Pear Pavlova

I was so excited to try it. To be honest it’s because of the bottle design and colour of the packaging. Also the price seems very good. And for some reason I associate it with Steel Ball Run (don’t ask me I’m just a girl). Having free samples (just pay for the shipping) is so nice and very rare, wish more brands would do that. And now on the real review. I usual hate pear heavy fragrances. To me they are to sweet and make my stomach hurt like I just ate an overly ripe pear but this one is different. I love the pear in this! It starts with a sweet pear opening but the pear is fresh from the tree and still not ready to eat but smells so good (I don’t know if you get me, but I lived on a farm for 3 years and fresh pear to me smells just like this). After the pear settles down you get a lovely musky clean smell with a hint of sweetness and to me it smells like it also has some almonds. The only perfume it reminds me of is Tardes by Carner Barcelona. It’s like a more lovely and version of it. Tardes is a bit harsh and heavy but this one is light and sweet. As for the reviews that some people are mentioning. I don’t know how would they benefit from just 4 fake reviews. My theory is that maybe someone is trying to make bad name of the brand by making these (because they obviously are fake) and than talk about how they are fake and spreading the rumours around so that people get turned off. If you want to ban this brand from here than you have to ban almost all Arabian perfumes because they are overflowing with fake reviews (which is sad because they don’t need them because most of the perfumes are solid). I would recommend to people who are sceptical to just order the sample and not get into the drama because at the end of the day fragrances just like looks are subjective and everyone has their own taste. To sum up. To me this is a good fragrance I am considering adding it to my collection. And I am excited to see what they cook next. But I also think this is definitely not blind buy safe, it’s not a standard gourmand of floral it’s very musky and sweet I recommend sampling it first.

This one is sooo special. I will say the very initial (~5 mins) top notes whiff is a bit soapy for me, but that is forgivable because from 5 minutes to 24 hours after spraying this fragrance is INCREDIBLE. The pear note is so fresh and interesting because I don’t see many pear fragrances around. I love it. Fruity without having been done before. The real star though is the dry down to the creamy meringue filled sweet musk, it is absolutely addicting. Gourmand to the max and I just think of white fluffy whipped cream mixed with a sparkling pear spritzer. It also lasts forever—truly. There is no worry about a dissipating fragrance with this one. This is an absolute must try for anyone who likes fruity, gourmand, or “skin scent” fragrances.

I got this and another sample and with a ‘one on each arm’ moment sort of accidentally tried them together. I immediately ran and bought both full bottles. I’ve yet to wear this alone but within a week have a significant dent in this and the one I accidentally married it to. Trust me trust me trust me. Layer this on top of Mischief Academy’s Almond Milk. It’s magical. The laconic nutty base gives the crisp pear and apple (?!) notes (I smell crisp apple) something sweet to dry down into and it turns the musk into something that smells SO. BEAUTIFUL. I brawl for sweet gourmand and didn’t even get a chance to get mad at the musk in this. The drydown I’ve been smelling is the most beautiful layered almost key lime pie scent.

I have only tried this real quick once, but liked it a lot. Very fresh, natural pear scent with a soft musk. Really clean smelling. Sillage smells a lot different and much nicer than smelling close to skin. BUT! Notes are very incomplete here on Fragrantica. The house states these notes: pear, meringue, whipped cream, pink peppercorn, bitter almond, jasmine, ambrette seed, musk. Also, the nose is NOT Allie Goodbun but Ashley Santiago (in cooperation with Allie G). Please correct this @fragrantica!

Got a sample in the mail a few days ago, and I had very high expectations considering their rollout on social media (I was a bit skeptical, I have to admit). For some time now, I’ve been looking for a daily perfume that’s fresh, clean, and a bit sweet, something nice but not overpowering, and this perfume is exactly that! Also, 90 euros for 100 ml... yeah, I’m buying this! I’m actually really excited about what’s coming next from French Cowboy. Will keep my eye on them for sure.
