On me, this is a very cashmere forward scent, which lends to it a fuzzy, hazy feel.....I really don't pick up on the chai or almond milk notes, unless it's the spice that's hanging around in the background. The crimson musk brings some body to it, and I don't register the birch at all, which I read smells slightly like wintergreen. This is a clean, cozy scent that makes me want to curl up with a soft blanket and read all day while listening to the rain.
