Nectarine Blossom and Honey Jo Malone for women and men

This is the only Jo Malone fragrance I've owned that really lasted on me. It's juicy, warm, and succulent without being cloyingly sweet, though the honey is clearly identifiable. I love the fact that there isn't a hint of vanilla, despite the obvious peach/vanilla match. It has the best sillage and lasting power of the Jo Malones I've owned and I received several compliments on it. Yet I didn't love it. As is the case with many Jo Malones, it was very linear and simple: nectarine to peach to honey. All that peachiness and honey threatened to give me a headache. I swapped the last third of my bottle for an equal amount of Jo Malone's French Lime Blossom, which was very different and a refreshing change, but I didn't purchase either fragrance again when I ran out.

The perfume doesn't last but the body cream is divine and has much more silage and longevity.

wow!!! i really like this one, what a Masterpiece !!

Reminds me of a younger version of Guerlain Mitsouko

When I read the reviews and saw the name to this I jumped at the chance to get my hands on it. I was expecting a fresh, feminine, peachy nectarine smell sweetened with an accent of honey. What I got was a mess.

I don't know if it's my chemistry that is doing this or if there's something wrong with the bottle, but it honestly smells like old chemical hairspray and white bleached sugar. If anyone if farmiliar with Lush's Candy Fluff perfume or Honey I Washed the Kids perfume and has smells that sugar/floral nastiness underlying both then they'll know what I mean when I say this perfume smells exactly like both.

I just don't understand it. What is this perfume??? I have the orange blossom and that smells divine, so what happened here???

Nothing pleasent to say about it. I guess the green took over and turned this into a very sharp, bitter, chemical scent.

Nectarine Blossom & Honey is a succulent, natural-smelling fragrance. As with most of Jo Malone's fragrances, it's quite simple but that quality works well here. It opens with incredibly juicy nectarine and peach, along with some tart currant. Petit grain adds a nice green hint to this fragrance. The nectarine is very realistic - it has that tart/sweet quality that real nectarines have. As it dries down, I get a light peach scent but definitely don't get any vetiver.

This is a wonderful juicy, uncomplicated scent for spring and summer. I say that partly because of the scent itself, but also because of how light it is. The downside is the lasting power is pretty poor. The most amazing stage of the fragrance is the first few minutes. After that the scent stays very close to the skin and has to be reapplied after only a couple of hours at most. I would think this scent would bloom on the skin best in hot weather.

Tried this five hours ago - still smelling soft wafting happy peachy kind of smells - without anything unpleasant or over powering. No honey particularly, but soft, sweet (without being cloying) and very feminine. I have the impression that if you smelt this as you walked behind someone down the corridor at work, you would think, "there goes a tasteful discrete lady" . Probably the kind of smell your daughter would enjoy when she cuddles up to you, or that your husband would appreciate after a warm slightly snooze-enducing bath at the end of the day.Not passion, its true but loving kindness in a bottle.... and loving kindness is a much underestimated quality

I only tried this yesterday, because I'm not a florals' person, and surprisingly it was my favorite of the 4 Jo Malone samples I tried!

It's fresh and romantic at the same time. On me the peach along with the green notes rise at first, but after a while the honey becomes more pronounced. I'd never call it a honey scent per se, I own Mechant Loup which is really rich in honey while this one isn't, but it adds its own flavor in the mix, which surprisingly for me is more fresh and sharp than sweet and sticky.

It was a hot day yesterday and I never felt overwhelmed by it. The lasting power was also good -no great for sure- lasting about 5-6 hours. I can hardly imagine wearing it during the winter, this is quite soft and I believe it would disappear completely. Though I promised myself I wouldn't buy another perfume this month, I'm very tempted to get this one fast!

A really nice (there's that word again!) Spring/ Summer scent. Not sure on the comments about it being more for femme. Really unisex in my opinion.

Jo Malone's are notorious for their light and average (at best) sillage/ longevity. That being said, wear it during a heat wave and it will reward you with a pleasant refreshing scent that will work for/ with you.

