  1. Fresh and sparkling fragrance, like a fine laundry cologne. The rose doesn’t dominate; it’s the pear and musk that stand out, sweet and wearable. I’d wear it all year round and for events. It dries down quickly, very musky and fresh; there’s an iris but it’s very soft. Haven’t figured out the longevity yet since I only have the travel size and I’m not sure if I’ll buy the full bottle.

  2. Creamy, in the style of Dior’s Joy, but with a touch of ripe pear. It’s enveloping, feminine, and serene without being loud.

    A friend gifted it to me. At first, I liked the EDT Fraiche, but it didn’t last on my skin at all; this one lasts a bit longer, especially on clothes, though not by much. Sometimes I layer it over L’Interdit Rouge, which tames the sharpness and makes it sweeter—I love that combo. Edit: Lately, I’m obsessed with roses that linger on the skin, last well on clothes, and feel intimate even if soft… I like that because I think leaving a bigger trail would be too invasive. It’s true it’s not incredibly new, but it smells great, it’s pretty, I like the bottle, and I enjoy it, and that’s what matters.

  4. One of my favorites from the collection. The rose and pear blend is delicious.

  5. I like it; it’s a delicate, tender, and feminine scent, where the sweetness of the pear and a subtle rose stand out against a musky base with a slight aquatic touch.

  6. I already have it in my collection. I love it; it’s sparkling, fresh with a very pleasant touch of sweetness, perfect for spring. I never get tired of smelling it, and finally, I’ll be able to enjoy it whenever I feel like it.

    It gives me nausea when I wear it; it’s super synthetic and sharp. It has rose, which I don’t like much, but this is another level of unbearable. Could it be the ambrette musk with the rose? I don’t know, but I can’t stand it.

    My grandmother gave it to me for my birthday, and it smells like ‘grandma’s perfume.’ It’s flirtatious and cloying, but lacks personality. The opening is exquisite, juicy pear in syrup, like the Cachantun pear water from my country. Once it dries down, the magic disappears, leaving a simple, boring pure musk. It lasted 4 hours with poor sillage; not worth spending so much on something so basic. The good thing is it works for any season.

  9. I have both the decant and the eau de toilette, and I prefer the bottle version. In the decant, I notice a note I don’t like (maybe the iris or the musk). Either way, the trail on my skin is almost non-existent.

  10. The perfect perfume for those who don’t like roses. Here, it smells fresh, feminine, and delicate; it’s exquisite. At first, you notice that unripe pear that gives it freshness, then the young rose appears, and throughout the life of the perfume, those enchanting musks emerge. Where I live, it can be worn all year round, though it seems ideal for spring and summer. I’ve had my bottle for over a year now, and its longevity has improved, lasting between 5 and 6 hours. It’s one of the few that has truly complimented me, although its sillage isn’t very wide.

  11. My latest obsession. It smells to me like bottled innocent femininity, like marshmallow, even though it’s not a declared note.

    I absolutely loved it; it smells like caramelized pear, very sweet. It lasted all day and has great sillage. ❤️😍

  13. Something weird happens with this perfume on me: it seems to fade quickly, but then people always tell me I smell good. It’s a pleasant scent, like wearing a luxury rose cream. Don’t expect a monster in projection or sillage, but others notice it. It would be perfect as a daily fragrance.

  14. I love it; it’s very long-lasting and the performance is great for the price. The opening is fresh and sweet with pear, then the iris comes through; I can smell it right away. It has nothing to do with La Vie Est Belle L’Extrait, although my nose gets confused for a second with the iris if I test them together, but they are distinct fragrances. Overall, it’s well-liked, nothing extraordinary, but very rich.

  15. It’s a beautiful and long-lasting perfume 🫶, sweet and easy to wear 🍀. However, it’s not for summer, but rather for autumn and spring 🪷.

  16. I love the scent; it’s gorgeous, though everything becomes noticeable after a while because the opening is almost imperceptible to me. It smells sweet, creamy, and clean. I love it, but I wish it lasted longer and had better projection 🙏🏻.

