What wearers say
“The idea of a dupe for Jo Malone English Pear and Fressia only with longevity is a dream and it’s so affordable!Unfortunately I don’t think they are that similar let alone dupes. I can not smell pear in Royal Mystery. The rhubarb, rose, and amber are all amped up.The heavy amber dry down has an almost smoke quality to it. It’s pleasant and lasts a really long time but not what I personally was hoping for.”
“Absolutely getting a blast of pear and freesia in the opening but very very quickly and despite having far fewer notes, this somehow turns into the Muglers Angel I knew and loved in the late 90s. Sillage and longevity stronger than average. Fruity for sure!”
“!!! I actually gasped when I put this on. I have a sample of English Pear and Freesia from Jo Malone and if you want that smell but actually long lasting, this is the one. On me it smells almost exactly the same, but I totally understand the other comparisons and descriptions of it. It's gorgeous. I showered and it's still on my skin in the most non-offensive way.So beautiful. And so so so worth the money, which isn't that big of a dent anyway.”
