The Scoop
Perseus by Maison Alhambra successfully mirrors Pegasus's almond-forward aromatic composition with a nearly identical note structure across all three pyramids. The clone captures the bitter almond and cumin dryness well, though the jasmine heart tends to be slightly softer and less prominent than in the original. Longevity and sillage are comparable, making this a reliable budget alternative for those seeking Pegasus's distinctive spiced-gourmand profile.
Key Differences
The clone's jasmine note reads slightly muted and less creamy compared to the original's fuller floral expression. Base projection is marginally lighter, with vanilla taking a slightly more prominent role than the balanced amber-sandalwood in Pegasus.

What wearers say
“Great alternative to Pegasus.Craze is another Pegasus alternative but compared to Perseus (this fragrance) it’s obsolete as a clone as well. Best Pegasus clone on the market and their Carlisle (named Cassius) is another great clone.Looking forward to trying Hercules, Galatea, Leyden, and more from this line.”
“this ist exact the same as PDM Pegasus a very good clone, but very pure performance it last 2-3 hours and projection is very small, so you dont have chance with this to be that one guy in the room that smells good. On another Side with PDM Pegasus it is another music - all smells that in the room.”
“I am shocked people rate this so high. Always a chance I got a bad batch but this is one of the few blind buys I got a refund on. It smells like old play-doh but fortunately it doesn't last long. I've let it sit for months and revisited and it now it just smells like old crayons and play-doh. Usually with these cheapies I'll revert them to car air fresheners or bathroom sprays but I have no use for this scent.”
