Asian Pear
Ariana & Evans
Founded in 2017 in Ansonia, Connecticut, Ariana & Evans is the passion project of fragrance auteur Peter Charkalis, its name blending his own and his daughters’ middle names. Guided by the Japanese principle of kaizen—continuous improvement—Charkalis brings an eclectic, globe-spanning sensibility to scents that are bold, sophisticated, and delightfully unconventional. Standouts such as Baklava, Plum & Bliss, Chasing the Dragon, and Khalifa showcase inspirations drawn from world cuisine and culture. In 2024 he introduced Maullu, a premium line co-created with acclaimed Italian barber Daniele Maullu, further elevating the brand’s commitment to top-tier ingredients and artistry.
Scent Description
Asian Pear is a joyous and sophisticated tribute to the luscious sweetness of sun-ripened pear. Juicy pear is elevated by the brightness of bergamot and the lush depth of sun-dried fruits, while delicate jasmine folds seamlessly into the composition to create a sensuously sweet, floral bouquet—light, tantalizing, and perfectly suited to the warm months of summer.
Subtle undertones of tobacco and coffee lend warmth and earthiness, while tonka bean imparts a honeyed richness. At the base, sandalwood and cedar provide a smooth, grounding foundation, adding depth and elegance to the fragrance’s arc.
Overflowing with sumptuousness—bordering on decadence—Asian Pear is unapologetically expressive, much like a blossom releasing its perfume into the air. It is a rare combination: fresh yet gourmand, airy yet impactful, tropical yet comfortingly familiar. Fun, youthful, and undeniably alluring, Asian Pear is a fragrance that feels equally at home in casual daytime wear or more polished evening occasions.

Base Description
Like everything about Ariana & Evans, the K2e base is unique and offbeat with unconventional ingedients including Goats Milk, Emu Oil, Yogurt and Colloidal Oatmeal. The result is a rich, yogurty lather which is dense, has ample cushion and stability, and decent slickness. The soap smacks of quality and makes for a luxurious shaving experience.

Excellent base, very nice fragrance
I have this soap and splash from A&E as well as other of their Asian themed fragrances. Very top notch. I completely enjoy them. The lather is one of the best I have used and the fragrance is mesmerizing.
