I have mixed feelings about Jo Malone’s limited editions. On the one hand, I think they tend to take this concept a little far: by the time I sample something of theirs that I like, it’s invariably discontinued, which is frustrating in any case, and all the more so if even while it is still available, the prices are as inflated as they are with this one. On the other hand, some of these scents are really very good, enough to make me forgive their precarious availability.
Oolong Tea might fall into that category: like others have mentioned, it might not smell specifically like actual oolong tea, but it’s really delicious nevertheless, and the combination of notes does make for a rather effective evocation of warm, fragrant, sweetened black tea in general. I usually avoid anything with tobacco in it, but it’s the mellow kind that I don’t mind here, and it goes together very well with the sweet hay, tonka and honey: it’s a rich, borderline gourmand sort of fragrance, the grown-up kind that succeeds in finding the right balance between indulgence and elegance.
So I’m very impressed, and think I could grow to love this one. The only downsides are the decidedly sub-par longevity and the exorbitant price – and combined, they’re kind of a dealbreaker. Still, if an opportunity to acquire a decant ever presents itself, I don’t think I’ll be able to resist…

Dry down is typical vanila and some synthetic molecule
Wholw range is qiute synthetic and too expensive

As a tea drinker, I was disappointed that this scent did not evoke oolong tea in any way. Pass.

This is a very sweet gourmand fragrance; although it’s tea infused, I don’t smell much oolong..
The sweetness is not defined; the cocoa-honey-tonka trinity is in equilibrium and shines alongside damp hay and sweet tobacco (I eat dark chocolate and raw honey sometimes so I don’t perceive them as particularly strong here, especially not more than tonka).
It could be sexier, smokier, and more tea, but still stands on its own as a semi-unique gourmand.
