Pear, Water Lily & Amber

Love! I also discovered this one through Jeffrey Dame's postcard sample program. I had requested a different scent and Mr. Dame included the P/WL/A which I immediately fell for. (The Cassis/Rose/Sandalwood wasn't a match for me, so it's best luck he sent several!) I think it could be worn throughout the year. I've enjoyed it in both quite warm and quite cold weather. I especially love the interplay between the amber and the pear/water lily combo. Sooo pretty, and something one could wear often without getting tired of it quickly. Longevity is a few hours, and projection is pretty good during that time. I recently upgraded from a 1.5ml sample to a 5ml trial size, and will for sure upgrade to a 30oz when I run out. Fortunately, Dame Perfumery's prices are reasonable - particularly compared to many department store and other niche/indie lines!

This one's a love, for sure. I wish I was better able to describe perfumes, but what I can say is that it's really hard for me to find scents that work on me, especially now that I've developed sensitivity to some chemicals, like iso super e. This scent is beautiful on me! It is light, slightly sweet, musky and completely free of any harsh or sharp tones. It never overpowers, but it is easy to smell for several hours. This is my favorite of the three trial bottles I bought (mate, heliotrope, and patchouli and the osmanthus soliflore are the two others. I also received a sample of bergamot, jasmine, and labdanum which is beautiful, and will be my next trial bottle). It is a nice, clean scent without being soapy. Very unusual and very good!

I wore Clinique Happy for years while in high school back in the 90's. I dislike it now, but at the time I wore it morning noon and night. Dame's Pear, Water Lily, and Amber seems like a grown up REAL version of Clinique's Happy. If Happy is a painting of clean laundry on the line at a beach side home, Dame's PW&A is an ACTUAL beach side home with clean laundry on the line. It's a bright citrus floral that makes you smile and feel pretty. Also, one of the longest lasting citri/florals I've experienced. Same as Bond No.9's $300 bottles.

I received a sample from the perfumery. This is a lovely soft ,clean floral scent. The water lily and dewy rose ( pear)open this scent beautifully! The musk seems to add a veriest hint of pepper ( that or there's a bit of zest from the citruses) and then the other florals are blending in pleasantly . Very ,very pretty scent. I think I might need to get a bottle....

I received a sample of this from Dame Perfumery and was happy to try it. I'm a little leery of current floral fruity fragrances as they inevitably seem too sticky sweet to my mature nose. I am happy to say that this is not the case with this scent. This is a very clean, clear scent with pear leading the way. The pear does bring a note of sweetness but in a juicy way rather than a sugary, candy way. The water lily quickly follows and I was pleasantly suprised. It did not overwhelm and instead added an aquatic quality but in the manner of a lovely scented bath, rather than the ocean. The cherry blossom and honeysuckle are present and blend well, adding a floral, summery note. All in all, a very pretty, elegant, understated scent, good for everyday wear. It makes me think of a fashionable, cool sundress in the summer on a lovely woman with a cheerful, approachable air.
