I have to be honest that Jo Malone's products are sky high expensive.
Overall, you need time to build up the love to their scents.
When I first tried on their perfumes, none of those did catch my nose.
Anyway, Nectarine Blossom and Honey can be used throughout the year.
It is a sweet, fruit and fresh scent and it's for daily use. Basically, it smells natural and it last long, surprisingly.
I always combine this scent with the limited edition scent called "ginger biscuits". It smells yummy.

I received one of Neiman Marcus' scent catalogs and out of sheer boredom opened the little ( and I find *stingy* ) towelette thingies they insert into those catalogs. One of the first was Nectarine Blossom and Honey .
It's beautiful ! Remember I tried it out of sheer boredom and not expecting anything much at all ( not a fan of Jo Malone's watery liquids .... )
The peachy nectarine note is sublimey delicious and then in comes a gorgeous * clean* honey note. This scent is nearly photo realistic when it comes to the first whiff of stone fruit. The lasting power is pretty good. The swipes of that scented towelette thingie lasted on my skin for several hours and the towelette smelt wonderful for days.
I would buy this if you love peach /nectarine notes. It is one of the best uncomplicated happy stone fruit scents out there.
Yes it reminds me a little of the Fuzzy Peach by The Body Shop but as that is not made any longer.... this is it. Lovely.

I cannot stand Jo Malone bottles- they are very boring . Either too big or too little ( 30 mls.... ) All the same , utilitarian...scent presentation should be * alittle * glamorous * don't you think , Estee Lauder Group ???!
I once read somewhere how Jo Malone was the Martha Stewart of the fragrance world - - it stuck in my head because it rings fairly true to me .

Nectarine Blossom and Honey is a stunningly beautiful, sweet fragrance. It's the perfect warm weather scent. If you like fruity florals like the Escada limited editions (Taj Sunset, Sexi Graffiti, etc) you'll love NBH. At first spritz I knew I loved it and also recognized it smelled almost identical to one of my favorite fragrances of all time, Bond no 9 Madison Square Park. Seriously, these could pass for the same fragrance, but MSP is a tad greener and NBH is a tad more on the sweeter side. Longevity of NBH is fair at about 3-4 hours before reapplication. I strongly recommend this fragrance for anyone wanting a sweet summer scent. If I ever run out of MSP, I'll probably get NBH as it is at a lower price point, but no need for me to do that now. I'll continue to enjoy my sample and try to see how in blends with other Jo Malone fragrances.

Love. Husband loves it too, he asks me if I'm "running low." Its really a nice sweet smell, perfect for daytime all the time and its nice for summer nights because it doesn't have a thick feeling to it.

I heard about this scent from a friend who raved about how it's her favorite scent in the world, so I decided to shell out $50 on the 30mL bottle to try. It's not as sweet as I thought and it's more of a "food" smell rather than the usual artificial perfume fruit smell, which I like, but it probably doesn't go with my chemistry. I've had for about 2 years, but have only wore it less than 5 times. The few times I wore it out during the day, my friends would comment on how fresh and "just-showered" I smelled like, which isn't what I was going for wearing this scent, but I didn't mind smelling like I just hopped out of the shower. The biggest problem was that my boyfriend hates its guts. He said it smells very "bitter" and "grassy" both from the bottle as well as on me...(wtf?)...so I never wore it ever since LOL. I tried to smell it from time to time to see if I'd fall in love with it again...I don't know, I really want to love it because it was really expensive and I don't want it to go to waste. So bummed...:/

This scent is one of my favorites! It's not complex- rather, it's very simple, but the juicy fragrance is totally irresistible. The bottle is 3.4 oz. I'm not really a perfume person, so here's a good description from the Nordstrom website. "A youthful and fruity fragrance, Nectarine Blossom & Honey is inspired by the delicious scent of just-ripening nectarines and a taste of refreshing peach sorbet. Mouthwatering nectarine and peach with hints of plum, blackcurrant and vetiver are combined with the sweet warmth of acacia honey in this truly seductive combination." On me, it smells very sweet and juicy, while on my sister it smells more earthy. Either way, it's well worth the hefty price tag!

I have many Jo Malone fragrances so I am a big fan. I love and rotate through a lot of them on a daily basis but this is my favorite and I'm on my 4th big bottle (over the course of years and years) .

My favorite combination is blue agave and cocoa mixed with this. I'm also enjoying this mixed with Wild Bluebell for a pretty, bright spring scent.

I'm lousy at describing notes but whatever magical scents are in this make me reach for it over and over and I never get sick of it. It's beautiful.

