Jo Malone will launch English Pear & Sweet Pea, a "youthful, pastel-soft counterpart" to 2010's English Pear & Freesia. Like English Pear & Freesia, English Pear & Sweet Pea was inspired by the John Keats poem Ode to Autumn.
English Pear & Sweet Pea features a natural pear extract; reportedly the juice of one pear is in each bottle. Additional notes include sweet pea and white musk.
Jo Malone English Pear & Sweet Pea will be available in 30 and 100 ml Cologne Spray.

Update: the product description via John Lewis...
Sun-warmed orchards spring to life as tempting green pears fill the branches. The luscious fruits enveloped in softly scented pastel sweet peas, nestled on a base of powdery white musk.
That’s a pretty bottle.
It is — makes me wonder if this is a limited edition.
Beautiful bottle and I tend to like JM, but something about the name made me roll my eyes a bit. Maybe it’s because it’s a variation of something they already have done so it lacks originality and it’s seemingly intending to try and target a ‘younger’ audience. The poem is lovely.
I don’t like the original, and don’t like pear, and love the smell of sweet peas but doubt there is a sweet pea perfume anywhere I would love.
So I’m biased to begin with 🙂
I like some pear scents (the ones that actually smell like a ripe pear, and make my mouth water), and I love most Sweet Pea scents (once in a while they seem screechy-I don’t like that). I am interested to smell this one-it could be very nice, or it could be totally meh!
