Indochine

This is an easy top 5 scent all time for from first sniff. The notes don't really tell the story on this fragrance. This is a dirty vanilla with some white florals. Also has a slight fruity boozy vibe. Performance is off the charts. Im extremely happy to have this in my collection and one day hope this becomes widely available to everyone and not so limited. Can be worn all year round and can be signature scent worthy. 10/10 Official notes are TOP NOTES: Orange, Strawberry, Pink Pepper & Freesia. MIDDLE NOTES: Rose, Muguet & Peony. BASE NOTES: Vanilla, Blend of Woods, Agarwood & Musk.

Oud Stars is a Collection of Fragrances that holds a very special place in my heart, as this was the collection that made my fall truly in love with the art of perfumery, with oud, with Xerjoff. The fusion of Italian craftsmanship meets Arabic exoticism is like perfect melody to the olfactive senses, and the new born Indochine, is a scent that demands respect. The magical formula reads very mystical and aristocratic on skin, truly special. Unfolding on first blast with a very extravagant fruity accord and a mesmerizing floral bouquet. The oud in Indochine packs a slight funky punch, a certain arabian mysticism, and the overdose of freesia showcases a very sweet fruity facet, releasing aromas reminiscent of caramelized strawberry jam. Indochine is quite exotic and well nuanced, the floral arrangement is bright and awakening, with delicate white florals and just a hint of rose, as well as a slight green herbal presence. This beauty is rich in sweetness, but not sugary, more like a succulent nectar, Oud and musk frame the composition in the base, with a sensual animalic touch. Indochine lasting power is eternal, easily noticeable after 12 hours and a shower, and the projection is room filling, 4 sprays is the most I recommend. I’m highly impressed.
