I am in love with this totally, I am talking signature scent. It is soft and sweet and creamy and powdery and just so gorgeous!!! Pears, juicy, sweet,edible,sublime yet bold and staying in the forefront. I just can’t get over this smell. Dreamy!!!

GORGEOUS for a REFRESHING CHANGE! But only for 30 – 60 minutes 🙁
Blind bought some gourmands on a whim.
Reminds me at first of a sweet sparkling pear cider (non alcoholic) that dries down to Pear Tart with icing sugar after about 1 – 2 hours. Occasionally the Carnation waft overpowers the experience and makes it smell a bit like old fashioned hairspray.
Unfortunately after 2 hours the carnation dominates and all of what made it an awesome smell is gone almost completely making it just basically a carnation perfume or makes me smell like I just fixed my beehive hair do.
I do not get any incense at all, projection was minimal after 1 hour – so for me an interesting distraction but not a keeper – an EDP should work MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!
EDIT: I just read Eleni s review and it was exactly the same for me.

This is the only Montale I’ve tried so far and love…sweet and spicy pears…what isn’t there to love?…it’s not as big and monstrous and many of Montale’s other creations…worth seeking out if you like citrus and want to try something completely different…

This perfume was a blind buy online because of a really good sale so t took a chance. It is very strong from the start and has excellent projection at least 6 feet away. On me this perfume is not sweet at all it smells powdery, woodsy, and a hint of incense once it dries down only in beginning does the juicy fresh pears stand out. I really like this perfume! I live in the Arizona desert where it gets over 125 degrees so this perfume is a very strong scent in the heat. It is only in 90s in April but this perfume is a beast on me projecting so strong I will not wear it in situations where it could choke others as overwhelming. I highly recommend this perfume if you love Montele fragrances or fruity woodsy scents.

For me, this perfume smells precisely like a pear-sorbé that we were given as children during summertime. It smells like canned pears and carnations dripped in sweet sweet goodness. On me, the perfume changes during the day, with intermittent wiffs of the pear and carnation. The dry-down is a sweet mix of must and vanilla, while still remaining true to its initial spray in terms of fruitiness. Great staying power!
Mouthwatering!
kostiukoff – :
In this parfume i feel a distant scent of incense that is fantastic, the pear dominates but also the carnation, all combined in a sublime fruity/floral harmony. A scent that envelops and involves you. Overall i like it enough, not bad!

I don’t feel incense. I wish I would. For me this is a jammy pear body lotion. Pear is so fruity sweet for 1 hour until going down to a vanilla-musk base. Quite boring and linear.
If you like pear I would suggest looking at Miller Harris Pourier d’un Soir.
MaddoG37 – :
The name for this should be “Incense Pear”
All that i smell is incense and pear, but more incense than pear.
mubrig – :
My this transforms!
It started with a near perfect pear, like opening a jar of mom’s canning. The spice from the carnation and a bit of floral comes in and then joins with lily of the valley in soapiness.
There is also a creaminess. Whoever said it smelled like lotion was correct. This isn’t an edible creamy. This is something with shea butter and other creamy bits in it.
But it changes again, drying down to a musky vanilla.
The longevity was around 6 hours.
acoulaaccoume – :
Monsieur Montale perfectly balanced spiced pear fragrance. He usually does perfumes too heavy for me, but it’s quite a different one.
Crispy pears from the first minute…..mouthwatering! It is fruity, sweet, but not cloying or overwhelming at all. And when it settles it become a spicy almost tarty pear smell with only a little bit sandalwodd-musky undertone. I am totally in love with this.
Sillage is depends on how many sprays you use, but is stays strong, longetivity is 4-6 hours on me, than it goes back to a skincent.
Woosseskava – :
I feel this one as a pear-musky blend. In fact, even after several hours from first spraying it, I get no bergamot nor vanilla. Just plain pears in musk. To my nose, there is a vintage take to this fragrance as well… is it you, carnation??
Not bad for pear fragrance, not sure whether it lives up to Montale standard, though. I mean, there are so many Montale numbers with more twisted and complex and interesting pyramides to begin with…but if yoy are on a market for a good, non artificially-smelling pear-this one is for you. Staying power and sillage is notable.
IMV – :
The pears here are Ok but are sort of synthetically sweet at 1st as there are no accompanying fruits or bolder, richer notes to back it up.
It lacks zestyness theme or just any plain zestyness to balance out the synthetic part of the opening accord. This cannot be considered a straight-up freshy basically.
There’s a nice rich splash of good Quality bergamot that’s done very well to lend a freshening balance and lift the pears with the sweetness and it’s bordering nice for the 1st half hour but it never shakes off the strange synth-tanning lotion vibe.
Sadly, it then goes through it’s worst stage, ending up like a luminous, simple body lotion rather than sweetening up with a green pear contrasting a custardy vanilla – which is what I was hoping for.
I think hazelnut or another gourmand would have balanced this better but it’s not a bad scent.
It’s still better than Illuminum’s Ginger Pear but maybe it’s simply not my preferred fruit in a scent. I’d always like to go with blackcurrant or pineapple.
Later, the sandalwood gives a nice bit of boldness but really it’s not quite enough to justify an already pretty simple scent.
The real let down is the lack of a strong vanilla. Either boozy or full gourmand would have made a lot of difference but in the end the pear unsweetens and just fades into nothing which is not impressive.
My rating: 5/10.
JennaUshkowitz – :
Great scent, I did not expect that much of pear and I love that I was wrong.
At first there is just pear – juicy and ripe, not very fresh but sweet. It also is quite sugary, exactly like pear preserves. This note gradually, but quickly (about 5 minutes), fades into the background (especially the sugariness)and I get cloves, which is weird since they’re not listed. The clove scent morphs into mix of sandalwood and musk after about another 5 minutes with the comeback of pear. After that I did not smell pears exactly, but rather musk and general sweetness. This is what sticks for 5 to 6 hours and then the entire scent is mostly gone.
Not really unisex, because it smells sweet most of the time. The cool thing is that this would be really great if you had to run errands in the afternoon and then go straight to the party / dinner / night out. That’s because the sweet pear smell fits great for day use and the spicy musky finish is at home in a night setting.
Reccomend for all those who open a jar of pears in syrup and think “I love this smell”, and then don’t mind the spices and musk.
suckit – :
Oh my.. What a beauty . I have been curious aboout this one for a long time , The pear has always intreged me , a juicy pear straight from the tree whats better then that .
This on starts of with that , The crispenes the juicynes the swettnes put me straight back to my childhood ,climbing the trees to get to the wonderfull fruits ,scratching my knees on the way but who cares , you bite that pear its all heaven 🙂
The vanilla is defenetly there makes it feals like a desert , then the Musk and lily of the valley makes it a bit more soapy refreshing almsot like a hint of Bijan nude , honey like fruity at one stage .( just a bit similer not the same )
there is a slight floral feal here aswell ,but i cant say its carnation i smell , more about the lily of the valleys soapynes . I totaly love it , nead this in my life . Nead it right now 🙂

