English Pear & Freesia

Dupe Floral Pear opens with the same juicy, slightly green pear and melon combination that made the Jo Malone London original a modern classic, sweetened just enough to feel inviting rather than sharp. Through the heart, freesia and rose keep things soft and feminine, echoing the delicate, almost sparkling floral character the house is known for. Where it diverges is the base: instead of unfolding into a warm, tart rhubarb-and-musk skin scent that lingers for hours, this version settles quickly into a thinner amber-musk finish with far less persistence. The fruit and florals do most of the work here, staying pleasant and true to the original's spirit for the first couple of hours before fading into something much quieter. It suits daytime wear well - office, brunch, spring afternoons - though anyone chasing the original's longevity will likely need to reapply.
