SUDDEN STRIKE – :
This is beautiful. I’ve layered it with Jo Malone Amber & Lavender and nectarine & honey scent still dominates. Lasts on my skin all day. Beaut summer scent.
Deroxufqsj – :
hideous!!! and unacceptably synthetic… ruined my day yesterday…
elexiateeva – :
Sweet and sticky synthetic fruit forward cologne, reminds me of a cheaply scented candle. The least favorite from Jo Malone I’ve sampled, but full disclosure I’m not usually a fan of sweet fruits unless there’s some complexity involved (ie woods, herbs, or spices added). It’s a cologne so it doesn’t last, which in this case is a good thing.
apalielty – :
A delightful, grown up fruity scent that doesn’t smell borne of Bath and Body Works. I mix the lotion with Mancera Black Vanilla for day or SDV for night, and light up the candle constantly. Because I like sweet scents, I’m not an enormous fan of Jo Malone, but I love this one.
KENT_VIRUS – :
This is one my husband actually compliments, but he’s not totally crazy for it. It’s VERY sweet, but not as sweet as VS Love Spell or Escada Frags. It’s like a professional sweet. Just don’t spray overboard or else you will get a headache. I can’t imagine repurchasing only b/c I don’t find this to be unique enough for the cost. At the same time, I’d be thrilled if it were a gift. Again, this is a “Nice to Have” – not a MUST have.
vlad-martsa – :
I find Jo Malone fragrances to be so interesting. There is always something both familiar and surprising about them. Take this one for example. It’s obviously peachy and sweet, but there’s something in the background that I would describe as ‘ticklish.’ Whatever it is, my nose loves it. It lasts the full day on me as well. Like other JM frags, this one is shallow and linear. But I don’t mind. So many ‘deep, complex’ fragrances just end up smelling of vanilla, or leather, or amber once the top and middle notes are gone. I welcome something that smells just as delicious from the moment you spray it to the moment you wash it off. So judge me.
марианна – :
I definitely smell the nectarine and peach, but honestly not much else. I find it sweet and refreshing at the same time. I like it, but not wowed enough by it to want to purchase it.
zozmar – :
I was hoping this would be a bright, crisp, cool, refreshing nectarine on me as it was on the paper. But on me it is quite a warm nectarine. Perhaps sun ripened was the vibe they were going for? Either way, it’s not quite what I was looking for in a peachy summer scent. It did last longer than I was expecting for a cologne, though it sits close to the skin on me.
By the way, in the Main Notes voting section….How do you tell the difference between peach and nectarine??
zeedex – :
I layered Nectarine Blossom with English Pear & Freesia and Blackberry & Bay. Amazingly, it has better projection and longevity. But I still love this scent on its own though.
psu_vovan – :
I just got sample at shop, i smell only peaches, its very sweet though. Reminds me too faced peach pallete that i own smells exactly like that to me.Am i only one?:-)
Update: More i wear it more i enjoy it, my next possible purchase
DINAMIT07RUS – :
So disappointed. No fresh green notes, all plastic peachy shampoo odour. Returning this to Jo Malone HQ for an exchange. Back to Orange Blossom.
Aerohopleneridjj – :
This comes on strong and sweet with citrus but also sadly artificial. I would love a stronger showing from the honey but it just isn’t to be. By the time that I’m able to detect the more herbal green notes, true to form this Jo Malone is already beginning to fade. Official sample, received in swap.
serega70111 – :
It has a pleasant smell, but the scent longevity is poor. If I’m out, I’m out the whole day, so I need a perfume that’s long lasting. Sadly, Nectarine doesn’t make the cut. Once sprayed, I smell lovely. After half an hour til 2 hours after spraying, only an inkling of the scent remains. Beyond that, I’d have to spray some on me again and I’m way too busy to be bringing around a bottle of perfume. For quick errands out, then this is fine. Still, sentiment remains: I wish it’d last longer.
