PEAR ACCORD

In this class, we will explore the pear accord as a study in balance, subtlety, and modern fragrance aesthetics. As consumers increasingly gravitate toward fragrances that feel light, clean, and approachable, pear has become a popular note for its fresh, juicy appeal. Yet despite its popularity, pear is deceptively complex: it must convey both crispness and softness, juiciness and airiness—without tipping into artificiality. The challenge of constructing a compelling pear accord raises important questions about tone, realism, and texture in contemporary perfumery.

This in-person session offers hands-on guidance for building a pear accord that is bright, diffusive, and textural. You’ll explore the core materials typically used in pear accords and learn techniques for adjusting sweetness, juiciness, and transparency. We’ll address common challenges such as avoiding soapiness or flat, one-dimensional results. A breakdown of key ingredients will be followed by guided formulation exercises, group discussion, and dedicated Q&A time. Whether you're aiming for a naturalistic fruit note or a stylized, modern interpretation, this class will deepen your understanding of how to craft a pear accord with clarity and character.
