Oolong Tea

Name: Oolong Tea Cologne
Brand: Jo Malone London

Jo Malone London Oolong Tea is a Cologne launched in 2016, created by Serge Majoullier. Oolong Tea settles into a heart of Tobacco, Honey, Tonka Bean, and Cacao Pod. Jo Malone London's Oolong Tea carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is a real head-scratcher and a classic case of Jo Malone's limited editions causing a fuss. It's a gorgeous, comforting honeyed gourmand for those who get it, but many found it too fleeting and subtle to justify the price or even detect the tea. If you find a good batch, you're in for a treat; otherwise, don't say we didn't warn you about the performance roulette.

Its moderate projection and generally soft nature make it suitable for casual wear and dates, offering a comforting aura.

The inconsistent performance means it's less ideal for office environments where you need reliable longevity and silage.

About

Oolong Tea opens with a smooth, almost amber-like sweetness, primarily driven by a luxurious, non-animalic honey. This is quickly woven into a green, dry hay note, reminiscent of autumnal fields rather than freshly cut grass. A gentle tobacco and soft cacao pod add a warm, subtly spicy depth, providing a sophisticated, gourmand character without being overtly foody. The tonka bean reinforces the overall sweetness, melting everything into a cozy, refined scent.