Wild Pears opens very sweet and syrupy. I smell fresh pears but also lots of other fruit notes, and a poof of musk. The bergamot makes it slightly bitter. Then woody notes appear and a while later sweet vanilla notes. The pear becomes more sweet and fruity than fresh now. After this the scent changes a bit and becomes fresher again, with some light woody notes underneath and a sweet vanilla in the background. The bitterness of the bergamot disappears now. The drydown is a deep sweet fruit syrup with light vanilla and wood in the base, and poofs of white musk on top.
I do get decent sillage and performance, both are moderate on me.
Sweet, sweet, sweet. Smells like cherry winegum candy, which is wayyyyyy too sweet for my taste in perfume, but this should be very suitable for sweet gourmand lovers! It is a warm scent. The pears disappear quite quickly on me, I don’t smell any after 15 minutes. I do smell candy, lots of it! Candy and musk.

SWEET CANDY PEARS
_______________________________________________________
I wanted to try some Montale fragrances today and was surprised to see that there is a fragrance called ‘Wild Pears’.
I tried it instantly. Just like the name migt suggest, pears burst out of the bottle. But it’s not pears, but candied pears. It’s quite sweet.
And the sweet doesn’t dry away. The pears fade away after a couple of hours, but the vanilla doesn’t. It begins sweet and fruity but the dry down is only sweet.
Overall: quite interesting scent
Opinion: I love pears – 8/10.
Longetivity: – 6/10
Sillage: – 6/10
All in all: 6 out of 10 points.
Patrik.V33 – :
Pears have a smooth scent, slightly sweet yet at the same time light. And Wild Pears captures that essence perfectly.
It opens with…Pears! Sweet and (at least to me) little boozy, perhaps because of the vanilla. The lime in the opening gives an uplifting kick to this fragrance.
even though it feels more like a feminine fragrance, the middle part with the sandalwood is more unisex.
Then the lily of the valley and musk take the whole thing to a powdery note, still with the pear as the main note.
I like it. Although I’m not sure if I can pull this one off, it definitely gives a more feminine vibe. It’s a fragrance worth to try. Thumbs up for quality, it develops slowly so it doesn’t go from the top notes to the bottom in 2 minutes, and because the scent matches the name!
lexsin – :
Aptly named. The beginning is a very sweet, candy, almost but not quite juicy pear. Smells very jolly rancherish to me. Actually to go off on something else for a second smelling this, id really like montale to make a cherry, blueberry, or hell maybe even grape version of this. Wouldnt mind having a jollyrancher sorta smell of those. I feel it would have a little more novelty factor to make it more worth it myself. But I digress…
Anyway as it dries down it basically turns into a very dry musky pear. And loses its super sweet, candyness…
Smells well enough. Although besides the fact that personally I find it pretty feminine I just cant see myself ever wearing it. For what its worth in terms of some of the other montales its longevity and projection are not as beast mode as well and just alright on my skin.
pbwp85 – :
So lovely. I really didn’t expect it to be so lovely.
When talking about pears in perfumes nowadays they’re often used in overly sweet compositions. One of them I own; J’aime nuit from La Perla.
This smells like a soft summer shower however. Even though you used strong smelling shampoo and body wash, they were of high quality ingredients and the soft summer breeze makes it smell al so natural. The pear is so lovely you want to eat it with your lungs. I can’t help but inhaling it deeply.
Again: very very nice.
sereja30 – :
Oh that is so beautiful. The first blast just knocked my socks off! Unfortunately the intensity of the pear gets remarkably weaker after a half an hour. And with it dissapears the big part of the specialty. But I still want it. the first sniff is worth it all.
Longevity on me is around 9 hours.
lorri – :
Interestingly, overwhelming mixture of Pears Juicy and well Creamy Sandalwood. I am very good on the skin so it has a strong projection in 30min after application then softens. I dig that, yes sir!
I rank it like this:
Smell: 9.5/10
Projection: 7.5/10
Longevity: 7.5/10
dashylia-soldunova – :
