A Pear Dream That Unfortunately Lasts Only a Short While
Pear may appear in some fragrances under the motto fruit bomb, but it has never been presented to me as naturally and pleasingly as in this perfume.
In summer, I loved the scent for its fresh, logically pear-heavy sweetness; the scent progression doesn’t offer much more, and notes like vanilla or musk are sought in vain (or at least I do) here - but in this case, it’s rather better than worse; the naturalistic pear is simply fantastic here and would likely be disturbed rather than supported by the other components mentioned.
Unfortunately, however, it doesn’t last at all as one might expect from Montale: After just a few hours, the surrounding pear dream turns into a whisper that can only be recognized up close, which (to stick with our somewhat abstract image) at best evokes the vague memory of an elderly person recalling the distant, albeit happy dreams of childhood.