  17. I received a sample, and to me, it smells like sugared berries (strawberry, cherry), musk, and rose. It’s another princess perfume, evoking the color pink (like Idole, Tresor In Love, and a bit of Miss Dior 2021, though this is less sharp). I’m not being objective; I love the feminine style, musks, and powdery roses. It’s not very original, but to me, it’s rich and refined, even if it doesn’t last long. It’s a shy fragrance but not childish. I would buy it; it doesn’t kill me, it’s just a very pleasant aroma.

  18. I liked it a lot when smelling it in the bottle, but when I applied it, it smelled like regular conditioner; pleasant but unoriginal. At first, the pear stood out, but after 30 minutes, it turned horrible on my skin, like burnt hair; that lasted an hour, and then the dry down became more pleasant, very powdery. It lasted on my skin only 2 or 3 hours. I wanted to like it, but we weren’t compatible; it’s probably my pH. What a pity, I thought I’d like it for daily use because it’s casual and simple 🙁

  19. Starts with a gorgeous, dry pear note, then turns elegant and musky with iris. Reminds me of Ange ou Démon but drier. The downside is it lasts almost nothing; I barely smell it on my skin after 3 hours. What a disappointment from Givenchy. Maybe I’ll give it another try.

  20. I love it, smells delicious, but I can’t shake that baby wipe vibe in my head 😩

  21. I’m obsessed with the pear-rose-musk blend. It’s very commercial and pleasant—a dry, sweet, warm rose, super feminine and versatile, nothing vintage. You can buy it blind and it delivers (not beastly, but not disappointing either). In terms of scent, I prefer its flanker Eau Fraîche because it’s more sparkling, but for longevity, this one is worth it. It has moderate sillage and lasts about 7 hours on my skin. Think of it like natural makeup: it doesn’t try to grab attention, just highlights your own beauty, and it’s very agreeable…

    I’m fascinated by it, just like most Givenchy perfumes. It’s true that it’s not innovative, but it’s very feminine and instantly makes you feel good, cheerful, sweet, and delicate. I haven’t found another that smells the same (if I hadn’t bought it). It’s Givenchy quality, hard to find a dupe. What stands out most is the pear mixed with flowers. I was a bit disappointed by the sillage; the longevity is good (around 8 hours), but after two hours it becomes very intimate, which I don’t like because they’re expensive and deserve a broader development. That’s my only criticism. I consider it versatile, more for daytime; at night I’d apply something heavier. In short, a good fragrance for its ingredients, though something similar could have been done. Would I buy it again? Yes.

    Subtle and wearable, but not one of my favorites. I bought it as a decant, wouldn’t buy it in full size.

    It lives up to its name 100%, exquisite, full of flavor with an aromatic and sweet pear, youthful yet elegant depending on the occasion. Very versatile for cooler seasons, though for spring it’s a 10/10. Packed with bold notes, floral and sweet, but with brief woody points at the end that are noticeable. It’s irresistible!

  25. One of my favorites. It does justice to its name. Irresistible 😍. All the feminine, elegant, youthful, sexy, warm, sweet, fruity, and delicate vibes. In short, perfect ❤️. Beautiful bottle, perfect sillage and longevity. It accompanies me all day without being overwhelming and lingers until you shower the next day. One of the most flattering ☺️. Forget about how long it lasts on clothes. I love it and want to always have it ❤️

  26. Super feminine, you can smell the roses, sweet, with a powdery touch, making me think of those rose cupcakes at some bakeries 🧁. Skin fixation lasts at least 8 hours on me, and sillage is moderate. I see it as an ultra-feminine perfume with a youthful attitude, not necessarily for a young woman, but for a woman with that youthful and sweet attitude.

    Bought it blind and it was a total hit. I’m demanding and usually disappointed, but they nailed it. Irresistible is my favorite: starts with fruity notes (I smell pear and something red), then moves to an elegant, creamy rose, and finishes with vanilla that lasts for hours. The longevity is soft yet powerful, evolving all day and even into the next. The trail is delicate and elegant. Price-wise, everything is expensive in Argentina. It gives me vibes of the reformulated Miss Dior from 2017.
