If you enjoy refreshing fragrances that aren’t over-the-top fruity, it’s time to try ones with notes of pear. Notice closely and you’ll see most fragrance descriptors for pear will include the words ‘crisp’ and ‘clean’, and that is because even though it is a fruity note, it is subtle and sophisticated, a greener scent, so to speak.
As opposed to the zestiness of orange and mandarin notes, the pear is sweeter but definitely not cloying. In fact, the liveliness of the pear accord is often used as a top note and perfumers agree that it adds a certain degree of cheerfulness and lightness to compositions. And let’s be honest, with our Indian weather, we need fragrances that deliver that a good dose of freshness.
So, here are 7 pear-based fragrances for you to choose from:
