Reviews of Nectarine Blossom & Honey (2005)
by Jo Malone

I absolutely love the opening half an hour of this: Smells like I was having buttery flap jacks (or pan cakes) with apple sauce. Yummy!

It then turns into more peachy floral scent that is very crisp. Still quite edible. Smells very summery and beautiful.

Fairly long lasting, but I don’t like much the final phase when this turns out quite sharp smelling, developing a dangerously similar type of smell as in Dalimix.

But at the end of the day, this is a quite wonderful sunny scent that has a very positive vibe.
Much more preferably for women.

I agree with the EBBELINE, it starts off fresh and fruity, kind of like sweet peaches, but turns into a sour metallic rusty smell. It gets bitter with age and all thats left is the smell of sour alcohol, similar to starch you use when you iron your clothes. I still think Orange blossom is the best floral by jo malone

Fragrance notes: peach, plum, blackcurrant, honey.
This is the first JM scent that I don’t like. It starts off very peach-y. It is a complex scent, like warm peach preserve. It is interesting, but very fruity. The honey is tolerable, not rich and sugary-sweet. But then the scent develops an unpleasant tinny note in the dry-down. This metallic note with the lingering peach is not attractive to me, nor would I find it attractive on someone else.

This is an odd fragrance on me. It smells sour, like sour nectarine. I prefer it layered with sweeter scents, like ginger or gardenia.

Nectarine Blossom & Honey is a perfect scent for me. Why? No VANILLA! Thank god for a fragrance made today with no Vanilla. It's sweet upon first blush, but not sharp or overpowering. Just gentle and perfect Peach/Nectarine fruit. I've heard the Glade analogy way too many times, and am left wondering if those folks are partaking of the same scent I am. The payoff upon drydown (which takes only a half-hour or so) is as this luscious fruit is joined by the warm honey note. This leaves a simple, but innocently seductive aura enveloping your whole body. It's natural, earthy and sexy all at the same time. A great daytime fragrance to wear on the weekend with your blond cashmere sweater and jeans. You just can't rush with this on...it's made for slow days and leisurely afternoons in front of the fireplace, reading a book or kissing your lover.

Too sweet and fruity :-(

It's definitely pleasant and I wouldnt mind this on someone else.

My first review! I love this fragrance. That may sound like a simple opening but... It reminds me of a fragrance worn by a friend of mine back in the late '60's. She said her Grandmother would buy it for her during her trips to France. I never got the name and have been chasing it for over 35 years! Obviously, this is not that, but it's close... and I'm in heaven. First spritz and you have just bitten into the best peach... or is it a tangerine, without the nasty taste? Who cares! It is fresh, tingly and naturally sweet but not icky sweet. I do get a little plummy thing and a mixed floral that you find at wedding shows. But mostly it is fresh and what you think Spring should smell like... or at least that glimpse that you get of it but you can never figure out where that beautiful smell is coming from. Sillage is fleeting, as has been noted, but close to skin keeps it private to you and yours. The dry down stays fairly true to the top notes but without the tingly. It doesn't get old, creamy or heady. It doesn't wilt, but rather just quietly goes away. I have never carried a fragrance with me up until now. This one has found a home in my bag and in my heart. The toughest part is that people are ALWAYS asking me what my beautiful fragrance is! Wryly, I often find myself mumbling something about France and my Grandmother. Oh c'mon?!!!It took me 35 years to find this one... I'm not giving it up that easy!

Reminds me of a Demeter fragrance in it's total ability to recreate the smell of biting into a nectarine. I also get the peach & plum notes, but I did NOT smell the vetiver, honey or blackcurrant.

Doesn't last too long (like most JM scents), but who cares...for a few hours you smell fruity (NOT sweet, just fruity) and clean.

Great for weekends & garden work.

Mmmmm....this is so yummy and it smells positively edible - but not in a gourmandy way. It smells more like a juicy cocktail - but not in an Escada way. It's quite sweet but isn't sickly and I don't think it would appeal to teenage girls. I couldn't pick up on too much honey, but there is actual nectarine and peach in there, as well as the blossoms. The longevity is very poor, as is the sillage, but the great thing is that you can keep spraying it on and getting those delicious juicy topnotes.

A great spring/summer fragrance for women who want to smell wispy and delicious.
