The story behind the bottle.
Hamid Merati-Kashani crafted Pegasus Exclusif in 2020 for Parfums de Marly, a brand known for its elegant and sophisticated compositions. This fragrance opens with the sharp freshness of cardamom and pink pepper, which immediately cuts through the air like a crisp autumn breeze. As it settles into the heart, heliotrope and bitter almond introduce a sweet yet powdery warmth that feels both comforting and slightly nostalgic. The base notes of oud and sandalwood ground this composition in earthy richness, creating an overall effect that is complex and deeply satisfying.
Apply Pegasus Exclusif in light layers — its aromatic top notes fade within an hour but give way to a warm, lingering base. Best worn during cooler hours when the woody and spicy accords can truly shine.