Wild Pears has arrived and here’s the verdict: This blind buy paid off! I really like the fragrance, it’s fresh, fruity and perfect for summer. I am a man and I can let the other men (and women) out there know that this one is completely unisex. It’s a luscious, juicy pear that is quite vibrant on application, the scent reminds me somewhat of a room spray my mother uses, it settles down into a fresh pear with an underlying of something sweet that could be caramel or brown sugar. I’ll definitely be using this one through out summer.
I would have to add (as an edit) that this perfume is quite room spray-ish. Not a cheap and nasty dollar shop room spray but room spray all the same. I might have gained this one through a blind buy but I would suggest that others try first.
AlexLinc – :
This smells like true candied pears.
dalai-lama20 – :
My favorite fruit was the Packham pear when I was a little girl. My father always bought the ripest he could get because I love my Packhams soft, sweet and juicy.
When I first opened the box my decant came in, the smell of the ripest, juiciest Packham pear came wafting out of the box.
On the skin, the ‘pearness’ of it produced a slightly plastic smell. As it dries down in about 10 minutes, I’m getting a perfumey soap scent as well. Adding this to scentless lotion and then applying it to my skin takes away the plastic note and reduces some of the sweetness. The lotion also helps to stretch the longevity of the perfume from a meagre 2 hours to at least 4 hours. Sillage is about an arm’s length for me.
Vital2011 – :
Natural sweet pears in syrup, like a fruit cocktail or pear cordial, with white musk and hints of sweet vanilla. A very fruity, lightly musky and slightly floral scent; a great pick me up during summer.
Fruity goodness that lasts for hours!
Score 6.5/10
LearoPayovava – :
this is nice pear scent for summer. i like it a lot
75575 – :
The best real pear scent I met until now! Mmmm, yummy. The ripe pears last about one hour on my skin, after that comes powdery roses smell for a while, maybe for two hours and then it is all about musk, fresh and clean.
I wished, it would last longer on my skin than 4 hours. Good daily scent and good for winter.
The flacon is light like feathers and protects the juice from the sunshine, but with the star logo on it and the spray mechanisms reminds me more on a modern weapon (hand grenade) than a flacon. Even if the flacon is very practical, I don´t love it.
el5902 – :
Mmmm this is such an interesting scent, agreed it’s exactly what it is Pears. I just got this today the opening on me at first reminds me of a nice sweet wine (this is nice if you like sweeter scents) it’s has just enough sweetness w/o being overly sweet. && as it dries down it smells kinda soapy just a really beautiful fruity soap. I will add that this is one of those scents you deff. have to try out first…How I described it smelling on me might not necessarily smell the same on you, for instance my manager loves how differently it smells on me, she says she doesn’t like it on her skin b/c it just smells like a really sweet fruit salad. I also get a nice spiciness that makes me feel it’s pretty suitable year round like how spiced pears on the holidays && I can also pick up the vanilla on the dry down. It really is a unique fragrance It has a nice && lively freshness to it && when I have it on I can’t help but keep sniffing myself, && to think I almost overlooked this one. 🙂
FENIKS – :
This is exactly what it says it is and that’s one of the things that I love about it.
The pear is sweet but not overly so with a lovely fresh feel.
Beautifully done but my only gripe is, I wish it lasted a little longer but I will certainly be buying myself a bottle for summer.
domaha – :
To me this closely resembles Petit Cherie. It doesn’t smell bad but it just smells like fresh pears to me…and nothing else. It only lasted about 2 hours on my skin so it’s not worth the price to me.
Lindes – :
This one feels like roasted pears on my skin. Mild, slightly smoky with hint of sweetness (like their own fruity sweetness is caramelized).
Four hours later is like expensive body lotion. The scent is noticeable without being insolent.
I can’t detect anything artificial in Wild Pears. Love it.
Naxtnigel – :
This is sweet pear compote.I feel like I eat it:)Compote full of musk with sweet pears and handful bergamot.
