What does Golden Chai smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though only a small number of voters have weighed in, and they find it very good value for the money. It is positioned as a feminine scent.

The notes are amber, cinnamon, cardamom and honey. Cinnamon and cardamom bring a spicy warmth, while honey and amber sweeten and soften it. Sweetness dominates the accords, joined by oriental, woody, powdery, creamy and resinous sides and a faint smoky trace. Laboratorio Olfattivo Vanhera and Diptyque Volutes (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
