Indigo

On first spray, it immediately opens with the scent and texture of the jeans accord, like wearing your favorite shorts, the denim sticking to your sweaty skin on a hot summer day, and the asphalt radiating underneath your feet as you hop onto your bike to ride into town.

The perfume than softens into a powdery orris, a smell reminiscent of my mother’s setting powder spilled onto the bathroom counter combined with the floral note of lavender and smooth warmth of sandalwood.

This is a perfume that gives you comfort and nostalgia, and yet provides intrigue and something new. Andrea Maack and perfumer Céline Barel really outdid themselves in creating this fragrance and it has become a staple in my own collection.

Have you ever fallen in love with a fragrance at first sniff? Indigo is so effortlessly cool and chic. I adore a good Iris type fragrance, but this is so much more. With the uniqueness of a blue jean accord alongside asphalt, lavender, and a musky sandalwood base, it’s a powdery fresh masterpiece.
