Jaipur Chant

Testing Jaipur Chant from a 2 ml Sana Jardin official sample. Stunning, bubblegumy, sweet, airy tuberose perfume! It’s fairly potent and projects well for the first hour of application on skin. From my collection, it’s reminding me of Giorgio Armani My Way Intense and L’Interdit range without calling Jaipur Chant a dupe for any designer perfume mentioned above. It’s a touch fresher than the two perfumes mentioned earlier, because Jaipur Chant has the top notes heavily revolving around lemon, both as a fruit and as blossom. But once it gets to a deep dry down, it’s certainly a sweet, bubblegum tuberose/jasmine bomb. It’s a sensual, delicious, and inviting fragrance! If you feel like splurging, because it’s a bit pricer than the Armani or the Givenchy, you will get a wonderful perfume for your spring and summer collection. I don’t feel the urge to purchase a bottle for full price (because I have already so many tuberose/jasmine perfumes), but I can’t lie and say I don’t adore the way this scent smells. It’s beautifully done and for white florals fans, it’s 100% a safe blind buy. It’s really good and radiant in the air and makes me smile! Highly recommend Jaipur Chant. For comparison purposes, I am testing Jaipur Chant side by side with another niche perfume, more expensive, also heavy on jasmine and tuberose, Madurai from Memo Paris. All I can smell in the air is Jaipur Chant! Madurai smells more unique but it’s almost instantly a skin scent.. So depending on what you’re comparing to figure if a perfume it’s good value for money, you’ll get different results. Jaipur Chant is the first perfume I’ve tried from the Discovery set and I am absolutely pleased with my experience!

This is very similar to Tuberosa by Miller Harris and Laboratorio Olfattivo's Tuberosis. Both are white floral, buttery tuberose fragrances, but they use soft spices to lighten up the fragrance whereas this uses citrus, which I prefer. The use of citrus not only lightens up the tuberose keeping it fresh, more versatile, and easier to wear but it also adds a sparkling element. While it is definitely in the same light airy white floral vein, I happen to think this is prettier and like it more than either. However, it is not a very powerful fragrance, at least after the initial spray. It softens up quite a lot. After about two hours it becomes close to a skin scent, though it does last for several hours. Fortunately, I can still smell it on myself as it encapsulates me in a little scent bubble of fragrance that is not playing peekaboo but is always there. One thing I am sad about is that this brand went out of business as I really like the concept behind it of empowering women to help them escape poverty. It's too bad it wasn't a successful endeavor for such a noble project, though clearly not for want of trying as the quality of the ingredients used were top notch. Hopefully, they'll be able to start something new to achieve their objective.

This takes me away to India all over again. I never heard of Sana Jardin until recently and I was immediately intrigued because it does not only support and empower women but the essential oils used by the brand are sustainably source. So when Liberty's London reopened I decided to drop by and test the line. I love my white floral and oriental fragrances and so I tried Savage Jasmine which is indolic, Tiger by her Side is a lovely orange blossom and vanilla. I love these two but I already have fragrances that share the same cord so it was not for me until I tested Jaipur Chant. The tuberose in Jaipur Chant is green and uplifting which is something that I prefer in comparison to the dense 'bubblegum' scent. This would have to to be one of those fragrances which is close to a real tuberose. It is heady but not loud. Lastly, I have been to Jaipur myself and I could understand the inspiration behind this fragrance which are white floral garlands found everywhere in India especially in temples. I did get a full bottle of Jaipur Chant, the magnetic cap and exceptional packaging is well thought, attention to detail even the logo is exquisite. Simply divine!

Cream & zest, sparkly and vibrant but quite sweet at the same time. Very well-balanced smell, airy but noticeable and concentrated. Tuberose is a leading note here, beautifully tamed with citrus and some green undertones at the background. Feels a bit like a vintage fragrance but with modern twist. Fragrance has it’s own character, it’s not screaming in your face but more like a person with good maners that catches your attention. For those kind of creations great talent is needed. Performance is great - about 6-7 hours (4 sprays), projection - for 3 hours (after application), than it sits closer to the skin.

You definitely need to like white florals to enjoy this because oof, this is a punch in the face with tuberose and jasmine. Fortunately for me, I love white florals, but this is definitely pretty strong. The lemon lends a sweetness that I enjoy, and the clove gives this a bit of greenness that helps set Jaipur Chant apart from other white floral fragrances. The more I smell this, the more I love it, but I feel like this is something I’d enjoy smelling in an expensive spa or posh hotel lobby, rather than on myself. I like my fragrances to project to about arm’s length, and this one is simply too potent for me.
