The story behind the bottle.
Infusion de Santal Chai by Prada is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men that launched in 2026. Created by Daniela Andrier, this composition opens with cardamom and citrus before leading into the heart of masala chai and spices, offering a warm embrace. The base notes of milk, sandalwood, and musk provide a powdery, lactonic warmth that lingers long after the initial spicy aroma fades.
Apply Infusion de Santal Chai to pulse points for an enduring warmth. The spicy top notes are bright but fleeting, so focus on ensuring the powdery base has time to bloom. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than in a crowded room.
