Chai

I have finally found the chai tea fragrance we all are searching for! No it is not remember me. Surprisingly. Before this morning, it was a tossup between that one and Blue Madeline. No more! It is now baruti chai and I am just as surprised as you are. This brand is very experimental and very indie. I have not tried everything from this brand as of yet so I haven't made a formal opinion about whether or not I recommend this brand as a whole. I have tried oh my deer! And let's just say, these two fragrances cannot be farther apart. That one is tough to wear by everyone’s standards and my hat goes off to the person that can pull it off. I'm sure there is someone out there who can! And I don't particularly think it's a bad fragrance, but it is definitely musky. This one on the other hand, is one of their more mainstream fragrances. It simply is a great cup of chai tea. Perhaps been brewing for longer than usual just because of how intense it is. And that's pretty much it! If you can imagine a high quality chai tea in every sense of the word, this is what you have in front of you. If you put honey in your tea, you get a little bit of that in this as well. And of course you have the signature base that has a little bit of animal behavior. But it's all pretty straightforward. A beautiful chai tea scent and one of the best from the brand. That's all that needs to be said. I highly recommend if you are looking for something like this or you are a fan of remember me etc.

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 I said, it's not a 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.

Baruti Chai is a wonderfully aromatic gourmandish oriental. It's my new favourite. The pronounced black tea note is dark and delicious, the milk is warm and creamy, the cocoa powder adds some dryness, then a pinch of ginger joins in with a mild zesty kick in the background. I can also smell the cardamom but but not too much, my skin tends to highlight cardamom in most fragrances but in this one the cardamom is masterfully blended to create a warm, spicy accord. Fantastic fragrance, I recommend to oriental gourmand lovers, it's a delight to the senses, not to sweet and deliciously complex. It's an Extrait de Parfume so the longevity is excellent, so is the sillage. It's going to be one of my staples for the upcoming colder months for sure.

This is a mesmerising scent that has turned quite a few heads in my office! I bought a bottle a couple of weeks ago, and this is hands down the most realistic Chai perfume I've ever smelled in my life. I've had people consistently come up to me every day for the past two days asking what I'm wearing and where they can get it too. A warm, comforting bottle of deliciousness. I remember the first time I ever sprayed it in a shop, I sprayed it on my scarf and it lasted about 3 months on the scarf - the longevity is beastly. On the skin, I can smell it for 24-48 hours (if I don't shower haha) but even after the shower it still sometimes smells. Really well rounded, balanced and addictive. 10/10 - my new favourite.

I've been hunting for a good chai latte-type scent that isn't just a slightly different vanilla/caramel and this is super good! 5/5 for me :) Peppery spices, with a strong cinnamon and clove presence, that reminds me of a local tea/crystal shop and incense. While it doesn't smell edible, like a chai latte, it's really pleasant and cozy! Be warned though, if you or anyone who lives with you is sensitive to scents, this one is room-fillingly strong! A spritz on each wrist and each side of the neck is more than enough to surround you for hours. Update: I wore this on a date and woke up the next day still smelling like spices! Definitely plan to buy a full bottle in the future!
