What Reddit owners say
5/5“however, my favorite that he wears is pdm pegasus which is actually a scent for men, but that is a fragrance that is viewed as femme leaning on these subreddits anyhow even while being marketed as a cologne, which is actually how i found it when i was on the search for my perfect almond extract scent (ended up being bdk's velvet tonka & une nuit nomade's chemin d'amande, but i found pegasus along the way & gave it to him because that just workkkkkked with his skin chemistry, he's lucky in that way where a lot of things will pull too sharp on me)”
4/5“Aura is legit, I got my father Pegasus and within a week it was at our doorstep. Great pricing too”
5/5“hypnotic poison is a top 3 for me and i'm waiting on my pegasus decant but I'm wearing pegasus exclusif right now and I can't say I love it”
5/5“I have many others like Carlyle, Pegasus, Pegasus Exclusif, and Percival, but I love Layton, its just got this mesmerizing factor to it.”

Not rated (no clear sentiment)“But I have Layton, Herod, Pegasus, Black orchid, noir extreme, tobacco vanille, jpg (le male elixir, le male le parfum), Prada paradigme edp and probably one or two others that will be rotating as well.”

I got this Al Haramain Portfolio Royal Stallion for $29.99. It's a very clean, long lasting smoop of PDM Pegasus. No need for Pegasus.”
