How long does the large English Pear & Freesia candle burn?

Jo Malone rates it at roughly 220 hours. Real-world burn time depends on wick trimming and how long you leave it lit each session.

How does it compare with the classic Jo Malone candle?

This is the large two-wick version, so it burns much longer and scents a bigger room than the standard single-wick candle. The fragrance itself is the same pear, freesia and patchouli blend.

Is the scent strong enough for a large room?

Yes for most living rooms and open-plan spaces. In a small bedroom or bathroom, light it briefly or the pear and freesia can feel heavy.

Does it come gift-wrapped?

Yes. Jo Malone wraps each item in its cream and black box, and the candle can be personalised when ordered from some retailers.

One lidded glass candle in the English Pear & Freesia scent, gift-wrapped. No matches or wick trimmer are included.

Is it worth it over a cheaper pear candle?

If you want the specific Jo Malone scent, the long burn time and the gift presentation, it holds up. If you mainly want a pear scent for everyday use, cheaper two-wick candles get close.
