Sillage
The clone performs adequately for the price point but lacks the sophisticated blending and lasting power of Pegasus by Parfums de Marly. Sillage is noticeably more intimate, making it better suited for office wear than the original's versatile performance.

Royal Stallion projects slightly less intensely than Pegasus and has a marginally sweeter vanilla note that softens the composition's edge. The longevity is respectable but falls short of Pegasus's exceptional lasting power by approximately 2-3 hours.

Al Haramain's version tends to be slightly more linear and less sophisticated in its development, with the sweet almond and vanilla elements potentially more forward-leaning. The base may not project as long or as impressively as the original Pegasus.
