Bombay Perfumery Chai Musk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Chai Musk opens with Lemongrass, Ginger, and Green Tea, settles into a heart of Mate, Osmanthus, and Hazelnut, and dries down to a base of Milk, Sandalwood, and Juniper. Bombay Perfumery's Chai Musk carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This Indian-inspired scent is a proper journey, starting a bit sharp before morphing into a unique, creamy spiced tea that sticks around. It's a bit of a grower, but worth the wait for something genuinely different.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Chai Musk opens with a zingy hit of lemongrass and ginger, initially quite sharp before settling. As it evolves, a distinctive milk tea accord emerges, blending green tea with nutty hazelnut and the apricot-like sweetness of osmanthus. The dry down is a comforting, milky sandalwood, subtly spiced with juniper, creating a soft, warm aura that stays close to the skin.
