Craze

Smells like cinnamon bubblegum in a lavender field - divine heavenly scent. Powerful and so cheap - buy it.

If you're obsessed with Gucci, Prada, or Chanel bags – babe, step away from the boutiques! Go straight to Turkey instead. Why waste money? Oh, and you absolutely must wear this perfume. Let them know who the real queen is.

If you like De Marly Pegasus you will love this. Don’t buy it as a gift because bottle is really cheap looking and plastic will crack. Value for money - Best You will get compliments by wearing it.

It smells amazing but doesn’t have presence. My skin chemistry don’t seem to keep but my wife loved the smell but even she wore it out and had to spray 10+ times (on her and clothes) to have it leave a scent bubble.

A gorgeous unusual sweet spicy long lasting fragrance. The quality and value puts niche fragrances to Shame. I’m done with over priced fragrances thanks to this company This scent is everything you could want for practically nothing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Smells like root beer.

I used a full bottle where the sprayer tube broke off inside the bottle, and I had to spray it holding it upside down. So its at least that good. Sweet vanilla almonds that ends up as a woody nutty scent that lingers. Its nice, but not spectacular. Easy to wear, not interesting enough for date nights nor to stand out.

To me starts off kinda harsh (not in a very synthetic way like others have reported but just in a strong and overpowering blast of almond and vanilla with some freash, slightly spicy, clean, and powdery nuances), however, as it drys down it reminds me more of Pegasus though I have only sampled in stores mainly. Still for the price id say its pretty good. Once you get past the first 15-30 min of the opening then I'd say if you love almond and vanilla heavy scents its hard not to like. Ofc its worth noting that I just sprayed and wore for the first time today so it may get a little smoother as it sits as I've noticed with other dupes similar. So far though longevity is a 7 or 8 out of 10, definitely lasts on my skin, sillage moderate-strong. Might be a sig scent for me since I def feel like this can be wearable all year round like I feel like the original PDM can and its dirt cheap so can always keep in my stash.

Its Dr Pepper at first spray. Then it dries down to a vanillic fragrance. Smells really good. Unfortunatley, at some points the note mix can come off as BO which kinda sucks.

I bought a bottle of this very early in my fragrance journey, when I was buying a lot of Armaf and other clones. I never wore it much, too sweet I think. I don't know from Pegasus, but to me this smells like straight up root beer, as others have noted.

Came back to it after two years or so from initial use. Nice. Good quality scent. Unlike some of the reviews I'm reading, not powdery. And not soapy. With descent performance.

Pegasus? Pegasus. Root beer? Root beer Pegasus. My mom likes it a lot. 7/10

Craze opens with heliotrope giving a powdery, slightly sweet floral tone while cumin adds a faint spicy edge that can catch you off guard. Bergamot gives a quick flash of brightness but mostly just lifts the heavier notes underneath. The heart is where it shines. Bitter almond comes through creamy and nutty, blended with vanilla and lavender for a smooth, dessert-like sweetness. It is rich but not cloying, with a mix of florals and almond that feels refined, almost barbershop meets pastry. There is a quiet elegance here that sets it apart from louder mass-appeal scents. The dry down is soft and inviting with vanilla and amber leading, while sandalwood adds a creamy woodiness that keeps the sweetness from feeling simple. It is warm, slightly powdery, and comforting. Craze feels mature and refined more than playful or casual. It is not something for hot summer days or a gym run. It works better in cooler weather, evenings out, or when you want to project confidence with a touch of old-school charm. Bold in its own way but polished and sophisticated.

I don’t think this is as fresh as Pegasus. This is thicker and more powdery. I think it’s a decent almond fragrance and good value considering the price.

Great scent, good blind buy.. Glad I took a chance on it. Its definitely a hidden gem.

Great clone of Pegasus by Parfums De Marly

a unique blend of leathery, sparkly, nutty/powdery, vanilla and cola/root beer vibes for some reason? I also get a little bit of the lavender/sage floral feel and a smooth sandalwood base. Don’t get much cumin or citrus from it. A vanilla and almond powder bomb mostly , cheap and ok performance a different scent than what I’m used to but a nice fall and winter cheapie. I really like the sporadic leather note that pops up from time to time.

Macerated this for 3 years. Used it once or twice. No progression except for a tiny bit that toned down the very screechy, synthetic nature of the scent. It became more pleasant, but still very powdery and very synthetic. A blind buy that taught me not to gravitate towards scents with a strong almond note as it is just not nice in my opinion.

