English Pear & Freesia is a fresh, fruity-floral fragrance built around ripe English pear, bright freesia, jasmine and soft rose petal, with white musk and amber in the base. It opens with a clean, slightly green juiciness and settles into something soft, warm and quietly sophisticated. It sits in the Floral & Escapist mood category - fresh enough to wear every day, floral enough to feel properly luxurious.

Our reed diffusers are 100ml and designed to last approximately 12 weeks with normal use. The exact duration depends on room temperature, airflow and how often you flip the reeds. Warmer rooms and flipping the reeds more frequently will release fragrance faster. Cooler rooms with less airflow will extend the life. Eight natural fibre reeds are included to give you control over intensity from the start.
-
Reed diffusers work best in rooms with some gentle air movement - hallways, bathrooms and bedrooms are ideal. Place the diffuser where air circulates naturally, such as near a doorway or on a shelf at mid-height. Avoid positioning directly under air conditioning vents or in full sunlight, as both will accelerate evaporation and shorten the life of the oil. Bedrooms and guest bathrooms are particularly well suited to English Pear & Freesia because the fragrance is soft and clean enough to live with continuously.
-
Insert all eight reeds when you first open the diffuser and leave it for 24 hours to allow the oil to fully saturate the reeds before the fragrance begins releasing properly. After that, flip the reeds once a week - turn them upside down so the dry end goes into the oil and the saturated end faces out. This refreshes the scent output without wasting oil. If you want a stronger initial hit, flip the reeds daily for the first week. To reduce intensity, simply use fewer reeds.

English Pear & Freesia is one of the most universally liked fragrances in our range - fresh, floral and familiar without being generic. As a reed diffuser it makes a particularly good gift because it keeps giving for around 12 weeks. It is popular as a Mother's Day gift, a housewarming present and a thank-you gift. The white glass bottle and gold collar present well and require very little additional wrapping. If you are buying for someone who likes Jo Malone-style fragrances or fresh florals in general, this is a confident choice.

A reed diffuser releases fragrance continuously and passively - no flame, no switching on or off, no supervision needed. It works around the clock and is particularly good for rooms you want to smell consistently without effort, such as hallways, bathrooms and bedrooms. A candle delivers fragrance more intensely but only when lit, and requires attention while burning. Many customers use both together: the diffuser for ongoing background fragrance and the candle for evenings or occasions when they want a stronger scent experience. The English Pear & Freesia range includes both formats so you can choose what works best for each room.
