A Lush Oasis of Jasmine and Earthy Delights
Indolis by Areej Le Dore

Indolis is a masterful blend of notes that transports the wearer to a vibrant garden, teeming with life and scent. This exquisite perfume is a testament to the art of perfumery, showcasing the beauty of jasmine and earthy mossy notes in perfect harmony.

The opening is a symphony of gardenia, Indonesian jasmine, and jasmine absolute, their floral essence bursting forth like a sunrise in the tropics. The ginger, lime, and pineapple add a fresh, spicy nuance, like the warmth of sunbeams on skin. The Omani frankincense and tangerine bring a resinous, citrusy depth, evoking the ancient traditions of sacred rituals.

As the fragrance unfolds, the oakmoss and benzoin emerge, their earthy, mossy essence conjuring the mystery of a forest glade. The Australian sandalwood and Chinese green tea add a woody, herbal nuance, like the tranquility of a hidden oasis. The Indian galbanum and Indonesian sandalwood bring a pungent, earthy quality, like the richness of the soil. The lavender absolute and tonka bean absolute add a soft, creamy depth, like the gentle caress of a summer breeze.

Indolis shatters the mold of traditional perfumery, pushing the boundaries of scent and sensation. With each application (tried a sample years before), Indolis unfolds like a puzzle, revealing hidden facets and surprising nuances that tantalize and delight.

Its allure is both captivating and enchanting, like a siren's call that beckons the wearer to surrender to its charms. The fragrance conjures a sense of mystery and intrigue, like an ancient artifact holding secrets and stories that only reveal themselves to those who dare to venture into the realm beyond the ordinary.

This fragrance is a testament to the transformative power of scent, capable of awakening new sensations, emotions, and experiences that linger long after the fragrance fades.

The Delicate Side of Russian Adam
Indolis from Areej le Dore is a most peculiar white floral perfume in which Jasmine rules supreme.
I did not expect something like this from Russian Adam. It hardly smells like anything from the house, in style and aesthetic. Reading reviews, I expected a big, verdant jasmine perfume, loud and proud and maybe too monolithic for it to stand out for me. Smelling it from the nozzle, you'd also be inclined to think that. However, once you put it on the skin, everything you had expected it to be crumbles at your feet. Had I smelled it blind, I would have never guessed this to be an ALD perfume.

Calling it a green-floral perfume is an understatement. Its complexity reaches far beyond that. It's not just the way it was built, but the materials used that play a pivotal role in its outcome. It feels like a work that took many years to finally come together as it has, searching for the right materials to add and the perfect balance to reach. A titanic quest.

The opening is far from what you'd expect. To me, it almost feels like a fougere, with a jasmine backdrop. The first stage is the busiest, liveliest, like some big Asian cities at rush hour where everyone runs (more like rides) for their lives. A piercing bitter green galbanum note cleverly offset by a sweet and aromatic lavender note and tart green tea balanced by juicy and natural-smelling pineapple and tangerine. At this point, the jasmine waves at you somewhere in the background, gently winking whenever it catches your gaze. I love the opening of Indolis. It's so full of joy, unique, and cleverly put together.
In the heart, this buzz from the opening starts to cool down, allowing the jasmine to reveal its full splendor. The jasmine here smells unlike any other. It is not big and assertive, indolic, or headache-inducing. It is delicate, milky-sweet, with a narcotic yet faint aroma. I assume the way it was extracted played a significant role. It's so delicate that if you gasp, you might miss it.
In the dry down, there's no musk, ambergris, or agarwood, as you'd probably expect. Instead, a creamy, plush, soothing sandalwood that complements the jasmine and marries it seamlessly. Gentle olibanum smoke might be perceived at times, yet it is so soft that it is barely worth mentioning.

To call Indolis a floral perfume is difficult. It's too much of an oversimplification. It's a delicate Oriental perfume that makes use of the prettiest jasmine I've smelled in an olfactory composition. I can see why many die-hard ALD fans would find this boring, and also, how few understand its genius. It is not among my favorite compositions from the house, yet I feel it is one of the most special. I know Russian Adam puts his heart in all of his perfumes. Here, it feels like he poured his entire soul.

old school
It's such a different smell. It's certainly not common. The beginning is distinctly green, almost overwhelming - evoking a botanical greenhouse, a jungle - then it develops into soapy jasmine, with a whiff of lavender with a bit of incense in the distance. The whole thing is said to be processed in a technique that is not common - it has been used throughout history. A very small number of these bottles were produced. The scent smells old school - but that's a nice change :). Most importantly - it's Russian Adam and he's not friends with synthetics - that's a big added value. Thanks Adam
