Origin

The name refers to the Williams pear, also known as Bartlett pear, a widely cultivated pear variety used as the reference fruit in fragrance accords. In perfumery it is usually recreated with fruity esters and related materials rather than extracted as a single natural ingredient.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers place Williams Pear mainly in the top note or the transition between top and heart, where it can brighten floral and fruity compositions. It pairs well with berries, apple, citrus, white florals, musk, and light woods to suggest fresh fruit without becoming syrupy.
