Pear Glace

I don’t understand all the negativity here, because I absolutely love this. A perfect quick reach for a hot summer day, this smells so juicy and refreshing! I get the sharp, green pear immediately, then it’s quickly tempered by a cool, juicy melon. It smells like a fizzy, refreshing summer cocktail. Like those delicious pear martinis you can get at J. Alexander 😂 This runs in the same vein as strawberries and champagne for me (which I also LOVE) — slightly sweet, but not too sweet, fizzy, and slightly alcoholic/boozy. I understand it wont be for everyone but that’s okay... it’s definitely for me! I love it. For those saying this is sharp, it ABSOLUTELY starts off that way. But once it mellows out, that aspect disappears. I could see this lotion laying REALLY well with something like DKNY’s Be Delicious. I may try that this summer, for that early 2000s fruity fresh vibe!

I used to wear this fragrance quite a bit in my late twenties, post divorce when I went out on the town. I, too, smelled a "boozy" scent along with the sweet pear. Beer? Hops? Not sure. BUT--- Men LOVED this on me!!!! It was as if I were bathed in pheromones before I left the house. I will never forget the night a super hunky young body builder guy approached me as I was going to my car after a night out and said I smelled "Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!" He said he had to have me right that second!! That has only happened to me one other time-- when wearing Obsession (the original by CK in the early nineties). I am sorry for the sensually-charged review but I am not kidding. Crazy! Still a fave scent of mine, but I rarely wear it. It somehow just doesn't smell the same without the hint of liquor and cigarette smoke. LOL!

I agree with MuseumGal, the best Pear! And I have done as Filigree has, layered over sesame bath oil. I had also worn this with Jovan White Musk. It goes well on me after applying Palmer`s Cocoa Butter. I have tried other Pears, and nothing beats VS Pear. It is delicious, fresh, and clean. Also has a somewhat boozy vibe to it that others have mentioned, and I find appealing. I was maid of honour in a fall wedding, and had brought an almost empty bottle and one full bottle of Pear Glace to the church where I was to dress. The bride literally snagged my full bottle ( which I gave to her, happily ) and she made it her own throughout her honeymoon in the Cayman Islands. Goes to show, it goes well whatever the season, and location. I love VS Sparkling Apple as well, and the sadly discontinued Jeweled Citrus.

I love this. I wear it a lot on really hot summer days when I don't want to wear a heavy perfume. It's super fresh and green and has a slight beer smell in the very best way. I just love it!!! It obviously doesn't last long because it's just a cheap body spray but it's so uplifting and energizing while the scent is still there! You can overspray the hell out of it and it'll still be just as enjoyable as if you only sprayed it once or twice. A nice freshie for hot summer days, running errands, going to brunch, fresh out of the shower, etc.

This is my current favorite body mist. I love how it balances a light, fun, and fresh quality with elegance! The pear is juicy and sweet, the green notes are fresh and dewy, and there is an underlying melon note that adds to the deliciousness. There are also soft florals in the background that keep this fragrance from smelling juvenile, unlike some of VS's other body mists. If you like Cucumber Melon by Bath and Body Works, but you want something that's slightly more grown up, I would strongly suggest this.
