About the Fragrance:
Across India, chai is more than a beverage - it’s a daily ritual, a social glue, a pause button in the middle of chaos. It’s how mornings begin, how conversations stretch into the evening, and how love is often first shared. There’s a reason people say “Come over for chai” instead of “Come over.” It’s shorthand for warmth, familiarity, and time made for each other.
This fragrance is inspired by that very moment: a warm cup passed around between loved ones, the smell of sweet milky tea floating through the air, laughter in the background, and nothing urgent to do.
The top opens with tea leaves, cardamom and ginger, freshly crushed, just off the stove. The heart softens into creamy vanilla, soft florals, and a milk accord that is typical of desi chai. At the base, Mysore sandalwood, suede and cedarwood settle ground the scent, giving it the earthy warmth that chai is often loved for.
