Jo Malone London Red Roses is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001, created by Patricia Bilodeau and Lucien Piquet. Red Roses opens with Lemon and Mint, settles into a heart of Rose and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Beeswax. Jo Malone London's Red Roses carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. If you crave a brutally realistic, unapologetic rose, you've found your match. But if you prefer your florals dialled down, best run a mile.

Its potent projection and impressive longevity, especially for a Jo Malone, make it less suited for an enclosed office. However, its romantic and elegant floral character makes it perfect for dates and eveningwear, while remaining versatile enough for casual settings for rose lovers.

About

Imagine plunging your face into a fresh bouquet of deep red roses, stems and all. A zesty lemon and cool mint apertura gives way to a full-bodied rose heart; it's verdant, dewy, and almost jammy, balanced by the waxy, velvety touch of violet leaf. The dry down is a smooth, honeyed beeswax, clinging to the skin with a soft, natural sweetness that extends the rose's bloom.
