Solid Foundation
First of all, I have to give a big shout-out to the line. I have already been absolutely impressed by Galatea and "Hercules | Maison Alhambra." The Perseus also knows how to convince. Now, after a few weeks of testing, I am writing down my impressions of this one as well.

Since I still had a decant of its predecessor, "Pegasus | Parfums de Marly," I was able to make a direct comparison. Let me put it this way: although the creaminess of the vanilla from the OG is not entirely captured, the rest is really exceptionally well done. The metallic almond is very well executed, and the warming base captures the spirit of its predecessor surprisingly well. So well, in fact, that it makes the OG unnecessary for me. I believe the negative reviews come more from the fact that this DNA does not appeal to everyone and less from it being poorly made. At least, that’s my impression. A lovely scent for the colder days, although I have also enjoyed wearing it in the sunshine.

The sillage and longevity are really good, and you can easily get through the workday without any problems. My nice colleague, who shares my passion for perfumes, even mentioned that it is quite enveloping. Since I don’t perceive it as strongly myself, I have given it a solid 7 with a star.

Conclusion: It’s better to test it and see if the DNA suits you; then you really get a lot for your money.

Disgustingly Puffed-Up Scent
First of all: I have various Maison Alhambra fragrances and find one better than the other. Especially the Jean Lowe scents are fantastic. The Perseus, however, smells terrible. Downright disgustingly sweet. Too much of everything. No idea if the OG smells like this too. Horrific. Absolutely a puffed-up headache scent. In the 90s, my makeup-caked teacher Mrs. Thieme smelled like this. I will probably have to put it in the special case. PS. The bottle is nice.

Almonds, metallic, sweet, fresh, Soapy. Like a hot date in a hotel room where the lady showered with Almond lotion. Ladies love this 8/10 Lasts Long

Opinions are already divided on the original.
Metallic-creamy almond coat.
Close enough to the original to make me happy.

Pegasus with a strong cool metallic note, while the vanilla is less pronounced. Overall, a fantastic replica!

Less creamy than the original. Metallic almond but the vanilla is a bit disappointing. Still, you can't go wrong with this line.

Bad reviews are hard to understand. Great scent, very close to the OG and loved by those around me.

The mistake all the dupes make is that they overdo the metallic note and forget the vanilla. Oh, the vanilla... :((((

Starts off great with caramel and almonds. But then it quickly shifts to lavender and cumin. Challenging!

Either you love the scent profile of metallic, creamy almond, or you hate it. I love it. Very close to the original - still doesn't change anything ;-)

Good alternative, but unfortunately a bit too alcoholic. It gets better over time, but still more of a headache candidate for me.

Synthetic bitter almond in a metal bottle (it's great). H/S is rather nuclear. Unfortunately, not really my thing. Everything feels a bit too artificially exaggerated.