cji476speagoessenda – :
While I haven’t tried all of Jo Maline’s scents, thisnis by far my least favorite out of the ones I have tried. It is too sweet and cloying for me. It comes out like a heavy blanket and stays that way. I tried to layer it with other scents of hers that I have but nothing could help lessen the sweetness. One thing I do like about this scent is that it does stick and lasts quite awhile. The perfect length to get me to work and home without having to reapply. The sillage is perfect in my opinion. I want those around me to smell what I’m wearing, but I do not want to envelope the room.
alfa7474 – :
The moment I smelled this fragrance at a Jo Malone store in London, I fell in love with it! It always cheers me up and makes me want to celebrate life.
Viktoria9 – :
Ended up not as bright sweet on my skin as straight out of the bottle. Ends with more of that plum and black current note, giving it a more “perfumey” vibe than expected. And I like it. Like a night time summer fragrance, something to wear to the restaurant just off the beach after a long day of sun bathing. I usually do well in black currant fragrances, so I knew I had to try it out….and glad that I did.
But per Jo Malone norm, only lasted about 2 hours max on skin!!
zzzzzzzzz – :
This is one of my only blind buy perfumes and also one of the few Jo Malone scents that I’m not in love with. It’s actually a very enjoyable and beautiful scent – but just not as a personal fragrance or perfume. To me it smells both of nectarines/peaches and something floral and extremely SWEET!!! It is so sweet that it’s almost cloying. However, the scent is not one that I don’t enjoy as it’s light, crisp, sweet, fruity etc. But after a few hours of wear the peachy sweetness starts to get to me and feels headache-inducing. For that reason, I feel I’ve developed a slight aversion to this.
However, it’s a scent that is inoffensive, and on the natural side. But if you’re not a fan of smelling like fruit or intensely sweet scents, then I would not get this. Currently, I tend to layer this with JM Lime Basil Mandarin, and I find the citrus and the slightly masculine nature of the LBM makes this a lot more green and fresh.
shark3 – :
I know everybody likes this from Jo Malone but I really can’t seem to like this one. To me it smells like putrid oranges. That is not worth the expensive price tag. Very sour and sharp. One dimensional scent.
pioner – :
I really wanted a Jo Malone fragrance because so many people have raved about them so i tested most of them in store. I felt like I had to buy one because I was already so invested hahah. Jo Malone won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. I’m also gonna be honest and say they’re not worth the price especially if you aren’t IN LOVE with a scent and want to make it your signature because the lasting power is poor for the price. However I understand why this is a popular brand in some aspects.
I went with Nectarine Blossom and Honey mostly because the name sounds beautiful and out of the ones I tested, this one called me the most. Reading the comments, I would agree that is could be a candle/soap scent which I don’t believe is a terrible thing, just something to be aware of. If you don’t like crisp fresh perfumes, this won’t be for you. It’s so crisp that it can almost come off as harsh where I could see could be headache-inducing for some. It reminds me of this body splash I had as a teen from Victoria’s Secret called PINK “Fresh and Clean” or D&G Light Blue, but instead of an apple base, its the peachy/nectarine one. I would wear this in Spring/Summer because it gives you a fresh, easy breezy type feel.
It’s not as amazing as I would have expected but it’s quite good nonetheless. I do wish this had more honey though because like I said previously the freshness can be harsh and overpowering. Just purchased it so not sure of the sillage and will have to see what this could layer well with. Overall if you’re looking for a fruity fresh scent from Jo Malone I’d go for this or one of the berry ones.
UPDATE: I like this fragrance a lot more and am contemplating making it my signature scent. Wow, haha. I got it to last A LOT longer by applying it on top of a vanilla bean fragrance oil. It makes it a lot sweeter, creamier and sooo yummy!
