Nectarine Blossom & Honey

Nectarine Blossom & Honey, inspired by Jo Malone London Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne (2005)

Nectarine and peach set the tone from the first spray. Cassis, the French name for blackcurrant, adds a tart and slightly leafy bite that stops the stone fruit going soft. Acacia honey arrives underneath and binds everything without making it sticky. The spring flowers the brand mentions read as a pale haze rather than a bouquet, and a little vetiver gives the finish a faintly green, dry edge.

About the original

Jo Malone launched Nectarine Blossom & Honey in 2005, and it is still part of the core Cologne range, with a matching candle and body crème. The house ties it to an early-morning market at Covent Garden and calls it playful and fruity. Like every Jo Malone London cologne it is sold as unisex and meant for what the brand calls fragrance combining; its own suggested partner is Peony & Blush Suede.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Jo Malone London stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Fruit lovers who are put off by syrupy perfumes are the natural audience, since one reviewer stresses that the peach never turns mushy. Brand and reviewers both frame it as a spring and summer daytime scent. Anyone after depth, spice or resin will find it slight.

Notes of the original fragrance, as published by the brand.

Top notes: Cassis

Heart notes: Acacia Honey

Base notes: Peach

Cassis and nectarine open it, tart at first and then ripe.

Acacia honey sits in the heart, a light golden sweetness that holds the fruit together.

Peach carries through to the base, where vetiver leaves a dry, slightly grassy finish on skin.

Is Nectarine Blossom & Honey very sweet?

Less than the name suggests. The honey is light and the cassis keeps the fruit tart.

Is it a Cologne or a Cologne Intense?

The original is a standard Jo Malone London Cologne; there is no Cologne Intense version. The brand presents it as unisex.
