Pear & Olive

This is truly a remarkable frag. The opening is a delicious, shimmering, oily and slightly green/sweet pear. The drydown doesn't change a whole lot, this is quite linear but by no means simple. It smells like nothing else I've ever encountered. In a way it reminds my slightly of Serge Lutens Jeux de Peau, certainly not in notes - but in the sense that both dance around being gourmand frag's but never quite fully take that leap. Leaving them in a delightful place for those of us who enjoy foody notes, but don't want to smell like a meal. There's a slipperiness undercutting the sweetness of the pear that prevents this becoming too sweet. I'd say this is the olive oil accord, though it is in no way obvious. Just a gentle, silky greasiness that adds a real depth and character to the entire composition. The milky-wood and chamomile add a slight herbal, savoury undertone. I don't sense a lot of cognac here, just enough to lend a quiet shimmering back-note. Truly an excellently crafted composition. This is not a fruit bomb, at least not in the mainstream common sense - this is silky, greasy-sweet and entirely unlike anything else out there. I can see how this would polarise people, I think you'll either love it or be completely confused by it. As someone else said here - it doesn't really smell like a 'perfume' in the traditional sense. It's beguiling and odd. In a single word, I would sum Pear & Olive as 'compelling'. Longevity, as with most Slumberhouse offerings is damned near eternal. Sillage for me is between moderate and heavy, and remains quite strong for a good long while.

P+O Cylinder w/Marbles (CwM) The CwM opened up similar to the flask w/marbles but where the flask/w marbles remains linear the CwM changes things up! After the first spray the pear started to boom and it got super boozy...my room smelled like someone poured booze on the floor. Crazy strong but natural and smooth as can be! I took a lap around the house to test the sillage and sure enough pear and booze. Very pleasant...but safe! I messaged one of my SH bros saying "I wanted the salad dressing version this one isn't that"...I spoke too soon. Because right around the corner was a switch up from sweet to savory!🥗 A cple of hrs in it changed from Pear and Booze with zero hints of olive, to now being olive with a lil pear and no booze. I turned around to see if my door was open as my wife could've been cooking and the smell drifted up here but nope...the door was closed! I thought to myself "It's the salad dressing!!! Yes!!!". 😂 The savory aspect I am experiencing has the same effect salty food does... it makes me want to balance it out with something sweet. In this case its not just salty though the pear is there but as an olfactory tease almost as bad as that sneeze that just won't come out lol. I can see how so many were capitvated by the first SH's and some long for the old days when Joshs' style was more in your face, edgy, and raw! On that note ISO: CwM bottle types Vikt, Jeke, Norne, and of course more P+O! #NextLevel

This is a highly interesting fragrance and is not quite like anything I have tried before. Like the other Slumberhouse scents I have tried (ore and norne) this feels thick, not sure how else to describe it, thick, full, lush. It is not like the other 2 in that this is a lot lighter in mood and feel. This opens with a sweet pear note with something almost figgy lurking behind, and the thick oiliness of good quality olive oil (the really fancy stuff you get in opaque packaging). Over the first few minutes the sweetness recedes considerably as the olive figgy thickness comes forward. This settles into something creamy and lush, it smells perfect in summer (have not tried in cold weather) It really is something a bit different, and a wonderful change on sunny days to the usual citrus cologne/coconut/fig scents. It is a well rounded strong and lasting scent yet it doesn't feel "perfumey" if that makes any sense! I really like this, and it is so different to anything else I have tried, definitely recommend getting a sample of this.

OOOHHH MANNNN! Josh has done it again!! I bought 4 slumber house in one hit - thanks to Josh direct! Finally got my hands on KISTE, NORNE, SIXES & SEVENS AND PEAR & OLIVE which was an unplanned buy. IT ROCKS! (let alone the others!) ABSOLUTELY THE MOST NATURAL AND BEST performing pear scent I've tried. Its simply because the oil quality and content is so high. Josh provides a gorgeous left field gourmand scent that sits on my top shelf amongst a few others. The Pear (sweet - like its freshly cut and juicy) remain past the opening and well into the dry down. After the initial spray some olive oil joins in and then Green olives appear and sit next the pear. Linear and so realistic. This may just be the first gourmand I might wear to work regularly. Completely inoffensive and yet attention grabbing with out looking like you are trying. huge silage - great longevity too. Just like a sweet aromatic pear sitting in a cup with green olives covered in oil next to it! Onya Slumberhouse!!!

