That's a Tolla Pegasus!

I don't want to leave out about the scent DNA here big. I'd like to say a few words about the original Pegasus by Parfums de Marley later, perhaps in autumn, when it's more in my nose again. because it hasn't let go of me for quite some time.
And because this is the case, I have taken a closer look at this sweet and distinctive fragrance in general, and at the almond creamy Pegasus DNA in particular. Two Pegasus bottlings and one Craze bottling later, I now allow myself to make a judgment.

Now I'm coming to Potty forever!

Yes, I do. Eat well, you hear?
Craze is, to anticipate it, a successful clone, which in my opinion doesn't even try to bring something of its own into it. It captures well Pegasus' sweet vanilla aura with the metallic almond note especially in the Sillage. You only have to take a cutback in the top note, and if you sniff directly at the point of entry. Here Pegasus appears much more valuable and harmonious. Also the initial alcohol note, which is common to many clones, is of course not present in the original. Craze scores however with a similarly present fragrance tail and with, at least on my skin, higher durability. And as I said, at arm's length the two are hardly distinguishable.

IT'S GOOD NOW. Come on, close up!

Yes, what should I say, the artistic appreciation, and a closer look at the fragrance, should take place elsewhere, at Pegasus. Honor to whom honor is due.

Whoever appreciates the silver horse just as much as I do, however, will have no hesitation and no morals about the price.

Craze is a Tolla Pegasus.

Sweet and fresh vanilla & almond perfum

This scent is a good option for everyday use at everytime. It is easy to smell the vanilla, almond andbspices, and i can feel Also the piwdery vibe of the heliotrope . Ceaze has a good longevity but the projection and sillage are soft. 8 hour with a close yo skin vanilla aura. It really worths his price, more when oeople says that It is very similar to Pegasus by perfumes de Marly, qlduought i dont know if this is true cause i have never snelt that one. As being a soft and fresh scent It is suitable for summer days, even having a high dose of vanilla.

Armaf Craze

Beautiful almond and vanilla scent. I read that it's a good clone of Pegasus. Since I don't own Pegasus myself, I can't say anything about it.
A slightly sweet vanilla scent with an almost metallic almond note. It may not sound tempting, but it smells good! Wonderful scent!

An elegant and well-made perfume.

Some time ago, I had the opportunity to try "Pegasus" of Parfums de Marly, but not enough to make a review about it, although, yes, I left its mark, and I would risk to say that this Craze de Armaf is very similar, at least it is almost identical to the memory I have of "Pegasus", except for one thing, this Craze is cooler and more versatile, much easier to dress, it is as if it were the "Eau de Toilette" of "Pegasus" , and that its duration and wake are very good.

The conjunction Almond, Vanilla and Heliotrope are the protagonists of this perfume, and can be felt from the start, here, in a very subtle way, accompanying bergamot, sage and a little bit of cumin, this output is fresh and very aromatic . Then, this triad acquires prominence in its middle phase, with a few strokes of jasmine, lavender and the first pulses of sandalwood, this part is sweet, floral and delicate, a very refined aroma, extremely graceful and delicate. In its final drying, this trio protagonist loses steam and leaves the limelight to amber and sandalwood, a very comforting and sweet base, in which a vaporous almond-shaped vanilla tinkles with a small floral nuance, which is a delight and frankly beautiful.

This perfume is marked as masculine, but I see unisex traits, like the perfume in which it is inspired. A woman could carry it perfectly without any problem.

The performance is very good, in my skin lasts about 7 hours, with a moderate wake at the beginning, and progressively down to skin level, a few hours before dying fused with the skin.

As for its use, you could say that it is a perfume of temperate climates, spring and autumn would be its optimal seasons, I get the impression that the cold and excessive heat, would not get along with such a delicate aroma, although, everything is to experiment and see what happens. Its beautiful fragrance could dress equally, both day and night, in that aspect I do not think it is a perfume of difficult choice.

If we put in a shaker its price, its aroma and its performance, we would get a highly recommended cocktail for those who like this kind of delicate aromas, sweet, and why not, elegant, to me, particularly, it is a perfume that I like much.

Cuckoo

Dear committee, it speaks to you Dr. F.Lakon, a specialist in the field of unexplored
Odours.

Dear colleagues,

after years of research, I succeeded in discovering the so-called cuckoo scent.
Many studies and hundreds of laboratory tests, as well as countless hours of analysis
brought me to the conclusion that it exists.

I present the Craze.

*Cuckoo*

Yes, in his first phase he reminds a bit of Reflection Man or Le Male, doesn't he?
Come closer and marvel. I just put it on and... where's it going?
Well I have to say that it also surprised me and even if I myself
Pegasus from Marly, this seems to be a very nice fragrance.
Maybe it's caraway?
Lavender? Why this similarity to both first mentioned?