Aerohoplenerizpk – :
For me this is just “ok”. Very sweet, with a synthetic peachy odor that is too much. I think this is a suitable air freshener or candle scent, but smells too fake and sweet to wear on my body. The dry down does nothing to chill out the synthetic nature of that peach, and even though there’s a slight powdery/freshness, it’s not enough to save this one from air freshener territory for me.
valichukan – :
I reaaaaally want to like this scent, I really do. When I was first introduced to Jo Malone by my friend in 2015, she had me take a whiff of this scent and told me this is her signature scent. For some reason I found the scent repulsive and I absolutely could not stand it at all.
To me it smells so rotten and pungent that one whiff kind of just knock me off. The stench gave me a headache. I thought the scent stick they had on display have gone bad, so I sprayed some of it on the paper and it was the same.
Over the years I kept hearing only good things about this scent, so I always give it a sniff every time I visit a JM store. Alas, every single time I find this scent to be repulsive. I’ve given up now, I guess this scent just isn’t for me. I tried really hard to like it though.
speAlmope – :
This is my signature perfume. There’s something about it that just works marvellously with my skin chemistry that takes it away from being pure nectarine and becoming an amazing mingle of fruity (both nectarine and blackcurrant) and rich floral with the hint of vetiver. It stays very close to the skin yet there, it lingers all day. I’ve tried many other perfumes but most don’t seem to work with me, this one, however, is the one I trust.
noxat – :
This is my least favorite of the Jo Malone fragrances I have sampled. It’s too powdery sweet on my skin and headache inducing. I won’t be using the rest of the sample. Just not my cup of tea, I guess.
sedsKefsthosy – :
Fresh fruity floral. Surprisingly long lasting for a Jo Malone cologne.
I definitely smell the nectarine and peach notes. Brings a feminine sweetness to the fragrance.
It’s a strong like and would be perfect for a spring or cooler summer day.
A carefree and casual scent. I see a female wearing a light coloured dress with a soft cardigan sweater and wavy hair and only a hint of colour on her lips and cheeks. Nothing too formal. Just a breezy scent of peaches and flowers follows her.
bat343 – :
this smells much like the Bath & body’s “Pretty as a Peach” but with an even sharper kick of synthetic notes that reminds me of air fresheners aerosol. one spritz filled up my entire room, and stayed stuck to my skin for two days despite multiple scrubbings.
BAGI5 – :
Love the scent though it can become a bit synthetic at times. When its right, its lovely! Longevity and silliage leaves much to be desired. I really wish this were not the case as my husband loves this on me dearly.
pashet – :
To me, this is an easy scent of leisure; “Nectarine Blossoms & Honey” smells like someone who hasn’t a care in the world; a free spirit. Imagine a country house in the Summer, with all of the windows opened to let in the cool breezes. On the kitchen table is a bowl of sweet nectarines with wild honey drizzled all over it, nearby is a vase of lavender plants and their herbaceous scent. The image in your mind is exactly how “Nectarine Blossoms & Honey” smells. Interestingly, when I smell this, I can even feel the soft texture of peach fuzz on my nose. That’s how realistic it is!
Yes, Jo Malone’s “Nectarine Blossoms & Honey” does stay very close to the skin, but it is by no means weak or watered down; a better word to describe it is “discreet.” True, people would have to get close to you to smell it, but the scent does last an entire day, and you will smell good for just as long, even if you think nobody can smell you. While this is an eau de cologne, it smells more concentrated than one; I can tell that the concentration of oil is actually pretty generous, it’s just that the notes used are soft ones in the first place.
Is it worth the money? “Worth” is such a subjective word; it really depends on what you are looking for in a perfume. I have been wearing this since 2005, when I first became an adult, and it still smells appropriate on me 12 years later. If you want a perfume that announces your presence, I would not recommend this perfume, at all. However, if you want to smell nice but discreet & unobtrusive, you’re most likely going to appreciate this. To me, this is worth it.
Sokol01 – :
This is a nice, fruity, summer scent. I get tons of juicy nectarines above all else. The fruit is not sweet or cloying, but slightly tart like a real fresh nectarine or peach. In the opening I got a very odd sharp metallic note on my skin, but it faded quickly leaving nothing but yummy fruit!