Wow. Just wow. This is the first Slumberhouse fragrance I've tried, and I'm kicking myself for sleeping on this line. I'm unfairly dismissive of fruity-foody fragrances, and it was without high expectations that I liberally splashed this over my hands. The first impression was meh, it reminded me of pear hand lotion with a greenish metallic twang. But the DRY-DOWN took me by complete surprise! It's magical! For me, the main story of Pear & Olive is about the MASSOIA!! The massoia note in Pear & Olive could be its own perfume -- woody, grounding, creamy, salty, briney, sappy, sweetish, slightly peppery. It has the character of creamy mysore, with the sweet milkiness of a fresh-snapped fig leaf. I'm amazed at how perfectly the other notes bring out unexpected facets of massoia, from the pear (sappy sweetness), the olive (briney saltiness), the cognac (boozy depth). It's beautifully balanced. This is a totally unique, but also beautifully wearable, woody.

The combo of salt and fruit gives this a kind of pulpy, milky character as though you crushed some kind of green pod with a mortar and pestle. I lose the pear almost immediately but I prefer the cool, neutral, vegetable sweetness of what remains anyway. Instead of pear, I get a whiff of sweet bread (like banana or zucchini) that hovers a few inches above my skin. Altogether, this is really beautiful perfume that reminds me of real life smells I've encountered but can't pinpoint. Best of all, it has inspired me to seek out other salt/fruit fragrances: a category that doesn't exactly exist but should. My only complaint is that the volume could be turned up a few bars. My 1.5 ml sample vial created the same effect of a scented body wash or lotion. Nonetheless, after sampling this and Norne, I am excited to try everything else from Slumberhouse 4 out of 5.

Wearing Pear & Olive is like sitting outdoors at an Italian cafe... alternating bites of fresh juicy pear with some green olives. Then breaking off a piece of nice crusty artisan bread and dipping it into very high quality olive oil. Am I in rustic food heaven? Yes! Sillage is pretty decent, and longevity is about 3 hours on me. While I'd rather be in the dining scenario I mentioned, wearing P & O could be a fine reminder of sunny days, laughing and eating and drinking a nice dry white wine. Very pleasant stuff!

This is the scent of awesomeness. I love how different the fruit smells. The pear is fresh, boozy, ripe, and realistic all at once. Plus, there's an underlying savoriness that adds a layer of complexity. The juice is concentrated but the sprayer gives a nice fine mist of fragrance, leaving you with this tantalizing fragrance from morning to night. Does it smell good? Yes! Is it unique? Yes! Everything I ask for in a perfume.

Pear & Olive is my second fragrance from Slumberhouse and I must say it is quite unique. At first spray I get the pear with the olive. As it dries down, the pear kind of hides a bit and the olive comes out full blast. Along with sweet, woody and boozy. I get a whiff now and then and I love it. As with all parfum extraits, do not over spray. One to three should be enough.

I wished the pear was more pronounced but I love it regardless. I really don't like olives but I love this scent. The fruity/floral ratio is perfectly blended with the slightly boozy dry down. I know that most people love the quirky SH scents such as Norne but I love this and Ore which are a bit more normal.

The pear note in this is so good. It's sweet and very authentic. Its blended with a slight boozy and oily olive which blends very well with the pear. It's perfect for spring. Longevity is great, around 8 hours. Projection is average, not the best. But I guess it will project better in high heat.

Beautiful, not overbearing fruit, but a really interesting take on pear and olive, it's oily yet fruity in a strange way?! It's green and fresh but not harshly so, it's linear but strangely comforting and different, I love it.

I'm looking for a full bottle of this too. Please PM me if you will sell or trade. Thank you.

Blind buy. What à beauty! Give this a try!

