MEOVV Sooin’s Jo Malone Perfume: English Pear & Freesia Cologne, Notes and Sizes
MEOVV’s Sooin introduced Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia Cologne among her favorite belongings in Vogue Japan. If you want the same type of product, the word “Cologne” matters: the fragrance name also appears on other products, so a matching scent name alone is not enough.
Where did Sooin talk about this fragrance?
Vogue Japan’s November 28, 2025 MEOVV feature identifies English Pear & Freesia Cologne by name. Sooin described it as a fragrance she had recently been enjoying and using frequently. This is a personal-belongings feature, rather than simply a campaign photograph of an artist holding a product.
The source establishes her choice at the time of that feature. It does not establish what she wears every day now, how many bottles she owns or how much she paid. Those details should not be inferred from a product photograph.

What does English Pear & Freesia smell like?
Jo Malone London describes a note structure of King William pear, freesia and patchouli. That gives you a useful starting point: a fruit-led opening, a floral heart and a woody direction in the base. It is not simply a pear-only scent.
This is the brand’s description, not a personal smell test. If you usually enjoy fruit-and-flower combinations, it can help you decide what to sample. If you are looking for an entirely dry wood fragrance, read beyond the pear in the name before choosing it.
Cologne, body products and home fragrance are different purchases
When searching online, check the full label: English Pear & Freesia Cologne. Products sharing a fragrance name can have different intended uses. A room spray is not the same item as a personal fragrance, and a body product is not automatically the cologne Sooin introduced.
Compare the product category first, then the bottle size and price. This order is especially helpful when a search result shows a surprisingly low price: it may be a smaller size or a completely different product category rather than a discount on the bottle you expected.
Korean price and bottle-size checks
On November 1, 2026, the Korean official store displayed the 100 ml cologne at ₩245,000. The same listing also offered 50 ml and 30 ml selections. This is a Korean retail reference, not a price quote for every country and not evidence of Sooin’s purchase cost.
The source photo alone does not establish which size she bought. Pick a size based on how you will use and carry it. For a first purchase, sampling the fragrance matters more than finding the lowest cost per milliliter. A larger bottle is not better value if the scent turns out to be unsuitable for you.

How to sample it before buying
Try the initial scent and return to it after it has settled. The first fruity impression does not describe the whole experience. If possible, compare the scent on a testing strip with a small application on your own skin, following the retailer’s guidance.
Do not treat an idol’s preference as a guarantee of lasting power or projection. Those qualities cannot be reliably promised for everyone from a product name or a note list. This guide does not assign a fixed number of wear hours because that was not established by the cited sources.
What should you check before choosing a gift?
- Confirm that the recipient wants a personal fragrance, rather than a home-fragrance product.
- Match the full Cologne label and selected volume.
- Check the current local price and return conditions.
- Where possible, let the recipient sample the fragrance first.
Sooin’s choice is a useful discovery point for MEOVV fans. The final purchase should still depend on the actual scent, the correct product format and the recipient’s preferences.
