Just-ripe pear, white freesia, patchouli
English Pear & Freesia is a Cologne from Jo Malone London, composed by Christine Nagel and released in 2010. The brand pictures an orchard in golden sunshine: just-ripe, juicy pears wrapped in cool white freesias and rooted in patchouli. With one note on each level, it is simple to understand, and a 10 ml decant shows whether it is for you.

How it unfolds
-
Williams pear
The only top note is Williams pear. The brand calls it a mellow accord of scented fruit, fresh and juicy rather than sugared. On a sample the first impression is a ripe pear that is easy to recognise, and you will know straight away whether you like fruit in a perfume.
-
Freesia in the heart
Freesia is the heart, described by the house as a cool white flower and quintessentially English. It makes the pear feel softer and more floral, with a clean freshness. This is the stage where the scent moves from fruit to flower, and where it feels most like a spring garden.
-
Patchouli to ground it
Patchouli is the one base note, and the brand uses it to root the scent. It adds a gentle earthy depth under the fruit and flower, so the whole does not float away. Wait for this stage on skin to see how much weight it gives the pear.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Put the decant on clean skin on a mild spring or summer day, and wear it to work or on an everyday errand. Check the pear first, then the freesia as it settles, then the patchouli. As a Cologne it is light, so you may want to reapply during your test day to judge it fairly.
Who it is for
For people who like fresh, fruity scents that are easy and unfussy, and who enjoy a simple structure of one note per stage. It is unisex and suits daily wear and office days in spring and summer. It will appeal to anyone who has been curious about this house's bestsellers.
Why try Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia as a sample first
This is one of the house's bestsellers, but popularity does not tell you how it will feel on your skin, and fruit notes can turn sweeter or sharper from person to person. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample, and Jo Malone London is not involved.

Frequently asked
What is in an English Pear & Freesia sample?
A 10 ml decant in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original Jo Malone London bottle and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample, and the house is not involved.
What is a Cologne?
The name Jo Malone London uses for its regular line. It is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, which suits the fresh, fruity style of this scent.
Is it a sweet scent?
Fruit gives some sweetness, but the brand describes fresh, juicy pears and cool freesias, with patchouli giving depth. It is more fresh than sugary.
Who created it?
Christine Nagel is named as the perfumer, and the house's own product pages date this scent to 2010, which is also the year of its release.
The brand
About Jo Malone London
Jo Malone London writes its perfumes short: every product page gives one top note, one heart note and one base note, and the scents are meant to be combined with each other. The London house sells them as Cologne and as the richer Cologne Intense. Because the idea is to wear two at once, samples make particular sense here: a few 10 ml decants let you test each scent alone and then layered, on your own skin.
- A London house that describes itself as a British lifestyle brand
- Two formats: Cologne and the richer Cologne Intense
- One top, one heart and one base note are named for every scent

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
