Fairmont Hotel Riyadh hosts the tea with scones, sandwiches and scents.

Something sweet is brewing in Riyadh. The British fragrance brand Jo Malone London has teamed up with Fairmont Riyadh to create a scent-sational afternoon tea. Starting on Wednesday, 1 May, the experience blends luxurious scents and teas together. 

Fairmont Riyadh’s Jo Malone London Afternoon Tea takes place in The Savoy Lounge. The menu includes Beef Bresaola with asparagus, mustard and cream cheese; Grilled Halloumi Cheese with pickled walnut and zucchini; and Salmon Éclair with cucumber and avocado. No afternoon tea is complete without scones, and this includes British-baked scones alongside Arabic delights.

Jo Malone London was born in London, England. Created in 1990, it was founded by its namesake Joanne Lesley Malone. Despite having dyslexia and leaving school at 13 years old, she started her own business. The brand is famous for its candles, and also sells bath, body, cologne and home products. In 1999, the company was sold to Estee Lauder Companies, and Joanne went on to create a new line, Jo Loves.

The Jo Malone Afternoon Tea experience is available from 1 May to 31 July from 1pm to 7pm. The experience starts from SAR 250 per person.
