Where people disagree
“I heard Craze was reformulated and performance is now poor. Can anyone with a 2020/2021 batch confirm if above is true/reccomend alternative?”
reddit post ↗“Armaf Craze - I love Pegasus, but Craze is if Pegasus was made in the crack house.”
reddit ↗“yes Pegasus by PDM and to be honest i dont like it especially during first hour or so 🙂”
reddit ↗“I love the OG Pegasus and decided to buy craze to save a few bucks. They nail the distinct almond bitter note, but it was much more nauseating and less wearable than the OG to me.”
reddit ↗“They nailed Parfums de Marly's Pegasus and also Herod (Craze and Radical Brown). I dislike them both, but they were both pretty spot on.”

Nitro BlueDumont

- Reddit consensus generally views Dumont Nitro Blue as a solid Pegasus alternative, often described as a strong performer with a similar overall vibe.
- Many note it is a sweeter, fresher take on Pegasus with added orange blossom and less of the original's metallic edge.
- Some reviewers disagree, arguing it lacks closeness and instead smells like a poorly blended mix of Pegasus with the sweet DNA of Nitro Red.
Where people agree
“Nitro Blue is a bit like Parfums de Marly Pegasus”
reddit ↗“I already have Nitro Blue (good clone of Pegasus)”
reddit post ↗“original Nitro Blue (great choice—it's often praised as a strong performer and close Pegasus dupe)”
reddit ↗“Nitro Blue(sweeter clone version of PDM Pegasus less metalic)”
reddit ↗“Dumont made a Pegasus clone and called it Nitro Blue. There is nothing blue about Pegasus. It's metallic almonds and daaaaaaaaamn good.”

Where people disagree
“Just got the Dumont and it’s not really that close to Pegasus. It has that Nitro Red/White Invictus undertone with an added woody spiciness. It’s similar to how Nitro White is basically just Red with a Honey note. This is like a mix of Red”
reddit post ↗“I have MA Perseus, Dumont Nitro Blue and Armaf Craze. They all smell exactly the same and perform the same as well. I started buying clones like crazy last year and did not do my research so I have 3 of the same scent profiles and I am not”
