The scent of delicious Indian masala chai envelops you. It's warm, sweet, and spicy with a hint of a milky undertone.
NOTES: Cinnamon, cloves, ginger, cardamom, pepper, black tea, steamed milk, cocoa, roses, vanilla, musk, leather

I hate to be a dark cloud in everyone else's sunny day, but I must say I really don't enjoy this scent.
It's like it's 90% amazing, but there's a weird undersmell (look at me, making up words, lol!) to the scent that I just can't get past. This perfume has a huge sillage, and lasts a lifetime (12 hours on my skin!), but the first four hours or so are just ugggh to my nose.
I also don't find it smells much like chai tea; I find Label's Cinnamon & Maltol to bmore 'chai'...and much more delicious to my nose, too.

If you like aroma of chai you will love this. It is true Masala chai, black tea infused with strong fragrant spices, very slightly sweetened with a tiny bit of milk.
The closest thing you can get in a fragrance. Beside black tea I can recognize the notes of cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, a bit of ginger and pepper, a smudge of cacao and vanilla.
The fragrance is very strong, highly concentrated, long lasting for this kind of perfume.
Quality is undisputable.
Must go easy on spray, it is good also for layering, to add chai aroma to other fragrances.
My second bottle, and that does not happen often.

Let me lead off by saying that I LOVE chai tea. I am a bit of a nut about it, which is what lead me to first seek out a new fragrance that would smell like chai, because I've often wished I could bathe in the smell in my tea mug and wear it all day.
OH if only Baruti Chai had stayed what it was the first couple of minutes on my skin! I would be buying a thousand bottles. But what it is, is still lovely and great and many people should try it and see if it's for them.
The first wonderful note out of the bottle which had me hooked was the black chai tea on my skin, right off the bat!
As it began to warm up, it developed a brown-sugary, warmer scent-feel. This is not a strongly projecting fragrance; it is polite and stays close. After brown sugar, it warmed up to milkier tones. Enough so that my grown cat who still wants to suckle at any mommy figure moved very close to me and cuddled against me. He never moves that close and cuddles against me! I received head nuzzles.
Following this stage, about 10 minutes in, a stronger brown sugar and vanilla tone came in. Followed later by more milk and possibly black pepper around the 25 minute mark.
At the mid-point before drydown, I decided Baruti Chai had a crème brûlée kind of thing going on, which became crème brûlée and milk, with a little black pepper. But sweeter and softer than the fragrance had been before, when it was strong brown sugar.
Some cinnamon notes come in later, as well.
Overall Baruti Chai ends like an every-so slightly tobacco-y or crème brûlée (but softer) sweet milk.
If this fragrance hadn't lost the black tea accord for me, and then gotten and stayed a little too sweet, I would have been purchasing a bottle. As it is, it's very interesting though and I encourage anyone to try it!

I was really drawn to wanting to try out this perfume. I love Chai tea and I like spicy scents that include Cinnamon and Cardamom. I also lean towards spicy scents that include sweetness as well, so this sounded like a really good blend for me. What is unique and unexpected about this scent is the addition of rose and on my skin, there is a significant rose overtone. It all blends together nicely and works out and I find it to be a really lovely scent and has great lasting power, makes me feel sophisticated and bold but I think I would ultimately prefer this blend to have less rose in it. The rose can *almost* bring to mind more of an "old lady scent", in my opinion. I still am drawn to this scent though and don't have anything else quite like it. Overall - very luxurious.

On me this smells like incense and mulled spices, and it lasts really well.

Lovely smoky chai - all the elements of chai tea are there. To my nose leans a bit to the masculine. Would love to nuzzle my mate's neck and get a little whiff of this.

Chai is very nicely done. On me, the cardamon and tea is what I get, along with a whiff of cinnamon. The little bottle is well made, with the cap fitting quite nicely! There is another scent this reminds me of - Otis and Me! (I really like that one, too:)

You can really smell all of the listed notes in this, and they are amazing. It's like gingerbread cookies, roses chilled in a florist's fridge, black tea with steamed milk and sexy, slightly smoky leather. Spicy, milky, comforting cookies and sweet floral cut through with the bitterness of the tea... complex and magical.

Ideal for cold weather. No unsolicited compliments. Hints of cinnamon & ginger. Stayed with me for 6 hours.

I really had very high expectations on this one and it didn´t disappointed me at all. Definitely my best purchase of 2015!

I just loved this sample. I'll be back for a FB

It's my skin (or my imagination) doing this. If I spray a tester, this is soft but spicy, wonderful black tea, not as milky as I thought it would be. And, it's pretty much a summer through winter scent. Great compliments when I wear it.
