Fresh, floral and fragrant, Jo Malone is synonymous with luxury and indulgence and fragrance fans will be pleased to learn that a new cologne is to be released on September 1st.

Vanilla & Anise Cologne has been created to transport you to Madagascar and capture the fleeting moment of the blossoming rare vanilla orchid.

"The fragile cream and white flowers found on the vanilla vine are a precious discovery: only one or two appear in the morning, and seemingly vanish by late afternoon," said a spokesman.

Lively and uplifting, Vanilla & Anise opens with a burst of bergamot, neroli and star anise, with a touch of spice sparkling above transparent layers of delicate vanilla orchid, oleander and frangipani.

The warmth of vetiver, white amber, vanilla bourbon absolute and the subtlest hint of clove complete the new cologne.

We can't wait to get our mitts on it. Vanilla & Anise Cologne 100ml £64, 30ml £32.

Meanwhile, is your skin suffering from the effects of a little too much sunshine? Jo Malone's Rosemary and Lavender Skin Tonic is a gentle toner with soothing and calming properties that work on all skin conditions to balance sensitivities.

Use it to remove any residue from cleansing products, to prime the skin before applying moisturiser and to add radiance to your complexion.

Rosemary extract helps to naturally calm, while lavender extract soothes, helps to reduce excess oil and balances the skin. Perfect for reviving the complexion, apply before moisturiser.

Rosemary & Lavender Skin Tonic 250ml £27.
