Escale en Indonésie Les Indémodables 2020

Escape en Indonésia is utterly pleasant fresh scent without any sharp or harsh nuances. I'm not a fan of citrus scents but I have always been enjoying to wear this one. It's so so soft, not crispy and rather comforting than energising which is rare if we are talking about the citrus category. Neroli and Jasmine are pretty yet gender neutral. I don't think this leans into green but it stays bright with beautiful salty and sensual touch from Ambergris. It's not animalic in any kind of way, it just makes this citrus scent more than just a fresh citrus perfume. Sandalwood helps to keep the aroma smooth and silky but it never gets thick nor creamy. I'm wondering why women haven't found this scent since there is nothing masculine nor feminine character in this one, it's totally neutral. Escape en Indonésia is absolutely a great choice to wear in hot temperatures but it doesn't feel unsuitable for colder weather either, it's great office scent as well. It doesn't last all the day and a sillage is minimal but I don't see that it's a problem in this kind of perfume. You can easily overspray it, bath in it and you get a gentle veil over you and it's like your second skin.

It gives me a lot of motivation to write more.

Escale en Indonésie is the second fragrance from Les Indémodables that I've tried, and this house is knocking it out of the park so far. Both Ambre Suprême and Escale en Indonésie incorporate beautiful natural ambergris. Escale en Indonésie is a manly fresh summer scent, opening with dark pungent citrus and something herbal and spicy beneath. These continue through the drydown, while a soapy sandalwood and a wonderful brisk, intimate ambergris emerge. This is an extraordinary fragrance but too masculine and verging on culinary for me.

Exquisite modern take on a cologne! It has a jolly vibe to it. You wear this and everyone around you loves you for it. You'd have to be a fool to be annoyed by this. Truly. You'd have to be a complete killjoy. Lemon, lemon and guess what? Some more lemon. There is an interesting ever so slight sweetness to this lemon and I'm not sure where it's coming from but it is a natural sweetness. White flowers and sandalwood. And of course the mysterious ambergris, the ambergris I assume is really what takes this to the next level. It takes the lemon and paints it in the happiest yellow tone, it gives it life and freshness as if it were never plucked! The more fragrances I test the more I love this kind of cologne. It's simply something that I'd never get tired of. And most of the time the fragrances that you'd never get tired of are incredibly... Well, boring smelling. You put them on and you forget about it. Not this. This is super fun and super safe. Office safe? Absolutely. I imagine this on the kind of person that always smiles from ear to ear, wears colorful clothing and doesn't have a care in the world! Man or woman, young or old, this fits like a glove as long as you have a smile on your face. Smile more people and have a great day.

Parto col dire che ho avuto conferma diretta dal brand che usano Vera ambra grigia in tintura al 5%, certo una quantità che potrebbe sembrare irrisoria ma fa il suo lavoro fidatevi. Il bergamotto fa da padrone in questa fragranza, colonia freschissima che sa d’estate! Da un effetto rinvigorente nelle torride giornate estive che trovo un toccasana post doccia. Seppur su pelle la tenuta non è altissima sui tessuti vi sorprenderà ! Dura oltre le 8 ore ( sui tessuti ). Un mio mai senza.

Personal Notes: Opens with bright, sharp bergamot. Fresh, fresh, and more fresh. There's a hint of saltiness from the ambergris and some lemon rind. Super safe office scent, nothing unique or inoffensive. The problem then? Sillage, projection, and longevity aren't there for me. This is similar to Escale en Haiti in that regard. I had to press my nose onto skin to get anything after around 1 hour or so.

Rating: 6 - A borderline "like". If it had a couple more problems I would actively dislike it, but it's tolerable.

Who it's for: Unisex, anyone can wear this. If they want to smell good for a short time.

Value for full bottle: Absolutely not. You're paying for a ghost.
