Earl Grey & Cucumber

stunningly photorealistic, perfectly catching the moment of opening a fresh tin of loose earl grey tea. it's strong and punchy at first, almost suffocating, but within 5 seconds it settles into the most soothing, realistic experience of getting yourself a strong cup of the tea. i can't imagine not having this in my collection - as a tea lover, i use it as my layering multitool. really, the amount of combinations it fits into is just unreal. whether it is to bring in more tea asset into other tea scents that just don't have enough of power in that note (russian tea and o, unknown, i'm looking at you two specifically...), or just creating different scent profiles such as fruity tea, milky tea, floral tea - it's just a magic item. i could go on for days, listing all of my favourite combinations, so i encourage y'all to just try it out and experiment. one thing that i feel like i need to mention is the longevity. i really don't get the hate that jo malone gets for having no staying power. all the ones i tried give me at least solid 6 hours (12h with the cologne intense) of pleasant, linear wafts whenever i move.

Listen, I don’t know what the commenter below me is smelling... but this is not a fake review. If anyone here is from New England—this smells a LOT like Mohegan Sun. I don’t know how to explain it. If you’re looking for a cheap alternative, I recommend Bath and Body Works White Tea & Sage. It’s like 85% the same. I’m not sure if there’s a fragrance they have for it but I have the hand sanitizer and the smell stays on my hands for a few hours. I will say—this scent, as the commenter two below me says, is so comforting. When I wear it, it almost invokes an image of like... a warm fuzzy sweater? It’s a “soft” smell; not soft like gentle or subtle (although it is a gentle smell) but soft in the sense of the texture that comes to mind.

sprayed on my wrist and just could not get over this scent. First spray is FRESH cucumber then it quickly dissipates into the earl grey. like being at the spa with cucumber slices on your eyes but the spa is the inside of a teapot and you’re brewing along with the earl grey tea packet. Then it fades into such a sweet, honey vanilla bean scent that i literally could not stop smelling my wrist like a crazy person. OBSESSED is an understatement this is probably my favorite jo malone scent of all time

This perfume is so comforting and calming. I'm sure this is what Mother Goose smells like. I find myself loving this more and more as time goes on. It's so soft, gentle, sweet and plush. This is "that" girl. The natural beauty who doesn't have to try hard to get noticed. She's effortless yet people are drawn to her for her carefree, cool girl vibe. Something I'll probably always have in my collection! Smells like a london fog in the very best way possible. So, so cozy!

This scent is so confusing to me, because I’m obsessed with it and I’m not sure why. Genuinely I could sit and smell it all day and when I first got it, I felt like I was giving myself headaches with how much I sprayed. I always spray it on my skin and it’s suuuch a nice scent to smell throughout the day, and the earl grey really gives it a bite. Very intriguing green fragrance. Definitely one I have to be in the mood to wear but it’s addictive and so fresh. Love
