JO LOVES Orange Tulle Fragrance
This is my absolute favourite of the JO LOVES fragrance collection, but in all honesty, it’s a very close race. The bottle is nestled inside Jo’s signature red and black, matte varnished box, tied at the top with a bow of black, logo emblazoned ribbon. The box is a true luxury to open, coming away…
