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.

Indigo Vanilla....I like it and it is growing on me, but so far it is just a like. Definitely violets with their powdery violet ways -- but also there is quite a bit of musk. It does get a wee bit sweeter after about 2 hours on skin. but I would never call it sugared or candied. I do smell the white chocolate note, but it is not strong. Knaxaide's review below is SPOT ON! I would not call this gourmand. Not at all. Defo something fans of powdery violet scents or vintage lovers would really go for. Don't get me wrong, Indigo Vanilla is lovely and very well done. For me, I think I could use more white chocolate here, and more sugary sweet. LOL.

Definitely old-fashioned. Sweet, floral, and powdery.

At first spray, it takes me back to purple candies and a frozen, non-alcoholic fruity cocktail atmosphere. Sometimes a little whipped cream and light white chocolate. little and not creamy. more a sorbet than an ice-cream. This phase is powerful but clear with raw amber which accentuates sweetness. It evolves into a clean, heavy, toilet powder, a bit retro but still gourmand. Only female, young, diurnal and good for the warm months. This is a rare case where sillage and longevity are exaggerated. Try it. But only if you love purple candies drowned in powder.

I love the other two in the coffret (cacao and amber) but this one doesn't do it for me. On my skin it is a fruity floral with an odd "aftertaste."Almost synthetic in feel.

So you go to the store because you need to buy some baby powder for some reason. Youre bored of the normal one so you decide to buy the new sugar candied violet baby powder 9000 something.... baby powder thing. You go home to your bathroom which your gf was using so it smells "girly" lets say and you try to get some out... *tap tap* Nothing comes out... *tap tap* wtf man.... You raise it above your head to see if you got screwed and got one that was empty. *boom* It explodes in your face, and now the whole bathroom and you are covered in this candied violet baby powder thing. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...... Much different than the other 2 chocolate ones from this line, also much more synthetic if you will smelling. And much more feminine. Meh/pass for me~

Woah. I hate violets usually, but this one is beautiful and sophisticated. I can really make out the powdery violet and chocolate. The violet gives off that distinct leathery feel to my nose, but it’s nicely balanced by the creamy chocolate and what I feel like are some spices. I still don’t know that it’s totally for me as this profile can feel too strong to where I get nauseous. However, it is craftfully blended. I will have to check out this house.

The musk and Amber are prominent on me with this perfume. Violet is present but too powdery. This perfume reminds me of what a vintage body talc smells like powder puff and all. A bit too old fashioned smelling for me.
