Description
Kenzo presents a new fragrant pair L`Eau Par Kenzo Eau Indigo, which
will arrive on the market during April 2009. L`Eau Par Kenzo Eau
Indigo Pour Femme and L`Eau Par Kenzo Eau Indigo Pour Homme are spring
versions of original Kenzo editions with hidden meaning of the word
Indigo in the name of the fragrance.
Indigo is connected with anxiety (tension and inner unrest) in
psychology, and the new notes enable listening to one’s inner voice and
finding the right choice and solution. Indigo for women and Indigo for
men present connection with one’s personality, impulses and deep
feelings, and finding inner peace and deep relaxation.
Mysterious and delicate feminine L`Eau Par Kenzo Eau Indigo Pour
Femme whispers juicy, citrusy and floral secrets in a sensual way. Top
notes incorporate facets of bitter bergamot and passionate and juicy
mandarin, which start the composition. A heart features Sambac jasmine
and ylang ylang, while a rich base is created of plum accords mixed
with warm ambergris and balmy, tobacco-like Tonka.
Flacons of the new fragrant pair are the same as in the original
L`Eau Par Kenzo. The colours of the flacons symbolize mystery and the theme of
this year’s editions, so the edition for women is decorated with
purple nuances and the one for men is coloured in blue. The outer carton
of the version for women features lotus blossom on peaceful water, and
the edition for men an evening over slightly wavy water. This fragrant
pair represents our inner peace perfectly in tune with natural
surroundings. The nose behind this fragrance is Sophie Labbe.
frefrefilmsfre – :
Nothing special at all! It is soft and weak.
ibizzza – :
This smells so much like deoderant, Secret? It reminds me of Project Know, the little puberty class thing we had in middle school. I think that’s what it was called, I can’t remember, but we got little bags with our first deoderant in them and this smell brings that to mind. 🙂 Not bad if you like the smell of the powder scented kind of deoderant, but not for me.
Privvid111 – :
I usually love fragrances with plum, especially in violet bottles. But this one is not catchy at all.
ecl606elipseskism – :
I call this one plums in a powder. And I mean it in the nicest way.
Have been using original L’Eau Par for years in summer but this one has nothing in common with the original one – or yes, maybe one thing: both fragrances smell great.
Indigo is rather warm, comforting and quite sensual perfume for fall/winter. It’s like covering yourselt with your favourite and coziest sweater that also looks good on you.
Not cloyingly sweet, gentle scent. Really well blended perfume.
I still have some juice left in my bottle and I’m glad I do as it was discontinued.
zimconquaer – :
Very unique. Indigo colour rafined into liquid and filled in bottle. I can smell mostly tonka and bergamot. Should be calming the mind but the efect of this scent – pleasant one, is exactly opposite, makes me restless.
s1111111111 – :
Sensual and mysterious , powdery in a niche, loukhoum way, enveloping, ambergris tone reminds me strongly of Ambergris Balmain ‘ s one, it is like a tender, but persistent veil of warm pastel colors of evening, so very attractive fragrance. I think it was underrated and not very well known for some reasons in times when was easily available, and not everyone will go for blind buy for money ppl ask for it, which is sad, this perfume deserves more love from public.
Svarog88 – :
The first L’Eau Par Kenzo appeared in 1996 for the female audience. The male version only came on the market in 1999. Currently, twenty years later, the line already has more than 20 different versions on the same theme. Eau Indigo versions hit the market in 2009.
The inspiration came from psychology, since Indigo was linked to anxiety and the intention was to create fragrances that could help in the process of relaxation, bringing peace and balance.
L’Eau Par Kenzo Eau Indigo Pour Femme usually deceives anyone who thinks that just because it has the name L’Eau, it will be another “boring water”. Jokes aside, this perfume has nothing to do with a simple L’Eau. It is an exotic floral, which could have been launched as Noir, Nuit or any other type of nomenclature that reinforces nocturnal aspects.
