What does Ginger Pear smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of voters is small, so this reading is tentative. It is made for men and women alike and leans toward neither.

It opens with pear and bergamot, giving a fresh, juicy first impression. The heart brings white gingerlily, fennel and rhubarb, adding a floral note with a faintly green edge. In the base, sandalwood and musk soften the whole, while the sweet, gourmand tones stay in the background.
