Trayee is a deeply layered, aromatic-spicy oriental fragrance with a complex evolution that feels both meditative and opulent. It opens with a vibrant, aromatic burst of blackcurrant, ginger, and elemi, anchored by a pungent basil note that gives it a green, slightly herbal freshness. The core of the perfume is built on a rich, warm chord of cardamom, clove, saffron, and sandalwood, which gives it a noble, spicy elegance. Over time, it transforms into a smooth, softly sweet, and incense-laden base with creamy vanilla, amber, and myrrh, leaving behind a deeply comforting, slow-burning dry down. The scent is remarkably well-blended, featuring premium, natural ingredients, and unfolds with a depth that feels like a living ritual, evoking ancient temples, Indian spices, and sacred ceremonies. Longevity is strong, lasting into the 12-hour range, with moderate sillage that is intimate but present. Although the initial burst can be sharp or intense for some (especially the cinnamon and elemi), it mellows into a soft, comforting, and uniquely gourmand-scented experience. It holds well across cooler seasons, particularly autumn and winter, and radiates a calm energy that invites introspection.