Its composition includes notes of bergamot, mandarin and a touch of magnolia, in the head. In the body of the fragrance, a rich floral accord of Sambac jasmine, ylang-ylang essence and orange blossom (Azahar flower), on an almondy base with notes of tonka bean, ambergris and plum.
On the skin, the output is strong and weird, since the citrus nuances do not merge to the floral nuances in a perfect fit. It seems they made a layering of different perfumes and something went out of harmony. This initial phase makes the fragrance behave as unisex and, in a way, often scare many women.
On the other hand, this distinctive scent encourages us to find out what comes next. And the magic happens when the fragrance begins to gain a sweet and creamy side, rich in jasmine and, especially, in ylang-ylang, with small facets that are powdery and indolic, causing a contradictory feeling of repugnance and comfort.
With the passing of the hours, the projection diminishes a little and the perfume appears more comfortable and soft, thanks to the tonka bean. In this final phase, the plum note is divine and reminded me of the same nuance of plum that exists in a masculine scent of which I like very much: Lacoste Pour Homme.
L’Eau Par Kenzo Eau Indigo Pour Femme plays with the limits of gender and differs of the male version, which is much more refreshing. In fact, I do not think it is the ideal fragrance for hot days and I still risk saying that, perhaps, it has been little publicized in its concept, precisely for not delivering what it promises.
As I have never read reviews or comments on it, as I see about more powerful and sensual fragrances, it seems to me that there is a lack of knowledge and, especially, of interest from the female audience, maybe for thinking that it is another fresh fragrance from the house. But make no mistake! It is a fragrance with quality and behavior worthy of an Eau de Parfum, which fits well with autumn afternoons or cooler nights.
JAZZ777 – :
I love it, its just the right fragrance for me.
wregrarvedund – :
I do not feel any floral or citrus notes. I do feel notes of blue ink, plastic and Xerox. Very synthetic. Complete disappointment after Flower, Flower parfume and Kenzo by Kenzo, that i loved.
siamions – :
Oh wow. I generous swap partner snuck this into the box she mailed me; I’d never heard of it before, but looking at the notes made me joyfully anticipate wearing. I like plum and tonka, and ylang ylang is growing on me as it seems to be a common note in some of my favorites.
Actually wearing this has been extremely enjoyable. But, I feel like what I smell is *not* what is listed! If I had to guess the notes without reading them, I’d say I smelled cumin–lightly sweaty and earthy–for the first 2 minutes and then this became a powdery heliotrope fragrance, quite comparable to White Soul or even to Kenzo’s own Amour (which I adore).
This is definitely lightly powdery, and I find that ylang ylang can often bring the powder. If the plum is there, it is not what I normally smell as plum (eg, Rogue or Natori). As I write, it occurs to me that this is somewhat like Natori, but brighter. It also seems to have a light, powdery amber note.
I think my nose is reading the ambergris as cumin, as ambergris is an organic note that comes across like warm skin. I think the plum + ylang ylang must be crossing my wires and giving me the heliotrope I swear I smell. I also think it’s possible I’m anosmic to some of this fragrance, as it really seems to ebb and flow on my skin; the initial application–after the cumin–seemed to disapear, until I smelled heliotrope, so it’s entirely possible I’m smelling this in a single dimension vs the multi dimensions it was meant to convey.
All that said, it’s lovely. It’s sweet and soft, powdery and feminine, gentle and calming. I enjoy smelling it, and am so pleased to have been given it. Longevity (my quirky nose aside) seems to be about 3 hours, which is sadly short. Sillage was modest; no compliments, but I felt it was radiating nicely. I have a tiny, purse sized spray bottle, so I cannot comment on the bottle. I recommend this for fans of …. well, I’d say, for fans of Amour, White Soul, Natori and other powdery sweet fragrances.