Like people have already said, it's too powdery. Smells like your basic almond soap, so I only wear it when I am home.

too much powder. i thought after maceration it would be more vanilla almont front but its just powdery almond. if the powder would be less noticeable it would be better. this is like some heavy icecream that got blasted by makeup powder. not that great. no idea where i would wear this.

Love the almond/floral opening and mid, dries down vanilla. Doesn't last long on my skin (four hours, tops). Projects pretty strongly for the first hour or two, then it's a skin scent. It's inexpensive (less than $20), so reapply as needed and to your heart's content. I don't understand why it's rated so low... but I don't care. I like it!

Craze by Armaf: A Complete Disaster—Unwearable, Unforgivable There are bad fragrances, and then there are fragrances so unpleasant they make you question your own judgment. Craze by Armaf falls squarely into the latter. I wanted to love this. Every single note in the composition is something I typically enjoy—almond, vanilla, lavender, spices, woods—all favorites of mine. But somehow, the execution is so catastrophically off that instead of something warm, smooth, and inviting, I was hit with an unrelenting, nauseating wall of synthetic, cloying, borderline stomach-churning sweetness. The opening is the worst offender. It hits you with a chemical blast of cheap almond and sickly vanilla, so overly artificial that it feels like inhaling straight from a bottle of plastic-flavored syrup. The lavender should provide balance, but instead, it clashes horribly, giving the whole scent a metallic, almost rancid edge. And then, as if things couldn’t get worse, the dry-down lingers like a mistake that refuses to be forgotten. A sticky, powdery mess that never truly settles, never becomes wearable, just lingers in a way that makes you desperately want to scrub it off. I tried. I really tried. I gave it multiple wears, hoping it would magically transform, hoping my nose would adjust. Instead, it made me feel physically ill each time. This isn’t just a bad fragrance—it’s one that I can’t even tolerate being near me. I wouldn’t even gift this. The only places it belongs are either down the drain or repurposed as a toilet freshener. Avoid at all costs.

Definitely a good choice if you're looking for a cheap alternative to Pegasus (or just a cheap winter scent in general). The almond is pretty potent but it smells a little synthetic, but hey, it's 20 dollars, so what do you expect. Dry down smells great, definitely a lot better than the opening. For the price, it's a solid purchase. The bottle is a lot bigger than you'd expect. People think the bottle design is poor but I personally like it. I can see why others don't, though.

Pegasus is beautiful in the dry down and has a pretty weird gross opening. Armaf Craze is like the gross opening all the way through. Weirdly the girl i'm seeing loves it but its not for me, I should have got pegasus.

Meh, it's ok. I like unique and this fits, but it wasn't the best blind buy. Also, the atomizer sucks. The scent profile: EXTREMELY POWDERY. Too powdery for my taste. The almond is prevalent, so is the cumin, heliotrope, and jasmine. Base notes are more faint than other fragrance. Wish there was more amber. Bergamot almost non existent. Performance: winter only fragrance. In my opinion, it only does well in freezing temperatures. Pretty good sillage and longevity. (about 6hr) Kinda strong too. One of my shorter spray routines with 4 sprays. All in all, if you live in a cold climate and like powdery scents, this is for you.

Initially when i picked this up. The bitter almond note was too prominent and did not smell well blended with the other notes. Fast Forward to over a year of sitting on my shelf. It has definitely improved. it has smoothened out and smells a lot better. It has matured to a wonderful fragrance. It is still not my personal style of fragrance. But will use it in my rotation this spring and fall. The key to making this fragrance is to let it mature (macerate). The longer u keep it the better it will get.

SOTD I have never had a chance to try the OG; however, this one is really good on its own. It has a well-balanced vanilla plus flora scent to my nose. It stays on the skin for around 6-8 hours. Definity is a unisex scent.

Bought this because I wanted to smell like PDM Pegasus but I work a retail job. It smells not as vanilla-y as I was expecting, so I usually layered it with a vanilla musk oil or a vanilla body spray. That being said, I have a friend who LOVES this on its own. I gifted it to him :] This perfume you should let macerate. Give it a month or two. And the longer it sits on your skin it gets nicer in my opinion.

I'm not sure how the new batches are, but I managed to get a 2021 bottle and it is EXTREMELY close to PDM Pegasus. From memory, I can't tell the difference after 30 mins. The scent quality is great, it does not smell any more synthetic than Pegasus. Except the bottle, which is so bad it's almost unusable, this is a great release.

The longer it sits the better it gets. I've had my bottle about 18 months and its has sat on the shelf the last 8 months. Very nice, lasted all day.
