Jo Malone's new ‘uplifting and classy' perfume is an Italian holiday in a bottle
The brand new Jo Loves With Love from Como A Fragrance has finally landed on the shelves, and was inspired by Jo's memories of summers on Italy's Lake Como. A 'celebration of dolce vita', the new perfume invokes feelings of breezy days, sparkling water and sun-drenched skin – everything you could want from a summer fragrance.
Floral and garden-inspired Yardley perfumes reduced to £11 in little-known 80% off scent sale
'I found the perfect summer perfume that smells like a tropical holiday and lasts all day'
The new perfume is available at both Space NK and directly from Jo Loves for £135 and is part of the brand's exclusive Studio Juice collection. With Love from Como is a unisex fragrance that recreates the vibrancy of sunny days in Italy and brings you a little glimmer of summer every time you wear it.
With Love from Como opens with crisp notes of mandarin, rhubarb and grapefruit for a zesty, citrus scent. It has heart notes of basil and tamarind to give it a more aromatic and subtly spicy depth, before finishing with base notes of cedarwood and musk for an earthy feel that's long lasting.
The perfume is sure to be a hit with fans of the original Jo Malone fragrances, particularly if you love the Orange Blossom Cologne, £118, which is said to be one of Kate Middleton's go-to perfumes. The Orange Blossom scent also combines zesty clementine flowers and orange blossom with water lily and warm undertones of orris and balsamic vetiver.
You can also pick up similar orange-based scents with Phlur's Tangerine Boy for £99, which is both zesty and spicy with notes of lemon, ginger, black pepper, tangerine and apple. For a more budget-friendly pick, The Body Shop's Full Orange Blossom Eau de Parfum is £42 and is infused with orange blossom absolute from Egypt.
However With Love from Como has already been a big hit with fans, with one Space NK shopper writing: 'This scent is super fresh and bright, like citrusy air on a warm day. It opens with a clean, watery feel and settles into something soft and slightly floral. It's not overpowering but still noticeable, and I get compliments when I wear it. A great daytime fragrance that feels effortless and breezy.'
Over on Jo Loves, another reviewer called it: '"Memories of Italy - uplifting and classy" before adding: 'The box is fabulous, then on opening the box I was greeted with a beautiful scene of Como on the bottle and just like this scene the fragrance is classy, fresh, uplifting and addictive, provoking memories of our Italian trip last year. The fragrance doesn't last very long on my skin (which isn't unusual), so I also spray my clothes. As we are having such wonderful weather at the moment, a spray of Como, close your eyes and you will be transported to an Italian memory.'
One did mention, however: 'Very disappointing after last years special edition sell out 'With Love From Positano'. This years 'With Love From Como' is very light on the citrus with strong tones of cut grass. It's pleasant but not for me. An expensive purchase which sadly will not get used. Bring back 'With Love From Positano' please!'
But another disagreed saying it was "Summer in a bottle" and adding: 'What a wonderful scent. It is full of citrus and is so fresh. Great to have a scent that lasted and didn't wear off quickly.'

