Cinnamon Chai Crème is comfort you can light. It’s the feeling of a warm drink in hand—sweet, spiced, and extra snuggly—without turning into a sugary frosting candle. Bright citrus and cardamom lift the opening, cream softens the middle, and black tea plus balsamic resin gives the finish a cozy, lingering depth.

What it smells like

This is chai latte energy, but refined: warm cinnamon, creamy vanilla, and black tea warmth that feels café-like rather than candy-sweet. It starts bright—orange peel and cardamom sparkling through cinnamon—then becomes creamy and swirled as it warms. The dry-down is where it really shines: black tea and gentle resin (gurjun balsam) keep the spice feeling smooth and rounded, with clove/cassia warmth lingering in the background like the last sip.

If you like cozy bakery notes but want them to feel elevated, Cinnamon Chai Crème hits that “baked warmth” without becoming dessert-heavy.

The scent journey: how it changes through the burn

Notes (top / middle / base)

Simple “phase” table

Phase	What you'll notice	Mood
First light	orange peel + cardamom + cinnamon	bright, cozy, lifted
Mid-burn	rich cream + cinnamon swirl + soft pepper	creamy, latte-like, warm
After / lingering	vanilla + black tea + resinous spice	deep cozy, café finish

Pruneme structure note: The black tea + gurjun balsam base is what gives this candle its “bakery spine”—warm, resinous, and lingering—so the sweetness stays grown-up and the spice stays smooth.

Why we made it

Cinnamon Chai Crème was created for maximum comfort—chai latte warmth with a creamy middle and a lingering tea-resin finish that feels calm and elevated. It’s cozy café energy, but with structure: bright lift first, creamy swirl second, and a warm, steady base that lasts.

Candle care micro-tip (for the cleanest burn)

• Trim wick to about ¼ inch before each burn

• Follow the candle’s label and maximum session length from the first burn. Never extend a burn to force the wax pool to the edges.
