Citrus

Pear smells like biting into a ripe fruit on a sun-warmed afternoon—juicy, green, and gently sweet without cloying. It's lighter and more delicate than citrus, with a crisp, slightly floral character that sits somewhere between fresh apple and honeyed stone fruit. There's a subtle green leaf quality, almost like the stem and skin of the fruit. It feels clean and innocent, perhaps reminiscent of pear juice or those waxy pear sweets from childhood, but far more sophisticated and refined when isolated as a fragrance ingredient.

Gourmand

Imagine walking into a Polynesian bakery where vanilla pods are being split open—that's your first impression. But this isn't the gentle, delicate vanilla of ice cream. Tahitian vanilla absolute is richer, almost creamy, with honeyed warmth and a whisper of floral complexity that feels distinctly feminine. There's a subtle woodiness underneath, reminiscent of aged oak or sandalwood, paired with caramel sweetness and a soft, powdery richness. It's indulgent without being cloying—the scent equivalent of melted dark chocolate with hints of orchid petals.