Space NK's Glow Edit Is Its Best One Yet, And It's Perfect For Your Next Holiday
When it comes to nailing summer-ready make-up, the secret lies in your skincare routine. With so many products to choose from, selecting the combination to give you an envious glow can feel like a minefield. If your eyes are glazing over at the thought of your next beauty haul, let us let you in on a cult-followed clever solution: Space NK's beauty edits. These collections have a special place in my heart; as an ex-beauty advisor, I look forward to the launch of any limited-edition kits to discover new beauty favourites and replenish my trusty old faithfuls, and I constantly recommend them to friends and family stuck in a skincare rut. A favourite of beauty aficionados, the expertly curated kits are total crowd pleasers (I loved the everyday make-up kit and the wedding beauty edit, FYI), but the brand's latest release might just take the top spot for me. When I got my hands on The Summer Glow Edit, £65, I felt like a kid on Christmas Day. If it's just-stepped-off-a-plane-from-Bali skin you're craving from some of the most exciting brands in the business, look no further. 1. Shop: Space NK The Summer Glow Edit Pros Great value for money Includes viral, sold-out faves Cons First up, Vida Glow's 6-Day Collagen is a great way to get the glow from within. It allows you to ingest your glow-boosting ingredients by adding them to any beverage. Cleanse with Tata Harper's Regenerating Cleansing to encourage cell turnover, and follow that up with vitamin C-rich products (the MVP for radiance) like Tatcha's new Brightening Serum and Sunday Riley's CEO Afterglow. One product that I hadn't tried previously, but has quickly become a new favourite, is the Innisfree Glow Jelly Cream. I am all for an illuminating moisturiser, and this one ticks all the boxes. I was thrilled to see the viral Space NK shimmer body oil included in this edit, too. As soon as it launched, it immediately became noteworthy, with many beauty fans comparing it to Sol's version, but for a fraction of the price. Finally, just when you think you can't get enough radiance, you'll find a glorious highlight stick from Westman Atelier in shade Nectar, which reviewers agree is the icing on the cake. Worth £158, you can snap up this holiday-ready edit for just £65, but you'd better move fast, as we're predicting it won't be around for too long. Head to Space NK to shop. Space NK Caribbean Shores Shimmer Body Oil in Golden, 100ml Vida Glow 6-Day Sample Pack Sunday Riley CEO Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Cream, 30ml Westman Atelier Petite Lit Up Highlight Stick in Nectar, 2.5g Tatcha The Brightening Serum, 10ml Innisfree Cherry Blossom Glow Jelly Cream, 15ml Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser, 50ml Georgia Scott is a beauty commerce writer for Grazia.

BBC Radio legend exposes huge music icon as the most 'unpleasant' celeb she's ever interviewed
Radio legend Jo Whiley said the star left her feeling "so tiny and so stupid" during their interview. BBC Radio One legend Jo Whiley has revealed the name of the rudest famous person she's ever interviewed in a jaw dropping confession. The 60-year-old veteran broadcaster interviewed countless stars during her time as a radio DJ. However, speaking to fellow presenter, Zoe Ball, on their Dig it podcast recently, Jo admitted there was one celebrity who shattered her confidence during an interview which left her feeling "stupid". When asked by Zoe if she had ever felt starstruck during an interview, Jo recalled an interview with one of the world's biggest rappers but it was memorable for all the wrong reasons. Jo told Zoe she was left feeling "so tiny" after interviewing hip hop legend Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, the Mirror reports. She explained: "I remember interviewing Eminem and Dr Dre one time and that was horrible. "I'd interviewed Eminem when he was very young and he was very shy and polite. He kept calling me "ma'am" all the time and he was really, really sweet and humble. "Then a couple of years later he came back on the show but with Dr Dre and the fame had happened and he was just this other creature altogether. "They were just so playful with me - and can I just say they made me feel so tiny and so stupid." It comes as the radio DJ insisted she is not slowing down any time soon after turning 60 last month and saying that she doesn't think milestone birthdays are a "big deal". The mum-of-five said that the interview with Eminem was overall "a really unpleasant experience" as she and Zoe chatted about being starstruck by the rich and famous. Her admission comes after the broadcaster opened up about how she had been struck down by anxiety at the height of her DJing career in the 90s. She told Woman's Health: "I remember doing one gig and I was just so scared, I thought I can't go on like this. This is ridiculous. "It's ruining my life because I'm just such a ball of anxiety. "But then I realised how happy it was making people when I do these gigs and that was a game changer." Jo, is still one of the most sought after DJs in the industry and insisted her 60th birthday, which she celebrated last month, is just the same as any other. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

She told Woman and Home: 'Another birthday really isn't a big deal for me because I don't see age as important. "It's something that you very much don't want to be a thing, but it becomes a thing because everybody focuses on it and asks you about it constantly. "It's a bizarre situation to be in because I'm only another year older than I was last year, and a year younger than I will be next year. There's an obsession with reaching certain milestones due to your age. People focus on it too much."

