Pearl Necklace

[Seajewel]

Skin musk dribbling with pear cream, orris root, vanilla bean, and raw honey.

Orris root is about 85% a death note for me and I'm always a little nervous ordering something with it, but I had to give this one a shot. Loud, sweet pear, and it smells realistic at the forefront of my nose, but when I get a deeper inhale, ehhhh there's the orris root. We'll see how this develops over time. The honey, vanilla, cream, and musk are thoroughly blended and no one note really peeks out over another, it's just a very nice undercurrent to the pear. As long as I don't inhale too deeply, the orris root behaves, but I'm going to be giving this one side-eye for a while.

In the bottle: Very sweet pears. Something else that is nice but not obvious.

 

Wet: Glorious pears, the sweetness of honey, and a touch of powder from the orris.

 

Dry: This leads with a wonderfully ripe Bartlett pear backed by the honey. Underneath that is the powdery beauty that is orris, a hint of vanilla, and the sharpness of unaged musk. That sharpness does not put me off especially since a bit of time will cause it to settle.

 

Pearl Necklace is one of those "I'm buying it on priciple" perfumes since I work with pearls and love the artwork. I did have high hopes for it since orris tends to work for me and I love pears so much I eat them whole, seeds and all. I'm really thrilled to have my expectations exceeded and can't wait to see how it ages. This is backup worthy.

Very pear! I sort of forgot that there was going to be pear in this one, hoping for much honey, skin musk and orris root... And it's okay! Still very enjoyable, just more pear than I was expecting. I get more fruit sweet than I do from the honey. It lasts wonderfully on me, so I think one bottle might be enough but we'll see.
