Chai à la citrouille

I keep reaching for this every time the weather turns cool—the pumpkin and amber combo makes my whole apartment smell like a bakery without being overly sweet. It’s warm and spicy but never cloying.

The masala chai note is what sold me—it’s spicy and real, not just sugary fall vibes. I dabbed it on this morning and kept catching warm pumpkin and amber all day, like a cozy sweater in scent form.

I wasn’t expecting the amber undertones to come through so strongly, but they ground the spice nicely—it’s warm without being cloying. A few spritzes in the hallway and the whole room smells like a cozy November afternoon.
