What does Ananda Tchaï smell like?

It opens with bergamot and lemon, then ylang-ylang, rose, heliotrope and green tea form a floral heart, with nutmeg and thyme adding a spicy edge. The base settles into a sweet, powdery, woody warmth of vanilla, amber, cedar and white musk.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Most see it as feminine and classic. Rochas Tocade and Bogner Woman No. 1 have a close profile.
