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.

What a wonderfully elevated spicy almondy/lactonic perfume. Well balanced with great longevity, and excellent projection. Patchouli and bergamote are only noticeable for the first few minutes, when the drydown begins these notes blend amazingly with the rest to become a spicy creamy woody wonder. Unisex done just right, it doesn’t lean one way or the other, it simply smells amazing.

Stunning woodsy, sexy patchouli. It is the ‘warmest’ fragrance i have encountered. It just hugs you with a splendid warm, cosy veil that is guaranteed to attract compliments. From both guys and gals. It is spectacular and very potent, stays with you 8+ hours. Way too expensive but it is one of those scents that simply worth it.

The Patchouli really does smell great in this mixture, and I've gotten some great compliments, this is definitely my go to for this fall and winter, but I definitely feel this is more of a party fragrance!

Creamy bon bon with a twist. Very respectable and mon offensive perfume . I have to admit , I abuse my layering privileges sometimes . Layered it with cuir by Carner Barcelona and it was pure platinum .

That's a delicious fragrance. Milky, chocolatey, creamy. It's very soft in its approach, it's here to caress your senses. It wears surprisingly loud and lasts forever. Very great offering, love it !

One of the most underrated perfumes! The best in Armani prive. It is for winter indeed and it’s a unisex perfume.

I love heliotrope and patchouli&amber mix! My favorite from the line after Rouge Malachite. Good performance.

heavnly scent, tried at the store, too expensive

Simply beautiful, classy and elegant.

28. February 2022 I tried it both on paper strip and did a wear test in my skin and here are my thoughts: i liked it more on a paper, than on my skin. On paper is was so beautiful, deep and mysterious, it almost felt like it has a smokey dry plum note in it, but when i actually checked the notes i was surprised. The almond/milk/heliotrope mix is what i probably has mistaken for the plum note. On my skin the beautiful opening becomes almost instantly a dirty patchouli. The patchouli note is eating up all other notes on my skin and the scent itself becomes quite ordinary. No more mystery, sadly. 270eur for 100ml is not what i am ready to pay for a fragrance that is nothing extraordinary. Tested in cold northern European weather. P.S. I need to say it works better not in the cold. It started to smell better and softer, once i ́ve got home and my skin warmed up. I can clearly smell almonds and patchouli now. P.P.S. It has been several days and i must say that i am somehow hooked on this fragrance. It stays really long on my skin, even after being into shower i can still smell the traces of it and i still tend to bring my nose to that spot. Once again i am not a big fan of patchouli, yet something in here keeps me thinking about it. i love the drydown very much, it ́s a almond milky patchouli which smells magical. It can be very unisex, i just wish they would have a 50mls bottle, cause i do not see me using ever the full 100ml bottle of it. I received a sample and i will use it for now to see how i feel about it in the long perspective...

Indigo Tanzanite was love at first sniff. This is a unique oriental fragrance with dusty patchouli, labdanum, benzoin, almond and a lactonic milk accord. It's not going to appeal to everyone or mesh with everyone's skin chemistry, but for me, this is perfection. The Armani Prive line is known for their head-turning heavy hitters, and Indigo Tanzanite is no different. On first spray, the oriental accords are instantly present, however, they are softened by powdery almond, milk and heliotrope, lending an almost creamy aroma. Indigo Tanzanite is similar in style to Chanel's Coromandel and Ramon Monegal's Mon Patchouly, all being wonderful smooth, slightly sweetened patchouli fragrances. The resinous quality and depth of this fragrance does trick you into believing that tobacco is also featured in this scent composition, and I am not alone in this assumption. This fragrance was created as an ode to Africa, encapsulating the aroma of the Tanzanian plains at dusk. I find this woodsy, dusty and dense patchouli fragrance with its nutty almond milk drydown to be a beautiful interpretation of this geographical region. The Armani Prive line continues to grow on me, and once again, I am considering adding another luscious fragrance from their line to my collection. The projection and longevity are superb, well-worth the hefty price tag.

This seems really familiar. I spent some time testing and I think I've figured it out. Take Nishane Ani, mix it with Dior Privee Patchouli Imperial, and then add heliotrope and voila, Indigo Tanzanite! However, there are a couple key differences with my skin chemistry. The first 15 minutes smells like clay on my skin. After that I get a rich vanilla like Ani, but a little more dirty version. Then the ultra smooth patchouli comes out and mixes with the vanilla and takes it over. I'd say at this point, it's 70/30 patchouli to benzoin ratio. Overall a great fragrance that leans feminine on my skin. Performance is suprisingly good for an Armani Prive, which often don't seem last or project on me. This one lasts roughly 8-9 hours with several hours of great scent push. This would be great on a woman, or maybe a man with different skin chemistry than mine Scent 7.6/10 Performance 8.5/10

Opened up n my skin with a very light almond scent mixed with fizzy bergamot. After a while it turned into a very earthy patchouli which is not much to my liking. On clothing, it opened up very similar to the on skin sample except for a stronger almond scent. Then it got creamy after a short while before turning resinous. I can understand the semblance to Grand Soir some might get after getting to this point but it’s just a small vibe. Turned kinda boozy here. I like it a lot. But it was only like that for a short time. It all came down to the earthy patchouli dry down. Thank goodness the boozy resinous vibe I like turned up again on both the skin and clothing samples. Lasted well on clothing for over twelve hrs.

I love the creaminess of the Privé line; it smells expensive and well-crafted. Patchouli is such a polarizing note for me; I either like it a lot (White Patchouli from TM) or hate it (Coco Mademoiselle). Indigo Tanzanite is a patchouli-centered perfume that is extremely wearable. The almond and heliotrope are soft and powdery; the patchouli is earthy, but it turns sweeter and balsamic as it dries down. Somehow, I smell tobacco, which is not listed in the notes. I've always had reservations towards sweet tobacco, but it works in here. It turns masculine on my skin; sometimes I care, when it's raining, I don't.

A labdanum and patchouli that's been very softened down by heliotrope, milk and almonds. A very nice composition. Softly gourmand. I can see why some people compared it with Coromandel, as that sort of gourmand patchouli is here, although they are not entirely similar. Indigo Tanzanite is a softer fragrance, a more mellow one than Coromandel, it doesn't have any earthiness which is very prevalent in Coromandel. I get a feeling I've smelled this before, it might very well be similar to the mentioned Narcotico. Beautiful drydown. Very unisex.
