Tchai

A very pretty and delicate black tea / mate scent with enough tropical florals to sweeten it up and to my nose make it more feminine-leaning (anyone can wear it of course), so I was surprised to see this voted as "more male". I could have sworn there was ginger in here, perhaps because it reminds of a chai tea latte, but there isn't! I think it's the cardamom and sandalwood creating that effect on my nose. To me, this would be an ideal Autumnal scent, but it doesn't seem to project at all on my skin! I'll have to spend more time testing this but so far, while I love the scent unquestionably, I've fallen a bit more for Loon of the same house as that performs quite a bit better for me (and smells equally divine). Hima Jomo is a really interesting house with a beautiful aesthetic working with immensely talented perfumers, so I'd love to add something from this house to my collection. And all I've smelled from them are SO natural smelling.

Such a beautiful fragrance. Smells so natural. Also wonderful packaging and story for the brand. Woody and tea with light florals that are not overwhelming. Each of the notes blend so well with one another that it feels like one cohesive scent. Florals give an almost aromatic herbal quality. Not the best longevity or sillage and a bit pricey for 50 ml. But I bought a bottle and keep a small sprayer of it in my bag to refresh throughout the day.

Opens with a blast of wet violet leaves and tea Dry mate accord in the back but is coming front As it dries a bit the notes merge together along with dry woods and you get an interesting dry tea and woody blend with violet qualities Cardamom becomes more prominent adding spice and dimention to it Not a very safe scent but beautiful none the less

A wonderful tea fragrance with a faint floral and soapy aspect to it. When i spray it on my arm initially, i can barely smell it up close, but i smell it in the air all around me for over an hour. Which leads me to believe it may be a victim of olfactory fatigue. After about an hour, the scent buble has drawn closer, but not to a skin scent at all. 3 sprays and 3 hours in, it's still coming of my arm enough to pick it up at at least an arms length, or in the air when there is movement in the air for any reason. It's fantastically clean, fresh and aromatic and every wiff i get is a joy. This is to me a spring, summer, and fall fragrance. I don't think it's got the power to stay alive in the coldest days. It's perfectly unisex, and wearable for any age. It has the slightest of sweetness to it, but is not at all sweet. Like adding a quarter of a sugarqube in your tea. This is a casual to semi formal fragrance. Perfect for a day out with friends, a date or work. It can absolutely be a summer evening scent as well, as it is slightly sexy. I'd swear i'm getting some musk as well. Longevity is about 5-6 hours with projection before dying of quickly to nothing. Pretty perfect for this kind of a scent. Personal score: 8/10. When my decant is used up, I'll be on the lookout for a discount bottle. A wonderful fragrance. Strongly recommended to sample.

Tchai reminds me of a cabin in the woods on a cold, rainy, cloudy, and windy autumn day when you're chilled to the bone, trying to warm up, but the wood’s too wet to start a fire. You sip tea for comfort, but even that’s a letdown because there’s no sugar left. It’s an earthy scent that captures a quiet acceptance of this moment.
