Can't endorse owning
Buy this secondhand if you can; Nest is owned by a member of Autism Speaks' board of directors, and as an autistic individual I cannot in good conscience support this company monetarily due to their treatment of autism like it's a terminal illness. I am a person with a disability, not someone in need of a "cure". If you're gonna buy Nest do it secondhand, and if you're looking for something that smells like it try Blackberry and Bay by Jo Malone.

Nice. Boring.
This perfume smells nice. What else is there to say? I could not be more bored by the fruity sweet composition of figs and the (unlisted) blackberry. Yes, there is some kind of woody musk, but it smells like a BILLION other perfumes out there. "Nothing to say" is the worst compliment any perfume can receive in my mind.

Purchased on a whim, now it's an everyday favorite.
I grabbed this some months ago while on a trip and was immediately drawn to Sephora describing it as a "cool spicy" scent. I'm drawn to spicy scents in general, but warm spice fragrances often disappoint me -- too deeply sweet, too overwhelming, too warm.

Indigo is not any of the above. It starts out sharp on application, almost like taking in a deep breath of cold air, as the bergamot very easily takes the lead with the the cardamom not far behind. The dry-down comes quickly after, where the fresh green tea notes settle in, and where the sweetness of the fig rounds down some of the initial sharpness without extinguishing it completely, and without the scent becoming overly sweet itself. The balance held between the sweet green and sharp spice keeps bringing me back to this perfume. I just love it, plain and simple. It lasts on clothes forever, too; on skin, it fades completely after about six hours of wear.

almost magic
Got a travel-sized vial and used it until it was bone dry, but I don’t think I’ll be planning on a repurchase. Indigo has great potential. Sticky figs, bergamot oil, inky black tea, cassis compote. A darker, jammier Dear Polly... but it's spoiled by this sinus-stinging spice. It’s some lab-grown cardamom, the Epcot idea of a souk, which cheapens the overall mystique, like a synth solo in the middle of a symphony orchestra. I don't want to use the c-word, but I will. Indigo is cloying. Which is a real shame, for she otherwise might have been signature-tier for me.

Mental Snapshot: A psychic savant, by the name of Miss Indigo. A true modern Cassandra, the Oracle Herself, voice of the divines. Tarot, palm-reading, tea leaves. Unfortunately, she can only be found on daytime television in a purple sequin jumpsuit, predicting celebrity breakups.

tl;dr: a Yankee Candle called something like "Midnight in Alhambra"

Spicy citrus and green tea that transforms into a fruity green tea scent!
I wasn't sure I'd appreciate this perfume since I do not usually enter spicy territory (I find this accord more befitting to a man than a woman, but that's my personal opinion). I was still curious to test it out since it came in a discovery set with two other NEST perfumes.

At the start, I could feel a very spicy accord with something that reminded me of cough syrup: there was this sharp medicinal undertone. When the perfume settles down on my skin after about 30 minutes, I got this sharp citrus coming from the bergamot and the lemon. There was also a fresh, green herbaceous mix in there (the morrocan tea note). I couldn't really smell any fig in there because the citrus sting and the tea notes were too strong. After about an hour and a half, the medicinal sting goes away and I'm greeted by this lovely delicate fruity tea scent. I could smell a non-descript fruity scent that paired with a nice cup of green tea. The spicyness receded in the background (even though it was still there).

I will not be keeping it in my collection because the first few hours or so are not my favorite and I find it leans masculine, but after the two hour mark it becomes a nice delicate, but fragrant, fruity green tea that leans more neutral. It's certainly not a blind-buy and wasn't a love at first sight (although it ended up growing on me a little bit).

Fruity tea that dries a little spicy. Makes me think of spiced, fig jam and black tea. Just wish it lasted a little longer. I get 5-6 hrs.

Jammy fig, syrupy blackberry or cassis. Sadly I don't get much tea from this – no earthiness or spice to cut through the sticky sweetness.

Gorgeous rich fruity tea scent, surprisingly elegant, but not too fussy. Excellent in warm and cool weather.

Turns really jammy the longer you wear it. A little too synthetic and syrupy sweet for me.

Smelled without having any idea of the notes and I swear it smells like freshly picked warm blackberries. Huge sillage.

Cozy yet intriguing. Playful yet sophisticated. This is a perfume for book lovers, crystal enthusiasts, and people who wear maxi skirts.

This perfume starts out with a juicy citrus and fig, then dries down to a gorgeous woody black tea. It is a very comforting scent.

It begins as a spicy masculine-leaning smell. It then dries down to a nice neutral fruity tea scent. It wasn't love at first sniff though.
