Mr. Burberry Indigo

#updated review. Note to self, you should definitely live with a fragrance for a while before reviewing - I reviewed this too quickly before and I don't think appreciated enough. This has become my favourite signature of the moment, reaching for it more often than not. I originally said it was similar to Bentley for Men Silverlake - and yes it is -BUT this is hands down the better option. Get the Bentley if you're on a tight budget and be happy with it, but to me on dry downbit as this harsh synthetic sort of acetate smell in the background., Indigo just smells quality, and very aromatic and clean all the way through. It's probably a very safe scent, so possibly boring for some, but honestly it's just dam lovely wearable anytime option. I would say if your building say a 10 scent collection - make this one of the 10- having been living with this for a few weeks now, it's easy 10/10 for me, but note I'm a mid 50s fairly boring dude, so it's likely not going to be as good for the younger party crowd.. performance wise it's decent not beastly - 6 hours I think for that pleasing scent bubble around you- you can still smell it much longer after - but that's when you pick it up off your skin. Original review: This is an excellent blind buy safe versatile mint forward fragrance that balances freshness with just the right amount of sweetness. Mass appealing type wear anywhere anytime scent. However, it smells very very similar to Bentley for Men Silverlake which you can pick up for about half the price. I've done side by side comparisons on skin, and they do smell so similar, you'd be hard pressed to tell which is which. I think Mr Burberry is a tad more refined and smoother and a pinch less sweet, but honestly to my nose it's so close that either would do the same job.

This scent is considered safe, nothing ground breaking and is compared to other fragrances like Acqua di Gio Profumo, but I’ve smelled most that this is compared to and I find that this is the younger brother that has his own unique twist. Trust your nose and try it, especially if you’re knit picky. Wear what appeals to you for enjoyment. I actually find this one very refreshing and prefer this to........ It’s perfect for spring casual wear with jeans, T-shirt and going out for the weekend; out and about. This fragrance is minty fresh and the rosemary adds a certain sweetness, further balancing the mint to make it a bit more sophisticated, without trying so you can wear that sports coat into the spring night and it’s still pulled off effortlessly. The oakmoss base intertwining with the violet add that edge to give it character. Like most say; this isn’t groundbreaking, but I don’t think it’s meant to be, like Baccarat Rouge 540, Lumiere Noire Pour Homme, Ultra Male or Grand Soir. Look in your closet; you have that clubbing outfit that gets you lucky or that suit outfit that makes you GQ material, which suggest the other fragrances that would fit appropriately with the occasions. Yet, you also have that road trip favorite pair of distressed jeans and T-shirt outfit that makes your day effortlessly and confident. I believe Mr. Burberry Indigo is the fifth sense to complete the look. Francis Kurkdjian is no mannequin. I love this masculine down low fragrance and will definetly rock this when I’m chilling. It’s a wardrobe staple. Also working at the office crowd pleaser.

Yet another fragrance doomed to catch hell from almost everyone on this site. It's going to get bashed for smelling too trendy, generic, cheap, so on and so forth. Thing is, does anyone like anything around here? Every release gets treated like garbage. And yet you find that the product sells like crazy once you start shopping. So...this thing is great. Yes, it may feel like it's part of a trend in perfumery. Luckily it's not another sweet fruity invictus thing. It's not for the party going 20something (at least not to my nose), and while I haven't had a chance to wear for a long time, i'm not expecting long life from it. IN my case that is true of most fragrances. So how does it smell? Damn good. get your nose on it if you can sample it and you will probably like it. The opening feels mature without feeling old, which is a great achievement when you're talking oakmoss. violet seems to come to the surface pretty soon and while I'm not a huge fan of violate, i find it pleasant. Reminds me of the violet note used in Bvlgari man. It's strong and almost spicy. Overall I find this a pleasant release, and thanks to a great sales promotion at Macy's I was able to get 1450 for a good price in terms of $/ml. It's still cool in the northeastern USA and for me this is perfect. Looking forward to see what happens at when it warms up. cheers and enjoy your fragrances...even if everyone on this site tells you it's crap. It's yours, on your skin, and if it makes you happy, it's worth wearing!

Incoming hate reviews. Looks like almost everyone hates "generic" fragrances nowadays. This is the fourth day of me trying Mr. Burberry Indigo. And I can say is that this fragrance is your typical freshie scent. Nothing compared to Mr. Burberry EDT or EDP. It's safe, fresh and the mint man. The mint here is blended magnificently which made the scent really smells ohh so good! Pretty versatile perfume, though I would only wear this during casual/daytime. I do not see it wearing in super cold climates. Longevity is not the greatest about 3-4 hours on my skin. Projection is pretty good on the first hour mark. It projects strongly, but quickly dies down to skin or closer scent afterwards. It is a safe blind buy for me. I really love the scent! Better than his two brothers(or cousins)! But the performance is quite lacking. It's a new fragrance so it's quite expensive. For now, I would prefer the cheaper Hollister Wave than this or better yet Dylan Blue. I would really love to give a high remark on this if only it performed better!

