Unfortunately no cardamontee
One day in an Ethiopian restaurant, I discovered that their cardamon tea exudes one of the most wonderful smells I have ever smelled. The waiter explained that cinnamon sticks, cloves and cardamon seeds simply simmer together for ages and a little of it is infused with hot water for everyone who orders the tea. - Of course, we immediately bought cloves and cinnamon sticks - as cardamom enthusiasts, we always have cardamom capsules and powder anyway - and tried it out.
Lo and behold, it works. - Next, I started my perfume research ... and came across this very combination at Baruti Chai. -
I actually ordered and received a small sample, which I immediately tried out. - The first thing that confused me was the strong acidity. Lemon tea? But without a lemon scent? Strange. I know from sniffing Twilly that ginger doesn't smell sour in perfumes. Why should it be! - Without further ado, I tested it on my skin and, as expected, it immediately smelled different and better. - It was even really great at first.
After about 20 minutes, it actually reminded me of African cardamom tea. But only briefly. After that, the whole thing becomes strange. Pepper and black tea interfere and, even worse, the acidity comes back, funnily enough without it really being reminiscent of instant lemon tea. There's also a hint of 80s shared kitchen, aaaaah. - What finally remains after hours and hours thanks to the mega shelf life was - well. Let's just say it's the second fragrance where I smelled a "horrible" ending XD XD instead of a nice drydown. Luckily, it then washed off reasonably well ^^. Too bad. Thanks a million for letting me try it out though.
