Nashi Blossom

Boring and normal at the first sniff, nothing so special, but you will miss it for a while... I got this because it’s limited edition and I’m a Jo Malone lover. I used to collect Jo Malone. Youtubers recommended the 2016 version so many times, then luckily re-launched this year. I blind bought it, and leave it for a while. Until one day I smelled this on a lady standing next to me on the bus. I felt like it’s so fresh, clean and cute. Yes, “cute”, the lady was wearing sporty outfits and definately not young, like aged 40 or up. I still thought that’s a cute scent and I remembered that’s my Nashi blossom cologne. Fresh, clean and powdery makes it has some depth to it. As a clean scent, rarely I got powdery feeling, also Nashi blossom blended it well, very much in balance with all the notes, I think that’s why I felt normal at the first sniff, no “ wow” for me. But very much like a go-to scent, perfect pick for summer, not childish or native coz that powdery hint into it. I could say it’s a cozy scent and unique as a limited edition, I got one more a big bottle backup while on sale online, very good deal.

I reluctantly tested this today, knowing some of Jo Malone's most alluring scents evaporate as quickly as I fall in love with them :( It's delicious and fresh, but of course, is gone within an hour. I'm now left behind with a wisp of pretty, musky flowers~ I didn't get a ton of citrus, lemon seems to not be very prominent on my skin - I mostly felt the bright pear blossom and softness of the rose. No dusty roses here, felt like the dewy pink kind of rose you can smell first thing in the morning when the mist is still covering everything. It took everything in me to NOT buy this! I think it's beautiful, sheer and just graceful.. sigh.. I will say there's something SO familiar about the opening, which was not there after the first half hour. Don't think I was getting Clinique's "Happy" but someeeethiiing definitely felt familiar. Which I don't mind, but it's sparked my curiosity. So sad to watch this beauty fade

There is just something about this perfume. I can see many have described it as uninteresting, but to me it's just the most delicious smell. Gorgeous white flowers, pear and something almost salty - like the smell of a packet of salt, in the most positive way I can think of. I can't say I smell the roses. Maybe it's the musk that has this delicious, salty smell? What ever it is, it makes me crave this perfume. It's so lovely. I'm so sad that this perfume was limited edition, as I only got the smallest bottle, and I want to own this for ever and ever.

To me this is mostly musk and pear flower. It's a beautiful inoffensive fragrance that is quite one directional really but nevertheless simple, easy to wear, very feminine and youthful, quite fresh and slightly citrusy. The lemon is only there for a hint, nothing more. It does not give you the typical lemon blast, like the one in stronger and more intense fragrances (many people associate that kind of blast with cleaning products though!). Overall, a good fragrance!

My mom had that when I was around two years old. I love the smell of pear blossom! I think this would be a perfect signature scent for little girls ages 3 to 7.
