Hexyl Acetate - 250
Hedione - 200
Benzyl Acetate - 120
Rose EO - 100
Bergamot EO - 100
Helional - 100

Freesia EO - 30
Hydroxycitronellal - 10
Alpha Damascone - 7
Rose Oxide - 2.5

I can't add more flavoring because I'm afraid the top note will collapse, but when I make it 15%, it lasts too short

And it smells like medicine, but I don't know why

Hi, Whatever is labelled as Freesia EO, is fake.
lose the Calone.
too much rose and PEA.
not enough greens.
How about some pear ester?

You need something like Peranat as a mainstay in the formula. (Although there are several other similar ACs) Maybe with some Leafovert (Liffarome) or Pear Ester (ethyl deca-2,4-dienoate).
That and the alpha-damascone is what the pear is going to mainly revolve around (although you don't need much damascone since it is potent at low levels).
The traditional AC in a pear smell was ethyl butyrate. Also there is isopropyl methyl-2-butyrate as an alternative.

Small amounts of beta-ionone can also help in the formula (although is not distinctly pear in smell).

Or you could also just consider a Pear Key accord, or pear base.

I think your formula has too many unnecessary things, or has other things at levels that are much too high, if you want the smell of pear.

Also, Helvetolide can be a good choice for a musk if you are desiring a pear smell. However, choosing to include it is not really the most important thing, nor should it be relied upon as the main source of a pear smell, and there are several other much more important issues in your formula you should give attention to first before worrying about that.

Ebanol can go off & give a nasty scent. Maybe this is related to your "medicinal". And BTW, I agree with Parker above that you should first perfect your "pear" accord on its own, before surrounding it with other stuff (musk, wood, amber, floralizers, etc) to turn it into a complete perfume. And that is an absolute shitton of helional & calone...
