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.

If there is one underrated pearl of the cheapie world this it it! This scent is so much better than many other designer and more expensive ones. I do not know why coconut is not listed in the notes but I do smell some...even though it might be the creaminess of the sandalwood together with the myriads of musks in the composition. This scent profile is definitely one of my favorites and one that is so relaxing and cozy to me...I love to wear this to bed, I love to wear it for any occasion that does not require dressing up or showing off...It ́s so bloody underrated and this truly deserves more love! Pretty accurate comparison with BDK gris charnel, minus the fig and the price tag. If you like sandalwood get this one, you won't regret it. Longevity average, sillage close to skin. For the price it ́s an absolute steal!

I literally cannot smell this, like any part of it! I am completely nose-blind to this. I was about to give up and basically give it away but then experimented with an almost invisible peach perfume from Oakcha. Magic! Witchcraft! Wow! This behaves almost exactly like ISO E Super to diffuse, elevate, reinforce and lock in volatile fruit notes, delicate sweetness, barely-there scents and synthetic vanilla! This musk bomb gives the weakest of weaksauce scents a beautiful boost and hours of longevity. ❗Experiment before committing to the next layer. Does not play well with synthetic sugary chemicals, aquatic or marine notes, other musk-heavy perfumes. My chemistry thrives on formulas like this, yours may not. 1/10 I couldn't see its potential until I learned... 9/10 It's not a perfume, it's a tool.

This is an extremely easy reach for the days when you want something cozy and a little introverted. It gets compliments and people asking what it is more than nearly anything I own, simply for how easy of a reach it is and how affordable it is. It's also amazing for layering to amplify weaker perfumes or giving linear scents new dimensions. It feels like a very decadent deodorant. I should also say that I work in a hospital and I've convinced about 3 nurses and 2 patients to get some just from proximity. Lastly,it's brilliant for sensitive noses for the simple fact is so smooth after the first few seconds of the alcohol blast; even so, it speaks to how gentle what comes after is. Easy buy and I've bought myself a back up bottle already. Absolute love.

I just blind bought this as it was on clearance-along with a tube of mascara-in a little gift box for 7.49 at Walgreens. I tend to go a little crazy when I see perfumes on clearance. Anyhow... I really like this:a soft coconutty musk with a slight hint of cedar. Normally I amp cedar like crazy but it's actually playing nice for once. I agree with everyone else who describes this scent as 'cozy'.Just the thing to reach for when you need a little comfort.Something is this brings to mind a pale Sensuous Nude which I also own. I LOVE someone's describing this as warm kitten fur: I have a mess o'kitties and yes I get that vibe as well. Weak sillage and wear length but for the price I paid I don't mind reapplying. An excellent blind buy...for once! :)

I love Indi. I bought it based on the reviews here and I love it. I am a citrusy person until I find the power of musky perfume. This is very tricky to say that because when I wear this, some people find it very fresh and woody, other think it’s too musky or cloying. I believe musky perfumes are play along with your body chemistry or your nose or your feeling. I got the weirdest compliments every time I wear this like “you smelled like a childhood, a new wooden desk in a class” or “are you naturally smelled sexy like this” etc. I have to laugh. This perfume is very warm and comforting for me. It’s like my safe space. If I want to feel calm, i spritz one on my wrist and call it a day.

I can say INDI is hands down the best parfum of Katy Perry. I've tried her other parfums like Killer Queen and ROYAL REVOLUTION but INDI just stands out for me it's really a unique scent and very unisex compared to her other fragrances and surprisingly her most affordable parfum, I really love its scent it's very cozy and comforting this has been my signature scent lately and also this is very similar to Lost in Santal by Bath and Body Works (which I just got today they both share the same scent profile especially on their dry down) so I will be layering these two, also the Snowflakes and Cashmere by Bath and Body Works as well is good for layering with INDI. 🖤🤍

This smells sooooo comforting!!! I have the toxic (for my bank account) tendency to blind buy celebrity perfumes drawn by the low risk of their low price and I have to say only twice I've been so pleasantly surprised by a celebrity frag - Indi and Stash by SJP. Unlike Stash however, this was a love at first sniff! The opening is sweet and plummy but the drydown is magical- I get musky clean coconut and creamy calming tonka. In my opinion, this a scent perfect for a minimalist who likes to smell clean and natural. This won't project and last for more than 3 hours, but it's amazing while it does and for the price I am happy to keep repurchasing. I LOVE THIS STUFF!

