Dallachaï

15.10.2024 I just received it today, so as of my first impression: Passionfruit is the most dominant note to my nose. After spraying out, the coffee note is quite Intense, it’s rather coffee beans to my nose than an already prepared milky latte. The spices are amazingly maching the scent. It’s a frag that I cannot really compare to anything, but It’s a tropical fruity, spicy, exotic experience. At the drydown, the Musk comes a bit ahead and I think it becames also Sweeter. Love it overall. 17.10.2024 I enjoy it more and more. Do not expect an intense coffee note in here. The passionfruit and saffron are more dominant to my nose. It’s a blond coffee, with spices with an INTENSE tropical twist, which lasts from the first spray till the end, probably this is the strongest note in here. Very unique parfum. I think you will either love or hate this one. I love it, But I am not convinced yet if I want to smell like this. Maybe from time to time. Scent: 4/5 Longevity: eternal Sillage: in the first couple of hours (3-4) you will leave a well noticable trail, (outdoor as well. My father was outside when I arrived home, I went into the house for a moment, to put my stuffs down and as my father was approaching and he arrived to the same way where I passed by to go into the house, he noticed my fragrance even before I came out of the house to greet him. ) Afterwards it will be still there, but less intensely. Projection: first 3-4 hours people will notice it if they approach you within 3-4 meters, afterwards it will move to within armlength, but still noticable for others if they are for example talking with you face to face. Safe blind buy? I don’t think so, only in case you are into tropical fragrances or you enjoy meeting new fragrances and having new experiences.

Well, I personally love it. I'm glad that I didn't go for any of the negative reviews and tested it myself. It does smell like Indian chai to me...in the best possible way. Just what I was personally looking for. What was interesting was that the lady behind the counter was trying to sell me all the floral perfumes of Montale and I had to specifically ask for Dalla Chai. She didn't know it herself and it was the first time she smelled it, too. Her reaction (even though she was supposed to sell this to me) was the face of total disgust. As if she was smelling a rotting fruit or milk gone off. She couldn't hide it. Whilst I was sniffing my sample of Dalla Chai and had the time of my life. She wanted to take my sample away and give me another one of the generic floral scents, but I wanted to keep on sniffing Dalla Chai and spend more time with it. I actually had to tell her that this was exactly what I was looking for and that I liked it. She was completely baffled. Shows you how differently we interpret scents. To me this doesn't smell bad at all. It doesn't smell off, it doesn't smell synthetic, it doesn't smell badly blended. To me it smells like a wonderful Indian chai, which I personally love. I'm happy that I tried it myself and didn't listen to the negative reviews. It's interesting how differently we experience scents. To me this is great.

Dallachaï is a unique experience inspired by Eastern tea notes, but it doesn’t deliver them in a traditional way. From the very first spray, the scent of passionfruit is clearly present and stays throughout the entire life of the fragrance, giving it a stable and recognizable identity. Hints of guava appear here and there, but they’re subtle and scattered. The passionfruit remains dominant. Saffron is also noticeable—bright and clear—but never harsh or overwhelming. Instead, it adds a warm and elegant Eastern touch. As the fragrance dries down, the fruity brightness softens, making room for a creamy base of milk blended with saffron. I personally didn’t detect any coffee or clove notes, despite what some reviews might suggest. In terms of overall impression, the scent strongly reminds me of “Oud Maracujá” more than it does of traditional Arabic tea. In fact, I believe it’s more likely inspired by that fragrance, as they share a similar DNA built around fruity and saffron notes. This fragrance truly stands out. It’s distinctive, rare, and nothing like the typical scents you find around. It’s perfect for winter evenings and special occasions. I don’t recommend it for summer or sunny weather—it’s simply not made for heat. – Omar | Honest Nose

Some fragrances take us back to specific moments, to memories that will always stay with us. Dallachai is one of those fragrances that I consider as such, of which when I had the privilege of trying it, I didn't even suspect its release. I put it on one early autumn evening, in one of my favourite cities: Cannes. The joy of that moment, enjoying the atmosphere of a place that is magical to me, being in a place that until recently I could only watch from afar (but that's another story) and not least, being stopped by people asking me what perfume I was in, can only have made it so special. For me, it is a wonderful Cappuccino with oriental and spicy nuances, chic, gentle, but also impactful, enveloping you with a wonderful scented cloud, which trust me, lasts a very long and follows your body, making itself perceived and then vanishing unexpectedly, creating something extremely charming. It reminds me of unexpected kindness, smiles, beautiful and genuine encounters. Truly a beautiful creation, which I can definitely say I listed among my favourites. ‘Balloon Girl’, a beautiful work of art by Banksy.

I bought a 100ml from the scent room in LA and this is a really amazing night time type fragrance (spefically sunset) i love the passionfruit note it smells peachy with a bit of spice and milky accords too. I barely get the notes of coffee, don't get it if you want a coffee forward fragrance Update: i rarely smell coffee or there's no coffee smell at all, it smells like a chai boba milk tea with the brown sugar syrup Overall: i really like this fragrance and I want to thank the guy who recommend me this fragrance and letting me to try it out from scent room, he said he wears it himself and to wear it if you want to smell very unique and want to stand out from the crowd I give this fragrance a: 8.7/10 (Side note:the bottle color reminds me alot of foundation for some reason)
