Jo Malone London Darjeeling Tea is a Cologne launched in 2016, created by Serge Majoullier. Darjeeling Tea opens with Green and Artemisia, and settles into a heart of Jasmine and Freesia. Jo Malone London's Darjeeling Tea carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Seriously divisive. Some adore this for its subtle green floral charm, while others find it a bland, overpriced missed opportunity with not much tea for a 'Tea Collection' release. Expect a quiet skin scent that won't scream for attention.

About

Opens with a brisk, slightly bitter green burst, hinting at something herbal and fresh. This quickly mellows, allowing the gentle white florals of jasmine and freesia to unfurl. It's a predominantly green and clean floral experience, with a subtle aromatic edge that provides a sophisticated backdrop. Don't expect a strong tea note; it's more of an atmospheric suggestion.
