Chiang Mai reminds me more of the wafting aromas of a favorite pho restaurant. I smell green citrus, Thai Basil, galagal, and pepper all blended perfectly with nothing standing out of place. Instead of being a barbershop scent or a perfume scent like most aftershaves, this is more of a nostalgia scent. It does smell great on the skin but it is at its best when it evokes memories of travel or great meals in those around you. As for the formulation, the aftershave is very nourishing and moisturizing unlike some aftershave splashes.
i was very skeptical on purchasing this because i'm not a big fan of lemongrass. but boy am i glad i got it anyways! the lemongrass is the perfect amount where it doesn't overpower the other notes. my favorite note that pops out under all the notes is the slight mint finding its way to the top.