This is a nice scent; however, I would like to be able to smell some honey in it. Additionally, it’s a bit simple for my tastes, so I won’t be purchasing a bottle. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense fruity spring/summer perfume, look no further. This is definitely it!
(As a side note, I did try this as a lotion as well and loved it for that purpose. I could see myself getting a tub of the lotion for this summer)
DimX2 – :
Sweet, fruity scents seems to favor my skin. My husband said I smelled like air-freshner or shampoo but I don’t care. It smells good to me. I bought it blindfolded since there are no testers available (cause it’s tester already) but wasn’t disappointed. very appropriate for the climate in my country.
and-rudkovskiy – :
TOO SWEET !!! And its so artificial and fake smell!
Its not like real honey but it is the too rippen peach cook in honey.
Its so so so sweet, even though Im a big fan of Vanilla and Caramel notes. I cant stand how fake and sweet it is.
I feel like to vomit immediately after the first sniff!!!
However, the longevity is so good( to me its so stubborn :() and the sillage is also good, u can somehow smell the perfume in your wrists without sniffing it.
I believe someone must be a real bee to love this one, just kidding lol
buk – :
I should start by saying that I adore the Jo Malone fragrances and own several of them including some testers. I try perfume whenever I walk by a counter in any department store or anywhere else because I want to familiarise myself with as much and as many fragrances as possible. I have to admit that it’s only quite recently that I have developed such an interest in perfume so I have a lot to learn but I keep coming back to Jo Malone often. Yes they are light and not very long lasting but they smell natural and sofisticated.
Comparing with other “light” fragrances like for example Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria range or Chanel’s Chance the Jo Malone’s are superior. It’s as if Guerlain, who has made so many exceptional fragrances makes Aqua Allegoria because they have to have some “light and easy” in their range to please those new young customers who likes that sort of thing. Nothing wrong with that and I am certainly a huge fan of Guerlain but this is not where their strength is. Guerlain creates magic with so many of their richer, deeper scents but so does Jo Malone with their light, bright, uplifting scents.
I was given a JM gift card for my birthday recently and I chose Nectarine Blossom & Honey as an addition to my growing JM collection.
Nectarine Blossom & Honey smells like soft nectarine and peach with a little bit of green. There is a hint of floral there but it’s not sweet or heavy floral. It is uncomplicated, very grown up and sofisticated. Someone here said it’s office friendly which I suppose it is but I would describe it more as understated and elegant. Fragrantica has categorised it as a floral fruity gourmand. I don’t understand what the gourmand aspect would be… it’s mostly fruity to me.
Today I compared it with another fruity floral which I have a tester of, Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel. Chance is nice. It smells like a girly, young perfume but in comparison it’s overly complicated with all that musky floral base and this is exactly where I think JM gets it so perfectly right with its adult, simple approach.
It was nice to know that this was one of “Jo Malone’s” own creations since she now has sold the company and moved on… I think she created a little masterpiece with this beautifully natural smelling cologne.
pay586InsuffBooni – :
I could bathe in Nectarine Blossom & Honey. If it wasn’t so freaking expensive. I have never met so beautiful nectarine note in perfumes. Also I could sense peach and greenery. It’s slightly syrupy, but it’s like sugar free home made ecological syrup cooked somewhere in village by Mediterranean sea.
qogbqjblcps – :
it’s weird how this lasts forever on me… (especially reading all the comments saying it’s got poor lasting power).
I can smell it until I shower on my skin and on my clothes until I wash them!
I layer it with Velvet Rose & Oud (suggested by Jo Malone website) and I must say it smells amazing even though the nectarine is really strong and predominant.
roма811 – :
This one used to be my favorite perfume of all time, but I kind of grew up. Not saying it’s childish, but my tastes have changed! It’s more leaning on the nectarine side than the blossom, so if you’re a fan of floral scents, it’s not the best. Jo Malone has many more floral scents to choose from. However, if you hate floral fragrances, yet need a spring time scent (it’s hard to find something that is fruity that is not for the summertime) then this is a must! If you want a bottle that is 3/4 full, call me!
supersecurity – :
This cologne reminds me of being in an orchard during spring harvesting fruits.
Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey is a sweet concoction with just a little hint bitterness. Kinda bittersweet. I must say that you will only “like” or may even “love” this perfume once you are regularly using or getting used to it.
This cologne is just juicy and fresh and will remind you of ripe fruits. So fresh.
zp-artem – :
I dont have a clever/cute story for how this perfume and I met. A friend was wearing it, it seemed to fit her. She was way more refined in taste than me. I had never even heard of Jo Malone, were they a man or woman? More importantly, could I pull this off myself? I really liked the musky roasted nectarine smell, which was so effortlessly distinct. If perfumes had a texture, this would be velvety peach fuzz. So soft, in fact that it reminds me of a second skin, like a favorite t-shirt, the soft grey one with holes around the collar that fits you just right. I dont know how I got from peaches to tshirts, but here we are. I am on my fourth bottle and will probably never tire of it.
Apach – :
The other day, I walked by a plate of ripe nectarines and instantly caught a whiff. Jo Malone captured this perfectly. This is the scent of a nectarine that is ripe, ready to eat, not rotten, soft to the touch. It’s up too you to decide whether this is what you’d want to smell like. I love the scent, but I’m not sure if it will work on me in the heat..just as you’d not want the smell of real nectarines to warm up. It is very much a literal representation of nectarine.
VLADIMIROFF – :
I like it. It’s a simple fresh layering scent — perfect for spring and summer. (Fresh like just-washed hair..) Although it’s not listed here, it does remind me a bit of Cellophane by Serge Lutens. Go for a small bottle and mix it with JM’s Red Roses. It’s such a fresh delicate twist! ❤️
medivini – :
CAT urine ? Rancid? Noooo,this smells just like a fresh necatrine. It’s like the juice from the fruit gets on your skin.
bng1957 – :
No iris in this? I was sure i smelt it
Along with a sweet peach.
Its sweet, innocent, lovely and great for everyday or work.
Enjoy the dry down more when this starts to smell a bit fruitier.
Deroxihuwx – :
It’s really sweet at first, almost too sweet but when it dried down, the nectarine getting better and better and what surprised me is the longevity. I’ve Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt, which last like 4-5 hours but this one last for longer than 8 hours, it faded but still prominent enough when I took a close sniff. I found it pretty nice.
durow – :
This smells nice, but, to me, it isn’t meant to be a perfume. It smells too artificial, almost like candy. It is a little too sharp, and I could see it being a lovely soap of some kind. I imagine that this scent is better as a candle.
mykcyn – :
I have a very strange relationship with Jo Malone. I’ve always loved the “look”, and I’ve always wanted a few on my dresser, but their scents are, to me, either “interesting” or “breezy” which is not what I usually go for. and their price point, while not entirely eye-watering, still packs a punch for a “cologne” so I was cautious for a good few years. I’d smell everything at the counter every time I walked by one, I’d ask friends, read up on here and basenotes, etc..
and I finally bought this one, the 100ml. I thought I adored the smell. It was good on paper. I loved the reviews. Peaches and Nectarines and Honey? that’s gotta be good!
but for some INSANE reason I don’t get it on my skin. It comes out really fresh, almost green, its sweetness close to zero…and by the time I get any sort of fruit on my skin it’s already a whisper and I have to literally have my nose ON my skin to smell it!! Compared to any of my other perfumes, the longevity was like a Boots level body spray. and it wasn’t some fake I got either, it was bought for me in Selfridges in London!
I wanted to love it, but I couldn’t. I’ll give it a few more gos when it gets warmer, to see if that opens it up a bit but if it doesn’t change I am going to have to put it up for adoption! Such a shame because I really liked the idea of it all. but I didn’t let this one fragrance put me off the brand though, the second one I bought almost straight after this disappointment was Red Roses, which was completely fine, everything as expected, although perhaps a little more sour than I imagined, and the third one- Velvet Rose&Oud became one of my all-time go-tos.. so WHY DIDN’T THIS WORK ON ME!? So sad!!
