What does Chai Tea (Cologne) smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated weak. The votes are few, but they point to a light scent that stays close to the skin. The cologne format fits that, so a reapplication during the day may be needed.

The notes don't split into layers; the scent reads as one piece from start to finish. Spicy and gourmand accords lead: star anise, cinnamon and cardamom are softened by milk and sugar, while a green touch sits on the black tea side. Demeter Fragrance Library Pumpkin Pie (Cologne) and Baruti Chai (Extrait de Parfum) have a close profile.
