If Athalia is the "regal queen" of the house, Pegasus Exclusif is her darker, more intense counterpart.
While the original Pegasus is famous for its bright, metallic almond and vanilla (which can sometimes smell like "root beer" or expensive shaving cream), the Exclusif version takes that DNA and drags it into the woods.
The Key Differences
The "Exclusif" label isn't just marketing; they’ve fundamentally deepened the scent by adding "darker" materials.
* Darker & Woodier: Unlike the original, this version contains Oud and Guaiac Wood. This removes the "metallic" sharpness people sometimes complain about in the original and replaces it with a smoky, earthy depth.
* Added Spice: It introduces Cardamom and Pink Pepper in the opening, making it feel more complex and "mature" right from the first spray.
* Less Sweet: While it still has vanilla, the sweetness is dialed back to make room for the woods and spices. It feels more "masculine" and serious than the original.

Performance & When to Wear
* Longevity: Exceptional. This is a "powerhouse" fragrance that will easily stay on your skin for 10–12 hours.
* Best Time: Definitely a cold-weather scent. It shines in the winter or for formal evening events. It’s likely too heavy for a hot summer day or a cramped office environment.
* The Bottle: It comes in a beautiful matte metallic bottle with dark brown/bronze tones, distinguishing it from the shiny silver of the original Pegasus.
Pro-Tip: If you found the original Pegasus too "loud" or "synthetic," you will likely prefer Exclusif. It feels more "niche" and high-end.
