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.

For me, this perfume smells precisely like a pear-sorbé that we were given as children during summertime. It smells like canned pears and carnations dripped in sweet sweet goodness. On me, the perfume changes during the day, with intermittent wiffs of the pear and carnation. The dry-down is a sweet mix of must and vanilla, while still remaining true to its initial spray in terms of fruitiness. Great staying power! Mouthwatering!

If you like the scent of ripe, sweet, juicy pears, then this one is for you. It's the most authentic pear scent that I have come across The scent is very linear! Pears, Pears and more Pears, from beginning to end. This fragrances is marketed as unisex however I think it's more of a women's fragrance. It's so different from the usual male fragrances in my collection I like it very much!

In this parfume i feel a distant scent of incense that is fantastic, the pear dominates but also the carnation, all combined in a sublime fruity/floral harmony. A scent that envelops and involves you. Overall i like it enough,love it! Sillage: 7.5/10 Longevity: 9./10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5/10

My goodness, first spray - it's just a famous lemonade "Dushes"! Overwhelmingly sweet and stiсky! But later, due to flowery notes in the pyramid, it becomes even nice and quite wearable! Advice: try it before buy it UPD: i love it in summer days! It sounds much fresher, it's a scent of happiness!

Oh that is so beautiful. The first blast just knocked my socks off! Unfortunately the intensity of the pear gets remarkably weaker after a half an hour. And with it dissapears the big part of the specialty. But I still want it. the first sniff is worth it all. Longevity on me is around 9 hours.

This is exactly what it says it is and that's one of the things that I love about it. The pear is sweet but not overly so with a lovely fresh feel. Beautifully done but my only gripe is, I wish it lasted a little longer but I will certainly be buying myself a bottle for summer.

Interestingly, overwhelming mixture of Pears Juicy and well Creamy Sandalwood. I am very good on the skin so it has a strong projection in 30min after application then softens. I dig that, yes sir! I rank it like this: Smell: 9.5/10 Projection: 7.5/10 Longevity: 7.5/10

I enjoy this pear fragrance, it's the only perfume in which I can recognise pear.After this magnificent pear blast , comes in a mature drydown who resembles very much to La Dolce Vita by Dior.

Absolutely delicious, fresh and clean. Elegant and refreshing in a world currently stuck on amberwood and marshmallow.

Много любима креместа крушка, а в комбинация с coco vanille mancera е страхотно

this is nice pear scent for summer. i like it a lot

Montale Wild Pears EDP opens with a moderate projection of sweet, fruit, citrus, and white florals. The opening is very fresh, intense, natural, elegant, and inviting. The pear is the opening most noticeable note, natural, moist, sweet, sharp, and evocative of the aroma of the actual fruit. The bergamot is a passing visitor that enhances the pear but it does not last long, it will soon be replaced by the white lemony musk. The lily-of-the-valley and carnation are one or two steps behind the pear, they both combine their accords adding a white, bright, and slightly green floral note. As the fragrance commences to dry-down, a mild powdery and lemony note develops from the musk sweetened by an also mild, rich, and warm sandalwood. The vanilla is the last note to enter the fragrance adding also a mild, sweet, cozy, comforting, and dessert-like accord. The fragrance has a noticeable but simple opening to dry down change, the opening is very intense and projecting, the pear and bergamot are sharp. Towards the dry down, the musk will develop cutting down some of this wonderful initial intensity with its powdery and lemony touch; simultaneously, the fragrance will lose projection, taking a step down to a moderate-low. Once Montale Wild Pears EDP has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate to a low projection, mildly sweet, powdery musky, pear, and white floral fragrance. The fragrance feels aromatic, clean, cozy, delectable, delicate, diurnal, elegant, fresh, gentle, high-quality, inviting, modern, natural, nicely-blended, slightly powdery, refined, relaxing, romantic, unique, unisex, versatile, and very pleasant.

Great scent, I did not expect that much of pear and I love that I was wrong. At first there is just pear - juicy and ripe, not very fresh but sweet. It also is quite sugary, exactly like pear preserves. This note gradually, but quickly (about 5 minutes), fades into the background (especially the sugariness)and I get cloves, which is weird since they're not listed. The clove scent morphs into mix of sandalwood and musk after about another 5 minutes with the comeback of pear. After that I did not smell pears exactly, but rather musk and general sweetness. This is what sticks for 5 to 6 hours and then the entire scent is mostly gone. Not really unisex, because it smells sweet most of the time. The cool thing is that this would be really great if you had to run errands in the afternoon and then go straight to the party / dinner / night out. That's because the sweet pear smell fits great for day use and the spicy musky finish is at home in a night setting. Reccomend for all those who open a jar of pears in syrup and think "I love this smell", and then don't mind the spices and musk.

