English Pear & Freesia, from Jo Malone London was released in 2010. The perfumer behind this creation is Christine Nagel. It has the top notes of Melon and Pear, middle notes of Freesia and Rose, and base notes of Amber, Musk, Patchouli, and Rhubarb.
There's something similar enough to Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid to make me wish I was smelling Velvet Orchid, like this was the first mix of some rudemantary florals that went on to become the glorious floral psychedelia of the Tom Ford. It's not unpleasant, but it's very basic and linear. I appreciated it for a few moments but wouldn't go back for more. I'm starting to reach the conclusion that Jo Malone scents are overpriced, basic-ass children's perfumes.
