Description
“Full of indolic Indonesian florals, Indolis is and aromatic, oriental creation with an unusual blue character.
The composition opens with the rarest, most costly jasmine extract known to man: Indonesian jasmine enfleurage. Delicate, soft and virginal… yet with an indolic, almost animalic touch… this enfleurage represents the scent that is closest to the true aroma of a night-blooming jasmine flower. It is further boosted with distilled oil of gardenia blossoms. Wild, piercing and even more animalic, this adds unmatchable layers to the top notes. Sharp, Indonesian jasmine absolute and soft neroli from Tunisia provide a foundation for the bouquet of top notes, causing them to last and shine through the entire composition.
The heart of this perfume was not only blended, but co-distilled, by Russian Adam. Pineapple, ginger, lime and tangerine were placed together into a single boiler and cooked, allowing the essences to be released and infused into one another, bringing to life a totally unique aroma. It was then blended with rare Omani, green hojary frankincense, distilled by Russian Adam, using water from the Alp Mountains. Alpine water, with its minerals and unique chemical composition, contribute an unmistakable signature. Pristine, crystal clear, airy and fresh, it makes the delicate scent of green hojary frankincense even softer, purer and more refined.
Perfectly blended, co-existing notes gradually take us to a base that is silky smooth, with a green and blue character. Green Indonesian sandal oil, distilled by Russian Adam from sandal roots nearly 100 years old, provide a silky smooth, elegant platform for the base. It is spiced up, made more ambery and creamy, with a touch of wild
sandalwood oil and absolute from Australia, both extracted by Russian Adam himself.
The combination of chamomile oil from various regions contributes a distinctive aroma. It is herbal, slightly medicinal and extremely soft and creamy, producing an unusual, blue floral scent. Oakmoss resinoid adds a thick, foresty layer, soothing and tying together all the surrounding notes. An unmatchable green nuance is conveyed by
one-of-a-kind Chinese green tea absolute, extracted by Russian Adam. Harvested from a green tea tree, over a century old, it adds a highly-matured, yet fresh, herbal touch to the composition.
Full of rare and unique extracts, Indolis is indeed kaleidoscopic and complex. Gradually, smoothly shifting, the notes will change hour after hour, leaving the wearer mesmerized, as if he has applied several different fragrances and top quality extracts, rather than a single perfume.” – a note from the brand.
Indolis was launched in 2017.

Amazing. Best white flowers. It is equal to the quality of Puredistance Opardo but they deal with the white flowers in totally different way. Opardo use fragment and impressions of flowers to create luxary feeling. Indolis push the natural feeling beyond the limitation. Green leaf + white flower —sweet and natural white flower — woody feel and sweet natual white flower like nectar. Perfect !

I like it a lot but my wife did not, not sure exactly why but it isn’t one I will wear for her. I think the potency combined with some ingredient in it she didn’t care for. I probably over-sprayed. : ) But I do love it, so unique, and will continue to wear it.

Tangerine, jasmines, & oakmoss.
This is very European and precisely vintage yet contemporary blend using an old technique of blending. The jasmines are quite Victorian, blended in with tangerine, and oakmoss leaving it poisonous and harsh under galbanum, olibanum, and vetiver. Pineapple is there but not shows quite clear and giving a kind of bittersweet hints. The jasmines overcome the gardenia so well that i couldn’t figure the essence of gardenia until i realized the white floral effect.
This is like a poisonous dart, an evil in disguise, & the forbidden pleasure of an irresistible persona. I couldn’t imagined this without imagining the lady with the multi faces in Michael Jackson’s “Who Is It” music video. Ultimately impressive.

Indolis is really stunning and evocative, it’s as you find yourself immersed in a bed of tiny Jasmine flowers that surround you with their White scent and…bla bla bla..
SPRAY HARD!!! you cant even imagine what you miss if you don’t-
Jasmine? Yes but the dirty face..Jasmine turns into a carnivorous flower….it eaats your olfactory sense, it gives its dirty look and seduce you with indolic hormons…
Incense? Yes, right holds up the flowers, it lets you “see” those flowers through the airy smoke it produces, a clean smoke, like air that can be perceived as cristal clear, though it is not, as it misleads you and does it on purpose
Pineapple, Ginger powder, lime and tangerine play in the background, cant pin them down, of course, but it’s like you feel a fruity mix, like having them cracked open in baskets…guess where? behind the Jasmine tree…
there’s also a bitterness that bring this perfume more on the masculine side, it might be the lavender that plays with the other base notes listed above…
12 hours after applications is an Indolic monster 🙂 .-)
Glad I managed to get my hands on this masterpiece

Imagine yourself drowning in an ocean of the most exquisite hand picked Indian Jasmine flowers. This is that amazingly perfect jasmine fragrance that probably every one of us dreamt of but always had to make do with synthetic substitutes. Take a look above at the love that went into creating this fragrance and you will understand. The Indonesian jasmine enfleurage mixed in with hints of neroli, olibanum, green tea, sandalwood, lime, ginger, chamomile, and oakmoss creates a divinely exotic Floriental chypre, something so unique and breathtakingly beautiful that has never been ever attempted before in modern perfumery. The moment it lands on my skin, I go into a sensuous swoony trance. This without doubt is the most erotic fragrance in my collection, a totally natural almost animalic Indian jasmine that takes me off on an unending magic carpet ride. Moderate in sillage, projection and longevity and slightly feminine leaning but can be worn by bold sensuous men. In one word, a masterpiece!

Indolis has one of the most stunning openings I’ve ever smelled. Rare jasmine enfleurage, thousands of tiny white flowers exhaling their last breath. Reinforced by gardenia, orange blossom and jasmine absolute. This flurry of white spirits is surrounded by the most gossamer green radiance. It ripples with brightness and life.
As this glorious legacy dissapates, the emerald drydown transforms into an elaborate green accord. Using a blend of oakmoss and frankincense, it becomes the smell of renewal and rebirth. Like a new frond unfurling in slow motion.
Russian Adam’s painstaking methods, and demand for only the most elusive ingredients is beautifully displayed in Indolis. The art of perfume lives, and Indolis is a great achievement. The accord is seamless, it is hard to pick out individual notes. But they pulse within, vibrating with animation. I wish all stages of it lasted longer, but it gives me the chance to re-experience that mind-blowing opening!

If you’re still kicking yourself for missing out on the glory that is Ottoman Empire, this is a fair substitute (similar, but not the same.)
