English Pear and Freesia Cologne – Jo Malone

Posted by dulwichmum on Sat 18 September 2010

Name of product: English Pear and Freesia Cologne – Jo Malone

Price: £34 for 30ml, £68 for 100ml

The blurb: “The essence of Autumn, English Pear & Freesia is an evocative fragrance that captures the scent of just-ripe pears, cooled by the air, ready to twist free from the tree. The surprising, sensuous freshness of sweet pears is wrapped in a bouquet of white freesias, on a subtle background of scrambling wild roses and skin-warming amber, patchouli and woods”

First impressions: The packaging is elegant and simple (black & cream with black ribbon in a bow). It smacks of luxury. The glass bottle is heavy and is a beautiful addition to any woman’s dresser. Is it wrong to be so in love already with the look and feel of a bottle of perfume? If yes then I’m guilty! Once I smelt the sublime combination of perfectly blended pear, flowers and amber my love could not be denied

Ease of Use: Unlike some perfumes the lid is sturdy yet stylish in monochrome silver and glides on and off without a hitch. Push and you’re ready to go impress

Pros: Every time I wear this scent I get compliments on how lovely I smell, this could get me into trouble, I’m a married woman don’t you know! Sorry that was meant to be in the cons section!

Cons: You’ll want them ALL. I want to try Fragrance Combining TM, combining a different body crème and the English Pear and Freesia to create a unique fragrance. This woman is a genius!
