Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Pear’s exotic, sugary sparkle enhances citrus and floral perfumes and opens up more palate possibilities in your scent wardrobe. It’s melon-y sweet, but very crisp and dry, making it an excellent punctuation point in fragrance. Pear goes best with other tropical citrus notes like yuzu fruit, litchee, peach, and pineapple. But it’s also fantastic with sharp spices like ginger and cinnamon - spices whose dry, crisp flair will allow pear’s natural juiciness to come forward. So if you enjoy fruity floral scents, but with a more sophisticated, tailored, and exotic edge, pear perfumes are worth seeking out.

    Not for me
    I smelled this on a test strip in store & loved it… it was a clean, sweet pear scent. On my skin it pulls a weird note that almost smells like playdough? Really disappointing :(

    Too mature smelling
    Not sure if it’s the moss or ambrette but it’s too mature smelling for me

    One of my favorites
    This scent is so mature, so nice, too me its peppery and musky, at least thats how it reads on my skin, I LOVE there is nothing too sweet about it since I am not fan of floral and sweet scents. I will forever repurchase this scent.
