About pear
Pear is a delightful fragrance note that brings a fresh, juicy sweetness to perfume compositions, reminiscent of the fruit at its peak ripeness. Its olfactory profile is often described as bright and crisp, with a tender, watery sweetness that can introduce a mouthwatering quality to scents. This note is versatile, used to add a modern, fruity touch to both feminine and masculine fragrances, enhancing floral, woody, or even gourmand accords with its unique freshness. Pear can serve as a top note, lending an immediate burst of freshness that evolves gracefully, or it can be woven through the heart of a fragrance, where its juicy sweetness can be savored over time. Its role in perfumery is multifaceted, capable of elevating a composition with a touch of natural, airy sweetness that is both comforting and invigorating.

Perfumer's Tips
Pear is best used sparingly to maintain its delicate balance without overwhelming a composition. It pairs beautifully with floral and green notes, enhancing their natural freshness. In gourmand fragrances, pear can introduce a light, fruity sweetness that complements richer, creamier elements. For a modern twist, combine pear with aquatic or ozonic notes to evoke the sensation of fresh, dew-kissed fruit in the early morning.
