Which Should You Buy?
A quintessentially fresh floral with juicy pear and airy freesia, this is the ultimate everyday fragrance for those who want to smell clean, elegant and quietly radiant.
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Jo Malone London's English Pear & Freesia (2010) - the Christine Nagel pear-freesia unisex cologne that became Jo Malone's most-loved fruity-floral, here translated into a King William pear opening over freesia with a patchouli-musk close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime unisex wear at a fraction of the designer-niche price.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Crisp pear, melon, and freesia make this scent supremely fresh and light, perfect for spring and summer. Its airy character is less suited to the cold of winter, but its gentle fruitiness can transition into early autumn.
Occasions
Soft projection and inoffensive freshness make it ideal for office and casual daily wear. It is subtly romantic for a date, but too sheer for formal events or intense enough for sport.
Seasons
Light pear-freesia structure peaks in spring and summer; autumn carries lightly. Winter off-season.
Occasions
Light fresh-fruity-floral unisex is built for casual day, office, and warm-weather date. Less suited to evening.
