Jo Malone London Jade Leaf Tea is a Cologne launched in 2016, created by Serge Majoullier. Jade Leaf Tea opens with Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Mate, Sesame, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Fir Resin. Jo Malone London's Jade Leaf Tea carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper enigma. Divisive as hell, with some calling it groundbreaking and complex, others labelling it boring and overpriced. If you're after a straightforward tea scent, look elsewhere, but if you enjoy a challenging, evolving green aroma, it might just surprise you.

Its soft projection and fresh, aromatic character make it an excellent choice for office or casual wear where subtlety is key. It's less suited for formal events or romantic dates, as it lacks the bold presence typically desired for those occasions.

About

Jade Leaf Tea opens with a sharp, fizzy citrus blast, evolving quickly into a cool, aromatic green heart. Fir resin provides a woody, almost coniferous backbone, while mate adds an earthy, tea-like depth that’s more suggestion than explicit brew. Frankincense lends a subtly spiritual, resinous warmth, tempered by an unexpected, slightly oily sesame note that emerges in the dry-down, grounding the fresh, spicy top.
