Prada Launches Chai-Scented Perfume with Sandalwood & Cardamom Notes; Check Price

Luxury fashion house Prada has introduced a fragrance that blends global perfumery with familiar comfort—chai. The brand has launched a new unisex perfume inspired by India’s beloved tea, turning the warmth of a cup of chai into a wearable scent.

The fragrance, titled Infusion de Santal Chai, joins Prada’s Les Infusions collection and draws from creamy, spicy and woody notes. Designed for both men and women, the perfume reflects the growing global interest in Indian-inspired aromas and ingredients.

What does the chai-scented perfume smell like?

According to Prada Beauty, the fragrance belongs to the woody and milky family. Its key notes include:

• Chai latte accord

• Sandalwood

• Green cardamom

• Citrus

• Soft musks

The scent combines the richness of sandalwood with the warmth of chai spices, softened by citrus freshness and clean musk undertones. The result is a cosy, elegant fragrance meant to evoke calm and comfort.

How much does Prada’s chai perfume cost?

The perfume is priced at $190, which is approximately ₹17,000, placing it firmly in the luxury segment. It is currently listed on Prada’s official beauty platform. 

India-inspired luxury trend continues

This launch adds to the growing presence of Indian elements in global luxury branding. While Prada has previously faced criticism for drawing inspiration from traditional Indian footwear, the brand continues to explore Indian textures, aromas and cultural references in a contemporary format.

With Infusion de Santal Chai, Prada taps into the emotional connection many people share with tea—transforming a daily ritual into a high-end sensory experience.
