The story behind the bottle.
English Pear & Freesia by Jo Malone London was launched in 2010 and is a Chypre Fruity fragrance for women. Created by perfumer Christine Nagel, this scent opens with the freshness of pear and melon, leading into a heart of freesia and rose that balances sweetness with floral elegance. The composition rounds out with musk, patchouli, rhubarb, and amber, grounding the fruit and flowers in a warm, inviting base.
Jo Malone London is known for its British heritage and approachable luxury, and English Pear & Freesia embodies this ethos perfectly. It's a fragrance that feels both familiar and uplifting, making it a go-to choice for those seeking a blend of freshness and comfort.
This fragrance has a quick-drying top note that fades within an hour, so reapply every two hours for continuous freshness. The musk base lingers closer to skin than projecting into the air, making it ideal for daytime wear in cooler weather.
