Skip the Pegasus price tag. A Nitro Blue by Dumont fragrance sample gets you most of the way there.

An inspired fragrance

People who own Pegasus by Parfums de Marly keep landing on Nitro Blue as the wallet-friendly stand-in. The resemblance is real.

Nitro Blue is like a sharp, winter wind that carries the scent of a spice market on its breath, hitting you with a cold, herbaceous snap of sage and citrus. As the chill fades, it transforms into a creamy, nutty warmth that feels like wrapping yourself in a heavy wool coat while sipping a cup of spiced vanilla tea. The dry down settles into a grounded, woody earthiness that lingers with a mysterious, metallic edge, making it feel both rugged and polished. Bright citrus and herbal opening that transitions into a sweet, nutty heart. Warm, woody base with a smooth powdery finish and a hint of amber. Reach for it in fall, winter and spring.
