Bombay Perfumery might have launched with eight fragrances simultaneously, but the unisex Chai Musk has been the one scent that has been brewing in perfumer Alexandra Carlin's mind since its inception.

"The brief was '2000 flowers for the spring' to welcome the new millennium, and the scent was called Blossom 2000.