Very, very nice. This one has grown on me. I sampled it probably a dozen times before I finally purchased a full bottle. Other reviewers have compared this to fragrances in the John Varvatos Artisan line, Polo Blue, and Bvlgari Aqua, and more. I honestly don't find this similar to any of the above. Easy enough to find in major department and cosmetic stores (eg Sephora, Ulta), it's definitely worth testing, but different enough that I'd avoid a blind buy. The balance of mint, herbal notes, and amber is delightful. The violet is very smooth, not piercing or scratchy in the least. The ingredients feel very high quality. In fact, if you told me this was a new release from Creed, I'd believe it. It feels green in sort of the same way that Green Irish Tweed feels green (but it does not smell like GIT), like garden-fresh and slightly earthy. Versatile enough that you could pull this off at just about any time of year. I'll be reaching for this one often; it may even be signature scent worthy.

Sleeper. Ordered a backup immediately. I love the hate that this gets. Shows the shallow, delicate nature of the 'noses' here. Anyone with any skin in the game at all for any length of time will get Essenza in the mid and drydown. And don't sniff this up close on skin. I don't think this was designed for arm-sniffing. FK composes many fragrances that are made to be smelled IN THE AIR. Yes it projects. Yes it performs. Not a 'beast'. Wasn't meant to be. No one is going to say 'Wow! Something smells great!' ..... ...And then run up to you, grab your arm or sniff your neck on-skin and say 'I changed my mind I hate this now it smells like celery!' 'Or curry!' If it doesn't work on your skin, fine. Tell the community how horrible it is, and keep the rating low, so there is less of it floating around and those of us that love it can continue to enjoy it.

Being relatively new to the frag world- I was very interested in adding a mint fragrance to my collection. After discovering Kurkdjian was the nose behind this and my affection for Burberry Touch, I thought this might be a good place to start. The opening is undeniably fresh, a spearmint bomb if you will. The spearmint though is somehow juicy/sweet at the same time, almost mouth watering IMO. The dry down is absolutely gorgeous, reminiscent of a basic ADG DNA but with that beautiful spearmint. Lol, I suppose a “spearmint-infused ADG” would be the easiest way to describe the scent. It is quite versatile IMO, the mint notes give it a cooling, sophistication that make it suitable for most all seasons & occasions. The 100ml was an absolute steal at $28. This could be my new signature, but then again I do love mint...

Orto Parisi has a fragrance very similar to this, Megamare, yet Mr. Burberry Indigo takes the win all day every day. Truly, a very unrecognized and forgotten dark horse fragrance that will sadly only gain notoriety upon discontinuation. FK and Burberry were very ballsy to release a "niche-like" fragrance out for the mainstream consumer. Those days of designers putting out daring and off the beaten path type fragrances have long been over, and Mr. Burberry Indigo is a prime example and reminder of what unfortunately happens. Bottle this up under Amouage instead of their new junk and the fragcomm would be flipping out "Have you tried the new Amouage??? They back OMGGGG!!" Mr. Burberry Indigo is cheap, it's wonderful, it's unique and it will rise to amazing gem status in the near future.

Smells fantastic to me. A very contemporary men's "cologne" smell. Indigo is not a fragrance that is blended into one "perfume". Rather, a kalaidoscope of all the notes, and they are very complimentary, of equal tone and they sort of sparkle together. You can easily single them out for your attention when you choose. A dance is performed for your nose and imagination. It's a delightful, baroque water garden impact, like the gardens of the Villa d'Este. So modestly priced yet elegant and effortless. The water garden dance lasts about an hour - which is decent for a "cologne" type fragrance. Then it's a pleasant mint and wood, which really is a bonus because many pretty cologne waters just disappear after their lovely opening acts.

It's a bit of a hidden gem. I just returned from a fragrance haul, and this one was included in it . What a surprise ! It's incredibly fresh and delicate. While it's not overwhelming, it lingers beautifully on my skin for a solid six hours. It doesn't project strongly, or perhaps one becomes nose blind after a while, but I can still catch hints of the scent even after six hours. It's close to the skin but certainly not a mere skin scent. Discovering it was a pleasant surprise, and it's definitely a keeper. Update: I was wearing indigo a few days ago and sprayed it onto my t-shirt as well . Now I am doing the laundry, 5 days later and the T-shirt still projects like a beast , fresh like it’s nobody’s business 👍

This is straight up OG Aqua Di Gio with mint and it’s bomb. I’ve been smelling Aqua Di Gio since I was a kid and got that vibe immediately. I received it as part of a sample pack my girl got me from Sephora. Out of all the scents, I liked this one and Aqua Di Gio Profondo. And for 40 bucks for a 3.3 once on fragrancenet, it’s beyond a steal IMO. For sure there are better more well blended scents out there, but for a day at the beach, after the gym, casual little adventures, even to work when your burnt out on that Bleu de Chanel and Sauvage, Indigo hits. Performance isn’t bad, it’s super inoffensive, and it’s really clean smelling. The mojito of fragrances.