Peach, peach and more peach is what you get here. Honey really not prominent as one would expect (in spite of the name).

No serious frag here, but it does fall in that light to medium range that there is certainly a need for.

Different, imaginative and creative, a very capturant smell- a combination between sweet and green.I like it lots - the honey smell is very light. A camping smell- not glamourous, just natural.

very sharp and slightly bitter. Very tangy. This is what you would smell upon cutting into an un-ripe nectarine. Probably very unripe...like still green. Not my favorite JM. Turns to a Windex scent on drydown.

I have always wanted to get a Jo Malone perfume- natural, classy, and quality, but everytime I opted for another brand. Finally, I asked the SA which his favourite fragrance was from the line, and he showed me this, while giving me two samples to try- how kind! Upon spraying, I got distinct fresh nectarines, pleasant but struck me as too sharp, so silently decided not to purchase. Once home, I hang my coat, and everytime I passed by it, I would have to bury my nose in the collar, to get the wonderful smell. It was the nectarine blossom, that after a while it was honeyed and mellowed, and quite delicious. I think, this will be my first Jo Malone.

Beautiful . . delicious . . succulent . . sweet . . playful . . young.
It smells like peach sorbet . . it smells like you could eat it !
I totally love it . . got a 100 ml bottle few days ago . . I am in love with it !

Only one downside: Longevity on this one is crap . . lasts about 1 hour !

Still I love it - Might buy 30 ml bottle of this one to carry it in my bag.

Being a male, I wasn't sure I could pull this off. I think initially I liked it and thought the misses might like it, but the drydown brings the vetiver and black locust, which totally man this scent up on my own skin, I could only just do it, but I'd have to be in the mood. I love this very soft, peach and nectarine smell at the top, but having fruit in the base is what has really drawn me to wearing it.

Nectarine Blossom and Honey is such an optimistic and happy fragrance. A perfect treat for colder days to sweeten them up and for summer hot days when I need something lighter.

Interestingly enough, it has a quality of both pure, fragrant honey with a bit of stickyness as well as freshness of green notes. There is the juiciness of the lovely, soft peach and sharpness of blackcurrant. Overally it's soft, romantic and very feminine. I really would not consider this one a unisex fragrance. I suppose it ight work for some since it's still quite discreet, but nevertheless more suitable for women.

I love this perfume... Everytime I wear it I got compliments...

Just sprayed a sample onto my wrist and it reminds me of the room spray I bought a while ago. It has that fuzzy air freshener smell or fabric softener vibe. Can't pin point it exactly. But the dry down is much nicer; grassy with also a tad of cinnamon or spice. What could it be? There's also peach in the background. It's okay but I still associate this scent with synthetic spray so I'm not in love with it in the least.

This doesn't work for me. It's nice and really fresh scent. Fruity, but not too sweet. I can't really detect any honey in it.
It is pleasant, but this kind of smell is somehow connected with cleaning and cleaning products, at least for me. I'd love to smell it around my room, but definitely not on my skin.

Yuck. Smells like an old lady's air freshener that's been sitting in the back of her cupboard for a couple of decades. I may use the remainder I have left in tester bottles to freshen the sofas up or something.

Oh, I like this! I don't own it as full bottle, but I always need to spray some from the counter when I go!
I'm not a fan of fruity scents, they almost all give me the creeps because I smell synthetic plastic fruit flavours, but this one smells very nice on me! I will buy it soon or later for summer. So much better than so many summer flankers of mainstream fragrances! It's quite strong and intense with a burst of nectarine, some flowers and plums. Honey is barely noticeable and thanks god not too sweet!
Feminine and clean and very longlasting on my skin! It will be perfect next summer!

