Pear Gelato vs Tobacco Vanille

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.

Tobacco Vanille is a highly polarizing fragrance that divides the community. Fans praise its warm vanilla sweetness and longevity, while detractors find the tobacco note too reminiscent of cigarette smoke, particularly if they grew up avoiding secondhand smoke. Performance and tolerance appear to have declined with reported reformulations.
