There are people who hate rose scent and those who love it. And I actually love roses and rose scent! My favourite has to be Jo Malone Red Roses. It reminds me of my childhood and the rose jam my Mum used to make.
I absolutely adore (it was love from the first sniff actually) my Red Roses cologne so I was very happy to receive the Jo Malone Red Roses Travel Candle (£22 for 60G) which is the newest addition to their Red Roses range.
Although it looks really small, the burning time is up to 18 hours which is amazing.
Jo Malone describe their Red Roses scent as ‘Voluptuous, Romantic, Clear’.
The notes are:
- Top Note – Lemon
- Base Note – Honeycomb
- Heart Note – Scarlet Velvet Rose
I am not very good at describing scents, but I would describe this one as sweet and clean one. It is not overwhelming and and if you love roses – you definitely should try it. It really reminds me of freshly cut rose flowers in dew.
The burning is very clean, too. And I like how you can ‘feel’ the scent even when the candle is not lit.
Now I want the Red Roses bath oil even more!
You’ve just convinced me! I never liked roses till I suddenly fell in love with the scent about a year and a half ago. Now I can’t get enough!
