A Photorealistic Masala Chai Perfume

Widely described by our customers as the most photorealistic chai perfume, Chai Chai Chai captures the true essence of a steaming clay cup of masala tea.

Top Notes: Biscuit (Cookie), Cardamom, Ginger
Mid Notes: Warm Milk, Tonka Bean, Kadak (Strong) Black Tea 
Base Notes: Sugar, Soft Musk, Mitti (Clay) Accord

Special Chai Masala — Cardamom, Ginger, Clove, Cinnamon

Perfume Inspiration:
Imagine you are on a train journey in India. At night, the train comes to a hissing stop at a small station. On the quiet platform, a chaiwala (tea seller) calls, “Chai, chai, chai!” He serves you masala chai in a humble clay cup. You dunk a biscuit in it and savor the strong brew.

Chai is more than tea; it’s a way of life.

This composition captures notes of biscuit, milk, warm ginger, bright cardamom, kadak (strong) black tea, and a touch of clay.

Under The Mango Tree

Award winning realistic green mango and tomato leaf perfume

Top Notes:  Green Mango Skin, Tomato Leaf, Grapefruit, Bergamot
Heart Notes: Wild Roses, Rose Water
Base Notes: Fir Balsam, Pine Wood, Dust & Hay

Perfume Inspiration:
This perfume is inspired by the mango trees from my childhood in India.

In the Indian rural landscape, amidst green farmlands and villages, you will often find a mango tree standing majestically, but quietly. Its presence is unannounced, but unmistakable. Like a meditating saint, the tree is occupied not with what’s above ground, but with veins of water running deep beneath the soil. Under The Mango Tree perfume captures the fresh green aroma of unripe mango skin and my love for this tree.

Under The Mango Tree was selected as one of the best niche and indie perfumes of 2023 by CafleureBon Magazine.

A sophisticated artisan floral musk that blooms on the skin.

Top Notes: Tuberose, Jasmine Grandiflorum
Heart Notes: Bulgarian Rose, Iris
Base Notes: Musk 
Spice Accord: Saffron, Vanilla, & ‘Gulkand’

Perfume Inspiration:
This perfume is inspired by the monsoon season in India.

In India, monsoon rains make a grand appearance with thunder, lightning, and winds rushing in from the sea. I welcomed the first rain of the season with my arms outstretched, until I was drenched. This time of year, scents of heady roses, divine jasmines, and opulent tuberoses swirl through the air.

If this were a gala, the blooms would outshine the red carpet. This season is an aphrodisiac.

"Monsoon Madness has a humid floral musk vibe, like the heat rising off soaked petal."

"Ethereal scent. Sweet yet not totally gourmand. Something here is just magical."

At Anjali Perfumes, we believe every scent tells a story that deserves a human hand. Each perfume is accompanied by an original work commissioned from a contemporary artist or, in some cases, thoughtfully licensed from their existing body of work.

Perfume Inspiration:
This perfume is inspired by Bainbridge Island in Washington and was created as a part of a scent art exhibit.

Bainbridge is just a 35-minute ferry ride from Seattle, but it feels like a city situated in a nature park. Majestic forests, streams, ravines, meadows, and wetlands—the island’s varied landscape is a treasure. Take a scented journey to the Pacific Northwest with Iconic Island; to the cool, fresh, and green elements of the Evergreen State.

Original artwork for Iconic Island Perfume by © Chris Loud

Chris Loud is a self-taught abstract painter working primarily with acrylic paint and mixed media. He began painting in 2020 after being inspired by the art and artists he encountered during local First Friday Art Walks. What started as curiosity quickly became a committed studio practice. Rather than focusing on a single style or outcome, he approaches abstract painting as an ongoing exploration—one built through layering, revision, and responding to what’s already on the surface.

Top Notes: Italian Bergamot, Peach, Bulgarian Rose
Mid Notes: Peach, Cloves
Base Notes: Orris, Violets, Musk

Perfume Inspiration:
Jaya is inspired by several paintings from the Indian subcontinent created during the Mughal era c. 1700–1800. Several of them depict meeting of two royals in exquisite detail. Flowers bloom in the garden. On a carpeted terrace, a princess pours wine. Peaches, apples, and pomegranates are served on a platter, while the attendants bring jewels and a vial of perfume.

In Sanskrit, Jaya means “victory.” This perfume celebrates the royal couple's victorious union.
