First Impressions – Juliette Has A Gun, Nicolai Parfumeur Createur

In today’s blog post, my quick first impressions on a pair of pears. One I’m lukewarm on and one I liked. Let’s start with the dodgy one.

juliette has a gun – Pear Inc. – Alright, I’m fed up with this brand. It’s just the same old thing we’ve seen a million times before. We’ve even seen a similar scent to Pear Inc from JHAG before. It reminds me of their Moscow Mule mixed with Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue for Women. A wholly uninspiring musky, synthetic pear that is completely overpriced. Next.

Nicolai Parfumeur Createur – Angelys Pear – Angelys Pear is a far more substantial offering than Pear Inc. The chypre backbone of bergamot, oakmoss, patchouli, and floral notes, ensuring a much more enjoyable experience. The pear is both sweet and sour in parts without ever becoming cloying. If you’re a fan of Chanel scents like Cristalle EDT and Deauville, this one should be on your try list. It’s marketed as unisex, but I think Angelys Pear leans feminine. The light musky dry down makes for a perfect companion on warm weather days. Very nice.

Have you tried these new releases? What did you make of them?