demos80 – :
I get plummy tonka ambergris heaven with this one. It’s richly evocative and can’t quite put my finger on what it reminds me of. Powder accord is soft and not all that dominant on me but I have always believed powder smells can be a individuals own skin chemistry reaction
I love this unique beauty and am so thankful to a fantastic swapper that shared it with me
muk – :
Indigo is a soft, modern, powdery, vanilla-musky type of scent in the same family as (but not identical to) Jaipur Saphir and Armani Lei. I’ve seen a few reviews comparing it to DK Cashmere Mist and although I can see why people make that comparison, that wouldn’t be the first thing I’d compare it to. Indigo starts off with sort of a spicy citrus blast that seems like it might be veering into “masculine” territory, but after a few minutes it settles, and as it dries down it turns into a comforting powdery (but not baby-powdery), smooth, musky, vaguely vanillic (but not foody) skin scent. It’s hard to detect individual notes, but I would swear this fragrance contains heliotrope, because there’s almost a “fluffy” feeling to it. It’s the fragrance equivalent of wearing your favorite silky underwear. It’s easy to wear and it does not have strong sillage, so it would be suitable for situations where you can’t wear a fragrance that makes a strong statement or projects. This would be perfect for wearing to the office, out to dinner, to the theater, etc. It’s kind of a background noise sort of fragrance. It’s not boring by any means, but it doesn’t shout or demand attention.
Kristi46 – :
Love it!!! Very unique and sexy. Subtle, but long lasting.
GalyVikRam – :
This is my first Kenzo. I blind bought it online and was super excited to try it. The notes looked delectable, however, I was completely underwhelmed when I tried it. It’s very pleasant..don’t get me wrong..but what’s most dissapointing is it’s lack of projection. Not an exaggeration, I have to put my nose about an inch from my skin to smell it..and that’s within ten mintues of spraying it. I’ve had it since last fall, so I’ve tried in two different seasons. I’m hoping the hot, summer air will do some kind of wonder for me so I’ll hang onto it a bit longer. The other dissapointment for me is that I smell absolutely NO PLUM.Nada. I mostly smell ambergris ( which I LOVE) NOT AMBER……and Johnson’s baby powder and something slightly almondy (like heliotrope which is not listed). NO fruit and maybe the tiniest hint of Jasmine and Ylang Ylang. The way this smells on me, I don’t associate it with the color Indigo in any way,shape or form. If I had to rename it a different color, I’d go with: Perrywinkle.
yurayura – :
I’m puzzled. The listed notes outline a warm, balsamic, soft spicy perfume, yet my nose smells it completely different. Soft spicy yes, but I’d say this is a heavy musk fragrance, musk being the main note. I don’t know what gives that unmistakably musky feeling to me as it’s not listed here at all. I get zero sweetness from Indigo> no amber, no jasmine, and definitely no tonka. What I do get is bergamot, and the spiciness of plum and ylang-ylang. It’s a nice fresh scent, but not outstanding unfortunately, even though it looks so promising going by the description. It’s nice enough to wear.
sap – :
It is a sharp fragrance, at least on me. Not in a bad way, thou. I think, the mood and impression it leaves would suit someone energetic, sharp and minimalist. Not my kind, but very interesting one.
vladivostok200019 – :
Comforting elegance with a strong personality, I’d say. Not boastful, nor imposing. A distinctive perfume with a kind and warm heart, elegant and mysterious at the same time – which is rare.
A jewel among perfumes. They captured so well the essence of the indigo colour itself – can’t think of a better name.
Keywords: midnight violets and fantasies, amber, musk, cashmere.
Майбах – :
This is delicious, tempting and aromatic. A little soapy but in a good way.
I find it mature, sophisticated and elegant, also kind of mysterious. It is an art in the perfume world, but it might not be suitable for everyday life. An extraordinary fragrance for sure.
Very strong, with huge sillage, I think one spray is perfectly enough.
Garett – :
The first time when I saw the pyramid of L’Eau par Kenzo Eau Indigo, I too thought that it was a heavy composition and was skeptical how it would fit as a flanker of L’Eau par Kenzo. However, after wearing it a few times, all the previous reviews make perfect sense.
