Beach Vacation with Fig and Pear

'The Girl' smells completely different from 'Tommy Girl'.
It is a floral scent, fresh like a sea breeze, a little sweet, but not too much. Pear dominates, and it is a juicy, green pear. I am usually not a fan of pear as a fragrance note because it often goes in that dessert direction that I don't like, but that is not the case here. Fig or fig leaf supports the juicy, refreshing character of the perfume, and violet leaf adds a slightly green note. I usually can't stand lily of the valley in perfume, but here I can hardly detect it; together with the jasmine, it only contributes to a floral component and a light unobtrusive sweetness. This gives the perfume a subtle femininity and ensures that it doesn't become too unisex. A light soapy-clean character gently settles over the other fragrance notes after a while. Cashmere wood and cedar come in last. The fresh sea breeze from the top note now blows through a cedar forest; spicy, woody, and forest notes join in.

Overall, I find the scent fresh and maritime, the anchor on the bottle fits quite well. A nice, uncomplicated summer fragrance for uncomplicated young girls and women, playful without being kitschy and, despite all its simplicity, not boring and characterless, but rather with a few interesting corners and edges. A feel-good scent for the beach vacation, especially for those who are fed up with squeaky-sweet fruit salad summer fragrances. Due to the pears and figs in the fragrance pyramid, it is also wearable in late summer and autumn, especially since it instantly evokes good moods and memories of summer.
If someone wants to get rid of a bottle, they are welcome to contact me, because as someone who usually gets creeped out by lily of the valley and pear in the fragrance pyramid, I have actually fallen a little in love with this scent!

Laughing, that fits perfectly like A. on a bucket :D
...I hadn't read it before, but I'm even more glad now that it's going to good hands!
I also find this slightly salty pear/fig combination very pleasant!

As I already mentioned, my girl had to move on quickly, but I completely agree with you: this is truly an unusual summer fragrance for a relatively low price, with its own quirks. I enjoyed reading your comment!

That sounds quite appealing. And not just girly at all. I think the price-to-value ratio should be good here too. Definitely worth a trophy :)
