2030 Park Ave

I got a secondhand discovery set and unfortunately this one had leaked halfway out all over the other scents. Everything smelled of the woody notes in this. I’ve been sampling these Pearfats for a few days and every time I touch the mini sprays, my fingers smelled like this for hours afterward. This is despite removing the wet packaging and wiping clean the contents days ago. That woody note is ETERNAL! I’m finally sampling it today. I’m afraid some of the other notes may have burned off as I’m not getting lemon or tuberose. I do get a bit of mildew in the very opening as another reviewer mentioned and figured my sample had turned, but the mildew scent vanished completely in a few minutes. Now I’m left with primarily an aromatic woody scent that smells soooo good. A few years back I was chasing this type of note through many bottles of perfume. Milky Musk by Parle Moi, Sunny Side Up by JHAG. I had others as well but I ended up reselling most of my bottles because I never wore them. I then realized I enjoyed the scent much more when sprayed on my curtains, linens, etc. in my home. I’m a woman and don’t actually wear many wood dominant scents, but I loved the smell so much, and sampling this is a reminder. I need to get my hands on a fresh sample asap, because from what I can smell, I love so much. I’m also a big tuberose fan so if that is a dominant note here I MUST smell it! I’d also be interested in buying this scent in a diffuser. I want my home to smell like this. I feel like this is entirely wearable and could see myself grabbing it from time to time. Not a complete review but I love what I’m smelling so far!

love love love this perfume. hits the right unisex notes without leaning too strongly one way or another, inoffensive wear as well. projection is not super strong, it's very noticeable in close settings on skin, it projects more on clothes with my experience. personally, i get direct asphalt smell with only a little lemon on the drydown (which i gravitate towards industrial tire + metal + smoke + gasoline smells, so this fits right in)- super strong asphalt smell on spray, settles down within 5 min or so and is very pleasing to smell. lasts about 5-7 hrs on clothing, lasts closer to 5 hrs on skin for me. very reminiscent to me of new asphalt mix placed on a road, slightly damp from last night's rain. it also hits the macy's/jcpenny department store vibe, like the smell of a discounted leather bag from there. overall very appealing and planning to get a full bottle, definitely a night scent bc its quite a dark scent to wear in the day. i personally think its a good summer scent, especially when it's humid, but who knows

2030 Park Avenue has a strong petrichor opening, like rain soaked concrete sidewalks, with a slight sweetness and note of warm wood. The dry down reveals a powdery candied lemon. The petrichor fades fairly quickly, while the wood stays to mingle with the candied lemon. I find the dry down to be incredibly comforting. It’s sparkly, slightly sweet, slightly musky and totally cozy. It makes me feel glamorous and ladylike despite the fragrance being definitively unisex. However I can’t imagine 2030 Park Avenue will be for everyone- the opening is somewhat abrasive, but I love that this fragrance takes you on a journey. It really is like walking the city streets when it’s been raining all day, finding some bar to hide in, drinking a cocktail with a sugar rim and forgetting you were ever cold and wet to begin with. It mixes well with weed and tobacco. On me it lasts 6 or so hours. I think it suits me wonderfully, I will be upgrading from my sample to a bottle very soon!

It’s too steamy for such a cold evening. Taxi cabs spray a fine mist over the subway grates, and there’s this strange, hovering wetness. I’ll say, it’s better than the enveloping dryness inside our small apartment. The radiators share their smothering warmth, and when I step outside I smell a petrichor not from the ground but from my skin, rehydrated by a spritz of evening rain. The hem of my suede trench is wet from the puddles kicked back by too-heavy leather boots. The edge of my sleeve dampened by a handrail I grabbed hold to stabilize myself heading into the 23rd Street subway stop at 6th Avenue. I had one negroni while I was getting ready and the citrus garnish lingers. I haven’t eaten enough yet, so I’m buzzed and slightly anxious. Let's get on with the evening, I'm less interested in dinner than I am in the dancing afterward.

Other reviews all seem to be saying something different. I will add to this range LOL. I am obsessed with this scent. I have always loved musky, petrichor scents so this was right up my alley, I'm definitely biased. The more I can smell like nature the better. However, this scent adapts and changes throughout the day, and towards the end of my day I was left with a really pleasant sweetness (the cocktail bar that is mentioned). I get a little bit of patchouli as well. It lasted all day and I could still smell it on my clothes the next day as well when I was putting them in the wash. More of a nighttime scent for sure, but I could see this being worn year round. I loved what it settled into so much that I could not stop smelling myself. I will likely buy a full bottle.

Oh I love this. Damp and dank root cellar is my immediate association. The kind my great grandpa had out back under the shed. A small wooden ladder that shook and splintered and was entirely unsafe but it was so fun to dare all the cousins to go down into the darkness and feel the temperature drop 15 degrees within seconds. That sweet decay and mildew is such a comfort and fairly realistic. I'm very pleased. And while I was breathing this in there was a moment where it began to smell like when you get water in your sinuses. The taste of that, the sting, in the back of your throat. This will be at the top of my FB wishlist for sure. In the end it softens up to be probably the sweetest way to smell like a moldy basement. 10/10 I'm in love.

Love love love!! Pearfat is very thoughtful in the way that they craft their notes in order to tell a story. On initial spray, 2030 smells very heavily of rain/wet concrete. It captured that smell really well. As it dries down, the rain smell becomes woodier, a little sweet, and very moody. 2030 Park Ave is the addresss of a jazz bar in Detroit, and as a certified Detroit girlie, it makes use that much better. If I were to wear it out and about, I would probably spray it 10-15 minutes before I had to leave to let some of the overwhelming photorealistic rain smell dry down but it is definitely wearable. My favorite out of the discovery set. Itching for a full bottle fr

I don’t know if I’ll be in the mood to write anything long and poetic about this fragrance anytime soon—I just want to say I love it, my husband loves it and I was blown away on first spray. A true banger IMHO. Didn’t look forward to the rain note when I read the description but MAN does it WORK for me. I like wearing it best on a humid day. I can stop searching for any other basic lemon-heavy frag because while this one is weird, it’s incredible, and I have no use for any other strong lemon-note in my collection, cuz I’m sure I’d reach for this one every time.

