How it behaves in a formula
Across this library, Pear appears 4 times as a top note, 0 times in the heart and 0 times in the base. Placement is the single best predictor of what you will actually smell: top-note materials are high-volatility and gone within the hour, base-note materials are fixatives that define the final and longest phase of the wear.
Compositions containing Pear in this library average 9.8 hours of documented longevity, and skew toward spring and autumn wear. Treat that as a tendency of the fruity family rather than a property of the material alone — dose, supporting accord and concentration all move the result.

Lancôme
La Vie Est Belle
Floral Fruity Gourmand · Women
Developed by a trio of renowned perfumers—Olivier Polge, Dominique Ropion, and Anne Flipo—in 2012, La Vie Est Belle translates to 'life is beautiful' and represents a philosophy of joy and freedom. The fragrance opens with a bright, fruity collision of crisp pear and tart black currant. The heart introduces a rich, powdery elegance through natural iris pallida, balanced by luminous orange blossom and jasmine. The true core of the fragrance unfolds in the base, where an intense, addictive overdose of sweet praline, warm vanilla, and smooth tonka bean is anchored by clean patchouli. It established a massive wave of sweet gourmand fragrances in mainstream perfumery, offering massive longevity, high projection, and an unashamedly cheerful, comforting embrace.
Dior
J'adore
Floral Fruity · Women
Created by Calice Becker in 1999, J'adore is an ode to absolute femininity, opulent floral bouquets, and golden luxury. The fragrance opens with a luminous, succulent fruit cocktail of crisp pear, sweet melon, peach, and sparkling bergamot, balanced by fresh magnolia blossoms. The heart is a grand, masterclass floral arrangement featuring rare Grasse jasmine, star-studded tuberose, lily of the valley, and damask rose. The dry-down settles into a soft, sophisticated base of clean musk, subtle vanilla, and warm cedar wood. It projects an aura of polished elegance and timeless sophistication, making it an iconic staple for formal events and high-end daytime wear.
Givenchy
L'Interdit Eau de Parfum
Amber Floral · Women
Created by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo, and Fanny Bal in 2018, this modern reimagining of Givenchy's classic 1957 fragrance is an invitation to defy convention. The scent opens with a crisp, juicy burst of pear and bergamot. The luminous floral heart features a bold overdose of white florals including tuberose, orange blossom, and jasmine sambac. The dark, contrasting base merges earthy patchouli with smooth vanilla and ambroxan, creating an unforgettable trail of elegant defiance and luminous mystery.
Le Labo
Another 13
Amber Woody · Unisex
Developed by Nathalie Lorson in collaboration with AnOther magazine, Another 13 is a hypnotic and elusive composition built around a heavy load of synthetic animalic musk, ambroxan, and crisp pear. The fragrance opens with an unusual, clean metallic-fruity sharpness before melting seamlessly into the skin like a second nature. It creates an addictive, clean, and slightly hypnotic aura that smells uniquely personal to whoever wears it.
