The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Marc Jacobs and crafted by perfumer Honorine Blanc, Splash The Pear 2008 is a vibrant Aromatic Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and sweetness. The pear at its core is bright and lively, balanced with citrus notes like bergamot and lemon that add a zesty contrast. This composition moves into a heart of freesia, which softens the fruitiness with floral grace, while musk and amber provide a warm, powdery finish. Teak wood rounds out the base, adding depth without overpowering the lighter top notes.
One spray is enough to capture its essence. The pear and citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so apply it closer to skin for a more intimate experience rather than trying to fill a room. It pairs well with daytime activities and can be layered subtly for evening.
