2030 Park Avenue

2030 Park Ave

Pearfat Parfum 2022

2030 Park Avenue is lightly sweet, fizzy, and powdery, like Sweet Tarts combined with Alka-Seltzer. The lemon candy note is distinctive yet curiously muted, as if seen from behind frosted glass. The entire composition feels soft and crystalline in a way that evokes rain and cosmetic powder in equal parts. The effect overall is lovely and unusual. This is not a crowd-pleaser perfume - it wears its indie heart on its sleeve - but it's not harsh or loud either. I think this would work well as an everyday scent, since it's soft and stays close to the skin. If you like fruity, fanciful rain scents such as Steamed Rainbow or Koiame Eau de Parfum, this one is worth trying.

I love love love this fragrance.

2030 Park Avenue has a strong petrichor opening, like rain soaked concrete sidewalks, with a slight sweetness and note of warm wood. The petrichor fades fairly quickly, but the wood note stays and the dry down reveals a powdery candied lemon. I find the dry down to be incredibly comforting. It’s sparkly, slightly sweet, slightly musty and totally cozy. It makes me feel glamorous and ladylike, not to mention I love that this fragrance takes you on a journey. It really is like walking the city streets when it’s been raining all day, finding some bar to hide in, drinking a cocktail with a sugar rim and forgetting you were ever cold and wet to begin with.

While I’m obsessed with this fragrance I can’t imagine it will be for everyone, the opening is somewhat abrasive, I would certainly test it out before buying!

It mixes well with weed and tobacco. On me it lasts 6 or so hours. I was loving it as a fall scent but I think it’s perfect for a moody spring as well. I think it suits me wonderfully, I will be upgrading from my sample to a bottle very soon!

this fragrance feels like sitting in a beautiful sunroom with vintage wood furniture on a cloudy, mild spring day intersparsed with rain showers. you’re wrapped up in the worlds cleanest, most comforting, soft blanket, nothing to do, and daytime tv is playing in the background while you read a good book with a cup of earl gray gone cold sitting next to you. its so familiar and cozy. i definitely get the petrichor and citrus, and on my skin it dries into a really beautiful musky wood that’s incredibly reminiscent of antique stores. really loving this one

I would put this in the category of inoffensive office scents.

It's not doing anything new or exceptional, just doing exactly what is on the tin which is a wet flower scent.

A lot of other reviews mention a mold/trash smell which I have to imagine is the city note for a lot of people going sour. Luckily (or maybe unluckily) I am having no such notes. It's more just smelling a fresh plucked dandelion outside while it rains.

I think a trash note would have made this more memorable but I don't think people should be afraid to try this.

I get more candy than lemon, and you have to squint for the candy. In my opinion the "rain" note in this isn't super fresh, it's very humid/warm. I disagree with the "green" in the notes also... Overall the perfume gives a powdery impression especially on drydown and does not come across as green/aquatic to me at all.

The opening is extremely harsh (idk if i got a dud/old batch?) but it's an overwhelmingly acrid burnt rubber smell (smell kind of burned my nose). Not sure if it's just my sample though, lmk if you also get this...
