What does Pear smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a light trail close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, business and daily wear leading the occasions. It reads slightly more feminine to voters, though a fair number find it masculine.

It opens with bergamot, pear and lemon zest, bringing a citrusy, green freshness. In the heart, gin, juniper and freesia add a floral and lightly dry edge. Teakwood, amber and musk settle underneath and soften it into a gently sweet base.