Dietleslino – :
I sampled this yesterday and NO IDEA what’s up with the bad reviews on here.
This is HEAVEN in a BOTTLE ! Longevity is fair – not great.
nil – :
This sounds like something I’d love, fruity, fresh and sweet, so I, yet again, blind purchased a big whopping bottle and the hand/body lotion. Unfortunately, while it does smell fruity, in an overripe stone fruit sort of way, it also has an unmistakable resemblance to cat urine.
ETA- When layered with Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Extreme, the combination becomes one of the most luscious, exquisite scents ever. I ‘m guessing, under the circumstances, this combo precludes the need for a bottle of Vanille Abricot.
yci892speagoessenda – :
Rotting fruit, forgotten in a child’s lunchbox that was left in the car on a hundred-degree day… you get the idea. This one had me nauseated after about two minutes. Along with Blackberry & Bay (both scents were received as samples), it packs a stubborn little stone-fruited heart that refuses to be diluted by bathing and/or exfoliating the skin! Explorers be forewarned: If you don’t care for the scent of mucky peaches, steer clear.
Turiutittee – :
Despite the common criticisms of JM fragrances due to lack of longevity and sillage and the fact that they are too simple or linear for some, I’ve been very drawn to them in recent years. I had a tester of this one that I hadn’t sniffed before, but I threw it in my bag on a weekend girls trip to the beach last summer. The next morning I spritzed some on blind before leaving the room for the day and was immediately taken by this joyful scent! It has an immediate almost citrus zing that quickly settles into a beautiful, well rounded, not overly sweet, fruity floral. In the elevator on the way out, the girlfriend I was traveling with immediately exclaimed, “What is that loveliness you are wearing!?!” From that moment, I was hooked. I bought a 30 ml bottle and used it liberally the rest of the summer. Then for a recent milestone birthday, I asked hubby to take me to the Jo Malone counter at Nordstrom where we did some scent testing. This one was his favorite too, but we soon were hooked on the fun of layering these well crafted colognes and I walked away with a whole JM fragrance wardrobe.
Yes, yes, I know this is a marketing strategy. Yes, I know it’s expensive. Yes, I know the scents seem unfinished to some. But, I’m having so much fun discovering new combos on an almost daily basis and changing them up to suit my mood. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gravitated to these less intense, subtle scents. I can layer them to make something I already love darker, fresher, warmer, more floral etc etc. This makes me happy.
As a younger woman, I always went for the WOW factor and wore some of the biggest ’80″s and ’90’s perfumes to make a statement. It was all about attraction and establishing an identity then and I still appreciate those creations. Now, I wear fragrance more for myself and based on how I feel. Doesn’t matter if the only other person that smells them is my husband as long as they are pleasing to both of us. I find myself wearing this scent before bed now, when sitting around at home working or whenever I want a pick me up. I actually like the fact that these scents don’t last all day or cling to everything because sometimes, I want to change it up throughout the day. This one in particular makes a good base for the line and mixes well with most everything else JM makes. So, if you’re at all curious about layering JM, try starting with this scent. Happy experimenting:)

Treacherous perfume.
It could be a great “Bridal scent” or somebody’s everyday perfume (even mine) If it was even more simple.
I just hate the way it transformes in 10 minutes and makes so horrible smell of hmm… linden blossom while it’s +40 (It should make the honey feeling).
I thought there’s the problem in my skin until my mom has tried it on her and we both need shower right after. It lasts so long even after shower or laundry so thi could be a big +.
Finally my grandmom found this perfume very feminine, fresh and took it home.
No, me and my mom cannot be together with my grandmom and “Nectarine Blossom & Honey Jo Malone” in the same room.
