    What do reviewers say about Perseus and Pegasus?

    Close enough to Pegasus that you'll forget why it matters. Perseus doesn't try to one-up the original, it just makes you wonder why the original costs that much.Perseus
    Parfums de Marly makes fragrances that arrive before you do. Pegasus is no exception, the sweetness is confident, not pandering. If you want something that whispers, look elsewhere.Pegasus
