    I really wanted to love this. My husband is from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and what's more, I'm in love with the smell of a good spicy chai. I bought it unsniffed based on the reviews - how could I go...

    This is gorgeous, one of my all time favorite autumn and winter fragrances. A warm, spicy ginger-cardamom-clove-cinnamon tea, thankfully without citrus. The drydown is an eternity of sweet...

    Gorgeous warm tea scent. A perfect winter. As usual, try it on your skin because these can change so much and the oil base is sticky and some people will hate that part. Might be better in the...

    Lovely Chai tea; fresh as a daisy! All the spices.. clove, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, pepper; all just crushed and emitting their lovely aroma. It softens quickly and in a very delicious way. Not...

    Eh...this should really be 3.5. I wanted this to be so much spicier! Beats Sonoma Scent Studio Double Chait Latte but this still doesn't capture the spiciness of chai for me. The quest for a chai...

    I really like this fragrance but it does not seem to last very long on me. TO me, it smells like a combination of Chai tea and Rootbeer (bottlecap candies, more precisely)!! A nice, comforting...

    This doesn't work on me at all. I received a sample vial as an extra in a swap, and loved it when sniffing it wet out of the bottle. The top notes are definitely spicy chair mixed with creamy...

    I agree with Dreamstorm's assessment completely in that it really does smell like cocoa butter in the dry down (hours later though) and I kind of like that. What I didn't like was the beginning, it...

    Incredible! Another DSH winner for me. EXACTLY like a cup of creamy, spicy chai. Perfect. 100x better than Tea for Two, IMO. Very comforting and lovely scent. Now I want a whole bottle!

    This is one of the best spicy fragrances I've tried. It starts out very, very peppery, then it sort of develops into a full on chai tea scent complete with honey, milk and cloves. The first blast...

    Yummmmm! Ceylon and Serendipitous are going to be the closest I'm ever going to get to actually wanting to *wear* a foody scent! Ceylon is lovely--spicy, but it doesn't make me feel as though I'm...

    First sniff is a lot like Tea for Two but as it settles in and dries down it gets musky and like so many of her fragrances fades fast and smells of the carrier oil and nothing else. Boo!

    Hmmm. I did not like this so much, which is surprising because it contains alot of notes I enjoy and also because everyone compares it to Tea for Two. Perhaps it boils down to chemistry, but on...

    Very nice, spicy fragrance. Perfect for fall/winter. I like the touch of sweetness as many of the modern spicy fragrances are so dry that they smell masculine to my nose. I may purchase a full...

    This is nice! Much, much nicer than Tea for Two and far closer to the true scent of a cup of chai, to my nose. It's also much easier on the pocketbook. I said Winter White was my fave DSH, but I...
