If you have read my review of the Wood Sage and Sea Salt cologne of Jo Malone, then you must know how much I love this luxury brand. The USP of Jo Malone’s colognes are that they all carry the freshest, unique and elegant aura about them. One thing about a good perfume is that it always gives a little boost to your confidence and makes you feel good about yourself. I feel that most of the Jo Malone colognes that I have tried, all of them had that kind of quality to be a signature scent. The Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia is not an exception either. I got a trial version of this one when I purchased a full bottle of the Wood Sage and Sea Salt cologne and decided to buy it instantly. So, finally I have added the travel version (30ml) of the English Pear and Freesia cologne to my collection.

Price and Quantity:

The Jo Malone London English Pear and Freesia Cologne comes in 2 sizes, 30 ml and 100 ml. They cost Rs 5900 and Rs 11800 respectively. I bought the 30 ml bottle from Tira. Got a good discount of around Rs 1000. They are available on Nykaa too.

Description:

Command attention effortlessly with the Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia Cologne.

My take on the Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia Cologne:

Jo Malone is a luxury British brand known for their colognes, candles and bath and body products. Interestingly all their fragrances are actually colognes. They do not sell EDTs or EDPs as far as I know. I read that although their products are all Eau de Colognes, the percentage of perfume oil is somewhere in between EDT and EDPs. However, after using it I beg to disagree with this information. More on this later. I got a some sample vials of their other EDCs too and I felt their fragrance profile is very unique and delicate. Something which is very fresh and airy and uplifts your mood instantly. They have the potential to be your signature scent. They have body-creams, body and handwashes based on each of their fragrance profiles so that we can layer them up to have a long lasting impact.

Their packaging is very classy and minimalistic. All the EDCs have silver metallic cap with a transparent glass body. Only the ‘intense’ variation of their colognes come in a black or dark chocolate bottles. The outer packaging has their signature cream and black box, tied with a black luxurious ribbon.

Now coming to the English Pear & Freesia Cologne, the fragrance makes me feel instantly energized. It is quite different compared to the woodsage and sea salt cologne. It has a sweet, ripe fruity punch to it along with the freshness of delicate Freesia. There is a hint of Patchouli but not too overpowering. It has definitely a young feminine vibe, so, I would not call it a unisex cologne. I prefer to wear it during daytime. It is perfect for office wear as well as for a day out. It can be worn all year round but I think this is more suitable as a spring-summer wear.

This cologne does not have the main problem that I faced with the woodsage and seasalt cologne, its horribly less staying power. It has outshined most of the perfumes in this category. It stays for hours on my skin and on my clothes and I can smell it for days.

I really loved this scent. Its juicy yet delicate fragrance makes me a happy soul and instantly gives me a mood boost. If you have tried this cologne, please let me know your views in the comments section.
