With the Easter holidays nearly upon us, and the myriad fraught family dramas they often entail, now might be the perfect time to indulge yourself with a calorie-free fragrant delight with which to becalm the senses and forget about chocolate-covered carpets and tear-stained tantrums (from children and adults alike, we find!)
JO LOVES says: ‘A beautiful rose absolute laced with crushed green lemon leaves gently resting on a bed of wafer thin cedar wood, JO LOVES new perfume, White Rose & Lemon Leaves is a full bloom floral inspired by the distinctive scent of a Norma Jean rose. Perfectly balanced with subtle strands of bitter, peppered citrus and the softest cedar wood, this fresh, elegant fragrance has a unique depth of character that increases as it warms and settles on the skin.’
Top notes: lemon peel, petit grain, pink pepper
Heart notes: white rose oil, geranium leaves, muguet, violet
Base notes: rose absolute, clove buds, honey, amber
We found this to be incredibly dreamy to wear, a welcome relief from the heavier perfumes we’d been favouring pre-spring, and a scent that manages to be both calming and emotionally uplifting at the same time. Just what we need right now – how about you…?!

‘Just like a piece of porcelain, there is something so delicate about holding a rose in the palm of your hand. White Rose & Lemon Leaves combines the fragility of this beautiful bloom together with the familiar scent intensity associated with rose.
To me, white roses represent the gift of love and celebration; welcoming the birth of a new born, held by a bride on her wedding day and often given by my husband and son to make me feel special. White Rose & Lemon Leaves is my interpretation of life’s most treasured and memorable moments.’ – Jo Malone MBE
