What does Chi smell like?
Most voters wear it in the cold months, for evenings and nights out. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. It reads more masculine than feminine, though some voters call it feminine.
It opens with Italian almond, Guatemala coffee bean, Turkish caramel and milk, a sweet, gourmand start. In the heart, soil, Cambodian oud, white Alba truffle and Indian patchouli add an earthy, spicy weight. It dries down woody and resinous on vetiver, Indian oud, vanilla blossom and tonka bean.
