“Sweet pear in a leather jacket — it works, and you were surprised it worked.”
A pear-and-vanilla composition with a leather edge — Quentin Bisch and Sonia Constant's 2019 launch for JPG, the founding entry in the La Belle line. Pear at the top, a leather heart, settling on a vanilla-musk drydown. Fall and winter, leans evening.
The take
What works
- ●Pear-leather pairing is an unusual and flattering combination for a mainstream feminine
- ●Vanilla-vetiver base gives it warmth that doesn't overwhelm
- ●Well-rounded performance for the price
Trade-offs
- ●Leather note is delicate — barely registers on some wearers and skin types
- ●Doesn't push far enough into its own identity to fully justify the collection launch
