A sunlit walk through an English orchard captured in perfume, English Pear and Freesia opens with the juicy snap of ripe pear before drifting into the airy elegance of white freesia and rose, then resting on a quietly sensual blend of patchouli, musk, amber, and rhubarb. It feels crisp and tender at once, a graceful fruity floral that reads modern, versatile, and wonderfully easy to wear.

Story and Positioning
The brand frames English Pear and Freesia as orchards steeped in golden sunshine, where just ripe pears meet cool white freesias and a grounding patchouli base. It sits within Jo Malone London’s Luscious and Fruity family and is frequently spotlighted as a house favourite. For pairing, the brand suggests adding a twist of citrus with Grapefruit, warmth with Peony and Blush Suede, or extra freshness with English Oak and Hazelnut, reinforcing its role as a signature layerable cologne. The English Pear concept has grown into its own mini world, adding English Pear and Sweet Pea in 2023, plus special bottle runs such as the fluted bottle edition that reimagined the classic silhouette. If you enjoy transparent fruity florals that feel elegant and clean, this is a polished choice for daytime, weddings, and year round signature wear.
Bottle and Design
Presented in Jo Malone London’s clear rectangular flacon, the pale juice glows behind a cream label with slim black framing and sharp serif type. A rounded silver cap adds a jewelry like glint, and the flat base sits securely on a vanity. Limited editions have included a fluted glass design that lends a softly pleated texture while keeping the house’s minimalist lines.
