English Pear & Freesia, created by Jo Malone in 2010, places sweet pear and aquatic melon at the top. Honeyed rose and luminous freesia occupy the heart, before a base of animalic amber, enveloping musk and earthy patchouli.
Pear, sweet and soft, and melon, aquatic and fresh, occupy the top: melon for freshness, pear for sweetness, with no common register between the two.
Rose, warm and honeyed, sits alongside freesia, luminous and suave; the two share no descriptor, rose holding honey and wax, freesia its light.
Amber, animalic and tobacco-like, musk, enveloping and powdery, and patchouli, earthy and camphoraceous, come together in the base: wood links amber to musk, camphor links amber to patchouli.