Eau Indigo is powdery tonka bean all the way through, yet it has a crisp freshness keeping it transparent and clean. This particular texture reminds me of Kenzo Flower and Bvlgari Blv Notte, as all three seem to rely on a similar trick to bring out a discreet dynamisme.
The opening notes of bergamot gradually transitions into ylang-ylang, which adds a sensual feminine sweetness to the powdery tonka. Amber brings more warmth with time, but the whole scent always keeps its clean powdery nature.
I don’t find it ‘indigo’ per se, probably because I don’t detect much plum on me. But the dusky aura that Eau Indigo exudes, makes perfect match with the twilight. Eau Indigo, being primarily powdery, also smells quite different from the aquatic original L’Eau par Kenzo. However, both share a contemplative and calm quality, which makes them spiritually in the same family.
The sillage is moderate to soft, the longevity is at least 9 hours. Eau Indigo is introspective, yet its clean powderiness feels very cozy as well. I think it worths a sniff, especially to those who enjoy powdery fragrances.
Lianelan – :
Thanks to 2746cstreet for my lovely decant. Also, amen on the “ambergris, as opposed to amber” sentiment. Ain’t no amber up in here!
Indigo opens with the brisk saltiness of Eau des Merveilles on the front edge, quickly followed by the billowy, yet musky-powdery finish of tonka. What a sexy, yet understated combination of accords! I really don’t find it sweet at all. Indigo is a true skin scent in every sense. It wears close to the skin, and it smells like clean skin that has been exposed to the open ocean and to the sand and dust of the dunes, and then to the clean white linens of a quaint beach house on the coast.
It’s amazing how evocative Indigo is. It doesn’t smell natural as in, “occurring in nature”, but it does smell natural as in, after awhile I couldn’t tell whether I was detecting Indigo, or just the natural scent of my own arm. I think I am going to have to buy this at some point. It’s very comforting and pure. Longevity is average, wears as a skin scent.
BriennaRary – :
First let me say that this is an ambergris and not amber fragrance. Big difference, Fragrantica. Psh.
Because of this, I was afraid to try Indigo for a long time. I saw amber + plum and thought: SYRUP.
However, because I’m just crazy like that I went ahead and blind bought it when I came across an irresistible price on eBay.. and I’m glad I did.
This is powdery as hell. I love it. The opening has a strong, bitter bergamot that I rather like. It’s assertive as bergamot should be. However, the dry down is a musky, dusky tonka scent with just a bit of plum and jasmine.
Definitely a “skin scent” in the sense that it’s not uh, “perfumey” as they say. However, sillage is moderate and Indigo is quite long lasting.
I’m a big fan of musky/powdery/creamy scents and this is a major “like”. Not quite a love yet.. it hasn’t necessarily grabbed me, but I can see myself wearing this often.
Kristi01 – :
I reviewed this a year ago and I still adore it!!!! However today I was wearing Donna Karan’s Cashmere Mist which I love but I find I get headaches from it. Anyhow I showered tonight before bed and sprayed with Kenzo instead and I find it reminds me of Cashmere Mist! A lot softer and woodier but similar and best of all NO HEADACHE!!!
I think I know which perfume I will choose tomorrow!!!
assaummot – :
I love how light and fresh this fragrance is .. it’s calming. I mostly use it at home .
klas – :
I had hopes for this one, it sounded so lovely just from the name and there are many reviews about how grand it is. Unfortunately, not for me. I wish I smelled all the lovely things others speak of. The only thing I can say is that this scent does have a melancholy “blue’ mood to my mind. It started off smelling very much like vintage fountain pen ink. Not a bad smell, but not anything I would want to wear. Then it developed into a generic grocery store ‘clean’ soap scent. I think there is also a clothes washing liquid that smells similar to this. This fragrance and my skin did not like one another. Since I got only ink and soap scents from it, this one is not for me.
