Montale Wild Pears: description of the perfume pyramid
This fragrance appeared in 2011, when the general fascination with oud began to wane a bit and fruity scents became fashionable. The dominant of the perfume is already declared in the name of Montale perfume. "Wild Pears" means "Wild Pear". How it sounds, those who had a chance to try this fruit in an abandoned garden know. Then, a certain light viscosity and spicy astringency are added to the sweet juicy taste of an ordinary pear. These two qualities and beats - very successfully, according to the reviews - Pierre Montal.
The composition opens with a fresh breath of citrus, or rather, bergamot. The wild pear manifests itself already in the overture and sounds without ceasing until the very end. The heart of the fragrance is purely floral. A modest, shade-loving lily of the valley and spicy cloves are intertwined in it. In the base of the perfume composition, Pierre Montal laid such universal aromas as sandalwood, musk and vanilla. It should be said that "Wild Piars" is included in the collection called "Among the Fruits" (Around The Fruits). It is designed for lovers of fresh or sweet "delicious" flavors.
How users feel about the perfume pyramid
The purpose of Montale Wild Pears perfume is unisex, so representatives of both sexes tried it and gave their description. The men really liked the first chords of sweet-tart pear, which sounds delicious paired with bergamot. The composition was highly appreciated by women because of its floral heart with a pleasant and delicate fruitynote, as well as a musky trail.
The problem with "unisex" is usually that it is very difficult for the perfumer to please all users, and also to balance between male and female fragrances. But at Wild Piars, Pierre Montal managed to stay on the thin middle line. The wild pear is not exactly a sweet fruit. Her tartness and a certain brutality are quite suitable for becoming an ingredient in men's perfumes. Spicy clove and sandalwood are also considered classic masculine fragrances. Musk and vanilla give the whole composition a certain femininity and tenderness. Users almost did not catch the lily of the valley - only its light trace in the flower-fruit symphony.
Fragrance design
All perfumes of the Montal fashion house are packed in metal bottles with a branded pendant on the cap, made in the form of an octagonal star. "Wild Pear" was no exception. However, after reading the description of the Montale Wild Pears fragrance, buyers are determined to receive a bottle of juicy cheerful golden color. In fact, the fragrance is presented in a cold metallic shade, which does not quite fit with the contents of the bottle.
The bottle is packed in a black cardboard box, also standard for Montal. And that, in turn, is rolled into a mica shell. In addition, a silk bag with branded stars and monograms of the fashion house is included. The bottle is provided with a suspension. To distinguish the original from the fake, you should make sure that the cap on the bottle is not cast, but unscrewed. Except for the cold metalbottle colors, perfume packaging users really like.
The bottle is convenient to carry in a stylish silk case. The metal bottle prevents the penetration of sunlight to the liquid, so it does not change its smell and can be stored for a long time. The laconic design of the fragrance (without bows and ribbons) is fully consistent with the unisex perfume.
Olfactory image
What associations does the Wild Pears Montale perfume evoke? In reviews and descriptions of perfumes by users, you can often read that this is the fragrance of childhood. For some, it is associated with the pear fizz of Duchess water. This perfume takes many to a shady garden, where carnations and lilies of the valley grow under fruit trees. In principle, the olfactory image is very dependent on the time of year when the perfume is applied.
In the summer, it's a pear bag in a crystal vase, served under the canopy of trees somewhere in the country. In autumn, it is a park with a bench heated by the sun, on which it is so pleasant to rest and eat a grainy, not very sweet, but such a fragrant fruit. And in winter, it's sparkling mulled wine flavored with cloves, or baked pears with vanilla sugar, which you enjoy in a cozy little cafe.
Many users mention the positive vibe that the fragrance brings. It calms, returns to childhood, then to the atmosphere of comfort and home. However, these perfumes are far from retro style. The perfume makes its owner look younger, making him a little mischievous teenager.

Against the background of bergamot, cloves and lily of the valley, it appears juicy and refreshing, like a sip of ice-cold lemonade.
In winter, the fragrance sits close to the skin, warming only its owner with warm notessandalwood. But as soon as you enter the room, a powerful wave of pear and cloves with a musky substrate envelops you. The fragrance seems to explode, unexpectedly, with double strength.

How the fragrance unfolds
Don't let the simple name "Wild Pear" scare you, users assure in the reviews. Montale Wild Pears is not a cheap eau de toilette that sounds monotonous on one note. Yes, the pear smell appears immediately and vibrates to the very end, but other aromas are added to it throughout the entire symphony, which make the whole composition more multifaceted, more prominent, more interesting.

Smell withhalf an hour, and you will be convinced that the composition will turn to you with its other side.

A sophisticated and graceful duet replaces a powerful trio, creating a long, enveloping train. Warm sandalwood, sweet vanilla and precious musk complete the composition with quiet accords. But the "queen of the ball" is a ripe juicy pear with a wild tartness that binds all the ingredients into a single organic whole.
What fragrances does perfume look like
Based on the description of Montale Wild Pears, similar ingredients can be found in Ananda from M. Micallef. And Russian users often compare Montal's Wild Pear with Vanilla Pitahaya from Comtoire Sud Pacific and Sunflowers Summer Bloom from Elizabeth Arden. But, as we can see, in these two samples there is not even a trace of a pear - only a soft fruity sweetness, seasoned with a bit of spices. Vanilla and cloves in Montale's Wild Piers do not take the lead. They do not dominate the pear.
This fruit shows itself in the composition quite interestingly. At first, the pear sounds like a soda from childhood. Then notes of candy "Duchess" appear. And only then you can hear the astringency of the game and the pear puree of ripe pulp. Thus, it can be summarized that the fragrance is not like any other. At the same time, there is something in it that makes it a recognizable creation of the Montal house. Maybe it's the master's handwriting?

General recommendations
Many users got acquainted with Montale Wild Pears fragrance through blotters. Do not rush to evaluate perfume by the smell of a piece of paper! On the skin, it sounds completely different.

Spread the aroma, feel how the accompanying smells of bergamot, cloves, lily of the valley, sandalwood, musk are added to the pear and disappear. If you like it, buy perfume. But then again, users warn, perfume should be broken in like new shoes.
Modern manufacturers (especially niche perfumes) do not always use natural ingredients. At first, this syntheticity is a little felt. Give Wild Pear a chance to please you. Let the can stand with you for six months. Then all the components will firmly come into contact, and Wild Piars will surprise you with the natural aroma of lily of the valley, the juiciness of the pear, the warmth of sandalwood and the sweetness of vanilla. If you don't want to wait so long, get a casting, a sampler or a miniature. You should also be wary of fakes, because nowadays everything is faked, even selective perfumes.
