Nectarine Blossom & Honey Clones

"### How it Smells Jenny Glow Nectarine opens with a sharper, more pronounced green accord than the original Nectarine Blossom & Honey. The petitgrain and black currant are immediately detectable, presenting a slightly tart, almost grassy introduction. The heart brings forth the nectarine, but it's a somewhat linear rendering; it lacks the juicy, photorealistic quality found in the Jo Malone composition. The black locust note is muted, adding a general sweetness more than distinct floral character. The base attempts to mimic the peach and plum undertones but relies heavily on a synthetic musk, which veers slightly soapy. Overall, it captures about 95% of the original's DNA, but with cheaper, less refined ingredients. ### The Performance Stats Longevity is moderate, clocking in around 3-4 hours on skin. Projection is initially strong for the first hour, then quickly settles into a skin scent. You'll need to overspray to achieve any meaningful sillage. Reapplication is definitely required throughout the day. However, be prepared for a less nuanced and slightly synthetic experience. But, if you need a quick and inexpensive fix, this is a serviceable stand-in. Suitable for casual wear, especially in warmer weather."

"### To Buy or Not to Buy? If you love the idea of Nectarine Blossom & Honey but don’t want to drop the cash, this is a solid option. It's a cheerful, easy-to-wear scent that's perfect for spring and summer days. The slightly synthetic opening might bother some, but it's hard to complain. But if you're on a budget, Nectarine by Jenny Glow is a great daily driver. Grab it! ### First Impressions & Dry Down Jenny Glow's Nectarine aims for Jo Malone's Nectarine Blossom & Honey and lands pretty close. The opening is a juicy nectarine blast, with a slightly sharper green edge than the original. You get that black currant tang, but it's a bit more upfront. The heart is where it shines, delivering a sweet nectarine and subtle honeyed floral. As it dries down, a pleasant peach and plum mix emerges. The vetiver base is nearly undetectable, unlike the original's cleaner dry down. It’s about 95% similar – the main difference being the slight synthetic vibe in the opening. ### Longevity & Projection Don't expect beast mode. Nectarine by Jenny Glow projects moderately for the first hour, then settles close to the skin. Longevity is around 4-5 hours on my skin. It's a light and airy fragrance, so reapplication is necessary if you want it to last throughout the day. Perfect for a quick errand or a casual brunch."