Slumberhouse. House of MASSIVE longevity! I recieved four samples of their currently available fragrances, Jeke, Sova, Norne, and Pear & Olive. I applied one spray from the tester, handsome cloth labels on them. I had to rub it into my wrists, this "edp" is so high concentrate it laid on my skin almost like an oil! It openes with an icy, minty, bitter blast! Similair to the opening moments of Byredo Pulp in its lovely, bracing greenness. Cool, & tart, we have pear, and thankfully not the syrupy in the can kind, smelling synthetic and sad.. We are treated to the pleasure of the green, slightly underripe fruit, flesh and skin, freshly cut. This accord is wonderfully balanced by the slick, fruity nuances of fine, first press olive oil, and florals which are hard for me to pick apart! Perhaps it's the dry hay-like & lightly sweet chamomile, setting a perfect backdrop for the star players to confound and amaze us all day & night.. Hours later there is a very slight progression, no minty top, a little more warmth from the pear.. A little more mellow. Still Pear & Olive is staying with me strongly, making my nose tingle and that part of my brain work, that loves it, & is then, a little confused.. And then loves it, then, is a little bewildered.. A truly niche fragrance indeed, which does what so many fail to do utterly, and actually bring something new & exciting to the table. Meanwhile, maintaining a level of taste, in this category overrun by synthetic fruit punch, and and put out a unique scent that feels very refined. This could be worn with formal wear by a gentleman, or a lady in a Chanel Beige coat. or play a personal pleasure scent. I'd call it truly unisex & versatile. Beware it's massive strength! And definitely a try before you buy, it's not for every "fruity floral" lover. It's for a very unique, and intriguing "fruity floral" lover. A lover of niche perfume executed well.

Now, that is an interesting one! Right off the bat I got strong chamomile flower-ish punch, that hit my nostrils. After few mins, maybe 90 seconds it it joined with very sweet pear. The fragrance itself is kinda' oily indeed. Another weirdo, but that one is so nice and cozy, that I imagine absolutely everyone liking it. I find it as definitely the most feminine leaning fragrance I've ever smelled from Slumberhouse. Associations? Well, it's unique as hell, but I feel like Fjerne does resemble it somehow. Don't know how yet. Spring and summer staple, maybe even the only Slumberhouse I'd dare to wear in a super hot and humid day. I also detect some face and body cream/balsam accents/nuances here and there. Inexperienced noses might confuse this with some sort of products you're using when you got right out of the shower and you want to moisturize your body. When it reaches its drydown interesting coconut has shown up. A bit like sun lotion mixed with coconut milk smell. Alluring and calming scent. Still the scent doesn’t loose its oiliness. Very interesting. Longevity is up to 10 hours, sillage is medium.

In the beginning, the sweet pear is rather powdery. It somehow reminds me of the detergent-like watermelon flavored bubblegum that I have consistently avoided ever since I was a child. As it settles downs and approaches the 2 hour mark, the fruit becomes juicier and distinguishable as pear. As the fragrance continues to progress, it becomes increasingly rounded and likeable. Perhaps it is the "olive" part that balances the scent by contributing a sultry and slippery note. Although I cannot entirely identify it, I more or less can detect an olive oil note. Pynkgirl also mentioned there being a note reminiscent of coconut, and I do agree. In fact, that note seems rather prominent to me. But I don't mind it, in fact I think it rounds out the scent rather nicely. Overall, I can't quite say I love this fragrance quite yet, but I don't have a high quality "fruity floral" in my collection yet and would definitely keep this on my mind as a likely candidate.

Pear & Olive is an unusual gourmand offering from the eclectic Slumberhouse line which promises to offer fine uncommon fragrances. This herbal fruity perfume opens with boozy cognac and a fruity pear. It proceeds to a middle with the olive and a herbal chamomile and settles into a woody herbal base of ananaglaia, massoia and calamus. Don't go into this expecting you would be biting into a juicy pear or olive. It comes across as an unusual summer/spring tropical cocktail. Like most offerings from this line the perfume has a distinct and unusually moderate to high sillage and projection and good longevity. Unusual, very; beautiful, that depends on the beholder. Very linear and simple and would appeal to those who like natural abstraction in life. Enjoy!

Wow! I'm loving this. One of the best pear scents I've tried next to Charriol Men, Montale Wild Pears, Dior Higher and Petite Cherie. What makes this entirely unique is the savory olive base that's a ying to the sweet pears yang, like opposite yet complimentary forces working together to make an incredibly balanced and delicious scent. As the pear and olive opening notes fade, light woods, sweet booze and medicinal florals come out in the dry down. This is one Slumberhouse scent that may be full bottle worthy. Try this for a unique sweet and savory scent! Score 7/10

Smooth pleasing natural very fresh pears with soft boiled lollies rolling around in my mouth. A linear and simple fragrance. Quite pleasing. A change of gears from the normal Slumberhouse offerings. No smoke, no wood, no ash, honest ! 4.1 / 5
