English Pear & Freesia

English Pear & Freesia by Jo Malone is a feminine-leaning eau de cologne from 2010 in the premium price tier. It opens with pear and melon, moves into freesia and rose and dries down to patchouli, musk and amber. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Melon Soft, watery sweetness. Often paired with aquatics.

Heart

Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Dry-down

Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
