The quiet intensity of a well-lit study late into the night, where the scent of smoldering black tea and warm spices fills the air.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Midnight Black Tea by Jo Malone London is an Oriental fragrance crafted by perfumer Serge Majoullier. It opens with the rich and smoky essence of black tea, which seamlessly transitions into a warm, balsamic heart. The composition settles into a musky and woody base that adds depth and complexity, making it a sophisticated choice for both women and men.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in small doses; it has a strong presence that builds on skin over time. The smoky top notes are brief but impactful, so two sprays to the neck and wrists will allow the rich base notes to develop fully throughout the evening.