Mabelod – :
I bought Indigo at the Narita airport on New Year’s Day, 2010. I believe I was in search of Balenciaga’s Paris, but I tried this and immediately loved it. It forever reminds me of winter because it’s soft and cozy; it smells like an ivory cashmere sweater against that cool blue-glow twilight of winter evenings. Powdery, musky, a little floral, but not overwhelming.
gen2377 – :
Third bottle. Love L’eau par Indigo.. Love the Tonka, Plum and Amber mix. Its grown-up, deep, dark and sexy. No sugarsweet notes in this one and thats great! And Indigo stays all day/night, very longlasting on my skin.
Tredje flaskan. Älskar L’eau par Indigo. Älskar mixen av Tonka, Plommon och Amber. Den är vuxen, djup, mörk och sexig. Inga sockersöta doftnoter och det är bra! Indigo sitter hela dagen/kvällen, otroligt hållbar på min hud.
atulio – :
I made yet another boo boo, bought it without testing it first. It smells just like Shalimar, to my nose!
NO more buying blind for me, I’ve learned my lesson.
I can understand how many women would love this scent, it’s just not for me. I adore the clean, fresh fragrances and this one is just too sweet for me.
vladimir557 – :
Such an interesting scent, woodsy, but a clear woodsy, a bit in its own vibe, calm, almost an intellectual scent if I dare say!? hard to define almost, it is a bit similar to Ultraviolet by Paco rabanne although not as smooth, my only issue is at times it is more woodsy/smokey than I would like..depends
it makes me think of cloudy skies..
I do like its appeal, warm scent,a bit spicy, fresh, I agree in winter it will be a scent I wear a lot!!
Virtualsound – :
This is for the unconventional, cool, calm, no-frills woman with a bit of mystery and who does things her own way. It’s a lovely, luminous scent. Fresh, floral, and slightly powdery but it’s the clean, lighter kind of powder, not the rich, heavy, exotic kind of powder. This was an impulse buy for me; one of the store assistants sprayed the perfume on my wrist, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it smelled and so ended up buying a bottle. But precisely because it isn’t a heavy scent, it lasts only about 5-6 hours (morning to early afternoon), so you’ll have to bring a small refresher amount if you plan to stay out until evening or night.
voron2104 – :
This to me is the ultimate fresh out of the shower scent. Its clean and soapy and reminds me a lot of an old-school Nivea cream from my childhood. Even though this is pour femme and they also have a pour homme in the same line, I feel men could easily get away with wearing this one also. This scent reminds me so much of my late grandfather who used to use a shaving cream from Nivea and the smell of it is very fresh in my memory still. Also, now that I think of it, reminds me of my Dove deodorant in the scent “powder”. So to sum up Kenzo indigo is indeed first and foremost powdery but also clean and fresh. I can’t really detect any plum or any of the individual notes for that matter and the sweetness of the scent also seems to escape me somehow. Despite that I find Kenzo indigo to be an overall pleasant scent that lingers and gives you a my skin but better feeling…or should I say my skin but cleaner 🙂 For me personally though, will probably not be renewed once finished.
scooterman – :
This is fresh, smooth and powdery perfection! I know, I know – there is the sense that powdery means “old lady” which is really a condescending way to refer to grown-up and classic scents that are not fruity!
I get compliments galore when I wear this. Kenzo at its best!
soy550elipseskism – :
I usually wear “jungle/elephant” but chanced on Eau Indigo and decided to buy it without ever having tested it (that’s how much I trust Kenzo perfumes!). Excellent decision. This is a fantastic perfume, very feminine and sophisticated, heavy but not excessively so, with a touch of oriental mystery. Always reminds me of a very chic Frenchwoman when I wear it. Lasts very well on me (Kenzo always does). Beautiful. A new favourite.
yax394bedyWelty – :
I love this perfume.
