Wild Pears

WHAT AN AMAZING PEAR SCENT. For those who think pear is a daytime, fresh scent, may I introduce you to her evening form? Minus my middle school DKNY Be Delicious days, I have had no interest in pear. To me, it's always straddled between fresh and sweet in a way that satisfies neither desire. But Wild Pears. WOW. For my former DKNY peeps, this is the grown sexy version. It opens with a most realistic juicy warm pear, but it's creamy and vanilla! Sensual pear - pear for the evening. About a half hour in, a muskiness comes out, that's just, yes, I'll say it again, SEXY. I'm surprised when people talk about their Montale faves this one doesn't come up more often. The dry down several hours later is a like and not a love from me-- still creamy, but after the pear fades, the strong floral really comes out, in a way on my skin, that veers a tad into a scent my great aunt used to wear-- elegant, but more mature (over sensual). It's a very anisic floral that actually reminds me a bit of Lilac Love. All in all, a very pleasant surprise.

Mmmm this is such an interesting scent, agreed it's exactly what it is Pears. I just got this today the opening on me at first reminds me of a nice sweet wine (this is nice if you like sweeter scents) it's has just enough sweetness w/o being overly sweet. && as it dries down it smells kinda soapy just a really beautiful fruity soap. I will add that this is one of those scents you deff. have to try out first...How I described it smelling on me might not necessarily smell the same on you, for instance my manager loves how differently it smells on me, she says she doesn't like it on her skin b/c it just smells like a really sweet fruit salad. I also get a nice spiciness that makes me feel it's pretty suitable year round like how spiced pears on the holidays && I can also pick up the vanilla on the dry down. It really is a unique fragrance It has a nice && lively freshness to it && when I have it on I can't help but keep sniffing myself, && to think I almost overlooked this one. :)

Some people say canned pears, I do think it's a bit more towards the fresh side. Reason being is canned pears typically have that almost artificial sweetness to them with the syrup, and this scent is much milder. On a scale of sweet like syrup to dry bitter, it leans sweet but not by much. The opening is a bit strong on the alcohol and punchy with the fruit scent, but the drydown has the floral notes come through a lot more in almost a 50/50 balance with the fresh pear. There's just a hint of woody spiciness in the back, barely noticable. Vanilla, not so much, but maybe that's just my nose. This scent clearly leans feminine but as a guy I'm happily wearing this - it's very fresh and clean and fruity, but in a sophisticated way. I find it just sweet enough to be inviting without being sickly. Really enjoy this scent. Ironically I bought Chocolate Greedy and got this by mistake - guess happy accidents do happen!

Wild Pears has arrived and here's the verdict: This blind buy paid off! I really like the fragrance, it's fresh, fruity and perfect for summer. I am a man and I can let the other men (and women) out there know that this one is completely unisex. It's a luscious, juicy pear that is quite vibrant on application, the scent reminds me somewhat of a room spray my mother uses, it settles down into a fresh pear with an underlying of something sweet that could be caramel or brown sugar. I'll definitely be using this one through out summer. I would have to add (as an edit) that this perfume is quite room spray-ish. Not a cheap and nasty dollar shop room spray but room spray all the same. I might have gained this one through a blind buy but I would suggest that others try first.

This perfume was a blind buy online because of a really good sale so t took a chance. It is very strong from the start and has excellent projection at least 6 feet away. On me this perfume is not sweet at all it smells powdery, woodsy, and a hint of incense once it dries down only in beginning does the juicy fresh pears stand out. I really like this perfume! I live in the Arizona desert where it gets over 125 degrees so this perfume is a very strong scent in the heat. It is only in 90s in April but this perfume is a beast on me projecting so strong I will not wear it in situations where it could choke others as overwhelming. I highly recommend this perfume if you love Montele fragrances or fruity woodsy scents.
