Back to 2017 & the beginings of my second favourite line, Stonger With You. Best described as comfort in a bottle, this is my fourth from the line. It might be an edt,but it certainly holds its own, & you can clearly see the dna that gave birth to a host of beautiful warm & cozy fragrances, each one with their own distinctive twist. This one came from perfumer Cecile Matton. It opens up with a spicy kick of pink pepper, cardamom & violet leaves. The pink pepper, which im a sucker for, provides a subtle freshness, while the cardamom adds a warm, inviting spice. As it settles, the heart reveals notes of sage, lavender & that beautiful cinnamon. Sage gives it an aromatic & slightly earthy quality, balancing the sweetness. Cinnamon adds further warmth. But as always,its the dry down iwhere the gourmand really shine. That amazing chestnut accord, vanilla, cedarwood essence & amberwood. Performance aint gonna be beastly like its siblings, your looking at about 6 to 8hrs, which for an edt is really good. Projection will see you right for at least the first two hours, before it gently starts to fade. Whilst generally best suited to the cooler days and more of a night time/event fragrance, the fact that its edt quality, you could potentially expand its use outside the normal range of wear, I know I will.

Yesterday was Galatea, so I’m sticking with the Maison Alhambra line today and reaching for Perseus. I know the community has moved a lot of its attention toward Pegasus Exclusif lately, and sometimes the original DNA gets overlooked, but let’s not forget: the OG Pegasus was a PDM best-seller for a reason! Perseus does a fantastic job of capturing that metallic, creamy, almond-heavy profile. It’s clean, it’s professional, and it has that unique "silver" vibe that stands out in a sea of blue fragrances. My Take: That signature bitter almond and vanilla combo is dialed in perfectly here. While I really like the Exclusif flanker for its added depth and woodiness, there is still something so smooth and addicting about this original DNA. It’s a classic for a reason. For the price Maison Alhambra is asking, the performance on this is hard to argue with. How do you guys feel about the Pegasus DNA in 2025? Are you still rocking the OG/Perseus, or have you moved completely over to the Exclusif side of things?
