Comes on juicy and fluffy before revealing its true character. Co-created by Allie Goodbun, a showgirl at an iconic Parisian cabaret, Pear Pavlova mirrors her qualities as a dancer: the duality of lightness with strength. Aquatic pear and airy meringue are anchored by musky ambrette seed and heady jasmine sambac to give it unexpected va-va-voom.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of someone who enters lightly and stays memorable: a bright, polished presence with a hint of mischief. It suits close conversation and warm rooms where the pear and meringue feel inviting at first, then turn more sensual as the musky base settles in.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its pear and meringue stay buoyant without becoming heavy. A moderate spray is enough; the opening reads airy and juicy, then the fragrance grows creamier and more musky on skin, with good projection and a soft, lasting trail.
Who it’s for
For people who like gourmand-fruity perfumes with a cleaner, more modern edge: sweet but not sticky, playful but not childish. It will appeal to those who enjoy pear, almond, musk and airy floral textures with a subtle woody finish.

The nose
Ashley Santiago. Santiago is a Paris-based perfumer known for a modern, ingredient-led approach that still feels wearable and direct. As the founder of French Cowboy, she shaped Pear Pavlova around contrast: brightness and softness at first, then a more textured, musky finish that gives the fragrance its unexpected depth.
Collaborators
Allie Goodbun, a dancer at Paris’s Moulin Rouge, co-created the fragrance and helped shape its balance of lightness, strength, sillage and longevity, bringing a performer’s sense of movement and presence to the final composition.
French Cowboy’s story
French Cowboy is built around accessible fine fragrance with a free-spirited, unpretentious point of view. The house pairs French craftsmanship with bold, contemporary ideas, and treats collaboration as part of the creative method, often working with cultural voices outside the perfume world.
Pear Pavlova’s concept
Pear Pavlova was conceived as a juicy pear-and-meringue fantasy with a more muscular core beneath it. The fragrance was developed over months with dancer Allie Goodbun, whose stage experience informed the tension between airy sweetness and a stronger, more persistent trail.
Extra info
Pear Pavlova is the inaugural fragrance from French Cowboy and is made in France at a 35% concentration. The brand describes it as vegan, and the composition includes unusual gourmand touches such as whipped cream alongside pear, meringue and ambrette seed.
Celebrity connection
Allie Goodbun is the key public figure associated with the fragrance, but as a co-creator rather than a celebrity endorser.
