Oh, I’m so excited! Love the style of the bottles! Can’t wait to try them out. My only concerns are that most tea-scented fragrances are very light and don’t last long. We shall see….
These sound really nice, but I agree, longevity will most likely be an issue and at that price point – may not be worth it. I’ll definitely want to try them though.
Given the size, I’d expect them to be light. But given the price…I’d expect not. So who knows.
Oooooh…..I love tea scents. But unfortunately, I must disqualify these from consideration due to price point! 🙂
But I bet they are absolutely lovely….
No way would I pay that either.
I’m really looking forward to smelling these . The SA at the JM boutique that I frequent told me about these about a month ago . They’re coming out April 1. I’m going to try to be there that day 🙂
And I will saunter in weeks later when they’re all sold out 😉
No lapsang souchong? That’s probably the only one I’d like.
Ditto.
Tea for Two fulfills that for me quite nicely, so I’m glad Jo Malone isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel.
A coffret of 9 mLs would be lovely.i
Ditto! Why 175 ml bottles? 🙁
The bottle size makes me think they’re very light fragrances, to be sprayed with abandon, which makes that price even more insane. They can’t possibly be worth that kind of money.
Yes!!! For all their collections a coffret would be perfect!
Theses sound lovely and easy enough to pop over to JM in the WV but I would never pay that price for Jo Malone. Then again, since Estee Lauder bought J Malone and Le Labo, at 50 percent off I guess it could be worth smelling these.
Good grief, since the EL takeover JM has fairly been churning them out! Ridiculous price, I must say.
Estee Lauder actually took over Jo Malone in 1999. Jo Malone herself left in 2006. Since then the line has been pretty prolific, but exceedingly so in 2015 to the present. Then there are all those limited additions that have Jo Malone fans scrambling to purchase
I’ve become a bit of a fan of the lady herself’s new output under the ‘Jo Loves’ name – just a shame the only shop is 500 miles away in London! She has produced some beautiful fragrances, however, & I look forward to a return visit in December.
How exciting! I’ve never given up on my quest for the perfect tea scent, and I may find it with one of these lovely bottles. Golden Needle, Jade Leaf, and Oolong sound especially wonderful. Surprised they didn’t go for a straight jasmine or more English teas. Not that I’m complaining – almost all of these sound like interesting accords!
I was excited about these until I saw the price. And honestly, I don’t need another 175 ml of anything. 10ml coffret might pique my interest, though.
I love the aesthetic of these but I can’t help but think that if it’s rare tea that you want, nothing beats the real thing in terms of luxury and scent.
