Pear

Fruity notes go far beyond the ordinary fruit. In perfumery, a peach note can be juicy and velvety, or dried and almost winey. Fig combines the milkiness of the leaf with the muskiness of ripe fruit. Raspberry brings a gourmand tartness. These notes are often obtained through chemical synthesis because natural extraction is complex, allowing perfumers to play with nuances impossible to achieve otherwise.

Fruity notes create an impression of approachable, joyful freshness. They are rarely intimidating, often sensual. On the skin they pair naturally with musks to create highly addictive 'second skin' accords. Fruity fragrances suit every occasion, especially everyday wear.

Pear is mainly used as a top note, the first impression. It belongs to the following olfactory families: Fruity Floral, Fruity Gourmand, Fruity Chypre, Fruity Oriental — modern fruity notes have renewed feminine and unisex perfumery since the 1990s. At BrazaScent, Louis Vuitton, Ex Nihilo and Sospiro use this note in 4 compositions available as decants.
