Pear Glace by Victoria's Secret

One of my first VS body mists, which I remember with affection from a good millennium ago 🤣🤣🤣. Pure, juicy, sweet pear with absolutely no alcoholic notes, just fresh. When it launched, it was a novelty; nothing like it was available then, and it was a sensation. I’ve always preferred Strawberries and Champagne. Ideal for hot summer afternoons…

I had the VS Pear cologne in the early 2000s, or something like that; I don’t recall the ‘glace’ part (maybe it was on the bottle, but I’m not sure). I loved it. When I wear Donna Karan’s Be Delicious, it reminds me of this cologne. (Perhaps they don’t resemble each other at all, but it gives me the feeling of the same memory)

I remember it with fondness. It’s sensual pear. An aroma that captivates and is unique.

I don’t know why I haven’t reviewed this here before; it’s the worst smell I’ve encountered from VS so far, at least the old version. I had it around 2010 and still remember the scent; it borders on ridiculous in how synthetic it feels, like completely rancid pear. Oh no, a horror. I hope if this fragrance still exists, they’ve reformulated it for the better.

I see there are negative comments and reviews. To me, it’s absolutely delicious because perhaps the pear, chamomile, and aloe notes really stand out on my skin; I detected the different nuances. In the end, the blackcurrant and pear battle it out, fruit against fruit. It’s a matter of pH and personal taste. It suits me wonderfully, lasts for hours in a soft trail, and is perfect for summer; the heat makes it rich. Conversely, in cold times, it doesn’t have much splendour. It’s one of my favourites.

It’s a sweet and aquatic pear body splash; the pear predominates along with the chamomile, though synthetically. The pear is very perceptible with the heat and performs better. It’s sweet but not as sweet as other body splashes in the line; on my pH it’s quite strong, with a high trail and moderate longevity. In summer it’s unbearable, becoming very cloying; it’s more suited to temperate climates and younger girls. The reformulation has worse performance: the original lasted me 24 hours, while the reformulations last 3 to 5 hours. If you like pear, this is the one to choose; it’s extremely fruity.

It’s a potent fragrance with an aquatic pear scent and medium sweetness; the opening isn’t alcoholic, it has moderate sillage and lasts about three hours, making it suitable for summer and for people aged 18 and up.

It’s the VS line’s bargain-basement scent that smells most like a bargain. It’s pure pear, pear, and more pear. Yet, for some reason, it hooks me. I think I’m one in a million.

I confirm Jechucits and Jencompras87’s dislike; I can’t stand it either… it screams ‘cheap’ from every angle, smelling hyper-synthetic… in short, a resounding NO.

Horrible. I have it because my former boss gifted it to me and another colleague for our birthdays. What bad luck that I got this one, which is one of the worst in the line, while my colleague received the raspberry, which is the one I actually like. The pear is so overpowering and sticky that it drowns out the other notes. It smells like any cheap supermarket cologne.
