I consider myself a tea, connoisseur and drink try very often. I have been on the hunt for the perfect chai fragrance for several years now. I am happy to report back that I have finally found it! I was stunned with just how beautifully blended this fragrance is. I am excited to try more of Anjali’s creations!
this is an AMAZING fragrance. I will be purchasing the bigger size when it is restocked. It is so cozy and comforting. Perfect for the colder months, cozy days at home, and as a bedtime fragrance. The notes are perfect and distinct. Literally could rave about this for days!!!!!!!!!!
I really like the way this smells; it is spicy and comforting, then mellows into the most interesting smell. I can't stop smelling my arm when I wear it.
A lovely chai scent overall! The clay note comes across as wet clay to my nose, which makes this smell interestingly cooling and fresh. I was hoping for a warmer chai for these colder months, but I think this would work all year round.
This is the most easy-wearing, cozy and comforting coffee leather fragrance with just the faintest hint of vanilla. The wool note brings so much character to the composition. Idea scarf scent for the autumn and winter - I'm using up my travel size way too fast and will definitely need to always have a bottle of this in my collection.
Truly, one of a kind discovery set. Haven’t been able to go through all however monsoon madness is the perfect perfume for me.
It’s been a while since I’ve tried a sample set that I’ve completely fallen in love with. All of Anjali’s scents transport you to different scenes in your mind. Jaya is by far the stand out for me. I’ll definitely be getting a full bottle! Sea glass and Iconic Island are also full bottle contenders for me too. The packaging is also very elegant and comes with test trips and the individual perfume cards.
This is nuclear. I get a faint chai beverage and more ginger biscoff cookie. Like intense. It’s not wearable for me but this is a wonderful creation, brand and local for me. If you are needing major projection in your fragrance, this is the one.
The most beautiful, realistic cup of chai tea! So comforting and cozy. Inside the clay cup, cardamom and ginger spiced black tea swirl around creamy milk with a warm biscuit in hand!
I’d been on the search for perfumes that represented the Indian scents like sandalwood and jasmine that I’d grown up with, and a reddit thread led me here. Even before I tried the perfumes, I was impressed by the contents of the box they came in. It was so personal and thoughtful, with a penned note and separate note cards for each scent with beautiful illustrations, as well as a description of the inspiration behind each scent.
Then came testing the scents, and Jaya was easily the victor (yes, pun intended). It reminded me of an Indian wedding with that sweet rose water floral smell in the air. Mantra and Monsoon Madness were my other favorites, both with distinct profiles. As any Indian knows, mangoes are a non negotiable inclusion when talking about flavors of the country, and Under the Mango Tree, with that raw mango top note was an excellent surprise.
Highly recommended!
Iconic Island was beautiful on first spray. It is an almost translucent scent, light and airy florals and herbs. However, the more it dried down, the more I smelled violet, which smells like body odor on my skin. I hope to see Anjali make another bright floral without the violet note that seems to be so popular in perfumery right now.
This is one of my faves from Anjali. It’s fresh but has enough woodiness for cooler weather too. It’s such a well blended fun fragrance and I’m so happy to have it in mycollection!
A beautiful soft and fresh fragrance that leaves a most amazing subtle trail that makes people compliment and what are you wearing? Truly in love with this creation!
Interesting and beautiful fragrance. Very unique but in a wearable way.
I purchased a 10ml just to try it out, and I fell in love! I will definitely be getting a full bottle. It's such a beautiful, warm, rich chai! Highly recommend. The packaging and presentation was beautiful as well.
The opening is great but then it goes into the dry down and the clay note takes over. Sadly it wasn't for me - it lacks sweetness and i couldn't smell the biscuit or the chai because of the overpowering clay note. I wish it was more chai forward. Beautiful packaging tho! :)
Ethereal scent. Sweet yet not totally gourmand. Something here is just magical.
(Also fantastic customer service! My bottle came leaking, no doubt bc of USPS & their handling, but Anjali immediately responded in the sweetest way and shipped a replacement out. Very kind and appreciated!).
I have not even tested anything yet. The beautiful smell coming from the box as I open it already won be over! The samples come in a cloth bag and there is a story card to accompany each scent and the test trips. This is such a beautiful presentation. The hard part will be figuring out what full bottle to wear! Im blown away!
Beautiful scents with clear purpose and execution. She shows her mastery of the materials. Truly evocative. I loved Monsoon Madness from my sample set.
This is the peach fragrance of my dreams. The combination of peach plus florals is well balanced and the powdery orris made me think of peach fuzz.
