By the editors · 2 min readPear opens cleanly — ripe but not sticky, with a slightly watery quality that sets an understated tone. The pyramid is sparse, so the progression is subtle: moss and basil emerge from the base with a green, herbal damp that evokes a kitchen garden or a wet stone surface after rain. Nutmeg adds a faint dry spice that keeps it from reading purely vegetal.
The overall impression is quiet and grounded — cool green-earthy rather than bright or sweet. Sillage stays close to skin, and the mossy base dominates in the drydown. Works best in mild to cool weather where its restraint reads as precision rather than absence.
