Reviewers describe the oud as clean rather than barnyard, and note that it downplays the almond just enough to stop the composition turning cloying. The common verdict is that the Exclusif feels more complete, and more masculine, than the original.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow It Differs From Pegasus\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePegasus (2011)\u003c\/strong\u003e: bergamot, heliotrope and cumin over bitter almond, lavender and jasmine, finishing on amber, vanilla and sandalwood.

Longevity is the stronger half of its performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the oud strong?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It is a clean, light agarwood that sits in the base to dry out the almond and add a woody spine. It distinguishes the Exclusif from the original without making this an oud fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I get Pegasus or Pegasus Exclusif?\u003c\/strong\u003e If you want the creamy, sweeter almond-vanilla, the 2011 original is the one. If you find that too simple or too sweet, the Exclusif adds cardamom and pink pepper on top and oud, guaiac and sandalwood underneath for a drier, darker wear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parfums de Marly","offers":[{"title":"2.5 oz \/ 75 ml Retail Bottle","offer_id":50903440720127,"sku":"PDMPEGEX75","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.2 oz \/ 125 ml Retail Bottle","offer_id":50903440752895,"sku":"3700578500342","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1mL Sample","offer_id":50903440785663,"sku":"1-0370","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5mL Sample","offer_id":50903440818431,"sku":"5T-0370","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mL Sample","offer_id":50903440851199,"sku":"10-0370","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5mL Manufacturer Sample","offer_id":50903440883967,"sku":"3700578501431","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/6854\/5535\/files\/1_eaab88f2-1b17-449b-ad50-4b73e80e36d8.png?v=1793695470","url":"https:\/\/scentverseoo.store\/products\/parfums-de-marly-pegasus-exclusif-edp","provider":"ScentVerse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
