JO MALONE LONDON ENGLISH PEAR AND FREESIA COLOGNE {REVIEW}

Considering the vast array of fragrances that 

JO MALONE LONDON

 have in their "fragrance stable" I have only ever found 2 that have

 truly unleashed my fragrance love and adoration;

Wood Sage & Sea Salt Click here

  Granted I haven't tested them all yet, so my journey with 

JO MALONE scents continues.

However with a recent JO MALONE order that I placed online I was 

gifted a rather cute 9ml spray size of their popular 

English Pear & Freesia Cologne

and Freesias just happen to be my favourite scented bridal flower.

I had freesias in my own bridal bouquet along with roses and still

to this day they both remain my favourite flowers.

English Pear & Freesia sounded like a match made in floral heaven.

JO MALONE describe this combination as 

The essence of autumn. 

The sensuous freshness of just-ripe pears is 

wrapped in a bouquet of white freesias, and mellowed by amber, 

patchouli and woods. Luscious and golden.

Top Note:

King William Pear

An unusual, innovative ingredient, this accord of mellow scented fruit is 

fresh and ripe with a juicy facet.

Heart Note:

Freesia

Quintessentially English, cool white freesias imbue the heart of the fragrance

 with a delicate yet distinctive scent.

Base Note:

Patchouli

A sensuously deep, woody note that enhances the longevity of the fragrance.

For the lovers of the English Pear & Freesia scent there is an 

extensive collection of scented products including: a Home Candle, 

Body Cream, Fragrance Diffuser, Body & Hand Lotion, Bath Oil

and a Body & Hand Wash, Hair Mist and a Hand Cream.

Unfortunately for me, this combo was not a match made in floral heaven,

as I found the fragrance was more dominant with the soft pear notes

 than my beloved bridal freesias.

Despite being classified as "Fruity" this isn't your usual fresh, citrus, 

sparkling, fruity offering, for me it leans towards being a more delicate 

floral scent.

I personally found the lingering woody base note of Patchouli

to offer little longevity, as on "moi" it soon faded.

As I've said in numerous fragrance reviews, it's all a matter of personal

taste (not literally) and sadly the rather nondescript 

English Pear & Freesia 

was not for me, so for now my JO MALONE "loves" still remain at two...
