EXTEPHORT – :
I’ve just returned from Italy with a 10ml travel size of this, along with other fragrances from L’Erbolario, and I wish I had splashed out the £30 or so it would have cost me to buy 100mls. Ridiculously inexpensive for the quality, this is a lovely unisex oriental. I get no cocoa from it, just gentle balsams and woods with a cooling lick of vetiver and geranium.
Longevity is excellent, lasting all day as a skin scent that is highly appropriate for wear to the office or to functions where you don’t want a showstopper to knock ’em dead. I’d liken it to L’Air du Desert Marocain in its breadth of wearability – and that is exceptionally high praise from me, as LDDM is my Holy Grail for wearability.
A wholehearted recommendation from me. Go out of your way to try this brand, it is worth it.

I strongly dislike this perfume. The opening is promising, like a powdery feminine fragrance mixed with a delicate hint of good, woody-balsamic aftershave.
But after few seconds, the fragrance turns bitter and stale. I can´t pick a single note out of this mess.
It´s not the skin, even the tester smell confusingly bad.
For me, its just pure olfactory chaos… that said, you may be of a different opinion and that´s totally fine.
I´m one for simple, classic perfumes I think.
Just be sure to smell it and try it before you buy.

Very nice perfume. It’s a sweet but adult perfume. You can smell the cocoa powder, vanilla, vetiver, amber and geranium all wrapped in powder. I love it. I think it’s more a womanly than masculine perfume, although I’d like it on a man too

Winter is slowly approaching, yes there is autumn before, it is enough to look at the color of the leaves on the trees and at the perfumes that we can feel in the air that announce gradually but surely the end of summer and the beginning autumn, rain, humidity, I think I’ll soon turn on my sofa and I’ll tune the radio on my favourite station while reading you.
But why do I talk to you about all this, when I should talk to you about a perfume? I love perfumes I have but I actually use almost the same every day during winter, and during summer I change but I like to find the same bases in them. So, winter coming in, I put on my indigo suit every morning and a generous whiff of Indaco by L’Erbolario.
I could describe this perfume as androgynous, although I do not have an exact definition of androgyny: In fact especially for me, is the most common state of mind. But when I wear this perfume I do not go unnoticed, and it is not worth it to put a lot of them, anyone can follow my trail. It fits perfectly this rainy days and has a little melancholic side provided by a dampened combo vetiver plus patchouli.
An oriental note in this perfume undoubtedly gives it a magical side, a little casual too, like a hazy impression of traveling somewhere. A pale woody side almost bleaches a dusky drydown, and a slightly lemony hint also gives its brightness: in fact, a zesty kick becomes apparent at first, and slowly fades away. Surely a keeper and far better than the usual production of L’Erbolario.

Can’t agree more with Whit because I also received my Indaco from Italy, surely the same Ebayer…
Very good perfume but not 100% my taste, I get the powdery cacao but no patchouly for my nostrils… Should definitely stop blind buying…

I thought I’d pop on here and write a quick review on the lovely creation. I bought this from in Ebay seller in Italy, so it took a while for me to get it.
The opening on me has a bit of an aftershave quality, which is probably caused by the citruses. It’s not overwhelming, but somewhat noticeable. Then the cacao and patchouli come into play and the aftershave note goes into the background. I also get hints of vanilla and tonka on my skin as well. To me, it’s more of an oriental gourmand. It’s not candy sweet and definitely unisex. Indaco is unique and very warm for late fall and winter. I also think it’s a great night scent as well. Longevity is around 6 hours on my skin with moderate sillage. The seller I bought from also gave me samples of the body cream and shower gel to layer. The body cream is really nice too and smells like the fragrance. I think if you layer, it’ll last much, much longer. I think if one was a fan of fragrances like Black Orchid, TM Angel, Velvet Orchid, YR’s Cocoon, you’d like this unusual fragrance as well.
Overall, I’m really digging this new release from L’erbolario.

Strange opening: the citrus part is neither strong enough to give you a real fresh start nor so gentle to mix well with the sweetness immediately underneath. I’d say let’s forget the citrus part, which in any case begins to forget itself very quickly, lasting only two short minutes to be generous. Then it’s all warm cacao, softened by some creamy vanilla and animated by the vetiver. The result on my skin is a sort of sea salt chocolate gourmand. Not bad at all.

It’s true the background notes are very good (Smell like the ones you can find in both Passion by Liz Taylor) But to get there we have to go through something very strange, weird. Just sprinkled I hear nothing but a vague smell of alcohol and glue. Then there come up talc and aromatic notes, sort of artemisia talc. But this classic talc seem to be mixed with notes such as vinyl, leather, synthetic vanilla, gasoline, industrial aroma. It looks like plastic talc. Figure to Cross a Forest made of faux leather.
Weird fragrance. Nice.

The dry down is so addictive! A very delicious gourmand fragrance. The opening is quite fruity and floral, I wasn’t too impressed to be honest but now I can’t stop smelling my wrist.
Reminds me a bit of a niche version of Ultra Male, more complex and polished (defiantly not a clone). Unisex indeed. As usual, great quality from L’Erbolario!
