Green pear,not for everyone

Pear...well its lovely note for me in general but here pear is very realistic. Not the sweetest, floralic one. I got pear with strong minty earth note=patchouli and amber. So that scent is not for every one. Not so strong but not so weak too. I find it...mature. For everday? No, for some days. I didnt see anyone ''love'' it. Very greenish feeling. Fruity side coming from pear note. Sillage= first ok than your own skin scent. Maybe Im not used to that greenish, realistic side. +Its not so girlish, boys can use too.

My longtime fascination

I've been testing English Pear & Freesia repeatedly for years and still not 100% sure what to make of it.

The good part: It feels very refreshing and dewy, in an almost thirst-quenching way. The freesia is watery and transparent, and I also get a hint of rose with it. The pear is from a time before a pear note was added to every other floral and feels unique from the typical modern pear notes. It's crisp and juicy, neither the syrupy sweet, nor the cooling kind of pear. And I get lots of polished, musky patchouli here, so this is more than just another light fruity floral. It all draws me in. I contemplated putting this on my wishlist for a moment.

But then, there is this sharp scratchiness that I just can't shake off. Sometimes I notice it more, sometimes it's barely there at all. But I know that if I had this in my collection, I would never wear it for the fear of suddenly feeling it in my throat. It's a problem I also experienced with other fresh, floral scents that contain a lot of patchouli, for example Coco Mademoiselle. The difference is that most of them don't have so many other aspects I love. With EP&F, I wish I could love all of it. It's like a pink-toned, dewy, softly fruity version of Coco Mad with a hint of Narciso Rodriguez For Her in the background.

I try to rate all perfumes I review and found it difficult with this one. Usually a 7.5 rating for me simply means "good, but not remarkably so". In this case it means "too fascinating for a 7, not wearable enough for an 8, I can't decide if it's awesome or bad and it can change each day".

Fruity floral elegance!

So, recently I've learned that people use a 120$ perfume to make their sheets smell good!
Don't get me wrong. I'm not the policeman on people's money, but I find it provocative and offensive to rank this perfume among the bed-sheets fresheners.

For me this is such an elegant fruity perfume! At first, I get the pear and a slight scent of melon. Then it becomes more vanilla and soap (the good one)! I can tell the woman who wears this is a minimal dressed romantic soul, in short heels or flat shoes. Unpretentiously beautiful!
Totally wearable from men too.

What I really like, is that this perfume is not overworn. I somehow feel unique.

Lasts at least 4 hours and its wearable at any time, any season!

Fruity, floral chic!

No More Jo Malone!

Jo Malone is the very first niche house that I was exposed to and dislike. Cheap and linear scent. No complexity in it. Performance is bad. Last 3 hours max. Sometimes less. Weak projection. I so regretted getting it. I will give it to someone.

Simple and delicate freesia / pear combo

A simple, but elegant fragrance with the abyssmal performance we all know that Jo Malone has. Pear is fruity and sweet, while freesia is fresh, delicate and slightly sweet. Both notes play nice on my skin and paired together go hand in hand. As the fragrance moves on, the fruitiness from the pear becomes a bit more rubbery while fressia takes on a fresh, soapy-like aspect. Patchouli starts to come up earthy and a little bit dirty. Amber adds warmth while a delicate woody note comes up that doesn't overtake the fragrance, but adds dimension.

I do have to question the addition of patchouli which is the most jarring note out of all of them. I don't understand why it's here apart from adding longevity to the fragrance. Its earthy note clashes with the soft, delicate, uplifting vibe of this fragrance. Anyways, very lovely, but not my style, so it won't be added in my collection. On to the next!