*Cuckoo*
Ah there he is again.

Now at further consideration we find that he is much easier than assumed.
Here you could quickly get the idea that this craze is unisex.

So let's have a look..........where is he again?

Well, they realize it's not that easy to grab that kind of scent.
When I got a sample at that time (many thanks to Gekko) I was positive about...*Kuckkuck*

Ah there's the sly one again.
Now you can convince yourself that it smells lightly of sage and lavender and it.................
he's gone.

Let's use the small interruption for a specific analysis.
The prelude, as well as the almost entire linear course is unobtrusive, lighter and
fresher than expected and here it comes to *Kuckuckuck*

Use quickly the possibility here again a little of that to catch,
what we were just talking about, because..........oh away isser.

So then it remains for me to say in conclusion that this game can last a few hours.
So you can say that you smell, but you don't know when.
This can be a very personal fate, which I understandably *Kuckuck*

also the oddest to be used is the amplifier.

Now he's gone.

Strong appearance

At first I thought right after spraying that I should take a little more so that it would last the whole day because it didn't seem so strong to me. So I took a few more sprayers, but I didn't exaggerate either. Behind the ears, at the neck and in the neck twice each. Then I rode my bike to the office - very comfortably and without hurry. It was cool outside, and I didn't sweat. Alone during the ride through the strong wind some of the scent molecules are already playing the flute again, but what the hell, a good scent has to endure that ;-). Arriving at the office, I made myself comfortable on my desk chair. It didn't take long, and the first question arose as to who had scented himself here, but the colleague was not in the immediate vicinity (approx. 2 away). So a good sign that the projection works very well.

Nobody has expressed himself negatively or positively, which is not necessarily bad for a men's office. Because if something smells extremely negative, or stinks as you say, then it is usually already articulated. Conversely, you will rarely hear "Mmmmh, but you smell good" from man to man. That's what the women say to the men, but since I didn't meet a colleague today, I'll test it out at a later date.

Personally, I find the fragrance very appealing and pleasant. You can wear it anytime and anywhere, and I think it will go down well with most people, whether man or woman. It still climbs into my nose after about 8 hours and still sticks well to the T-shirt. I can't see it on my forearm anymore, it's gone. I would say that it radiates a good 4-5 hours beautifully and is perceptible in the immediate vicinity (air-conditioned office). Especially the price in comparison to e.g. Marly Pegasus you can't complain here.

The Armaf niche successeful first attempt (but forget about the bottle)

If Armaf Craze is a bang on clone of Perfumes de Marly Pegasus, I must conclude that Pegasus must be a very good fragrance, as I never tried Pegasus so far.
Craze is a metrosexual manly scent ("metrosexual manly" sounds strange but it's my opinion), a bit sweet and creamy (vanilla and almond), a bit floral (heliotrope, lavender, jasmine and sage), a bit spicy (cumin) and a bit woody and resinous (sandalwood and amber drydown).
This fragrance presents an outstanding value for money. I'll explain this with my ratings:

My rates for Armaf Craze:
- Scent:.............................8.5 (my judgement, classy and hard to beat as an Sweet, Creamy, Oriental, Fougére)
- Scent Drydown:............8.5
- Longevity:......................8.0 ( > 8 hours, 3 initial sprays)
- Sillage:...........................8.0 (sillage peak at 5~6 feet, projection for > 2.5 hours, 3 sprays)
- Versatility:.....................8.5 (quite versatile, very alluring and manly)
- Wearability:...................8.5 (just avoid using it during the Summer or in very hot days; very good for the other seasons, day or night)
- Compliments................9.0 (very serious compliment grabber)
- Uniqueness:..................9.5 (not a 10 because many people say it is a clone of Pegasus but costs 7~8 times less)
- Quality:..........................9.5 (it smells very expensive and classy)
- Presentation:................2.5 (bad taste, ugly and tacky bottle; I I want to think of an example as bad as this one Armaf de la Marque Brune comes to my mind; I just have a plastic bottle of Nenuco in my drawer that I consider even less apealing than this flask)
- Price:..............................9.5 (€21,00 for 100 ml non tester + shipping)

Average: 8.18/10.00 (8,75/10,00 if I discard the presentation bad mark; one of this days Armaf will make an elegant and beautifully designed bottle; in the meantime hide the Armaf bottles in the back of your closet.)

Very good fragrance; I do recommend it; You just have to hide it in the back of your closet due to the ugliness of the tacky bottle.

PDM Pegasus true clone

this is a true clone to one of my all time favorites Parfum De Marly Pegasus, at about a 10%-20% the price! there are not many true clones of a niche house but this one is the absolute best I have seen! there is how ever a little thicker when first going on with the original the armaf craze is actually a little lighter! which some people will like. $22-$35 is well worth every cent
