What does Wood Sage & Sea Salt smell like?

Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone London launched in 2014 and is unisex. Its top lists sage, grapefruit and sea salt, and its base lists ambrette and seaweed. On its comparison page, Parfumo classifies it as fresh, aquatic and woody. You can read the house's own page for it at Jo Malone London. A 3ml decant is 9,81 € and a 10ml decant is 25,20 €, so you can wear it for a while before you settle on a clone.

Woody Sage by Dossier has the broadest backing of the six. On Parfumo's comparison page, 31 of 33 voting members found it similar to Wood Sage & Sea Salt, and Parfumo classifies both as fresh, aquatic and woody (Parfumo comparison).

Dossier presents it as inspired by the Jo Malone scent and lists grapefruit, fig, a salty mineral accord, ambery woods and sage (Dossier). Going by the lists, grapefruit and sage appear in both. The main difference is the rest of the frame: Dossier adds fig and ambery woods, and lists neither ambrette nor seaweed.

Wear is where the sources split. One Fragrantica forum member recommends it as long-lasting. Another, who returned many Dossier scents, says this one captures the essence of the original, though not necessarily with long wear (Fragrantica forum). Choose it if you want the clone with the most backing, and expect to judge the wear on your own skin.

Wood & Sage by Jenny Glow holds the closest slot on owner reports. On Fragrantica, a member whose wife wore Wood Sage & Sea Salt for years says both of them find the two very close. The same member calls the Jenny Glow weak on performance (Fragrantica).

A Fragrantica forum member who bought it as an alternative to Wood Sage & Sea Salt says it comes very close. They also find it slightly more synthetic and heavier on citrus, with the sage and salt pushed into the background (Fragrantica forum). That is the main difference to weigh: the citrus leads and the sage and salt sit behind it.

In a thread on replacing the original, several members point to the Jenny Glow version, and one calls it an excellent alternative at a fraction of the cost (Fragrantica forum). It suits you if citrus is what you like most in the original and you are happy to reapply.

Note de Yuzu by Heeley is a related scent rather than a clone. Asked for something like Wood Sage & Sea Salt that lasts, one Fragrantica forum member names it: not the original, but with a lot in common, and longer-lasting (Fragrantica forum).

In another thread, a member suggests it for a similar feeling rather than a close match, and notes it costs a lot more (Fragrantica forum). The sources give no note list for it, so we do not compare notes here. Check its price in the comparison table against the original before you decide. It suits you if staying power matters more to you than a close match.

What does Myrrh & Tonka smell like?

Myrrh & Tonka by Jo Malone London launched in 2016 and is unisex. Its top lists lavender, its heart lists myrrh, and its base lists tonka bean, vanilla and almond (Fragrantica). A 3ml decant is 9,81 € and a 10ml decant is 25,20 €. If tonka is what draws you, our guide to what tonka bean is and the Montale Arabians Tonka dupes cover the note from two angles.

Myrrh & Bean by Jenny Glow takes the lowest-price slot; the price sits in the table. On Fragrantica, one member finds it very close to Myrrh & Tonka but sweeter and less niche, and another calls it similar to the Jo Malone scent it is modelled on. Fragrantica lists lavender and artemisia, myrrh, and tonka, almond and hazelnut (Fragrantica).

Going by the lists, lavender, myrrh, tonka and almond appear in both. The Jenny Glow list adds artemisia and hazelnut and has no vanilla. The main difference reported by members is sweetness. It suits you if you want to start with the lowest-priced bottle and you like the sweeter reading.

A member of a Fragrantica forum thread on the brand lists Jenny Glow's take on Myrrh & Tonka among the versions they like most (Fragrantica forum).

FIORE presents Salalah as its answer to Myrrh & Tonka. Its list runs Omani myrrh, then tonka and almond, then honey and vanilla, with no lavender (FIORE). Myrrh & Tonka opens on lavender and lists no honey (Fragrantica).

We only have the lists for this one, so here is what they show. Myrrh, tonka, almond and vanilla appear in both. The main difference is that Salalah adds honey and drops the lavender top. It suits you if the lavender opening is the part of Myrrh & Tonka you would rather skip.

What does English Pear & Freesia smell like?

English Pear & Freesia by Jo Malone London launched in 2010 and is listed for women. Its top lists pear and melon, its heart lists freesia and rose, and its base lists musk, patchouli and amber. A 3ml decant is 8,91 € and a 10ml decant is 25,20 €.

Dossier presents Floral Pear as inspired by Jo Malone's English Pear & Freesia. It lists pear, bergamot, watermelon and rhubarb on top, quince, rose, freesia and orange blossom in the heart, and woody notes, musk and amber in the base, with no patchouli (Dossier).

Going by the lists, pear, rhubarb, rose, freesia, musk and amber appear in both. The differences are bergamot, watermelon in place of melon, quince, orange blossom and woody notes, and the missing patchouli. Fragrantica lists the same Floral Pear pyramid and calls it a fresh fruity-floral built on ripe pear, rhubarb and delicate flowers. A member there mentions others comparing it with English Pear & Freesia (Fragrantica). It suits you if the patchouli base is what you want to leave out.

What every clone gets wrong

Where a note list is published, none of the clones matches its original note for note. One forum member finds Wood & Sage pushes the sage and salt back behind citrus. Salalah drops the lavender and adds honey. Floral Pear drops the patchouli and adds bergamot and quince. Myrrh & Bean adds artemisia and hazelnut.

Wear is the other gap. One Fragrantica member calls Wood & Sage weak on performance, and the forum is split on Woody Sage. If wear matters to you, read our guide on making perfume last longer, and see the layering guide for stacking one Jo Malone scent over another.

Other perfumes to wear for 3ml first

Four more perfumes sit near these three in the notes. Pacific Rock Moss by Goldfield & Banks lists sea notes, moss and sage. Sel d'Argent by BDK Parfums lists bergamot and grapefruit. Black Gemstone by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 lists myrrh and tonka bean. J'adore by Dior lists pear, melon, freesia and rose.

How to test a Jo Malone clone against the original

Test on skin, not paper. Paper shows the opening and hides how a scent settles on you. Put the original on one day and the clone on another, in the same spot, and judge both late in the day, once each has settled.

A decant makes this easy to do. A 10ml decant of Wood Sage & Sea Salt works out at 2,52 €/ml, and a 3ml decant is enough to wear it on a few days. Do the same for Myrrh & Tonka and English Pear & Freesia before you buy the clone for either.

Then ask one question for each clone: is the difference the sources describe one you can live with? For Wood & Sage it is the citrus. For Salalah it is honey in place of lavender. For Floral Pear it is the missing patchouli. If the answer is yes, buy the clone. If not, you will already know the original suits you.