I started to sniff it at stores after buying Kenzo Amour which just may be my all time favourite perfume. This is a tricky perfume, does not smell very feminine in the bottle, nor at the first spray on skin. As it evolves it grows just sweet enough!!!<
I spend a fair amount of time at work pondering just how nice I smell when I have this on. This also reminds me a lot of Prada l`eau Ambree though this is a more feminine sweeter scent!
filin-2 – :
That’s weard… The perfume is described like sweet and balmy, but on my skin it is very powdery, similar to Kenzo Flower but a bit more floral…
kawern – :
I love this scent. It smells very light but not to say you won’t get any scent out of it. It smells like powder after a few minutes of spraying it. People often stop to ask me what perfume I’m using. Try it I promise you will be happy. It’s fresh and almost makes you smell like a baby.
dqp627speagoessenda – :
Past 2 years I have become a plum-fan, amber-fan and Tonkabean-fan..And this Kenzo have it in a very nice mix and package. L’eau Par Indigo is warm, sexy and a bit “dark” on my skin. Just wonderful. works both day and night, a great scent. This is my second bottle and I love it.
Under de senaste 2 åren så har jag börjat älska Plommon-not, amber och tonkaböna i parfymer och Kenzo L’eau Par Indigo har en härlig mix av dessa, och snygg flaska. En varm, sexig och lite “mörk” doft på min hud, helt enkelt underbar. Funkar både dag och natt – suverän. Min andra flaska och jag älskar den.
formidron – :
it’s an okay scent, but nothing spectacular to write about.
plt124Bessinepome – :
To me it smells like Nivea Creme with a hint of vanilla.
zartan – :
wow..monster silage!
The juice is very complex. It starts out as a floral, then develops into a spicy-herby smell, and finally settles down into a powdery-soapy smell( i think that bergamot is responsible for musky soapiness I felt..) with a hint of both spice and flowers(think shower gel with spicy accords and florals)..
It’s spicy and clean smelling at the same time. I personally wouldn’t wear it, not being a fan of musk or bergamot, but I find it fascinating and unusual.
saha0006 – :
very amber and I LIKE THAT
vold – :
it reminds me the body shop white musk. it’s not something special. I cant smell any flowers,just amber and tonka bean but it is so long lasting
rfgkfy – :
Picture on the box amazingly describes what you should await from this perfume. It feels like when the evening comes and the dark overcomes you. I really love this perfume, it´s something new, different and mysterious for me. I am so lucky that I´ve found Kenzo Indigo!
shystrui – :
This is dreamy, soft and beautiful. I feel very relaxed when I wear this. I can smell tonka bean, amber and plum, but also soft musk and vanilla even thought they are not listed. Can be worn year round day and night but I might prefer this on summer and warm fall.
rutep – :
in my indigo is exactly as I imagine that color in a sunset or a sunrise. It unfolds in a smooth, dusty, comfortable, especially this last and so creamy and balmy . A really lasting musk with soft and bright tangerine aroma (very subtle) while deep plum and flowers. Ilike it any season only you need be in the mood for Indigo 🙂
claivatty – :
I love Flower by Kenzo and was wandering in a perfumery shop to discover something “similar” (which cannot be as Flower is unique for me). Well, L’Eau Indigo is a balmy, light amber scent. I think that the plum makes it lighter. After some minutes, you can feel the discreet jasmine. I would not compare it to Flower at all, but this Indigo caught my attention. I find it to be very discreet but noticeable perfume. The kind of scent that “stays in the air”. For spring and summer, night or day… I think this will be one of my next purchase 😉
(FYI: Eau 2 from Kenzo is just great, but cannot find it on this site. Can be purchased in Europe, though. I recommend it to everyone who likes Kenzo.)
valeryko – :
Perfect for warm spring. Not either day or night, it suits the best “afternoon”.
