There is nothing more luxurious than roses, is there? They represent true beauty, in my opinion. I have experienced the scent of roses in so many different forms, that it usually turns me off, with one exception. That is with the scent of roses from Jo Malone.

As Jo's Red Roses Cologne is blended from seven different types of roses from around the world, the scent is surprisingly clean, yet openly voluptuous, just like the rose. With a hear of crushed violet leaves and a hint of lemon, nothing smells more real except an actual bouquet of fresh cut roses.

This Red Rose Cologne, along with the Bath Oil is Jo's entry for breast cancer awareness this month. Jo Malone will donate $15,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in connection with the North American sales of each of these products.

Both beauties are available at Jo Malone Shops, Bergdorf Goodman, and select fine retailers, as well as online, of course.
