What does Vanilla Chai smell like?

Cinnamon and cream open it, and star anise, cardamom and saffron add a spiced warmth in the middle. Vanilla and brown sugar lead the base, and the scent settles into a gourmand, creamy, slightly powdery sweetness.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as weak, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It is classed as a women's perfume. Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Cannelle and Dior Fève Délicieuse have a close profile.
