Not exactly photorealistic chai, but unmistakably tea
This perfume surprised me as it wasn't what I expected from a chai scent, but I was impressed nonetheless.
At first spray, it's mainly leather and spices. It made me think of antique shops where there's a nondescript smell like incense lingering in the air among the dust—earthy, spicy, and smoky. The spices were very cardamom and pepper-forward, with some ginger peaking through but not a lot. There was a bit rose floating around in there somewhere at first too. It stays like this for about the first two hours.
At the two-hour mark, the black tea starts to shine through rich and a bit earthy. Still in the antique shop, but they brought you a fresh cup of tea to enjoy while you peruse their wares. Then, the spices and leather back off a bit and let the tea be the star of the scent. It gets a little sweeter around the three or four-hour mark with the vanilla, musk, and milk slowly but persistently emerging.
This has great longevity, lasting about 10 hours on me. Like the title says, it's not photorealistic chai tea/latte but it is a wonderful and intriguing take on it. I'm not a fan of leather in fragrances but I love this nevertheless as the leather is more manageable and balanced by some other notes.
