Indigo Vanilla

The ultimate boudoir parfum, evocative of a 19th century French coquette such as Odette Swann, the alluring heroine from Marcel Proust's "In Search of Lost Time". If you adore romantically "old fashioned" powder puff fragrances like Angel's Dust, Teint de Neige, and Jours Heureux, you will love Indigo Vanilla. This is a beautiful and sophisticated candied violet mingled with rich amber, fluffy musk, and creamy white chocolate. Luxuriously blended, elegant, and oh so enchanting. Like wrapping yourself in a marabou-trimmed silk robe, Indigo Vanilla is decadent and seductively feminine. An underrated gem!

I received this as a bonus sample in my order. I fully expected not to like this at all. Boy was I wrong. This is an absolutely stunning sweet vintage powder scent. It opens with a quick shot of white chocolate and quickly settles into a creamy, warm sugared violet. It is absolutely nothing like the other two in the trio. So if you are expecting that, you may be disappointed. I imagine a gorgeous barefoot women in a cotton and lace dressing gown, with her hair loosely gathered, tendrils falling softly around her face.

This perfume is the prefect powdery candy violet -- just like those old fashioned candies. Extremely, intensely sugared and sweet violet, layered on top of the creaminess of the white chocolate. The white chocolate is less sweet than the sugared violet note -- more of a milky, condensed milk scent with a little vanillin. Delicious! My favorite violet scent. I can't emphasize enough how beautiful the violet note is. Lasts a long time, 6 hours plus.

quite exquisite composition.mainly violets and sweet powder,as seekritdude so aptly and humorously describes.i love it and love to you all,colabama

I smell violet powder and musk. The violet powder reminds me of Besame's pressed powder compact and there is so much of it that one might sneeze at the first whiff. The musk is a clean soapy white musk and the overall effect of the notes gives an elegantly old-fashioned vibe. This fits a lavender boudoir with lots of frills and feathers, impractical but beautiful bijou and ornaments decorating the unmistakably feminine abode. Sillage and longevity are excellent as with the other two members of this gourmand series, this being non gourmand to my nose though, try as I might to smell the white chocolate note. I would recommend to lovers of violet powder and vintage vixens.