Bugtroupt – :
I must start by saying that this perfume lasts FOREVER. It lasts and lasts ands last.. After all day at work, after a shower and in the morning next day – Its still there! Its actually pretty amazing. The perfume however, is very Kenzo, as someone mentioned. I only get a lot of tonkabean here, a powdery tonka combined with ylang ylang and a little bit plum. Put violets in this one and you’v got LouLou in your hands. I dont see any complexity in this scent, its just extreamly powdery, or powdery might not be the right word actually. Strong soap would fit better. Not in a bad way, I must say that I do like this perfume, but its not something very speciall to me since I just get A LOT of strong soap. A very long lasting soap I should add…
f2f2 – :
I bought this for my wife and we love it! You get very fleeting, almost insignificant citrusy top notes on first spray that last no more than 30 seconds, before they are overpowered by the most powdery smelling heart and basenotes I’ve ever smelt in a perfume. The powdery notes are very clean, flowery and mildly sweet – and also surprisingly potent and long lasting (it’s an EDP), smelling almost exactly like Johnson’s Baby Powder! I reckon the colour ‘baby pink’ matches the smell of the perfume far better than ‘indigo’. Anyway, its overall character is indeed very soft, tranquil and ultra-feminine, and probably exclusively for daytime use. Great-looking bottle too, especially as I have the matching Indigo male fragrance:) Delightfully charming!!
Onish – :
I’ve never tried such a mystical fragance. Very, very nice 🙂
MerryFurge66 – :
Love this fragrance. On my skin, it starts of fresh with a strong burst of mandarines and bergamot, then for a while, the tonka beans are almost overpowering and then it settles into a gorgeous mix of smoke, vanilla and amber. I imagine a beach after sunset, with the sky colored purple and the sea a blueish tone, mixing into one at the horizon, creating a burst of indigo. I can see a bonfire, a couple with their toes in the sand, appearing as an interwined shadow from a distance.
It’s worth a try, especially layered with a vanilla body spray. Just so delicious.
Alex 70 – :
it’s like incense, night & sea.. and very very Kenzo.. it’s bottle design like a sculpture.. gorgeous.
serglipetsk2010 – :
As I have found with other Kenzo fragrances there is something artificial about Indigo, but I like it anyway.
I cannot detect any citrus here at all, just the amber and plum, followed short time later by the floral and tonka bean, which should be the other way around, but no matter, its lovely the way it is.
Its early autumn here, still sunny but getting chilly and Indigo really suits this climate, or spring, but it would be overpowering in summer heat I think.
I’m not sure it has the power, or projection to be a sexy night time scent, I’ll keep it for daytime.
All in all I’m pleasantly surprised by Indigo.
dalw – :
No offense to those who love this perfume so much, but on me it smells exactly like mosquito repellents!!
Dgafar_98 – :
i choose a blind perfume. i’m looking for something new the other than floral or fruit.
first i smell i smell the bergamot, a little and just the tonka bean… (like a cigarette).. smell so different, that why the name is indigo.
unfort,it just 4/5 hours in my skin.. smell its gone.
7/10
PHILIPP – :
An extremely comforting, soothing fragrance, I put it in one line with Lacoste Femme and Bulgari Petits et Mamans – I guess baby powder calms me down the best, because this is what I smell mostly and love in 3 fumes.
But I would by no means compare it to Blv Notte, which smells like wet diaper for me and is anything but comforting… although I agree that there are SOME aspects in common (powder and cleanness, mostly), the overall result and atmosphere they induce are different.
leshiy279 – :
only had this on for about half an hour but loving it so far. i can and can’t see what others meant with their comparison to blv notte. it’s blv notte daytime *lol. it’s baby powder all the way and fortunately i bloody love that in a fragrance. blv notte is the sensual side of this; this is innocent feminity at it’s best. no fruit, just clean. love it.
vlad-gaidykov – :
I have it and I have to say I’m torn 😉
On the one hand, I like it: it’s light, delicately powdery, feminine. On the other hand, there are times when I feel something masculine in Indigo and maybe it’s the time plum comes out. I prefer Elephant when I need a masterpiece, and I prefer Indigo when I don’t want to feel too tired of Kenzo Jungle Elephant – that sometimes happens.
robin-113 – :
Me gusta esta fragancia,la siento suave,algo dulce,buena duración,deja en mi piel un aroma delicado y agradable. Creo que es mejor para épocas frías,pero en realidad puede usarse en cualquier estación del año…
xmasundel – :
I agree with Sherapop, it is very similar to Blv Notte by Bulgari…
The same sweet, dry, powdery trail, except it’s spicy, somehow even bitter.
