Chakra

I discovered Chakra through a friend when I was visiting her apartment and getting ready for her birthday dinner. The scent was intoxicating and mystical and I asked if I could try it. It had a great sillage on her - on me it seemed to get absorbed into my skin more quickly, but that is how almost all fragrances work on me so I wasn’t surprised. I ordered some online and have been wearing it steadily since. I am a fan of Frederic Malle’s “The Secret”, which is very strong (some might say too strong!) so I have substituted Chakra as my go-to scent and I wear the Secret more on special occasions. Anyone who likes refined rose floral and incense notes should appreciate this scent. I think it’s very elegant so some might prefer to wear it at night but I find it very versatile. Grateful to have found it!

I've owned a bottle of Chakra for 5 years now and it's a perennial favorite. I've been interested in other rose fragrances before - especially rose/leather/wood fragrances - but never pulled the trigger because I don't like any of them as much as Chakra. The tobacco and leather add a dark edge but despite a profile that sounds sort of heavy and imposing, I find this fragrance to be very wearable and not heavy at all. I feel like this could have something to do with the high-quality natural ingredients that are used to make this perfume. When I get through my bottle, I will definitely be repurchasing and I look forward to wearing this fragrance for years in the future.

I have nova chakra and have been loving it for the summer weather...it dries down a bit powdery on my skin from the rose but also has an oily and warm edge to it that works so well in the hot weather! It’s floral without being too overwhelmingly sweet which I really like. Florals and musks are my favorite and I find that so often they don’t last in a way that works for my skin, they get sharp or just totally disappear which I don’t find happens with Chakra. It’s also an unusual mix of the two which can be very polarizing depending on how they are used, but here I really enjoy it. One of my current favorites!

This is my favorite scent and one that friends remember. It’s not overpowering but it’s often noticed and I’ve often received compliments about it. I’ve also gifted it to friends and have found it changes slightly on different people’s skin. I find it has a little tea, a little woody with a slightly sweet floral note, which makes it very adaptable as an everyday, every-situation suitable scent. I’m a little sensitive to some perfumes but this only is the right balance for me.

Love this scent, it's very unique. Warm, sensual and absolutely not something you will find someone else wearing. A great signature scent thats very intoxicating. I first spotted it at Catbird in New York years and years ago and it stayed on my wish list for a long time before I sprung for it a few months ago. Stays forever so its a really great value.
