“Perfect Springtime scent. You definitely get the Nectarine and Peaches notes once it dries down. Even though Jo Malone usually doesn’t last long on me, this one does”
I’m a perfume expert and have spent countless hours searching for the best quality products with great value and travel-size bottles are always a good idea. Jo Malone have had 9ml bottles for a long time, which can often be found in their duo sets – but a sleek 10ml design has just been released on Sephora.
Shoppers can get a 10ml bottle of the brand’s summery Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne for £24. This sleek round bottle is ideal for trips abroad, nights out, and to be slipped into a clutch bag. The scent was a 2005 release by the brand’s founder and namesake.
It opens up with green notes, petitgrain and blackcurrant, before softening to a heart of nectarine and black locust. There’s a fruity base of peach, plum and vetiver. It’s been compared to Juliette has a Gun’s Magnolia Bliss (£100 for 50ml) and Oakcha’s The Beekeeper (£28 for 50ml).

Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne has an impressive 277 five-star ratings on Sephora. One shopper said: “Love this scent! It’s super light but enough to get you noticed. Great blend of citrus and honey, honestly wish this scent was in a hair perfume because this beats the Gisou original honey hair perfume.”
A second wrote: “I love it. If you like fruity, juicy scents this is for you. There is very little flower to the nose. Compare to the English Pear and Pea flower perfume, Peony Blush perfume that I love too, this one is completely unique and different! Feels like a sunny day by the pool and I’m here for it.”
A third penned: “Perfect Springtime scent. You definitely get the Nectarine and Peaches notes once it dries down. Even though Jo Malone usually doesn’t last long on me, this one does! Love this!”

A fourth added: “This is my favourite by Jo Malone. Unfortunately, the scent disappears soon after applying—before I can even finish getting ready. I’ve been so disappointed the cologne scent doesn’t last especially with the price point of many perfume! If they could make it last, it would be my favourite go-to of all time.”
It’s worth keeping in mind that the application of perfume can impact how long it lasts. One tip is to spray perfume directly on pulse points, ideally when freshly cleaned and moisturised, and to not pat it down. It’s also best to store perfume in a cupboard or drawer away from any radical temperature changes or light.
