Pear Inc vs Lost Cherry

The r/fragrance community loves Pear Inc's fresh, clean pear-forward scent and versatility for everyday wear, but frustration with its poor longevity (1-2 hours) and weak projection is nearly universal. Most agree the premium price point is difficult to justify given the performance issues, though the scent itself receives consistent praise when freshly applied.

Lost Cherry is widely praised as a beautiful, well-crafted cherry fragrance with excellent scent quality, but the community consensus is severely hampered by poor longevity and unjustifiable pricing. Most users recommend trying samples first, considering affordable dupes (Lovely Cherie, Not Another Cherry), or purchasing travel sizes rather than full bottles due to disappointing performance.