Oh my.. What a beauty . I have been curious aboout this one for a long time , The pear has always intreged me , a juicy pear straight from the tree whats better then that . This on starts of with that , The crispenes the juicynes the swettnes put me straight back to my childhood ,climbing the trees to get to the wonderfull fruits ,scratching my knees on the way but who cares , you bite that pear its all heaven :) The vanilla is defenetly there makes it feals like a desert , then the Musk and lily of the valley makes it a bit more soapy refreshing almsot like a hint of Bijan nude , honey like fruity at one stage .( just a bit similer not the same ) there is a slight floral feal here aswell ,but i cant say its carnation i smell , more about the lily of the valleys soapynes . I totaly love it , nead this in my life . Nead it right now :)

GORGEOUS for a REFRESHING CHANGE! But only for 30 - 60 minutes :( Blind bought some gourmands on a whim. Reminds me at first of a sweet sparkling pear cider (non alcoholic) that dries down to Pear Tart with icing sugar after about 1 - 2 hours. Occasionally the Carnation waft overpowers the experience and makes it smell a bit like old fashioned hairspray. Unfortunately after 2 hours the carnation dominates and all of what made it an awesome smell is gone almost completely making it just basically a carnation perfume or makes me smell like I just fixed my beehive hair do. I do not get any incense at all, projection was minimal after 1 hour - so for me an interesting distraction but not a keeper - an EDP should work MUCH BETTER THAN THIS! EDIT: I just read Eleni s review and it was exactly the same for me.

Pears have a smooth scent, slightly sweet yet at the same time light. And Wild Pears captures that essence perfectly. It opens with...Pears! Sweet and (at least to me) little boozy, perhaps because of the vanilla. The lime in the opening gives an uplifting kick to this fragrance. even though it feels more like a feminine fragrance, the middle part with the sandalwood is more unisex. Then the lily of the valley and musk take the whole thing to a powdery note, still with the pear as the main note. I like it. Although I'm not sure if I can pull this one off, it definitely gives a more feminine vibe. It's a fragrance worth to try. Thumbs up for quality, it develops slowly so it doesn't go from the top notes to the bottom in 2 minutes, and because the scent matches the name!

I instantly recognize a candy that tastes exactly like this fragrance: fizzy, fruity, with hints of ripe pear. Later on, the dry down is unexpectedly subtle and perfect on its own. Personally, I would have appreciated a hint of leather or tobacco to balance out the medium fruitiness, but it's still worth buying. It's incredibly fresh and clean, unlikely to overwhelm anyone. The initial spray may be misleading, but the dry down is subtly heavenly. Much later, it reminds me of the scent of someone's scalp after showering with a pleasantly fragranced shampoo, combined with their natural skin scent. It's simple and lovely, not trying to be anything more.

Wow, the opening of this is gorgeous. I love pear scents and get a fresh, juicy, bright realistic pear for the first 10-15 minutes, I was simultaneously in nasal heaven and complete fear for my bank account at needing to shell out for a full bottle as it was so ripe and delicious smelling. However, that pear fades after the first 15 mins, leaving an underwhelming light, vaguely floral, somewhat powdery dry down. I get the carnation, but it's not obviously so, just kind of an absence of pear than a presence of anything else! Ah what a let down. Will enjoy the opening of the rest of my sample decant from Notino and then move on.

SWEET CANDY PEARS _______________________________________________________ I wanted to try some Montale fragrances today and was surprised to see that there is a fragrance called 'Wild Pears'. I tried it instantly. Just like the name migt suggest, pears burst out of the bottle. But it's not pears, but candied pears. It's quite sweet. And the sweet doesn't dry away. The pears fade away after a couple of hours, but the vanilla doesn't. It begins sweet and fruity but the dry down is only sweet. Overall: quite interesting scent Opinion: I love pears - 8/10. Longetivity: - 6/10 Sillage: - 6/10 All in all: 6 out of 10 points.