2030 opens with the scent of rain-soaked grass on a hot, humid day—green, wet, and earthy. If you close your eyes, you can almost feel the humidity in the air. Rain is not a note I usually gravitate toward, but there’s something vivid and strangely addictive about it. As it settles, it softens into the scent of warm, damp concrete after a summer storm, with a touch of airy sweetness. It’s unexpected, even a little odd—but I keep respraying just to experience the full journey again.

earthy, rainy, dirt + humidity and a certain coldness to it <3 all of pearfat's perfumes are very artistic and beautiful in their own way. they all start off with the strong scent of what it is supposed to be and then settles into its own thing and they all become wearable, subtle. *somebody mentioned like if they were watching a horror film in a perfume and i agree! but it's noir horror...is this what nosferatu smells like too? but he's an nyc art hoe?

Does the difficult task of making sugar smell mature. I’m wearing it to a friend’s birthday dinner on a humid, stormy spring night, and when I say it fits like a glove, I mean it. Mixes well with the smell of tobacco. Perfect nighttime scent for someone who doesn’t take life too seriously (as all Pearfat does)

To me this a dirty (literally), musky, lemonade, in the best way possible. With a woody and slightly floral base. The lemon is not a very bright or sharp lemon, it is far more smooth note. This fragrance is really cozy, smooth smell. It reminds me of hikes or walks in a park after a rain.

I can’t pin down a single note in the fragrance, and I think that’s what I love most about it. Everything blends so beautifully and flawlessly. Probably my new favorite fragrance...perfect for any time of any day of any season. Pearfat is killing it.

i have been (metaphorically) drinking this scent all spring-long. how can something be so creamy and grounded all while exuding such a misty-brightness? against all odds, 2030 is impressively loud, which is convenient for compliment-getting :)

Sitting below some underhang on some Southern front porch: it is been hot all day and the afternoon shower cools the asphalt in front of the home to the point it is steaming while you drink lemonade. Olfactory is the highest form of art.

Damp and dank, but also light and breezy. I don't get the lemon here as strongly as others do, but definitely get a sweet floral musk wrapped in petrichor haze. I've only worn it a few times but got so many complements!

Upon opening this smells exactly like a field of weeds and native flowers and grasses in summer after a sudden burst of rain. It reminds of me a nostalgic scent of childhood

The lights of downtown Columbus twinkle and sparkle like stars underneath the once foreboding clouds in mid June. The sound of the once torrential downpour, now gone, the only remnant of the rains rage are the puddles left behind. The bar you're at with your friends has a covered patio area; so there is no need to worry about getting wet, or even worse, your drink getting watered down. You all sip on a jug sweet limoncello as you laugh the night away in the humid yet cooling night. The night fades, but the memory never will. This is such a beautiful, velvet-y smooth ambrosia of summer night goodness. A sweet candied lemon that reminds me of limoncello is on full display upon first spray. Then slowly mellowing out with this amazingly weird rain like scent that is so smooth and realistic. A warm ambrette musk creating the feeling of humidity as it all ties together to make this wonderful painting. I don't get much tuberose, maybe a hint of non descript white floral like the fleeting memory of a perfume once smelled, but nothing that slams me in the face like "Do Son." I also don't get much cedar, but I do get a wet woody-ness VERY faintly in the dry down. Super fun, refreshingly comforting, and unisex fragrance that is perfect for any warmer nights. I can see this being someone's signature scent as they might really dig the effect this has. I get pretty good performance out of this thing as well, just doesn't project as much as it performs.

this fragrance immediately transports me to a busy city in the middle of a downpour, with yellow streetlamps illuminating the night, concrete slick from rain, all while you’re sipping a french 75 and people-watching as you sit alone. the opening showers you with loud petrichor and something warm industrial-feeling, which evokes wet concrete and melancholy. it’s moody, heavy, warm, but in the dry down, the lemon comes through as tart and punchy, perfectly complimented by a sweet, candied quality. i find that the sweetness helps to pull it away from being too industrial, otherwise i can see someone getting a strong wet rubber impression. the cedar note makes it feel vintage and mature. the notes all blend together so seamlessly, and the gradual dry down feels like the rain is fading to a light sprinkle, leaving space for the heart and base notes to shine through. this fragrance is very unique and evocative, it feels distant and lonely. i like it so much more than i was expecting to based on the scent profile. despite the intense opening, i actually find this fragrance very wearable, specifically as a summer nighttime scent — i just wish it projected more; based on my wear test, it sits pretty close to the skin after about an hour.

The opener is odd - not good or bad, just plain odd. Alongside the candy-like lemon opener, I get a warm, dense cloud of what other reviewers are calling mildewy. The musk mallow is exceptionally forward, almost medicinal, but not bitter. Personally, to me the combo comes off warm and numbing, almost like Cepacol (those sore throat anesthetic numbing sprays). This would normally be a bad thing, but combined with the petrichor it feels almost boozy, like a strong vodka-infused fruity drink that you shotgun after rolling into a bar from the rainy city evening. The rain smell in this is warm, like hot pavement, and it feels intimate like neon lights. The perfume mellows out after that. For me it was quite floral (probably the tuberose) on top of the musk mallow body, but my partner said it was almost entirely woody. It's really comfy in the drydown. This is a gorgeously creamy perfume - if you don't mind the odd opener, it's a huge winner.
