Whats everyones favorite Chai FO ? IMO Chai smells a lot like nutmeg. And more like pumpkin pie than a LOT of the pumpkin pie scents that are out there, but I have never smelled it in an FO so am not sure how authentic any of them are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Chai is actually just tea. The tea in Asia is brewed with or without milk and with or without spices. To me the generic chai is like the generic Amber,p. There are many variations and interpretations. when making a fragrance blend of chai, I went for the tea recipe I liked to drink. Black tea as a base, milk or coconut milk, and a blend of aromatic Indian spices like cardamom, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, and sugar. Most chai fragrances i smell are not great, honestly. Take the notes and blend your own for something really special and nuanced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Ya know I thought Chai is supposed to be more creamy vanilla sort of milky with a hint of tea. Well the Chai's that I have bought in the grocery store are like that. This Chai the cinnamon is the strong note in this oil. Actually I renamed it Cinnamon Chair because of this. Although I'm thinking (but not really sure) it should be more creamy I love it...It is an excellent thrower in 464. This is one of the very few that I have that throws very quickly and fills up the room fast, well it did my whole cabin. I like so much better than even a cinnamon which I have yet to find after all these years. There aren't too many oils that I recommend strongly but this one I do hands down... and the reviews were great on it at Flaming. Thanks for bringing this subject up Moonstar as I need to get another 2 pounds of it.

Moonstar Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 TT would Flaming's black tea be a good choice ? I forgot to add Milk + Sugar you said you liked from American Soy to my cart I'll get a 2 oz sample next time. Is there one FO that has notes of cinnamon, cardamom + ginger that I could add to the black tea ? I recall seeing a spice market FO somewhere but I can't remember where OR if it would even work . So you do like the cream + sugar FO from AS ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going for an Earl Grey ... its not bad. When I looked up Chai it mentioned spices of nutmeg. cinnamon, cardamom + clove. So thats what Im looking for I guess Ive also seen some that blend some milk + sugar like you mention. I ordered some FO and a sample bag of wax from American Soy and they have a milk + sugar FO but of course I forgot to add that to my cart before I checked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Black teas all seem super powerful and can overtake other scents added. Go heavy on the bergamot for earl grey or it will get lost. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I figured out a better ration, it was really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
