Our verdict on Chai Épicé: Favourite

Chai Épicé is a sweet-shop gourmand that's divisive on whether it actually smells like chai, but universally praised for its cozy, spicy charm. It's a crowd-pleaser that punches above its weight for the price, if you don't mind the misleading name.

About

Don't let the name fool you, this is less about chai and more about a warm, spiced hug. It opens with a delicate, almost sweet fig, quickly sweetened and mellowed by a creamy, vanilla-tinged musk. The lily of the valley is largely MIA, replaced by a bakery-like aroma of cinnamon and gingerbread, grounding into soft, comforting blond woods. It's a gourmand without being aggressively sugary, perfect for snuggling up.
