Appear

This must vibe really well with my skin chemistry, but this is one of my most complemented fragrances! For reference, I have a large collection of both niche and designer perfumes and typically gravitate towards gourmands and molecular fragrances. I do layer this though, so maybe the combo is the key? I start with 11 11 perfume oil over moisturized skin (Josie maran body butter), then I liberally spray Appear on my arms, chest and neck, then spray Clean apple blossom on my legs and hair. This is also one of my favorite combos to wear in the spring/summer. I will always have a back up of this fragrance.

Do NOT pay attention to the hate comments, this shit is fantastic oml it’s definitely fruity floral, not gourmound enough in a way where I could smell the caramel notes but it’s still sweet like candy but initially the first immediate sprays then walk around the room ofc to prepare your nose, is very elegant white florals aroma with green apples and pear notes. The dry down is still green apples but heliotrope, raspberry, and musk added. It’s a mature fruity floral, smells juicy and like the feminine version of Amur Leopards by Sanctuary. A new favorite of mine definitely!!

sweet caramelized pear melting into powdery buttery florals with vanilla and caramel... it's a lovely gourmand for those who are into gourmands - extremely good quality, with depth added by buttery orris root and powdery heliotrope. I do not perceive anything cheap or over the top or plasticky I am really surprised I have not heard much about this house and at the low rankings of its perfumes which are all impressive - is it because no influencers are advertising this house?

I don’t get the bad reviews... I LOVE this fragrance. It reminds me of using a fancy pear/apple shampoo, then using just a spritz of Lush Super Milk to detangle. It’s fresh and fruity but also has a hint of caramel apple, then a musky, sparkly dry down. I own over 200 niche, indie, and designer fragrances, and this is one of the very few I own a backup bottle of. I always get compliments when I wear this too. Its fantastic 💕

I really liked this perfume for the first few months I had it. I would describe this one as not quite a gourmand, but close, and definitely not shampoo, but still clean and soft. Really nice for a day of errands in the spring. Sweet, juicy pear with an amber-musk drydown-- so well rounded, what's not to love? I found the answer to that question. A few months in, I have encountered a plastic-y note on my skin that takes around half an hour to fade. The drydown is still marvelous and is the reason why I'm a fan, but I had a similar experience to some other commenter where the plastic note makes it unbearable. Otherwise, the sillage is just okay, and it is definitely not a fragrance that will last you the whole day. Overall, a really nice scent, but some major performance issue. Not blind buy safe!
