Niche line Ineke has launched Jaipur Chai, the tenth fragrance in the brand's alphabetical series.
Halfway around the world from Jaipur, this fragrance came about during the rainy season in San Francisco. Chai lattes provided cosy warmth most afternoons while the drumbeat of rain on glass provided sound effects.
Chai tea has an artfully balanced blend of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg and pepper. Add steamed milk and honey, and you have a frothy treat that inspired the yummy gourmand notes of Jaipur Chai.
A subtle rose note in this fragrance reflects the pink buildings for which Jaipur is famous. Dry cedar and guaiac woods balance the sweetness, and a soft suede note is like a refined punctuation mark.
Additional notes include black tea, vanilla and musk.
Ineke Jaipur Chai is available in 75 ml Eau de Parfum, $125.

He is the master of all things chai tea related
About a year ago, Ineke mentioned that she was working on a scent inspired by her favorite drink at a local coffeehouse. I was both incredibly excited and ever-so-slightly-worried how similar that sounded to Sunday’s backstory! ?Finally got to smell this last week, and am very relieved to report that it smells both completely delicious and not at all like Sunday!! (It’s much drier and spicier- smells very true to the stovetop chai an Indian roommate used to brew every morning.)
Good to know, thanks Ari!
Thanks for posting, it reminded me that I need to get a sniff of Sunday to compare! 🙂
