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

This is my favorite Jo Malone colonge hands down. The tea notes are lovely and once it dies down, the cucumber and musk really shine through. This colonge smells like a spa day. I imagine face masks, pilates, spring mornings, and androgyny. This is such a nice versatile unisex scent. Its not overpowering, but it is strong and lasts almost all day. I would definitely repurchase this colonge. Perfect for the spring or summer!

One of the best citrus/tea scents I have ever owned or tried. So fresh, clean, and high-end smelling - a classy spa scent. It doesn’t last longer than 3 hours max after application, but I also don’t mind re-applying during the day. Not a beast-mode fragrance and it doesn’t need to be. This is for someone who just wants to smell good, clean, and a little luxurious without announcing it to the world.

For those who don't like citrus heavy fresh scents but still want a light summer scent, this one is great. The notes combine to produce a light refreshing scent that most will enjoy. It has bergamot obviously for the Earl Grey profile, but it combines with the tea so that it is perceived, at least to my nose, as a unified tea note. A favorite.

This smells so good but I just wish it lasted longer. This is like a grown up version of green tea by Elizabeth Arden, and is so fresh and green while still having that earthy tea vibe. Really really like the sample I got and will probably get the full bottle, but it definitely will need to be reapplied through the day

It’s spicy in a really refreshing way? I kinda love it. Makes me think of earl grey with no cream, much more bergamot and black tea focused. My mom said it gave her a sorta pickle feeling, so if you’re pickle scent sensitive try this one out in store.

smells like taking a bath in a pot of honey-steeped earl grey tea. warm and cozy. wish it had the sillage to drown out every other scent within a 30km radius

Beautiful clean fresh light classy fragrance. I really don't get tea or cucumber from it though.

The 100ml and the 30ml have different ingredients.

Earl Grey and Cucumber sounded lovely. And I am sure it is, but on me it goes straight to beeswax and stays there. Even putting it on clothing rather than skin doesn't make much difference. Must be something in the way I perceive the notes in this fragrance. Luckily I like beeswax - always handy for adding depth to honeyed florals like linden blossom, or layering with frankincense and myrrh if you want to smell like church, highlighting the scent of candles and polished pews.

One of the few scents that actually smells like Earl Grey tea and not just bergamot. The cucumber is subtle but adds a freshness without being overpowering or too green. The vanilla, musk and beeswax add a sweet and slightly earthy quality during the dry down and don't really show up in the opening notes. My only gripe with this perfume is that it doesn't last at all, which is deeply unfortunate as it smells amazing for the 30 minutes that it does stay on my skin.

it’s a very light and fresh scent, but unfortunately it has no lasting power at all. i tried a sample, and after 10 minutes there was no smell left on the paper. at first, i even thought i had accidentally picked up a paper i hadn’t sprayed any perfume on. i can’t really detect the cucumber note clearly. if i were to choose this kind of scent profile, i would definitely prefer wood sage & sea salt.

As someone who's had a cup of earl grey tea every morning for over 10 years, I can guarantee that this smells EXACTLY like earl grey. It's astonishing how photorealistic this is. While this isn't the type of scent I'd normally gravitate to (I only really tried it in-store out of curiosity), I had to share.

I like this very much--it smells pretty much exactly like its name announces, with tea notes dominant, and cucumber behind it, along with some beeswax. Very calm and relaxing, this would work well on its own or paired with other fragrances as a quiet base.

Fabulous It's hit or miss with Jo Malone for me, but this is great. Earl grey tea with a splash of fresh cream. Straight forward, simple, easy wear for any age. Fresh and a bit sweet. Wears light, you won't offend anyone.

Very pretty and smells like a cup of earl grey tea! The dry down has a hint of that tea scent and a beeswax vanilla. It is nice but very expensive and only comes in the large bottles currently.
