Angelys Pear

This is an amazing, refreshing, a bit spicy, and juicy scent. It does have a peculiar oakmoss accord, however, that just gives to it and does not take from it. The overall scent that so-to-say ripes on the skin remains joyful, uplifting, and sweet. Yes, sweet. On my skin, it is sweet. Not cloying at all. Refreshingly sweet - and a bit sour, which I adore. This combination is among my favourite ones. It does remind me of the Amyris Femme Extrait - and this is what I was looking for, given the price range of the MFK Extrait.

Crisp, soapy, green, fruity--really nice vintage Cristalle vibes. This summer has been a punishing one, and all I can seem to eat is cold fruit out of the fridge. I can't seem to get enough of limpid scents like this one. One spritz and it cools the air around me. There's nothing like a chypre to help you feel pulled together. Highly recommended for daytime work wear, and for saving your vintage stash.

Fantastic fresh pear scent. It’s really nice, light and fresh. Unfortunately very poor longetivity on my skin.

Sampled tonight from a dabber, on skin. A very pleasant, classy, feel-good perfume, with what I consider the most realistic pear note I've experienced so far, which dominates for a good while. For me the next noticeable ingredients would be moss and rose, which cause it to lean quite feminine, and the long drydown is pleasantly soapy. Guys who get into dandy, Kurkdjian-type stuff would still be able to wear it. Regardless, a very likable scent that would fit right into a nice spring or summer day. And certainly one for a seeker of realistic pear, instead of the typical candy one. What an impressive talent Patricia is. This sort of thing makes me wonder what she would have accomplished at Guerlain's helm.

It's inexplicable to me that pear is not a more common scent in perfumery given that it is so singular and so delicious. Pear is the dominant note in this chypre, but as others describe below, thanks to the green notes at the top, this smells much more like a spring pear or the skin of a pear than a juicy and fully ripened summer pear. It's a very pleasant smell, but it stays pretty close to my skin. The oakmoss is evident almost immediately, and blends well with the musk and the patchouli for the drydown. I like this very much, but its sillage is too quiet for me to justify a full bottle. It might make a good office fragrance for that reason, though.