Well, a pear note in a fragrance and a Montale perfume can be a hit-or-miss for me because both tend to be too sharp and musky for my liking. Therefore, I was all the more happy to realize how lovely the pear note in Wild Pears is: it reminds me of preserved pears, a concentrated fruity smell with a light sweetness. A soft muskiness starts to emerge during drydown, but it never gets overpowering and ultimately contributes to the excellent longevity of the fragrance. Even the next day, I can still smell remnants of pear and a light muskiness on my clothes. This is definitely a must-try for pear lovers.

Well, this is interesting. I’m shopping samples looking for that perfect pear. This ain’t it. The pear is a hit-and-run. It’s in and out so fast, I don’t know how they put pear in the name. BUT...the middle notes are lovely. I guess it’s the carnation I’m getting the most of. It’s a bit on the spicy side, as carnations are. Finally, it settles into a lot of sandalwood, which is a logical transition from the spiciness of the carnation. I can’t speak to silage and longevity at this point, but I’m loving this for the surprises it brought and just ordered a full bottle.

Nose Note #512 Not very realistic hyper-sweetened pear. I think carnation tints the pear into smelling plastic, so it's not so much artificial as it's just combined with carnation. It's a very memorable scent. Some men can definately pull this off. I wear it and I'm OK. Beyond this pear accord there's really not much going on, unfortunately. A very loud start. After some time the overall smell acquires this dusty shade. It's definately a very strong perfume so it doesn't apply to summer 100%. It's not a freshy. 7/10, dusty pear that's a little plastic

So lovely. I really didn't expect it to be so lovely. When talking about pears in perfumes nowadays they're often used in overly sweet compositions. One of them I own; J'aime nuit from La Perla. This smells like a soft summer shower however. Even though you used strong smelling shampoo and body wash, they were of high quality ingredients and the soft summer breeze makes it smell al so natural. The pear is so lovely you want to eat it with your lungs. I can't help but inhaling it deeply. Again: very very nice.

My this transforms! It started with a near perfect pear, like opening a jar of mom's canning. The spice from the carnation and a bit of floral comes in and then joins with lily of the valley in soapiness. There is also a creaminess. Whoever said it smelled like lotion was correct. This isn't an edible creamy. This is something with shea butter and other creamy bits in it. But it changes again, drying down to a musky vanilla. The longevity was around 6 hours.

Bright fruity pear opening which I love , unlike most other reviewers I don’t find this to be powdery or granny like, to me it has similar vibes to Mojave ghost and miller Harris poirier d’un soir- of which I have both... as in not the same scent but similar wearing experience. I find it unisex in the dry down, subtle but long lasting. I wear it to the gym.

Never expected to love this but it has a very exciting edge to this perfume - maybe unexpected match with pear and bergamot? I don`t yet know. You can surely feel pears but they are a bit green (yeah, wild) and fresh and there is just something so good going on here. Thoroughly enjoying this scent in springtime.

I like it. It leans female. It smells of wild pears, it really does, but all this in a flowery, soapy way. Some might say it has an old lady or cheap perfume vibe, so sample first. The pear is very intensive and apparent, but it's soapy, smooth and creamy actually (probably the sandalwood/vanilla combo).

This is the only Montale I've tried so far and love...sweet and spicy pears...what isn't there to love?...it's not as big and monstrous and many of Montale's other creations...worth seeking out if you like citrus and want to try something completely different...

I get just a hint of sparkling pear cider and then the heavy smell of old women's perfumes, not in a bad way but elegant and vintage even. Definitely not a "playful", juicy, fresh one I expected.

Smells just like a fizzy pear soda. I really enjoy it. It doesn't last all day, which is a bit sad for this price point. I'm still repurchasing it however.

Joyous & juicy pear. Screams daytime and spring - summer. Pear is realistic and long lasting. Mood booster.

If that pear was more greenish this was banging Nice for female

Wild Carnation suits this better. Very faint pear not but majority this is floral and musky with a touch of woods and vanilla. Way more feminine than masculine and overall a disappointment. If you want a great pear scent try the DUA dupe of Pear & Olive by Slumberhouse named Succulent.

A pretty, artificial pear. Beautifully presented plastic fruit.

Wild Pears opens very sweet and syrupy. I smell fresh pears but also lots of other fruit notes, and a poof of musk. The bergamot makes it slightly bitter. Then woody notes appear and a while later sweet vanilla notes. The pear becomes more sweet and fruity than fresh now. After this the scent changes a bit and becomes fresher again, with some light woody notes underneath and a sweet vanilla in the background. The bitterness of the bergamot disappears now. The drydown is a deep sweet fruit syrup with light vanilla and wood in the base, and poofs of white musk on top. I do get decent sillage and performance, both are moderate on me. Sweet, sweet, sweet. Smells like cherry winegum candy, which is wayyyyyy too sweet for my taste in perfume, but this should be very suitable for sweet gourmand lovers! It is a warm scent. The pears disappear quite quickly on me, I don't smell any after 15 minutes. I do smell candy, lots of it! Candy and musk.

