English Pear & Freesia Special-Edition

Very surprised to see how divisive this perfume is. To me this smells bright, fizzy, sparkling and alcoholic, and the actual notes I'm reading as pear and vaguely floral. But not white floral like the soapy kind of perfumes, J'adore etc, though this one has sth ever so slightly soapy. Above all, this perfume smells like some kind of sweet cider oder fruity beer, or a fizzy apple juice maybe. I love it for sunny summer events, where a slightly alcoholic scent isn't totally out of place. But I'm always careful not to spray too much, I find this has surprising sillage and longevity and the fizziness actually stays the whole way through. I'm always a little worried it will tilt into smelling as if I've actually gone on a bender. In the right dose, it's striking a delicate balance between smelling summery and festive, and sticky and drunk.

English Pear & Freesia by Jo Malone is a well blended fragrance that has notes of pear, freesia, musk, and woods to my nose. These notes give it a clean, soft and fruity/floral profile. Very pleasant, but also very generic. It pretty much does exactly what it says on the tin. To me, this is a classic Jo Malone type of fragrance: soft, understated and incredibly easy to wear, but with almost no sillage and fairly weak performance. There’s nothing particularly groundbreaking or challenging here. It’s pleasant, inoffensive and nicely put together, but ultimately feels like your standard, run-of-the-mill Jo Malone fragrance. Still nice, just nothing I’d get particularly excited about. 7/10

This is by far my favourite fragrance from Jo Malone. It's an amazing fruity and floral scent, with the freesia perfectly complementing the fruity freshness of the pear, which gives off an elegant yet clean vibe; one where you wake up in a beautiful flower garden. This is easily a signature scent, and u can wear this year-round for sure; the top note is this effervescent pear note, which is juicy and amazing, with the freesia in the back. The middle note is where this shines as it settles and becomes more of a skin scent where you smell fresh floral and elegant; the base notes are the same but a bit deeper.

I was looking everywhere for a spring/summer scent and I found this one, and oh boy, I totally fell in love. This is a mood booster, flowers, fresh, sweet. I'm wearing sunligt when I put on this fragrance. It's lovely, I'm so happy with this purchase. My mother didn't like it, I feel that this may not be for everyone as well hahaha but it was love at first smell for me. It lasts ok in my skin, as the days are warn right now. Either way, I'm sure I'll continue to repurchase and I'll even look into more Jo Malone fragrances. I'm basic, but I smell divine hehehe.

I believe this scent is rather beautiful yet just wish it lasted a tiny bit longer... I get 5 (6 if I'm luckly) hours on my skin. This fragrance is a beautiful imagery of dewy florals and ever so slightly sweet fruits. This fragrance is a great aftermath after taking a nice shower because the perfume itself is reminiscent of high end shampoo and will have you smelling effortlessly classy. This perfume has a very old money quiet luxury vibe that contradicts heavy new money scents that are very oud heavy. Beautiful but alright silleage and longevity.
