Scent Journey
The opening is bright and citrus-forward, with Amalfi lemon and bitter orange lifted by pink pepper and pepper. It feels fresh, slightly sparkling, and softly spicy rather than sharp.
The heart turns drier and woodier as Virginia cedar, resin, and oak move forward. The citrus remains in the background, but the composition becomes more grounded and textured.
The base settles into amber and vetiver, giving the scent a warm, dry, slightly earthy finish. It remains moderate and close-to-skin rather than loud.
Performance Dashboard
7-9 hours on skin; some users report up to 9 hours.
Moderate projection; close-to-skin after the first hour.
Moderate sillage.

- Marketed to women but widely considered unisex
- No unique scent versus standard Eau des Merveilles
- Discontinued and collector-priced
- Moderate projection may disappoint strong-sillage fans

Price & Value
“Buy for the bottle; the juice is the standard Eau des Merveilles.”

No significant batch variations reported for the scent. Because Pegase is a limited-edition flacon of Eau des Merveilles, bottle condition, storage, and collector demand matter more than batch-to-batch scent differences.
