What Reddit owners say
3/5 ProjectionCompliments“she was very kind and polite and let me know her fragrance was English Pear & Freesia by Jo Malone.”
5/5 SweetnessFresh & clean“Mines so basic but its definitely the Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia for me! I've been using it for years and have tried out other fragrances here and there but will always come back to this one! I love how sweet and fresh it smells ☺️”
4/5 Fresh & cleanValue“English pear and freesia is the most highly recommended on this sub but idk if I've ever seen anyone suggest blackberry and bay or nectarine blossom and honey.”
4/5“Ok I just sampled the three I have that match your options. Wood sage is not at all my taste. Very masculine and heavy to me. I know these are for everyone, but it's just not for me. English pear and freesia is nice! And peony is nice too! Lighter scents that would work in any situation.”
4/5 WinterFall“I have Beach Blossom, Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Yuzu Zest, Nectarine Blossom & Honey, and English Pear & Freesia, so...no fall winter JMs lol. Great rec, tyvm!”

5/5“Opposite answer but I love Tabacco Vanille. Smelled it on a girl and it didn't please me… like it's too manly. But I wear English pear.”
2/5 SweetnessFresh & clean“could be that one but the fig might be a bit too sweet for what youre describing. if its got that clean musky vibe with some green notes maybe try sniffing around some of the other jo malone ones like wood sage or english pear. those terrace moments are the worst when you catch something amazing but cant pin down who was wearing it”
3/5 Fresh & clean“I don't like the Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia. I thought it would be my soft and fresh fragrance and nope. I am just bummed out about it. I also thought I'd like Burberry Goddess Intense and bought it but never used it. It's just got that dept store dna.”
4/5 LongevityCompliments“I get so many compliments when I wear English Pear. It smells light and fresh and last all day.”
2/5“Yep, I find it too strong and floral. Blind bought full size Peony and Blush Suede because I generally like the Jo Malone fragrances I've tried. Didn't work for me at all. It came with an English Pear and Freesia sample, didn't like that either.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I picked up English Pear and Freesia in a blind box. I was expecting it to be more floral. It smelled like neither pear or freesia. It was just kind of an aromatic wood patchouli.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“The moment I wore English pear from jo malone, compliments poured in every time”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I also have been recently loving Jo Malone's English Pear and Fresia, although it may border on floral. I've bought a few sample packs from Notino and tried out multiple new scents for very little cost and been able to find a few new ones that I may buy in the future.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have Delina, English pear and fressia, matcha 26, glossier you, need to try Prada paradoxe on me. I've smelled it before and I really liked it!”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Yes I agree, I haven't checked Gucci and Chloe perfumes but they are on more pricier range. I did like Peony blush suede and English pear and freesia by Jo Malone, I just wanted to check out the variety available in us”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have 'english pear and fressia'.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Formal“I wore Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia. I got it specifically for wedding day and now everytime I wear it I remember how wonderful the day was”
