Angelys Pear

For Patricia de Nicolai, nature is the ultimate inspiration. And few fragrances are quite as regal, as inspiring, as downright mouthwatering as the pear. Since its introduction to Europe from Asia during Roman times, this uniquely complex fruit has been treasured, considered a "fruit of the castle" and a sign of high social distinction. It's this inspiration, specifically as it relates to the Loire Valley of France, where both delicious pears and great castles abound, that serves as the focus of Angelys Pear, named for both the Loire city of Angers, and the lys, the symbolic flower of French kings. And the scent itself? A divinely sweet and juicy pear note, enhanced by a bouquet of rose and jasmine, highlighted by invigorating oakmoss that suggests a hint of a classical chypre. Ephemeral and serene, full of purity, light, and calm, this eau de toilette perfectly illustrates the fabled bounty of the Loire Valley.
