Katy Perry's Indi

I just don't know how the notes listed here add up to the perfume in this bottle?! Due to all the musk I suspect this is very much a skin chemistry situation because on my skin this is incredible, it really is! To my nose it smells like tonka bean, musk and coconut cream! I was amazed to find no coconut listed in the notes. I do tend to love scents with tea in them and I like warm and creamy musks (as opposed to the cold and sterile types in Narciso Rodriguez and Juliette has a gun fragrances) so this one is kind of fascinating.... it's a cool musk but it's so creamy and sweet that it's almost a gourmand sort of coconut on my skin. I honestly think this is one of my most successful blind buys and I absolutely wasn't expecting to love this at all. I bought it to test because it was so ludicrously cheap in the sale but I've gone back and bought more bottles because I'm absolutely in love with Indi! Such a delicious surprise. I'm sad it doesn't work so well for everyone but good news for me :) edt - Also wanted to mention that unlike many other reviewers I don't find this at all woody. I hate cedar in perfumes but I don't get cedar from this.... I think it's all just stranslating as coconut cream for some reason! It lasts on my skin for around 4 hours before I'm craving to re-spritz, but it lasts longer on clothes. Mind you on clothes it's pure coconutty whereas on skin the sweet muskyness blossoms a bit more so even when it's almost disappeared my wrists still smell gently sweet and lovely. My skin but better!

i purchased a bottle from Fragrancenet a month ago. I sprayed it on the air first and i could barely get a super weak coconut musky smell. nothing unpleasant, actually it was nice and left me intrigued wanting to get a better wiff of it. I then sprayed the box and nothing just a very milk coconut milk/ coconut water with mild musk. I sprayed my skin and i could not smell it att all. I was just so confused since this fragrance has TONS of various musk on the base, but no coconut. Maybe the 'Island Musk" contains coconut...idk. i put the bottle away back in its box and tonight decided to pull it out again. I smelled the box which i had initially sprayed and surprisingly the scent intensified!!!! i was like what the Freaken Heck!!! Same thing happened when i sprayed on my skin. I could barely detect anytthing. The longer I waited and gave it more time to settle the stronger and more refined it developed on my skin. I Love! Love! this one. the weird thing is I hate coconut & heavy musky powdery scents. But this turns into a light delicate alluring, even captivating coconuty, musky, clean perfume on my skin. I will continue to wear this and test during the day/night/spring/summer ect. i will post my findings on my youtub chanel, once i can give a better review on this. btw...i am testing this fragrance now & its freezing winter weather. cheers

I am honestly 100% surprised at how much I like this! If you, like me, associated Katy Perry only with her super-sweet, pungent scents like "Purr" (super-caramelised vanilla) and "Killer Queen (chocolate-covered patchouli); you'd be forgiven for being COMPLETELY confused at this KP fragrance. Nothing like the above-mentioned fragrances - which I love in their own right. Sometimes a girl needs a sugar slam. But this is so different! I never pictured how a floral, woody musk would smell like, but after sniffing this - I get it. More shockingly, I likes it. I get that soft, relaxing white tea. The plum is there as a soft sweetness to carry the tea and prevent it being "herb-y". The cyclamen brings the floral tone. This isn't a strong floral at all - which is best, I think. The cedar and huge musk together make this alluring and low-key intoxicating. I love smelling this on my skin hours later. The woodsy musk makes me want to curl up and rest my eyes... *snore* ‐------------------‐‐---------------------------------------‐---------------------- EDIT (20-07-2020) = Increased rating. An outstanding floral woody musk. *** Kitty rating: 9.5/10.

I don't know what I was expecting, but a Santal 33 flanker was def not it! It smells so similar to Santal 33 to me, but with a little more depth from the plum, and with a little bit of a creamy note. Maybe it's the amber that grounds it, but it is pretty soft. Santal 33 def smells more woody and earthy-fresh, it has a much lighter feeling to it. Right now, Indi reminds me more of when I first got Santal 33, when it was sharp and pungent. I almost gave up on it, but then I left it alone for a few weeks, and when I tried it again, it was beautiful. Indi isn't as sharp as Santal 33 started out (to the point of it being pickle juice), but I will let my bottle of Indi settle down too. I do imagine it settling into something lovely. From the smell, I don't think anyone would guess that this is a celebrity perfume. It really is a little gem in a sea of sticky sweet candy scents. I also love sweet scents, but this is such a delightful surprise. I got this for like $7 - a steal! I def recommend ppl try this. You can def find this for $10 or less, and it's well worth it!

This is really nice, as others said, a total comfort scent. The musk in this is not like the one in Narciso Rodriguez, Rumeur, Idylle and the like, but it’s an extremely “textile”, very dry and very tame musk. There is zero unctuousness in this. It’s almost like a cloud of gentle sweetness floating around you, or a soft cashmere veil around bare skin. It also has a lactonic quality to it somehow, like a glass of warm sweetened milk before bed. Sillage is really soft on my skin, but lasting power is good, 4 hours in and I can very much smell it. It doesn’t evolve much on me, it dries down really fast to this cozy, fluffy cloud and that’s what it stays like. Highly recommended for a tighter budget or for someone who likes wearing comforting skin scents, wearing perfume after shower, to bed, spray their scarves and that kind of stuff. Doesn’t come across as cheap as many celebrity perfumes do, either.
