I bought this a few years ago and it has a lily note which I love..However I never really wear it but keep it for its pretty shimmer

This a rendition of what standard chai masala is supposed to smell like to the uninitiated.
Not the real thing.
Not worths the price tag either, but not horrible though. It’s fairly pleasant.
My friend’s baby loved the smell of the matching shimmery body lotion on me, even though it’s strong stuff!
Now that I’m a bit more educated about fragrance, I understand why I don’t love it.
The balance is just weird.
This is straight crème brûlée vanilla, similar to Victoria Secrets’ Vanilla Lace, with that thin, crunchy caramelized crust undertone.
The similarity stops there.
Vanilla Chai is boozy and spicy, in a typical Christmas fashion. Btw, because of that, I was expecting it to be a crowd pleaser with a few reviews!
There’s definitely a licorice taste to it, but not the mealy type from star anise.
Actually, that anise taste seems to come from artificial cinnamon – the bitter, medicinal flavoring agent in readymade puddings. Certainly not cinnamon sticks!
Woody notes struck me as of late. They seem to add more depth but in an artificial way, because they’re just making that unpleasant licorice taste more prominent.
Green cardamom appears ever so slightly after a while, once the vanilla becomes even sweeter.
Fail: its camphor note is awkwardly mingled with that already ill-balanced juice, souring the mixture.
Oki, I might be picky – this would go unnoticed because drown down by the caramely vanilla.
Don’t expect the shimmery particles to spread evenly. But they’re so fine they won’t obstruct the nozzle. They impart a very pretty rose gold and silver blue duochrome sparkle to the skin.
If there weren’t fancy shimmer, that would be a very good room freshener for Christmas holidays season.
EDIT: under Avon’s Secret Fantasy Wonderland (which I like very much, check my review out), it’s a really nice surprise!
Medicinal notes begone! Wow!!!
Instead, star anise appears and fresh cardamome stands out a little more.
Both magnify SFW delicate chestnut (non listed) and make the otherwise absent whipped cream come forward (listed).
Over time, the scent becomes suave and soothing – note the alliteration mega lol.
Fragrance, definitely is a cosmogony yet to be explored.
