Supremacy Not Only Intense vs Pegasus
Afnan vs Parfums de Marly
Afnan's Supremacy Not Only Intense is widely known as a clone of Parfums de Marly Pegasus, so the obvious question is whether the $20 bottle is close enough to skip the $300 splurge.

The Verdict
If you just want the vibe — creamy sandalwood, powdery heliotrope, soft vanilla — the Afnan gets you 80% of the way there for a fraction of the cost, making it a no-brainer for casual wear or testing the waters. But Pegasus wins on refinement, longevity, and that intangible smoothness that justifies the price for special occasions or fragrance enthusiasts who'll notice the difference. Buy the Afnan first; upgrade to Pegasus only if it leaves you wanting more.
