Scented lotions typically have a lighter fragrance compared to traditional perfumes and many of them are formulated with natural botanicals, and tend to absorb into skin in a way that isn’t too overpowering. If you can’t get enough of Jo Malone’s signature scent, lather this lightweight yet deeply nourishing formula onto skin for a pampering treatment. You may even forget that you’re not wearing perfume.