I think that I can find a better perfume which will be same all time like “Nectarine Blossom & Honey Jo Malone” first 10 minutes and not that expensive because it smell like a cheap shampoo with apple scent from Carrefour)))
GARIK-LO23 – :
I got it by accident actually. I asked my friend to buy the English Pear and Freesia one but she got me this instead.
Hated it at first, because I naturally not really into sweet scents. But it kind of grew on me because a lot of people complemented the scent.
Its not the kind of sweet scent that you found in a candy shops or like artificial sweetness though. Its the kind of sweet scent you caught when you’re surrounded by ripe fruits, so thats nice for me.
I’m still going to get the EPF one and based on the description of it, I might like that one better. But overall if you don’t mind sweet fruit scent, you might love this.
Shalun – :
Nectarine Blossom and Honey literally smells like fresh, ripe peaches, nectarines, and foliage in spring. Layered with Red Roses it becomes a bouquet of flowers. With Blue Agava and Cacao it warms and mellows out to a peachy/chocolatey but still bright and crisp scent. Delicious.
Jo Malone’s line of fragrances might seem gimmicky and the different scents too linear to wear on their own (which I disagree), but I have found them to provide a wonderful ability to create your own unique scent, or design your own fragrance for a specific event or mood. I bet I will end up with a Jo Malone ‘fragrance wardrobe’ – I can’t get enough and my wallet hates me a bit.
My only negative is the longevity of this one. It disappears just too fast. I guess all good things have their limits. I have heard layering with the body/hand lotion gives more staying power. I don’t think it would take much tempting, really.
maksan – :
This nectarine is just perfect! Captured the natural fruit scent perfectly! Sadly doesn’t last like many of the this line but so beautiful while it’s there!
elena411951 – :
I have a love/hate relationship with Jo Malone. I like the “bespoke” concept of. Ding able to customize and mix & match her various fragrances, but also find it a bit gimmicky given the price points of her products and the fact that very few of her fragrances could actually be standalone scents on their own.
Nectarine Blossom & Honey smells beautiful on a blotter — like fresh, ripe peaches and peach juice. However, on my skin, it smells cloying and synthetic. I tried layering it with various Jo Malone fragrances, but this one always seemed to overpower the other.
Once, when wearing this, my husband told me I smelled like a Glade Plug-In and that I should go wash it off. Needless to say, I ended up returning this.
I do think I would try this as a hand soap, but definitely am NOT a fan of the EDT.
sova1 – :
I do have high expectations on this before i bought it into an online store which sells authentic Jo Malone since its still not truly available or expose here in the Philippines. So after i sprayed it on my wrist and let it set for a minute, i noticed that its too sweet & fruity. Its like holding a basket full of sweet fruits. The most dominant notes that I have notice is the Nectarine & Peaches.
Ratings:
Scent- 7/10
Bottle/Presentation- 9.5/10
Accessibility- 4/10
Will I recommend it? Not sure. Its just too sweet. Some people might have a headache with this.
Will I buy again? Maybe. Im going to test it for a month and see how many compliments I can get. 🙂 GIVE THIS A THUMBS UP IF YU FIND THIS HELPFUL THANKS!
Balfagor – :
Last summer, I spent some time in Saks Fifth Avenue, and ended up immersed in the perfume area. A very helpful salesman asked me what scents I like in general, and what I was looking for, and even explored how I wanted to feel with a new scent! I told him I loved light scents anytime the heat was 70 degrees and up, and I wanted a perfume to be uplifting for my mood, and that of others around me, clean, fresh, and happy!
He directed me to the Jo Malone area which truly looked almost like a pharmacy of identical bottles of different scents. While the presentation was a bit intimidating, I became enthralled with different scents he either layered, or sprayed on the test strips. He kept a container of coffee beans nearby to reset my nose for another round of sniffing! He kept confusing the strips on purpose so I would find a scent honestly – by repeatedly liking it. He told me I kept coming back to the Nectarine Blossom and Honey. So I although I bought just one bottle, he generously prepared at least 7 different Jo Malone scent samples to try layering at home.