Starts out so fun, like a pear flavored lemonade, a bit on the artificial side. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last very long; fifteen minutes and here comes the carnation, immediately aging the scent into something that a chic grandma would wear. It’s not that... bad, but doesn’t suit me at all. (After all, I was misled by the pears, just like everyone else here, lol.) And Montale’s musk tends to give me a headache at the end of the day. And boy, does it stay on LONG.

this scent does not mix well with my skin, and im starting to think none of the montale frags do. I was so excited for this pear perfume. The opening is nice but wasnt the blast of pear I was expecting, it was more subdued. But on dry down? This smells exactly like carmex on my skin. Definite try before you buy!

The much anticipated pear is clear and pretty realistic in the first 5 to 10 seconds, then it dissapears completely into a harsh, non-descript, unpleasant mess. Had to wash it off actually. Also, the price is insane for ANY perfume, let alone this one. Hard pass.

Smells like spicy baby wipes. The pear note is there for only a second. So, if you are looking for a pear perfume, then I suggest you skip this one!

after 20 mins smells like cats pee........

My own personal hell. I would not dislike this quite as much if I hadn't built up the anticipation through some 3 or so years to buy it. I hyped it too much in my mind having never smelled it since there are no physical retailers where I live. I smell mint. Somehow, for whatever reason, mint. I was so happy with the idea of a pear centric fragrance with decent longevity and I pictured it so much different. I had read the reviews here, positive and negative, I had watched video reviews... I don't understand how anyone on god's withered brown earth could call this a realistic pear impression. Mint! Spearmint! It reminds me of a lithe version of Eden by Cacharel, which was a disappointment for me too but at least I could appreciate the arrangement, the symbolicness, the representation they went for in Eden. Not here. To add salt to the wound, I was sitting at a bus stop with this demonic scent on my wrist for the first time when a mom and daughter sat next to me, they were chattering and suddenly they started talking about a perfume that the mom bought the daughter for her birthday, well, she actually pulls it out, sprays it, and what do you know? PEARS! I was being ,to quote Amy W, laughed at by the gods. She then asked, what does it smell like? And the mom replied, I don't know, roses, sweet? .... I bought it from fragrancelux which I understand is legit, but I questioned myself on the authenticity purely in the jarringn difference between what was on my wrist and the idealized, fully me-autheured version in my head. Well, with hints from reviewers and the pyramid. You might've noticed mint is not in the pyramid, people atribute the spicy element to carnation. I like carnation, this is mint to my nose for some reason. I don't think this is fresh or summery whatsoever, it was over 45C today (k me) and it was outright nauseating. Pear is my favorite note ever, mint is my most hated note ever. This is a punch in the gut. Montale 'Wild Pears': The demon of Babylon disguises itself with the coat of the righteous.

This really smells like that old fashioned pear beverage, in Eastern Europe known as "dushes". So yes, there are certainly pears and I can feel then throughout the wear. However, probably to make it more sophisticated (or more wearable for a woman in her 50s) and less like fruity body mist, there are other notes added and it ruins for me. Cannot tell if it is the carnation or a mixture of notes, but is smells like a sharp harsh floral and this particular scent is completely off putting. Surely not a safe bless nd buy. Lasting power /sillage is okay though.

I got it in hopes of it smelling like a sweet pear popsicle, instead, I got a powdery granny baby-wipe scent with some warm spice. I'm so disappointed, there's only 1 second of pear in the background when you apply it, and then it's gone with the wind. The worse thing is that this shit STAYS for at least 28 hours. Calling this scent Wild Pears is pure delusion. I've never been this mad with a scent before.

I am so saddened by this perfume. I am a lover of anything pear and I ordered a sample directly from the website. This smells like baby powder or a baby wipe. the pear top note lasts for 5 seconds on me and leaves the powdery base. I’m glad I didn’t blind buy it and I don’t suggest that you do either if you are looking for something heavy on pear.

A whiff of pear in the beginning, then it's straight-up granny powder for 20 hours! I feel so damn scammed. The pear is nowhere to be seen!
