Pear Inc vs You

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.

Glossier You is divisive in the fragrance community, primarily due to its post-reformulation performance. While the scent profile itself receives praise for being pleasant and wearable, the drastically reduced longevity (often just minutes to hours) makes it a poor value at its premium price point. Performance varies significantly between individuals, with some reporting all-day wear while others describe it as a fleeting whisper, creating widespread frustration about quality control.
