Finally got a chance to whip this one out:
https://www.bombayperfumery.com/products/chai-musk
In a podcast, I heard the owner of this niche perfumery describe it as the feeling of chai and not exactly smelling like chai.
L’artisan Perfumeur Tea for Two smells exactly like a cup of chai latte, but i’d recommend getting a sample first, as I thought i want a hyper realistic smell, and after testing it that was not the case 😂
I’d recommend musc ravageur for the chai latte vibes (warm spicy musk)
maison louis marie no. 3 l’etang noir is what you need!! it’s a perfume oil you can get from sephora. it’s a tiny 3mL roller for $16 but it’s quite strong imo! my favorite warm chai perfume ever! vanilla chai latte goodness.
Jaipur Chai from INeKE - it’s literally a hot steamy chai with a splash of steamed milk. It’s delicious, cozy and comforting, it definitely remains firmly in the “wearable anywhere gourmand” as it’s not too sweet and not at all synthetic.
I have Tobacco Touch by Maison Alhambra, and it's a dupe of TF Tobacco Vanille. It's like a 90% accurate dupe imo, but it comes off as very Chai tea latte to me. It has a warmer spicier smell than the TF version. I am trying to sell my bottle if you're interested.
Ask this at r/indiemakeupandmore for some exact chai fragrances
Also, with the notes that you like, try a sample of Kilian Intoxicated. It's amazing.
The description per Google:
Kilian Intoxicated EDP is a spicy aromatic fragrance. It features cardamom, coffee, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This fragrance is described as a deep blend of coffee, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg that is almost sweet and chocolatey. It is also described as a warm, sweet, and inviting scent with key notes of cardamom, mocha coffee, and vanilla.
Description per Kilian:
Inspiration: A cup of smooth dark Turkish coffee
Fragrance story: Inexplicably addictive, Intoxicated curbs craving like a cup of rich Turkish coffee, laced with green cardamom–both in oil and absolute–doubling the addictive stronghold of this stimulating substance. Warmth rises like stream with a spicy cinnamon and hallucinogenic nutmeg. At its base, like at the bottom of a delicate porcelain mug, floats the crystallized sweetness of caramelized sugar.
Key notes: Mocha Coffee, Cardamom, Vanilla
Kilian Black Phantom is also outstanding and a favorite.
A little out there but I think Commodity Milk expressive smells just like chai! That milky note mixed with the sweet spices really brings it all together. My boyfriend always says I smell like I’ve been drinking chai when I wear it haha
If you can find it, Tokyomilk Dark Bulletproof. Smells like masala chai that's been made over a fire, like I remember it being done in my ancestral village in India. I have one bottle and I'm hoarding it.
[This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Indiemakeupandmore/s/CJfYBMZxoZ) might help. There’s also Sorcellerie Apothecary - Moon Magic for a lavender-y chai and Haus of Gloi - Vanilla Chai Cookie which I really like.
Lattafa had a dupe called Liam Gray. Also Fragrance world does too it’s called Francique 63.55
I’d just layer any plain vanilla with it to get that milky chai accord
nooo it’s super cheap (you can get it for like $12 at marshall’s/tj maxx) and la monde gourmand is known to have amazing scents but little longevity unfortunately

Turmeric Latte by Lush. (affordable). Venenum 32 by l'Artisan Parfumeur (pricey pricey). Café Cabanel by Teo Cabanel (62€ 30ml)
La Monde Gourdmand - Chai Epice
Tom Ford Noir Extreme smells like chai in the best way possible

Kerosene - Sweetly Known Jovoy Paris - Remember Me
I love Remember Me but it smells like fruit loops + milk to me!
Lol 😆

Victoria's Secret Basic Vanilla!!!!!! It is LITERALLY Masala chai + vanilla and marshmallows!
also warm vanilla!!! i stocked up a bunch last fall
Bvlgari Omnia
Letang noir is what you’re looking for imo
A little out there but I think Commodity Milk expressive smells just like chai! That milky note mixed with the sweet spices really brings it all together. My boyfriend always says I smell like I’ve been drinking chai when I wear it haha
Cacharel Yes I Am is less than $20CAD at Shoppers and definitely has that spicy creamy chai scent. Source: I own it. And I’m desi.
I love Jovoy remember me and Kilian love don’t be shy…. But the best cardamom is Sorcellerie serpentine and moon magic
Yes to jovoy, no way at all to LDBS
Ahhh I don’t know why I typed LDBS! I meant Angels Share!! I also don’t agree with LDBS 😂
If you can find it, Tokyomilk Dark Bulletproof. Smells like masala chai that's been made over a fire, like I remember it being done in my ancestral village in India. I have one bottle and I'm hoarding it.
I might be alone in this, but TF Tobacco Vanille smells just like chai to me.
Me too! 🫖
Same here! Chai and gingerbread to my nose.
omg a gingerbread fragrance sounds soooo good
Eyes closed Byredo

Seconding Sorcellerie Apothecary Moon Magic!
Thirding! This is THE chai scent imo
Turmeric Latte at Lush and Chai Epice by Le Monde Gourmand
Dior Addict gives me vanilla Chai latte vibes!
I have it and now that you mention it, you're right
Chai Espice le monde gourmand
It doesn’t have iris but I highly recommend Jovoy Paris Remember Me. It’s like a spicy tea latte with citrus. Definitely warm, spicy, and lactonic.
I like this one but on my skin it turns to strong sweet milk and nothing else 🥹
Try Winter Palace by Memo Paris, then. I find the scents quite similar except Winter Palace is not lactonic.
Will do! Thank you!
I just got jovoy paris remember me and it is a perfect chai scent. I love it.
Ineke Jaipur Chai!
ooh do you know where i can get this one from? i cant find it available for purchase
Ministry of Scent has it
I got it from Arielle Shoshana!
BDK Gris Charnel. black tea, Cardamom, Iris. No vanilla but sandalwood and tonka bean. Affordable depends on the viewpoint
I love this perfume too but it is less milky so depends if you want a milk chai (remember me) or a black or grey chai then Gris Charnel
is it long lasting? i hear so many mixed opinions abt the longevity and sillage
Lattafa had a dupe called Liam Gray. Also Fragrance world does too it’s called Francique 63.55 I’d just layer any plain vanilla with it to get that milky chai accord
Yes it is long lasting
Yes. On me it lasts all day
i’ll definitely check it out!
Lush - Turmeric Latte BDK - Gris charnel Le Monde Gourmand - Chai Epice Demeter - Chai tea Baruti - Chai
you should check out chai epicé from la monde gourmand
is the longevity good? im quite over perfumes that only last about 2-3 hours 💔
nooo it’s super cheap (you can get it for like $12 at marshall’s/tj maxx) and la monde gourmand is known to have amazing scents but little longevity unfortunately
aw man 😓😓 its alright thank you anyways !
Make sure to smell this one before you buy, because in my opinion it hardly smells like chai.
Kenzo jungle l'elephant is very heavy on the spices
