DESCRIPTION (TAKEN FROM jomalone.co.uk)

Created after a morning visit to London's Covent Garden Flower Market, a sweetly scented oasis in the heart of the city, Nectarine Blossom & Honey is a delicious, youthful fragrance full of succulent fruits- nectarine, peach, cassis- and delicate spring flowers, wrapped in the warmth of acacia honey.

THE VERDICT:

Jo Malone's love for fragrance has led her to amazing heights from the comforts of her kitchen to the world of luxury. And since the brand's inception in 1994, Jo Malone has always been considered as a brand of class and great taste.

Jo Malone's scents are characterized as natural and clean. Inspired by the wonders of nature and its gifts, every Jo Malone scent is handcrafted to a beautiful and unique scent encased in a classy bottle.

The names of the scents tell you what they're exactly made of. No fancy names whatsoever. The particular scent I got is one of her latest creations: NECTARINE BLOSSOM AND HONEY

NB&H is a lively and youthful scent. Imagine a young girl in a peach chiffon dress, running on the field, and her hair flowing freely in the wind. She's carefree, playful, joyful, and vibrant. She exudes a charming air of freedom and beauty. She laughs and plays as if youth is forever on her side. Nature is her playground, and its bounty are her friends.

At first whiff, it's all fruit. It might be too strong to some, but after a few seconds, the acacia honey starts dripping on the fruity top notes, giving it some warmth, and keeping the heady fruit notes at bay. And it dries down to a lovely candy scent that's not too strong nor too light.

For a cologne, the staying power is surprisingly great. I sprayed some of it on my tee. I had it washed because I had to use it the next day. And to my surprise, I can still faintly smell the fragrance! It's staying power is even better than some of the EDPS and EDTS I own! No regrets of shelling out cash on a perfume!

One word to describe this scent: SUCCULENT. It's a perfect scent for summer, and a scent to be enjoyed both by the young and aged. This sweet scent just reminds you of how sweet and good life can get-- and you can get it all in one bottle.
