Jo Malone CBE is famous for her exceptional fragrances but since selling her namesake brand in 1999 and leaving the company in 2006 she's gone on to make a new brand that not everyone realises is by her. Jo Loves aims to allow you to 'reminisce about the most memorable moments in life' with the power of scent - and there's a way to try them for less than £21 a bottle.
Cult Beauty has slashed the price of a Fragrance Duo by Jo Loves containing two of the most popular scents - Mango Thai Lime and Jo By Jo Loves. Normally £50, the two perfume set has been slashed to £42.50 for a limited time, working out at £21.25 per bottle.
A fragrance duo set is an incredible way to discover a new scent and see how it reacts with your skin. Our team fragrance expert Jada Jones insists it's actually better to buy small bottles of perfume to begin with and only purchase 50ml and above once you're certain you will get your use out of it. It's worth noting that after a few years perfumes can start to lose their fragrance so it's truly a use it or lose it situation.

Mango Thai Lime is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women and men that was launched in 2012. It opens up with notes of Mango, Lime and Black Pepper before deepening into middle notes of Mint and Freesia. It's got an interesting base of Vetiver and Thyme which is slightly unusual but makes for a great aromatic base.
One fragrance fan said of the scent: "WOW this is one of the most unique scents I have ever smelled. It’s a summer party in a bottle. I feel like I’ve turned into a fruity cocktail."
A second penned: "One of my all time favourite summer fragrances. It’s fresh and tropical with hints of herbs in the background. It smells almost good enough to eat - very realistic and non-synthetic."
Some shoppers have complained that it smells too much like mango however that is to be expected from a scent with mango in the name. The other included scent was made especially for Jo herself and leans very much into citrus. It opens up with Grapefruit, Bitter Orange, Lime and Spearmint on top of Guaiac Wood, Cedarwood and Vetiver and Black Pepper.
One perfume buff said: "I love this! It is so fresh. Clean. Citrusy. And... I can smell all of the ingredients in it. All of which I love. It smells similar to Pomelo but has other levels to it."
A second penned: "One of my absolute favourites. So fresh and zesty, such a lovely fragrance. A true joy to wear. Suits spring and summer wear best but honestly appropriate for anytime and anywhere. Every time I wear Jo I always surprise myself with just how good this scent feels to spritz liberally!! A classic."
It is worth noting that Jo Loves scents, quite like Jo Malone perfumes, aren't known for being heavy and lasting 10+ hours so this is a scent you may have to reapply throughout the day. If you want something with more longevity then Un Jardin Sur Le Nil by Hermès is a good option.
You can get both Jo Loves scents for £42.50 from Cult Beauty.
