Pear Gelato: I was beyond excited for a sample of this, but it was gravely disappointing. The name is misleading, instead of a refreshing or tart pear note, I get the distinct smell of a melted green apple jolly rancher on top of a cloying vanilla. It's important to note that there is no cream in the vanilla, there is no milkiness, it is just a one dimensional, sugary vanilla base. First sniff is like snorting a bag full of sugar – nauseating. Even when it dries down, the jolly rancher gets lost, but the overly sweet sugar remains.
I would not purchase this. Gourmands rarely impress me, but this was still such a letdown considering the sheer amount of praise it gets.
