This has to be the ‘pearfect’ – excuse the pun – Mother’s Day pick from Jo Malone London. I am a massive fan of Jo Malone London, the brand is a huge favourite of mine and the selection of fragrances and the range they have created is rather mind-blowing, plus their packaging is totally beautiful and a delight to unwrap as they are artfully wrapped in an exclusive cream and yellow box.
The fragrance of English Pear & Freesia encourages me to imagine I am stepping into a sunlit orchard and, once there, I am exploring two distinct scents, but each with succulent English pear at its core. English Pear & Freesia makes me feel this orchard is steeped in golden sunshine, warming the russet curves of luscious pears. The sensuous freshness of the just-ripe fruit wrapped in elegant white freesias, enhanced with rose and rooted in patchouli, is totally glorious.
The Top Note is William Pear, this accord of mellow scented fruit is fresh and ripe with a juicy facet, the Heart Note is Freesia, quintessentially English, as cool white freesias imbue the heart of the fragrance with a delicate, yet distinctive scent. On a Base Note of patchouli, the sensuously deep, woody note that enhances the longevity of the fragrance.
To use, spritz generously onto your wrists, neck and pulse points and your body heat will help to diffuse the fragrance as the day goes on. Wear alone or layer with another cologne or your favourite bath & body products.
This is such a beautiful gift for Mother’s Day, if I’m honest I always think flowers are lovely, but don’t last long and flowers are pricey, so to be able to give a fragrance that will last will make this day even more special for your Mum. Perhaps two siblings can share the cost of this fabulous fragrance.
Please do check out their website as they have lots and lots of wonderful gift ideas.

Sustainability Practice
Kindness is woven through the fabric of everything we do. We strive to protect the environment and take a considered approach when creating our products; from recycled and recyclable packaging, to making products in facilities that harness renewable energy to reduce emissions, to better transparency around our responsibly sourced ingredients and respect for local communities. It’s a work in progress, but we are committed to doing better, working to centre responsible practices that address the environmental impact at the heart of our company. And, as a company with a proud British heritage, we are determined to deepen our commitment to Made in Britain through our production and ingredient selection.
Packaging Promise
We are ever mindful of our responsibility to package products in a responsible way to help protect the environment and show kindness to our planet. More than 80% of our current packaging is recyclable and we are on a journey to ensure this only improves.
Through our parent company we are proud to be a founding member of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC), which brings together businesses, educational institutions and government agencies to collectively strengthen and advance the business case for more sustainable packaging.
Goals
Our target of having at least 75% of our packaging recyclable, refillable, reusable, recycled or recoverable by 2025 has been met early. We are proud that as of March 2022, more than 87% of our packaging is either recyclable, refillable, reusable, recycled or recoverable.
One hundred per cent of our forest-based fibre cartons will be FSC-certified by 2025, which means they will be made from materials coming from responsibly managed forests.
As of March 2022, more than 90% of our cartons are FSC-certified.
Materials
We design with sustainability and recyclability in mind. This helps focus our selection of materials and decorations to ensure we create products that get us closer to our goals.
Our classic gift boxes are recyclable and made from FSC-certified materials with at least 70% recycled materials. Our black tissue paper contains 20% recycled fibres fibre/content and is also recyclable while our shopping bags are crafted from FSC-certified and recyclable paper.
Less than 8% of our products by weight are packed in plastic and our bath & body bottles use PET, a widely recyclable material.
Reuse & Refill
We encourage you to reuse our wrapping materials including gift boxes, ribbons and cotton drawstring bags. Whether for practical purposes or decorative effect, these elements can be given a new lease of life with a fresh purpose.
