Pear Gelato vs Lira

Pear Gelato has an attractive creamy fruity opening that quickly disappears, transitioning into a soapy drydown that disappoints many wearers. The fragrance is notable for its opening burst but lacks longevity and coherence, making it a risky blind buy for most collectors.

Xerjoff Lira is a polarizing gourmand fragrance that impresses devoted fans with its delicious cake-like scent, interesting supporting notes, and strong projection, but frustrates others with its cloying sweetness, play-doh undertones, and high price-to-performance ratio. Community consensus is that it's excellent for gourmand enthusiasts who enjoy extremely sweet fragrances and don't mind moderate longevity, but requires careful sampling before purchase.
