Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - English Pear & Freesia EDC
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sweet Bliss EDP
A wallet-friendly nod to Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia. Sweet Bliss nails the juicy-pear-and-freesia opening, but the rhubarb-amber drydown that gives the original its polish flattens out, and it sits closer to the skin than the boutique version.

Season and Occasion Fit

English Pear & Freesia

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Best For:
Office Date Casual

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.

Sweet Bliss

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Crisp pear and fresh freesia make this a natural spring and summer daytime scent, with enough soft warmth to carry into early autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Clean and inoffensive, it suits the office, casual daytime and easy dates more than formal evenings.