For some reason (Probably because JM scents dont have much sillage.. I'm not convinced anyone can smell this on me but me) I haven't gotten many compliments. But I don't need them. A couple spritzes and I'm in my happy place. :)

I was never really into fruity scents, but I wanted to try something new. It smells pleasant and I asked for a sample to try it on me. This didn't mix well with my body chemical because shortly after I sprayed it on me, it started to smell like something you'd find at Bath & Body Works. It didn't smell elegant or expensive. There was nothing special about it. I will not purchase this.

This was my first experience wearing a Jo Malone fragrance and it will be my last. Luckily, this was a sample vial for me so I didn't waste any money, but I am really surprised by all the glowing reviews on here! This smelled absolutely sickly and WAY too overpowering on me. It's a heavy scent with strong chemical notes, more reminiscent of a home air freshener or scented cleaning product than a fragrance. I applied with a light hand and had to wash off immediately. I don't understand the hype with Jo Malone products - over-hyped and overpriced in my opinion.

As expensive as this fragrance is, it's one of the few scents that really cheers me up when I wear it. It's a fresh, fruity sweetness that doesn't feel as dense or overpowering as other scents. A very refreshing change from other fragrances in the market, and great for spring and summer.

I received several samples of this about 4 years ago and am just now using the last of it. This is such a lovely, sweet, fresh scent. Imagine lying in the grass and burying your nose into the skin of a freshly picked, perfectly ripe nectarine. It's really delicious, mouthwatering, soft, and feminine. It is a very sweet fragrance that starts off fresh and developes a warmer, syrupy quality as it dries down and the honey note becomes more prominent. Unlike many sweet fragrances, I don't find this to be cloying and think it would be relatively inoffensive to most people, and thus, suitable for many different scenarios and work environments, especially if applied sparingly. I also think it could work for a wide age range. It's not a sultry, complex scent by most definitions, but it's sexy in it's innocence, uniqueness, and succulency. I'm surprised by all of the comments about the poor longevity. I guess it just comes down to body chemistry because this lasts 6+ hours on me. I would definitely purchase this fragrance.

I bought the large bottle of this after smelling it on someone else. Thankfully that someone else worked where they sold it so I got a nice discount, but it was still very pricy. I wore it for a while and really liked it until summer rolled around. It turned on me and ever since has not worked well with my body chemistry. I wouldn't say it smells bad now, just not as good as it use to. When I wear it I do get complements, but I cant stand the smell after a while.

I have a ton of the fragrance samples, lime and cedar, amber and lavender, jasmine and mint, grapefruit, pomegranate, and a bunch more but none of them smell nice on me. They all turn medicinal, like church incense, or I smell like a hardware store, kinda musty and woody but with an odd unpleasant tinge I cant put my finger on. I would not but anything from this line for myself, something about the formulation does not mesh with my skin.

This is my 'signature' scent, my absolute go to fragrance that I always get comments on from both men & women. Its lovely & soft and a little sweet but not over powering at all. My only complaint I guess would be the lasting power , which is not that great...but I also have the body cream so when I can be bothered I just layer the cream with the fragrance. I've lost count of how many bottles of this I have bought. I quite often buy off ebay from overseas because it's so much cheaper than Australian prices. Love Love Love Jo Malone.

This scent is fresh, clean and unobtrusive....I have found most Jo Malone fragrances to be very short lasting on me for some reason no matter how I try to get them to 'stick'.This one 'sticks' on me. I applied last night after shower, forgot to apply before work this morning and what do you know....I can still smell glimpses of it. My very fave is the Blue Agave and Cocoa but it just has no staying power. Scent is so unique yet clean for work-I'm a nurse and it is a winner and I will rebuy beause it lasts and has mod sillage. Very happy with this one though I feel more a summer/spring scent.

So I bought this just off the description online. I am always looking for the one scent that will be my 'signature'. This one is not 'it' but it does smell pretty amazing. Very fresh and sweet. It is a very unique scent. If you dont like fruity/florals, you probably wont like this. The packaging was pretty-came in a beige Jo Malone box wrapped in a black bow. Its kind of pricey but I do like the scent and will most likely buy again.

I finally found my freshly sliced nectarine or peach scent! I happened by Neiman's, where they had the whole line, and though I want quite a number of these Jo Malone scents, this one was an absolute winner. I bought it right then and there, despite the high price. This one has stayed pretty true throughout the day on me, going from fresh and bright to warm and sweet. I love it and want another bottle already!
