The story behind the bottle.
Ananda Tchai by M. Micallef was launched in 2017, crafted by perfumers Jean-Claude Astier and Geoffrey Nejman. This aromatic spicy fragrance opens with a burst of citrus from lemon and bergamot, complemented by the freshness of green tea and nutmeg. The heart reveals heliotrope and ylang-ylang, balanced by thyme and fern, leading to a base of rose, amber, vanilla, and woody notes that create a warm and comforting finish.
Apply Ananda Tchai in moderation — its fresh citrus and aromatic notes are bright and immediate but fade within two hours. The woody and vanilla base notes develop over time and linger close to the skin, making it ideal for daytime wear.
