pretty but fleeting

This has become one of my favorite scents for the summer. For some reason, nectarine did not click in my head that it was a kind of fruit--I just thought it was a flower. But now that I know, I do remember eating nectarines when I was younger, and the taste is like the smell of this. This is tart, lightly sweet, and a little bit of green. I don't think it's fruity floral gourmand, but it is more like a fruity green (like Nina Ricci's Liberty Fizz or Acqua di Gioia). Lasting power is not very good on me, maybe 3 hours at most. However for a light fragrance, that's not bad.

I would agree, they are well-crafted and very good for work. I also use this one in particular on a hot day when I want to smell nice but not feel "sticky" or overwhelmed by fragrance.

Low sillage is just the ticket when you work with the fragrance intolerant. I swear by JM and AG for conservative work environments. They may be fleeting, but they are well-crafted IMHO.

I guess thats what happens when you make a fragance mostly from top notes... I love many Jo Malone fragances, but she doesnt lie about the longevity since they are marketed as colognes...

There are only a few from Jo Malone that stick. This isn't one of them.

"pretty but fleeting" sums up my entire experience with the house of Jo Malone! :-)
