By the editors · 2 min readPear opens with a crisp, watery sweetness that cardamom immediately spikes with cool aromatics, while violet adds a sheer purple hush. The heart trades fruit for powdered orris draped over dry cedar, the wood’s pencil-shaving edge keeping the iris from turning makeup-bag sweet. Sandalwood lands creamy and blond, amber stretching it into a soft, skin-polishing finish that lingens close. Projection stays polite—arm’s-length at first, then a translucent veil—so it works for summer offices yet still reads dressed-up for evening. The whole arc feels like pressed linen: cool, smooth, quietly expensive.