This fragrance is amazing. How it could smell like fresh, sun-ripened, sweet, juicy nectarines and honey without wearing down into something completely different is beyond me. I love it so much, I could eat it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

One day at work at the market i own a beautiful petit woman with long, soft, bouncy brown curls and emerald green eyes came in surrounded by this cloud of what smelled like warm juicy peaches smothered in honey. She was beautiful and i was instantly drawn to her. I'm quite proud to say that she is now my wife and she still religiously wears this perfume every day, its one of my favorites and it lingers on her skin from when she sprays it after her morning shower to when she crawls into bed every night. Simply gorgeous!

Smells like real fruit, and simply gorgeous. But it's more of a feminine fragrance, because I cant imagine any man wearing this.

I fell in love with this scent and purchased the body cream and 3.4oz bottle. It is absolutely delightful, from first spray through dry down and beyond. The nectarine, peach and plum are artfully crafted with black locust (called honey locust where I live).It is so fresh and pure that it is suitable for young girls and those that are young in heart. Lasting power could be better but otherwise, it is wonderful.

One reason I don't wear many fruity frags is that I always smell something hideously synthetic in them. While others have mentioned a plasticy or synthetic drydown here, I don't smell it. This is one of the few fruity perfumes I've smelled that stays natural smelling on me and I do enjoy it. I don't think it's interesting enough for the price. It seems to last several hours on me which is more than I expected.

I love the scent of nectarine and locust blossom from the first spray through the dry down. I love locust flowers and I find them to smell like rich honey. The only drawback is the short lasting power. But I have a sample of it so can enjoy the luxury of just a sniff now and then.

i so wanted this to work for me, when i went to jo malone and smelt every single one i thought one of her scents would be ideal and that my search was over. this was the best one of the lot but only at the beginning, the initial spray was just delightful! but the dry down was like cheap hairspray. im so disappointed:(

The first sensation I get is a waft of fresh sliced peaches with the skins and all; tart but fruity, juicy and real. All the fruit notes are clear without being sweet or chemical. It fades quickly to a sweet citrus, still lovely, but nearly single note, just that sweet faint citrus. It hasn't got strong sillage, but lasts fairly well on my skin. Nice, but not her best for me.

The perfume starts out great, there is a sense of true tangerine blossom, fresh airy and all springtime, and natural, clear honey. After these sensations vanish, hmm after about a 1/2 hour or 1 hour, there is only left..a smell of wax and plastic. Kind of like a plastic doll.
I think this could be a nice childrenś perfume, but, I am not entirely convinced children would really enjoy it.

Really light on me, my skin just ate it up so I really can't say too much good about this one. Wish it was stronger.

I don`t feel any honey in it, really.The fresh cut open nectarine - oh yes!The skin, the juice, the pit...The locust is very pronounced though - may be that`s why the Honey name, since there`s little more that is as sweet and honeylike as fragrant locust blossom clusters.I like the petitgrain in here, it keeps the composition airy and fresh and does not let the peach and plum to take over.
I also don`t usually like anything with vetiver, but here it is very light, feather weight, and only adds to the longetivity (quite long lasting!) without being overwhelming.
A great everyday scent.

Very pleasant. I'm not generally a fan of fruity, but this is really nice. I get tart blackcurrant and green notes to start, and then the nectarine comes up. It's very juicy and tart, and smells quite different from peach to my nose. The honey is not very pronounced, in my opinion, but serves to highlight the locust blossoms. (Locust grows wild in this area of the US, and I've always thought locust blossoms smell even more like honey than honeysuckle.)

In the drydown, the nectarine becomes deeper and rounder, more peachlike, and there is only a tiny hint of plum to sweeten the cool vetiver.

This scent, althought it's a cologne, might be a tad too sweet for the hottest days of summer, but for mildly warm weather would be refreshing and lovely, with its lightly sweet, juicy fruit. Enjoyable.

One of Malone's winners in my book, although lasting power could be better. Its a truly feminine fragrance, a bit similar to Maybe Baby, but this one has more class, lingers more in the background.The nectarine note is more pronounced then the honey to my nose, which is fine and stops it from being overly sweet.
