D’anjou Pear

The note unfolds with a captivating crispness, an almost palpable "snap" on the first encounter, immediately followed by a wave of succulent, dewy sweetness. It is distinct from other pear varieties; less overtly sugary than a Bartlett, possessing a delicate balance of verdant freshness and ripe, honeyed flesh. There's a subtle, almost champagne-like effervescence that lifts it, preventing it from ever feeling heavy or cloying. Its texture is smooth, with a hint of powdery refinement rather than a sticky syrup. Projection is typically moderate to good, a bright, inviting aura that doesn't overpower. As a top note, it bursts forth with invigorating juiciness, gradually mellowing into the heart where its softer, slightly floral undertones emerge, hinting at osmanthus or freesia. Its longevity is commendable for a fruity accord, often lingering pleasantly for several hours, a testament to clever blending rather than inherent base-note properties. It carries a clean, refreshing quality, a delightful blend of orchard fruit and a whisper of green. It lacks any overtly animalic, smoky, or metallic facets, instead offering a purely uplifting and natural sensation.