The Best See Through Beauty Bags To Shop Now
Packing can be an arduous process. The mere thought of 'getting ahead' of it all can be overwhelming. I should know - I've been there. Nowadays, however? I take pride in packing. Not because I'm particularly good at it, but because I have the right tools. At the top of the list, right next to fashionable yet functional packing cubes and my Antler cabin bag, is a quartet of see-it-all beauty bags. With summer holidays a go, it's likely that one in particular has been flooding your For You Page on TikTok. Space NK's transparent travel bags have long been at the centre of every It-girl's #packwithme video, but a flurry of clear case beauty organisers have joined the ranks to ease our packing woes. At the start of summer, Boots entered the aesthetic beauty bag fold with its Transparent Bags in Black, £15, and Pink, £20. Large enough to house your 200ml products, the medium-size bags make light work of getting your make-up into gear. Beauty Pie has just given clear cases a new meaning, with its all new small, medium and large make-up bags available in see-through summer shades of fresh green, zesty yellow and juicy orange, from £14. While there is certainly a flurry of see-it-all beauty bags on the market, I will always revert to my trusty Space NK transparent travel bags. They range in various sizes, from mini to medium and large, which all come in a kaleidoscope of colours, making for easy categorising. There's even a Double Travel Bag, £46, for stacking packing which is handy for those who like to keep everything in one place. As for me, I'm a chronic over packer, but the method to my madness lies in the form of four colour coded Space NK Large Travel Bags, £36 each, which I categorise into make-up, skincare, body care and haircare edits. While a long haul flight hates to see me coming, I've found that this system of packing (while certainly a little excessive) helps to keep me and all my things in check, leaving little room for overthinking and stressing. That's a win in my book. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, using the Space NK Travel Bags 1. Boots Pink Transparent Bag Price: £20 This newly launched medium-sized beauty bag from Boots measures 18cm (depth) x 26.5cm (width) x 10cm (height). Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says, 'Boots isn't new to transparent beauty bags, in fact the first one I ever tried was the Boots Clear Cosmetic Bag, £5, but the high street beauty giant's new take on clear cosmetic bags is far more robust, durable and high-quality, from its thick trimming to the gold zip.' Pros Cheaper price point Effective for medium-size beauty products Cons Only two colours available 2. Space NK Large Travel Bag Space NK's Travel Bags are bestselling for good reason. The large size is perfect for housing all of your favourite full-size products in one place and is perfect for longer trips. The transparent panels make it easy to see what is inside and are fully wipeable. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I am wedded to my Space NK Large Travel Bags, I have four on-the-go when I'm on my travels and love categorising each into separate make-up, skincare, haircare and body care edits to keep my organised. I've used them for three years on the trot and they never fail me.' Pros Large size bag Multiple colour ways Cons High price point than others 3. VIEVE The Essential+ Makeup Bag Price: £25 The Essential+ Makeup Bag boasts a faux crocodile, patent black trimmings (with the signature gold VIEVE badge) along side a top clear panel to keeps your beauty bits organised while looking chic. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'It's obvious that this case was cooked up by a pro make-up artist, like Jamie Genevieve. While stylish in every way from the croc trimming to the satin lining, it is also highly functional and makes for the perfect make-up organiser.' Pros Stylish finish Faux croc trimming Cons 4. Large Makeup Bag in Juicy Orange Beauty Pie's newest travel essential comes byway of three new make-up bags which come in tinted finish and three different summer-friendly colour ways that include yellow, green and orange. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'If you fancy something more exciting than a clear case, look to Beauty Pie's summer coded take on things. While still totally transparent, the three cases available boast a tinted finish aesthetic yet easy product finding.' Pros Eye catching Tinted yet still transparent Cons Only one colour available per size 5. M&S Collection 3 Piece Clear Makeup Bag Set With three different sizes available in one set, this M&S kit really gives you more bang for your buck. Each bag can fulfil a different function for your beauty routine, all while being easy on the eye thanks to the black and cream trims and quality zip. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'This is a seriously clever investment. You'll receive 3 bags for the price of one and a shape that takes a departure from most other clear cosmetic bags which are often square and boxy.' Pros Affordable Three bags in one set Cons Shape of bag may mean you can't pack to the brim Sameeha Shaikh is Grazia's beauty writer, covering all categories to bring you insights on the latest trends, industry news and the products you need to know about, viral or not (most probably viral).
