Jenny Glow Nectarine

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.
