When I was a young teen, my grandfather planted a spindly little Bartlett pear tree in our backyard. As the years went by, we watched the fledgling tree grow large and leafy. Still more years passed before we saw blossoms, then finally fruit. Now our flourishing tree yields hundreds of pears each summer. In late July and early August, you’ll find my mom, along with several of her tall grandsons, picking bushels of the hard green fruit from Grandpa’s prolific tree. After a few days of storage in brown paper bags, the pears ripen, sweet and succulent. That’s when Mom’s work resumes. She spends countless hours paring, slicing, and simmering the pears into a delicious fruit sauce. The house fills with a delightful aroma and Grandpa’s loving legacy.
Here are a few delicate pear fragrances to try, along with their scent notes:
Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia – Sweet Pears, White Ffreesias, Wild Roses, Amber, Patchouli & Woods.
Marc Jacobs Pear Splash – Pear, Bergamot, Musk, Juniper, Teakwood, Freesia, Amber, Lemon & Gin
Laura Tonatto M’amo – Pear, Mint, Eucalyptus & Musk
L’Artisan Mon Nombre 1 – Pear and Mimosa
Annick Goutal Petite Cherie – Pear, Peach, Musky Rose, Fresh Cut Grass & Vanilla
When the days are sizzling, keeping cool is a priority. While some people steer clear of fragrances when the temperatures soar, I reach for my mints. The cooling tingle of a mint fragrance is always a treat on my skin. It’s best when newly spritzed, and later on, it’s nice to catch the drydown’s herbal whirl.
Here are a few of my favorite mint fragrances, along with their scent notes:
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mentafollia – Mandarin Zest, Mint Leaves, Rose, Jasmine, Green Tea & Cedar
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Menthe Moderne – Bergamot, Lime Peel, Spearmint, Green Tea, Peppermint, Petitgrain, Silver Fir, Violet & Virginia Cedar
Jo Malone Fresh Mint Leaf – Mint, Basil, Mate, Violet, Jasmine & White Musk
Gorilla Perfume Dirty – Spearmint, Thyme, Tarragon, Lavender, Sandalwood & Oakmoss
Philosophy Tea – LE & discontinued, no available scent notes. Spearmint predominates.