I've made a huge dent in my bottle in a few months time. I tend to be so bored with fragrances this safe and easy but the thing is... it is too safe and easy for me to deny its appeal. I'm a little mad because if asked to judge, I have many more interesting bottles. More expensive too. But I just started at a new workplace and so this keeps calling to me. Wear me! I cost under 10€ a bottle! You don't give damn about Katy Perry so you can abuse the bottle all you like, it's not like a fetish unlike your Guerlain bee bottle! Throw me in your tote bag, I'm not gonna break or weight too much! Seriously, I'm not gonna upset anyone! Soft milky musky.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I have been searching everywhere for an affordable fragrance that gave me the same vibes as Commodity Paper + which is up there in my top five all time fav fragrances. And this has finally scratched that itch. It’s got the incense, it’s got the dry vetiver, it’s got the woodiness. Admittedly it starts to lean slightly towards a Versace Crystal Noir vibe in the late dry down, but honestly, for the vanishingly low price, I can handle that. I suspect that if I layer with some ISO E Super I’ll get an even closer dupe of Paper + This is not a Santal 33 dupe. It’s Commodity Paper +’s cheap little sister.

Considering this is less than £4 for 30ml right now in the UK, this is a bargain. I was really impressed. It smells a bit of berry fruit plant leaves to me to begin but really the dominant thing is a creamy sandalwood, that has hints of very clean unsweetened coconut. It's not coconut, it's just my mind playing tricks, but wow, so creamy and a skin scent really but a lovely one for bed time, very comforting and pillowy. I would repurchase if I had a smaller collection. It's a basic but good smelling and great value celebrity perfume and the notes don't really adequately describe how it smells at all.

Katy Perry is not my favourite astronaut not gonna lie, but this perfume smells simply amazing! Soft, creamy, heavenly! It smells similar to those high end sandalwood/fig/coconut perfumes, but i like this one the most. However, I see what people mean when they say it smells like cum, but no actual cum would smell this good (or any good lol?) Also my therapist liked it so much she asked me to write down the name of it :,D I feel like this is one of those perfumes that seem very weak at first but it's actually quite long lasting and other people can smell it on you for a long time

This makes me think of coconut rice. Very warm and cosy, the opening is a little tart and fruity, which was a surprise but an enjoyable one. Kind of wish the sour note lingered a bit longer and was more prominent, because this thing is sooo sweet... Threatened to make me kinda nauseous but then I had a snack and it calmed down the reaction. This should be a total people-pleaser. I'll have to try layering this with something muskier or more tangy. The bottle is cute, I'm wondering what kind of a coating it has because it feels almost a little rubbery. Don't like the cap though.

One of my friends tested my bottle of Indi (because I thought her Van Cleef and Arpels Santal Blanc smelt really similar!) and she love it - but her description cracked me up so I wanted to share it! She said it smelt like being a teenager and smelt like unrequited lust! The t-shirts and sweet musk of all the boys you liked... being super horny in your bedroom, but never getting laid! I got her a bottle for her Birthday, along with Indi Visible (which I think might be the boozy after-party version that actually got laid, lol!).

I have to revisit my previous review of this perfume because it was a negative one, and in the meantime I came to love it and it is one of my most worn perfumes! I said in another review that I can't smell it and that it is very weak, but I don't know what happened because now I feel it all day when I wear it, and it stays on my clothes for several days. I even received compliments. It is super creamy and probably due to all the types of musk combined with each other, it also has a light coconut aroma. I love it now!

Indi is such a well blended fragrance. For the price, it's a steal. It's a creamy skin scent. It makes me think of the line 'your skin, only better'. Lactonic...but not sweet. My nose is a bit anosmic to Indi because it meshes so well with my skin chemistry. I douse my clothes in it so that I can have the aura around me. The cedar note translates more to a creamy sandalwood for me. The coconut is not sweet...it adds to the milky tone of Indi. I love this scent. Comforting, cozy and lovely.
