The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Robert Piguet and composed by Aurélien Guichard, Chai is a fragrance that blends the vibrant freshness of bergamot leaf with the warm, soothing notes of white tea and beeswax. The composition opens with a bright, zesty top note from bergamot leaf, which quickly gives way to the gentle sweetness of white tea. Beeswax adds a subtle honeyed warmth, while mate and oak in the base provide a grounding touch of earthy spice. This distinctive blend is part of Robert Piguet's "Pacific Collection," inspired by symbolic plants of China.
Apply Chai to pulse points for the best effect. The fragrance blooms within an hour, so one or two sprays will allow you to experience its full depth without overpowering. It pairs well with light clothing, enhancing both casual and formal settings.
