Indigo

Indigo was one of the first niche perfumes that drew me into the world of artisanal perfumery, and it still holds a special place in my collection. There’s something quietly captivating about it. It feels like stepping into a sunlit, silent world high above the noise, like the brand story writes, “the most beautiful feeling is on an airplane when you rise above the clouds.” The scent is both calming and boldly radiant. The use of mastic oil is inspired. It lends a cool, almost otherworldly clarity, like crisp morning air at altitude. Balanced with the soft resinous warmth of frankincense, and grounded by cedarwood and sandalwood, Indigo feels both meditative and inspiriting. Hints of rose and hyacinth weave through with a light floral breeze, just enough to soften the edges. For me, it’s a perfume that creates space in my sometimes chaotic world —a pause, a breath, a moment of calm. Indigo is the fragrance I reach for when I want to feel composed yet connected to something beautiful. Ok for warmer days, but I prefer to wear it in cooler weather.

I like this one, it has the same DNA as Baruti Melkmeisje with added heavy rose notes. The olibanum and mastic are 2 other scents that I know due to my heritage, I really would have loved if they were more heavy here, this would make it more masculine imo. I cannot smell any oud, or cedar either. It has excellent longevity and high sillage too, impressive. I really like this one, but if I can amplify the mastic and olibanum here I would be alot happier. It is very classy and chic, I cannot see a teenager wearing this, not a tank top and shorts perfume. It is more on the feminine side too. Update: Actually on revisting this one, I can appreciate the sandalwood and cedar more, and the amzaing mastic and frankincense. Smells quite unique

Indigo smells exactly as it’s supposed to; like a summer night in the Mediterranean. It’s a smoky incense-oud composition (actually NOOUD, which contains no actual Oud wood), but it’s not too dry or harsh the way I often find this style of fragrance. It’s breathy, almost delicate, and the mastic gives it a cooling afterglow. Indigo is the rare scent that actually makes me feel sexy. It would be great for an evening out. It gets softer and more floral over time, in a tender, peach-blush-orange vein; at the end, only the rosy floral is left.

This is a hit. One of my favorites from the sample set. I think Chai takes the win. But, I wouldn't turn my nose up to this. I would and do bury my nose it in. Such a great representation of woody floral. Ok, if i squint and reach into my hard to find imagination, I can see the pickle reference. I think that is just power of suggestion. Never crossed my mind until I read it. Disregard that and try this. It is such a great pick during the scorching hot days we have had recently. Comes out beautifully blended.

This has been my summer signature fragrance for the entire two months. So happy to have discovered the brand. Bought a full bottle of Indigo and a box of samples from them. This particular one Indigo starts off with mastic (which I must say I had never smelled before) and at first I was like "ooh wow not sure about this" but then five minutes later it BLOSSOMED. Very modern and fresh, love it.
