Jo Malone launches new ‘best ever' £59 perfume that smells just like ice cream
Popular British fragrance brand Jo Malone London has just dropped its latest collection for summer, and it's just divine. The Raspberry Ripple collection is, as its name suggests, inspired by the classic ice cream flavour, and inspired by nostalgic childhood trips to the great British seaside.
While a full-size 100ml bottle of Raspberry Ripple Cologne costs £128, you can buy a travel-friendly 30ml bottle for £59 from the Jo Malone website and Cult Beauty (and both come topped with cute candy-striped bows).
Jo Malone London describes this new summery scent as " A scrumptious raspberry ripple ice cream. Sharp-scarlet juices of lush raspberries and redcurrants swirling through white musk. Vivacious and enticing," with a top note of redcurrant, a heart note of raspberry, and a base note of white musk.
As Raspberry Ripple Cologne only dropped today, customer comments about it are yet to build up, but there is one five-star review already on the Jo Malone website, which calls it " another best ever".
"I bought this as soon as it was launched via the early pre-sale, so blind without smelling. I've done that with my last few limited edition scents, which have all been excellent," the shopper wrote. "This is no different and does not disappoint and I love it! Fruity and sharp but with a lovely background hint of subtle musk of some sort! Not too sweet but reminds me of summers and ice creams, It's very distinctive and for me, lasting well. I just love it! The packaging is also lovely, another JM triumph. I'm a big fan!"
Our beauty editor Laura also had a sniff before it launched, and says, "I'm not normally one for fruity fragrances, but this is utterly irresistible. It's much more tart than sweet, and transports me to a particular moment or memory more than any other perfume I've ever smelt. A definitely summer hit."
If, however, beachy, salty fragrances are more your summer scent vibe, you should definitely check out this £25 body mist that's been getting me so many compliments recently; I've even ditched my pricier perfumes for it.
For something similar to this but with a bit more staying power, you could also try Jo Malone London's new Beach Blossom Cologne, £86, or the cult classic Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche Skinscent, which currently has 25% and is down to £43.50.

Last batch of rare final Queen Elizabeth II £1 coins entering circulation
More than 23 million Queen coins are being released alongside 7.5 million new King Charles III £1 coins. The Royal Mint said the last of the Elizabeth II coins, dated 2022, are the rarest £1 coins in active circulation. The late Queen died in 2022 but her coins remain in circulation (Victoria Jones/PA) The historic transition – with the dual release of almost 31 million coins – represents a significant moment for UK coinage, as the nation witnesses the changeover from Britain's longest-reigning monarch to her son and heir on the £1 denomination, the Royal Mint said. The Queen's £1 coins will be the final ones bearing Elizabeth II's portrait to enter circulation. Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: 'This release represents a pivotal moment in British coinage history. The reverse side of the new Queen Elizabeth II £1 coin (Royal Mint/PA) 'As we release more of the King Charles III £1 coins into circulation alongside the final coins of Queen Elizabeth II, we're witnessing the physical representation of our monarchy's transition. 'This dual release creates an exceptional opportunity for both seasoned numismatists and those new to coin collecting.' The Royal Mint is encouraging the public to check its change over the coming weeks, as the new coins begin to appear in pockets and tills across the nation. The King Charles III £1 coins in production (Royal Mint/PA) Ms Morgan added: 'Finding these new coins in your change could spark a rewarding hobby that connects you with the heritage, history and craftsmanship behind British currency.' Since the introduction of the King's effigy on UK coinage in 2023, the 50p and £1 are the only denominations with Charles's portrait to have entered circulation so far. The King's £1 coins feature an intricate bee design on the reverse and are part of the Definitive collection, inspired by the flora and fauna of the British Isles. Some 2.975 million £1s with the King's effigy were released in August last year. The King Charles III coins being struck at the Royal Mint (Royal Mint/PA) In total, there are around 24.7 billion coins in circulation across the UK, with the King's coins representing only around 0.004% of those, making his new coins highly desirable to collectors. All UK coins bearing the Queen's portrait will remain legal tender and in active circulation to allow a smooth transition and minimise the environmental impact and cost.

'After a year of speculation that the BBC's remake was facing the chop, it's now official. 'It's looking like TV's most expensive flop ever.' The BBC was contacted, but refused to comment.
