I agree, and I can't rate it higher than a 7. I think the very strong pear scent really bothers me. Unfortunately, it doesn't blend well with the sweet, jammy rose for me.
It's been 15 years since I last used the old Mille & une Roses, and I can't rule out that my memory might be faulty or my taste has changed. But the old version was soft and had a tea-rose freshness to it. I don't find that in the new scent.
But I don't know the original version and will give it a try without any reservations!
