Eau de Toilette

Three Pears Ltd. Mandate Eau de Toilette is a classic masculine scent that pairs the fresh, green opening of rosemary, bergamot and lavender with the spicy warmth of clove and cinnamon. Mandate's longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters wear it in autumn and spring, though summer has a fair share too. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and less towards evenings or nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, with a good number calling it classic. The top opens clean and bright with rosemary, rosewood, bergamot, lavender and clary sage. In the heart, geranium, clove, cinnamon and pine deepen the spice and the green. The base of tonka bean, amber, cedar, oakmoss and musk dries down woody, resinous, earthy and slightly leathery.

Gold

Three Pears Ltd. · 2020

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Three Pears Ltd. Gold is a fresh, spicy and woody fougère led by citrus and green notes, presented as a masculine fragrance. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Only a handful of votes back these ratings, so they read as a first impression rather than a firm verdict. There are no season or occasion votes, so it can't be placed in a particular time of year. The top opens with rosemary, lavender, lemon, basil, bergamot and lime, bright and herbal. In the heart, moss, nutmeg, clove and jasmine meet rose, iris and geranium, bringing a floral, spicy turn. The base of patchouli, leather, cedar and amber settles it on a woody footing.
