I like it
I really enjoyed testing this perfume, and think about at least owning a travel size every so often. As others have mentioned, the performance is very poor. To me, this smells like an overripe pear with an organic sweetness. I dont catch a baked pear, it is instead sparkly and clean and it would be a nice one for spring and summer but the projection and longevity are not it for me.

ephemeral fruit
Five minutes of spilt champagne, followed by thirty minutes of pear detangling spray. And not a moment more. Remember L’Oreal kid’s “Pear Tangle Tamer?” It came in a lime-green bottle shaped like a long-snouted fish. (Automatically outing myself as a millennial here). Sparking Jo southpaw’d me with one hell of a nostalgia kick not two spritzes in. One minute felt like I was at a sloppy bachelorette, sequins splashed with fizzy Moscato, and the next I was seven years old, picking through a snarl in my childhood bathroom. Weird bit olfactory of whiplash, but not an unpleasant trip. Pity it doesn’t last any more than an hour.

Mental Snapshot: A sparkling pear sprite. A playful pixie. Part Tinkerbelle, part Daisy Buchanan. Golden ringlets, dragonfly wings. The champagne sister to the absinthe fairy, and every bit as sweet as she is fickle.

tl;dr: imaginary pear

Definitely a nighttime scent
So, I actually really appreciate this fragrance, but it is SO boozy. To me, the smell reminds me of being in college and going to parties that were absolutely drenched in booze, that sour beer kind of smell. That being said, it's a vibe that I like. The zingy fruitiness works well with that smell. I think this would be a great scent for a party or a date. I definitely wouldn't wear this to work, though. And the longevity and projection are poor. I don't think I'd have use for a full bottle, but I'm glad I bought a sample.

On second thought, the drydown is very ambergris heavy and powdery, which I really don't like.

Sour Pear
Normally, I really like boozy notes in perfumes, so I was intrigued by the scent pyramid of Sparkling Jo. At first, I get a fresh sharpness from the champagne and the pear, but in the dry down, I smell a very disturbing, piercing note - probably from the musk. Maybe it just doesn't work on my skin. What a shame!

Gorgeous citrusy champagne. Refreshing, soft, unique. Falls into your-skin-but-better category with abysmally poor performance.

I do see the reference to champagne but this feels a lot sweet-fruity to me than champagne

It holds a good 6 hours on me which is all I can expect from a sparkling scent. It’s a fancy summer scent for me and I love it.

A joyfully, sparkling champagne with hints of pear that vanishes too quickly and settles into cheap body wash.

Boozy champagne, fruity pear, a stint of sweet ginger and a thorough freshness on a smooth blend. Unfortunately it's VERY weak.

Black currant jam that fermented a little bit, not sweet

Interesting scent with sparkling champagne and pear, but it's not for me. Unfortunately too much musk in the dry down.

warm-spicy-sweet ginger with aromatic pear on a wooden base, minimal musky accents, subtle smoky note
A true all-rounder

A sparkling fruity delight: Williams pear, musk, ambrette with a hint of ginger served in a glass of champagne. A guaranteed mood booster.
