me (and for many other Parfumos here yes probably also).

One notices at the beginning immediately a certain similarity to the Pegasus. Immediately thereafter, this somewhat too intrusive sweetness (I do not know exactly what it is) drowns out the otherwise so great fragrance... too bad actually (my wallet is happy of course^^). Performance is good and better than the normal... the only plus point for me.

Too bad.

Unfortunately lost - both against Pegasus and Layton Exclusif

With very high expectations and full of anticipation I was looking forward to this release, because I am a big fan of the house PDM, even though I unfortunately don't own a bottle yet, and have only tested numerous fillings so far, but was mostly enthusiastic about the fragrances.

But unfortunately this is not the case here, I'm disappointed with the latest release and try to explain why: In short - as already mentioned in my statement earlier today - I find the scent relatively superfluous. But why is this so and why is Layton Exclusif not? Well... exactly to this Layton Exclusif there are many parallels, you can definitely recognize a pattern here, but in the case of Pegasus Exclusif, of course subjectively felt (!), it's rather negative.

Compared to Layton, Layton Exclusif is a lot darker, more mysterious, more unique, more masculine and less mainstream (all things that I personally just like compared to Layton, and that I miss or "bother" in Layton). For me Pegasus is the better, more interesting and higher quality fragrance. The Pegasus Exclusif does combine elements from Pegasus and Layton Exclusif (not the Layton notes, of course) but I don't like the end result that much because it is, in my opinion, much too sweet and a bit boring, since the Exclusif elements are already known from Layton Exclusif and are much less powerful and much less dark in the Pegasus Exclusif. The Pegasus Exclusif is much friendlier, creamier, more pleasing and more designer than the Layton Exclusif, but it doesn't have the breathtaking individuality and transparent, slightly cool freshness of the Pegasus either, and that's why in the end it's rather boring and superfluous for me, even if it sounds nasty at first.

Pegasus Exclusif is certainly a good fragrance, which will have and find its fanbase, but I am immediately more enthusiastic about some other fragrances from the house of PDM (Layton Exclusif, Pegasus, Kalan, Herod and even Carlisle, whose first hour I do not like at all, but who then combines absolute pleasantness and an exciting roughness wonderfully and is an absolute powerhouse).

The performance of the Pegasus Exclusif is so far good (the sillage could be a bit stronger), but I have to say that Layton Exclusif, although so cute, is not as good as Layton Exclusif.

The winged horse

Hello dear perfume reader, welcome to my first review on this platform. I have tested many fragrances in the past, but somehow I have never got around to writing a comment.
What's today about? I compare the original on my left hand with the exclusive version on my right. I want to keep it short and crisp...
First impression: The Exclusif starts much fresher, more citric and with more cardamom than its predecessor, although the latter does not seem as dense or somehow more transparent. Thereby the Pegasus E. has the same "dirty" chord as the Layton Exclusif before. It somehow feels as if it was simply taken over 1:1. This changes the whole character of the original, which itself came out very clean with its jasmine note. But both lavender are cheerful, and the PdM-typical amber pudding vanilla base is very similar. Would have expected more creativity here.
To the many criticisms I can only say that the fragrance is actually not so synthetic. It does use a lot of acetates and Iso-E Super, but otherwise I smell clearly natural ingredients.

Conclusion: If the original is too friendly and simple for you, here is a more adult and spicy alternative. If I had to make a decision, I would also rather opt for the Exclusif.

After Layton Exclusif also here the better version of the original

First of all, yes, it smells like Pegasus, at least at first. So one can definitively guess which perfume will be the base. I'm glad I ordered a sample of it from the souk here.

Let's start with the scent. I think I'll compare it to Pegasus now and then, which is on my other arm right now. So here's the direct comparison:

The first time I sprayed it on, I thought I knew it. Yeah, you do Pegasus, as the name suggests. But already after a short time it was clear that this fragrance goes in a completely different direction, similar to Layton and Layton Exclusif.
Because as soon as the first fragrances have disappeared, you notice the clear difference. Where Pegasus stays more in the sweet, fresh, almost soapy note, the Exclusif immediately drifts off into a spicier, woody and vanilla note.
The vanilla is clearly to be smelled, a very pleasant note, especially in combination with the OUD, which provides here delicately in the background for a tart note and does not constitute the fragrance as with other fragrances. It supports.
I also find the bitter almond note here much better, here it's much rounder...In direct comparison I find Pegasus almost boring, so much goes on in the perfume. But actually you can't compare the two fragrances, they are too different, although I think, who likes Pegasus will love this fragrance When the top note has disappeared, the sandalwood and amber are subtly scented. Which, as in Grand Soir by Francis Kurkdjian, harmonizes perfectly with the vanilla.
Afterwards, the longer the fragrance is on the skin, the more the oud and guaiaca wood comes into its own. So yes the perfume is alive! And changes the longer you wear it, which doesn't really happen in Pegasus.
Pegasus Exclusif is a very safe perfume, which knows where it wants to go, so I would also say that this perfume is definitely a blind purchase value. It's simply round and harmonious For those who are afraid that it will be too flowery, I can take away the fear of hearing them softly in the background and take away the heavy one of vanilla and oud and give a great combination with the amber, which gives a pleasant, round note to the whole thing.

What would I say in summary?
Oud, vanilla, amber and sandalwood. You can see that the perfume is based on these 4 fragrances. They are present and with the various other notes not too present or even intrusive.
The fragrance can be worn without any problems. The sweet one doesn't go to your head either.
The occasion? I think you can wear it just like Pegasus. Office scent, it goes with everything.
