JHAG made me a musk convert.
I have a number of fragrances that incorporate musk in their profile, but none that really put it front and center the way Pear Inc. does. I just don't tend to really *get* musks or skin scents, especially as they often incorporate iris or violet notes, which I almost never like and tend to read as really grandma-esque on me.
Anyway, JHAG gave me the option to add a sample of this to my order for freesies, so I said, what the heck, let's do it. No regrets! This musk isn't too skin-y and doesn't rest on any florals. It's giving more fresh-linen-shirt-on-skin than the skin itself. And that image is especially fitting because, like detergent, this is a bit synthetic-y, but that does die down over its medium wear time.
It's bright and fresh and juicy. In that way, it's similar to Valentino Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy (too many words in that title omg), but a teeny tiny bit warmer thanks to the ambroxan, and a little bit more unexpeted thanks to the lack of florals.
I am sure I'll be reaching for the sample and crawling back for a bigger bottle.