Indigo is a very good Mr. Burberry flanker. Its aroma is herbal, citric and woody. The output is very fresh, it can smell herbal, green notes, such as mint and rosemary, surrounded by citrus and floral notes, these first minutes are very pleasant, as if we were smelling a mojito. As the minutes pass, the green notes are maintained, the citrus fruits are reduced, but a woody and aquatic base emerges. It reminds me a little to Artisan Blu. Indigo is a daytime fragrance, perfect for use during summer and spring because of the fresh trail it gives off. In fact I liked it more than Mr. Burberry EDT. Its duration reached an 8 hrs., With regular projection

Aquatic, green, hints of citrus, woody/musky background. This is a very good, feel-good fragrance. It's clean & a little soapy but not in a bad way. It is true that it is similar to Acqua di Gio, Acqua di Gio Profumo, & a cheapie from the early 2000s called Nice Feelings by Sapil. The same aquatic, citrusy semll, with a hint of woods for all of these 4 fragrance. Mr. Burberry Indigo is fresh & spicy, casual & happy. It has no similarity at all to any of the other Mr. Burberries. The performance is really good. Above your average designer fragrance. Overall, a lovely fragrance that deserves your testing time. "Love"

It's a nice fragrance, This is a fresh,herbal,woody scent. Top notes : Blackcurrant, Rosemary, Lemon. Heart notes : Violet leaf, Driftwood,Spearmint. Base notes : Amber, White oakmoss,Musk. It opens up with like fresh citrusy then dry down is green woody.It smells like ocean breeze. The Spearmint note is dominant in this fragrance. Best of the Mr.Burberry line. This perfume reminds me of Acqua Di Gio Profondo. I really enjoy it , I love Mr.Burberry Indigo and I'm so glad that I have it in my collection. Longevity is very good. Highly Recommended. Bravo Monsieur KURKDJIAN ! Two Thumbs Up. Rating : 8.5 / 10

"It's not what I expected". How is that even possible to expect how a perfume could smell before you smell it?? I'm cooking about 4 days per week, I know really well the smell of celery and this one it's not even close for me. I can smell rosemary, fresh mint and something heavy-smoky. I think that comes out of oakmoss. I enjoy freshies with oakmoss (p.ex. Hacivat). For my own taste it's a modern masterpiece and the first thing that came to my mind was Acqua di Gio Profumo. They are not the same juice but in the same philosophy. It wasn't my intention to offend someone and if I did it I apologize.

This is super underrated in my opinion! I don’t see this getting as much love as other designer fragrances, but this one is unique. Minty and herbal goodness, this is like the dictionary definition of a ‘green scent’. I use this year-round, but I really like it in the spring and summer where it shines best imo when the higher temperatures really bring out the notes I feel. Longevity is not amazing, but I still get like 4-5 hours on my skin. All in all, a nice scent that you can appreciate on your fragrance shelf. If this was a niche label like Creed or PDM, people would be raving about Indigo.

Functions as a good summer work fragrance, especially when I'm set for a day of concentration-heavy work. I can also go straight from work to gym with this and it doesn't smell out of place. Something about Rosemary puts me in the mental "zone" seemingly powering up my working memory and promoting a calm and collected state of mind. When I'm feeling flat it gives me a zing and when I'm too fired up it soothes me. Probably not the biggest compliment magnet per say but it's more for myself, it's inoffensive and it does it's job well for what I intend it to be.

Nice addition to the Mr Burberry line. Very different from the EDT & EDP to my nose. I get mint and citrus with aquatic notes. There is a resemblance to Ralph Lauren Polo Blue as others have mentioned but this is by no means a copy. I got 4 hours from 4 sprays today, Summer climate 24C , which is not great but it's decent whilst it lasts and is a safe scent for lots of occasions. It would be an 8 but performance is slightly lacking. Will test again in the colder months and see who it performs then... 7/10

Indigo was my very first real big boy fragrance. I do not know if it is because of the memories of this fragrance being the culprit for me starting my fragrance collection/journey, but it smells absolutely amazing to me. There is nothing else quite like this on the market, and it does not smell generic. There is a nice, unique mint note which makes this stand out from everything else I have. Perfect 10/10 for me, but again, it could just be because I am biased to it.

Maybe it’s just me, but this cologne will always stand out and be close to my heart. It has a peppery, fresh and poppy scent to it that I found grey from spring and summer. This was my got to fragrance in high school and I have yet to buy another bottle since. I would recommend this for someone just getting into fragrances looking for a cheaper option. The longevity is decent and projection is alright so it’s nothing that’s going to receive a lot of attention.
