Not Your Average Red Roses

By Courtney Kretchman

This Mother’s Day, don’t just arrive with lilies, arrive with Red Roses – Jo Malone’s Red Roses. Much like the expression of “The Face Girl” from Sex and the City, rose-scented fragrances can cause most of us to be weary more times than not. It’s just too soon to smell like our grandmothers.

But, when perfumers get it right, they get it right. And Jo Malone did - as usual.

The Red Roses Cologne by Jo Malone is composed of seven types of roses from around the world. It’s like inhaling a fresh bouquet, but without the musky notes often found. At its core are crushed violet leaves, with soft hints of lemon and spearmint. Once set into the pulse points, this lovely fragrance unfolds like the air on a California spring morning. Fresh, airy and hard not to adore.

Want to add a bit more to the bouquet? Layer the scent with a bottle of Red Roses Body Lotion or cater to her love for citrus by adding Grapefruit Shower Gel.
