The top note of pear is very natural, thin, clear, and juicy. The pear note itself is not sweet. I could not locate the guava note. The tiare flower is gorgeous, potent, and sleek. The patchouli is mild. It's never intefering or to heavy. It barely even hints that it's there. The musk is strong, but gentle, airy. The honey is only noticeable, individually, at the very end of the dry down. However, from start to finish, the honey note is an important player, mixing in with all the other notes, lending some kind of sugary yet sublime smoothness to the whole composition. I'd suggest it can be worn any season.. in Spring, a Summer night, a Fall day or eve, or a Winter afternoon or for late night date.
One previous reviewer mentioned rootbeer! Oh, I can imagine it too. The perfume pops out of the vial with alot of energy and jazz, and there is an explosion of fruits, syrup, musk, and a touch of earthy tones, all melding at once. I can picture our favorite brown fizzy soda here too.
A few premature dabs here and there, and I thought this had potential to be my signature scent. Well, test day came, and it did not pass. It's not at all chypre. After some short time passes wearing the perfume, all the sensual luxury I had anticipated drowns in a thick coat of sugar, or perhaps butter cream frosting..hmmmm...butter cream frosting....