At times, I could smell something that reminded me of L’Eau pour Homme – a sharp, sour, almost aquatic note.
I am doubtful about this fragrance. I want to like it, but its sharpness is too striking against the soft tonka bean and plum. It’s a bit bipolar!
oppoheclathon – :
Today I’ve bought this beautiful fragrance with a good discount. It is pleasant to me from beginning to end and I think this fragrance becomes my favourite because it is really beautiful, gentle, comfortable and unostentatious.
Pahtan – :
I would recommended for day wear at work . It is nice and clean smell so that for sure won’t annoying anybody. That’s way i love this purfume !!
darkness-lit – :
L’EAU PAR KENZO INDIGO POUR FEMME is a sultry oriental to my nose, especially in the early stages, when I’d swear there was incense or something along those lines here. I agree that the general atmosphere is indigo: the sky at midnight.
Upon initial application I was wondering why this was called “L’eau”, and it didn’t seem very Kenzoid to me either. However, INDIGO becomes more and more powdery as it dries down, eventually leaving behind a layer not unlike the famous FLOWER powder. I also find some overlaps here to BLV NOTTE.
I like INDIGO, and if I didn’t already own BLV NOTTE, which covers some of the same olfactory territory, I might acquire a bottle. Definitely worth sniffing for those who appreciate oriental perfumes.
LearoPayovava – :
at the first spray, I sniffed frehness, a bit thicker than original l’eau par, but then it smells powdery…just powdery. But kinda like it 🙂

This one is soo delicate, feminine, tender and innocent. It’s a bit powdery, smells almost like a baby. It’s good for any season. It’s a very soft scent BUT I can still smell it after 34 hours on my hand.

To me, the first the aroma I encounter is like refreshing zingy lemonade, then Indigo develops into a warm , sultry fragrance of slight tantalizing spices, violets (even though they are not in there)and hints of mild, sweet jasmine.
I love and adore Kenzo Jungle,(an aquired scent) but I am not a fan of the original L’Eau Par Kenzo (which is far too flowery for my loving) as I enjoy mystery, exotic and sensual aromas for day and evening.
Indigo is like a little slice of delicious sublime heaven to me. I had it arrive today,and I am in love with it. I will buy many more bottles, so I not run out of it… xox 🙂

I was expecting and hoping for something mysterious, and sensual when I saw this bottle on the shelf. What I found on my skin was not pleasant. I personally can’t pick out any of the listed notes. At first spray it smelled like a powdery rose, and then it turned and I was left with a sort of menthol foot powder smell. Not my cup of tea.

Testing this one today… nice siliage, not too little, not too much. Haven’t figured out if I like the frag yet. Its drydown is very powdery,very violety (although that’s not listed as a note) which I usually associate with an “old lady scent”– like a drawer sachet. As others have said, nothing like the L’ Eau par Kenzo. I think that this could be worn day or night.

Indigo is silent, sleeping beauty. And indeed, reminiscent on indigo color. There might be several reasons for that; the plum, the ink texture of the notes, the cozy state this brings me to. Purple and soothing like lavender. Only not smelling like lavender. I couldn’t guess the notes, and from those listed here, I can assure you no bergamot came to my nose.
Indigo is, as someone mentioned, abstract perfume. It includes smooth white linen, dusty facial powder, silky body oil, resins of peace and comfort. To me it is much alike Givenchy Ange ou Demon Tendre. Find it perfect for spring, has nice quality and lasts for several hours. Recommend it!

It reminds “Kenzo”, but I m
