Tea Party with Jo Malone

Limited Edition Tea Fragrance Blends

Would you like to have a tea party with Jo Malone? Yes, please!

Well come tomorrow, you can! Jo Malone is launching a collection of limited edition, travel-friendly Tea Fragrance Blends ($55). Inspired by British tradition (he’s going back to his English roots), it was only proper he create three classic tea base fragrances –Assam & Grapefruit, Earl Grey & Cucumber and Fresh Mint Leaf followed by two additional scents; Sweet Lemon and Sweet Milk, which can either be worn alone or on top of the tea scents.

So how do you take your tea? I’m a mint girl myself, so I previewed the Fresh Mint Leaf fragrance, and for creativity sake added Sweet Milk on top. Apparently I take my fragrance exactly the way I do my tea –with nothing added (okay, sometimes I mix in lavender-honey, but that wasn’t an option). The Sweet Milk was pleasant, but sweet –and since when do I like sweet fragrances? And although it wasn’t my cup of tea (pun intended-I couldn’t resist) it was pleasant and wearable (it had a hint of vanilla-almond to it). As for the Fresh Mint Leaf, it was crisp, clean and comforting. There’s something so refreshing and calming about the smell of freshly-picked mint! Jo Malone did a great job of taking these unexpected scents and refining them into every-day fragrances.

Try them for yourself! Visit your local Jo Malone counter and have a tea sampling party. No RSVP required, just bring your neck!
