Indigo Tanzanite

Opening: Amber and patchouli. The amber at this point is very similar to the opening of MFK Grand Soir; while the patchouli is earthy, similar to that in Coromandel EDT, it's that chocolatey patchouli, I had to go back to look at the notes to check for chocolate or cocoa-- none. The ratio of patchouli to amber is about 60:40. On my skin it is patchouli dominant. Almond starts to peek though about the 25 minute mark. But the fagrance is still predominantly patchouli-heavy amber. 1 hour in and the patchouli finally calms down. The fragrance doesn't evolve much on my skin. It stays a patchouli amber with a bit of nutty almond till the dry down. If you love amber and patchouli, this fragrance is answered prayers; if you absolutely hate patchouli or amber, this fragrance may not be for you. It's unisex leaning slightly more masculine. Solid performance. Overall, I prefer this to Magenta Tanzanite for now since I feel it has more character, I plan to give that one another shot as well.

Received this one as a gift from my parents - they are feeding my obsession! Opens very sharp and masculine, which took me aback for a second, but I had the same exact experience with Ambre Eccentrico, so I knew better and waited for it to calm down, and...boom! Loving it! Refined combo, there are layers to it, from a sharp masculine patchouli it goes into milky almonds and settles into a balsamic sweetish amber. It definitely resembles Ambre Eccentrico, but it has a sharper edge, leaning slightly more masculine, yet still unisex. It’s dark and confident, there’s no shyness to it. It shines! I’m very curious how it behaves in hotter conditions as it’s pretty cold right now. I will layer it with a sweet amber perfumed oil, just because I would like a tad more sweetness to it. Projection is good and lasting power is hours - I could still smell it when I woke up in the morning. Love the bottle, a great addition to my Armani Privé collection.

I’m surprised there was no cashmere or Vanila/tonka bean in the description. Either way, this is a beautiful fragrance. Great for winter nights and special occasions. The Pachouli Feels both rich a cozy, it’s mixed with a cocooning milky almond, some sweet creamy and almost powdery accords. It still manages to have a bit of freshness behind the smooth curtains of its ambery notes. this hits all my yearnings of what I want to smell like especially this time of the year. 10/10 Side note: It’s been a while since I bought an Armani/Privé fragrance. They don’t always get it right. But when they do, you know it’s a keeper. A couple of my favorite Armani/Privé fragrances are: -Vert Malachite (for jasmine lovers) -Bois D’Encens (for spice and incense enthusiasts)

1st impression is a love at first sniff. There are hints of Ambre Eccentrico but AE is more syrupy and chewy fruity. There’s also hints of my favorite Guerlain: Bois D’Armenie- I smell tons of sweet benzoin and a honeyed wood note! I am loving the lack of earthiness- this just hums on my skin. It’s warm, lactonic, powdery. I’m getting the same oat like creaminess that i absolutely love in PDM Oajan. Indigo Tanzanite is masterfully blended and the 1 spray on my wrist is wafting in the air creating a comfy scent bubble. This smells nothing like Kilian Rolling in Love or Grand Soir not sure that’s up with those comparisons. This is a very elegant creamy sweet woody fragrance. I’m in love! So happy I bought a FB

For me, this is somewhere between Tobacco Vanille and Dior Addict without any fruity notes. *[Edit] Or closer still; softer than Grand Soir and warmer than Cuir Beluga - somewhere in between the two.* Smells like the perfume and beauty floor of the most prestigious department store - all this in the most wonderful and luxurious way. Soft, sweet and comforting like a fluffy blanket and the creamiest spiced hot vanilla milk (I wanted to say chai or latte but there is no hint of coffee or cinnamon here) on a rainy day. I get the play-doh resemblance but in the most expensive, comforting and delectable way.
