Petite Cherie Annick Goutal

Source: parfumglamour.com

More fruity than floral and showcasing pear, I prefer Petite Cherie to other scents I've tried with pear in the notes as it's not too sweet (Montale's Wild Pears was candied pears on me and Slumberhouse's Pear & Olive didn't suit me at all, I'll politely say it was weird on me and not in a nice way unlike some other perfume-heads who got all sorts of loveliness from it) and what sweetness there is seems to come from the fruit itself rather than added sugar. The opening is sheer and fresh with fruit and green notes, rose is listed but I didn't detect any.

I enjoyed the first hour of Petite Cherie as opposed to the later part where it turned to a soapy pear, too soapy for my liking. It stayed this way for the rest of its eight hours on me, subtle but steadfast. My search for THE pear scent continues.
