Specialist Natalie advice
If you're in search of a delightful pear scent, steer clear of those that resemble shampoo or candy. High-quality pear is juicy, velvety, and harmonizes effortlessly with floral or musky notes. There are various pear profiles to choose from: green and fresh, syrupy and indulgent, or even smoky for the more adventurous. Consider combinations such as pear with rose, iris, musk, or tea, because hey are sophisticated and long-lasting. I would advise avoiding anything overly sweet or flat, they tend to fade quickly and have a synthetic aroma. Always test the fragrance on your skin because pear can transform with body heat. And if it disappears within 10 minutes, it's probably not worth your time.
