Armaf Craze is a highly regarded clone of Parfums de Marly Pegasus, with the majority of users praising it as indistinguishable from the original in scent profile. The fragrance opens with a sharp, synthetic burst of almond and vanilla, which can be overwhelming initially, but settles into a smooth, creamy almond-vanilla-bitter almond base with subtle floral and earthy notes. Its performance is consistently high, with longevity spanning 7 to 12 hours on skin and even longer on clothing, making it a standout value. The projection is moderate to strong, particularly in cooler settings like winter or fall, creating a noticeable and long-lasting sillage. It’s unisex in appeal, though leans slightly masculine due to the cumin note, and is best suited for evening wear or cold-weather occasions. Despite high praise for its performance and scent authenticity, a few users report discomfort due to the early sharpness, metallic notes, or synthetic feel, which can trigger headaches or nausea. Overall, it is widely seen as an exceptional budget option for fans of Pegasus or gourmand-scents with a metallic, creamy profile.
