Montale Wild Pears is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Pierre Montale. Wild Pears opens with Bergamot and Pear, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Montale's Wild Pears carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Divisive, to say the least. Wild Pears is a chaotic blend that promises juicy fruit but often delivers a powdery, screechy mess. Some find it a delightful, long-lasting pear bomb; others get baby wipes and despair. Definitely one to try before you buy a full bottle.

Its moderate sillage and unusual character make it a curious fit for office or formal settings. While some find it 'fresh' for casual wear or even the gym, its polarizing powdery aspects could be a gamble in close quarters, though the longevity means it'll stick around.

About

Wild Pears opens with a fleeting burst of bright, sweet pear and zesty bergamot, a tantalising fruity invitation. This quickly morphs, however, into a floral heart dominated by sharp carnation and delicate lily of the valley. As it dries down, a persistent powdery musk emerges, underpinned by creamy vanilla and a hint of warm sandalwood, often leaving a 'clean' but unexpectedly 'mature' impression.
