M.Micallef Ananda Tchai is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Ananda Tchai opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Rose, Ylang-Ylang, Heliotrope, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Spicy Notes, Amber, and Cedar. M.Micallef's Ananda Tchai carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a masterpiece that’s surprisingly polarising. Many love its unique tea and spice blend, finding it elegant and comforting, while others are put off by what they perceive as an old-fashioned, soapy or too-sweet profile. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

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

Ananda Tchai opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon and bergamot, quickly followed by a rich, warm heart of green tea, rose, and heliotrope, spiced with nutmeg and a hint of thyme. The drydown is a luxurious blend of amber, cedar, and vanilla, underpinned by clean musk, creating a creamy, honeyed warmth that lingers beautifully. It's a complex dance of fresh, floral, and gourmand facets.
