The perfect tobacco, smoky, cigar scented !
This is my first review here and I dedicate it to this wonderful fragrance!
Below is my initial impression of the perfume when I acquired it a year and a half ago.
The change in feeling now is that I no longer have any problems with the second phase :). 10/10
I've been searching for the perfect tobacco, smoky, cigar scented perfume for over a year now, and I can say I've finally found it in the form of Ombre Indigo, which was the usual "blind" buy. It turned out to be a total hit right on target. This is such a tripolar scent (The Beauty - The Devil - The Beast) that the label "unique" fits in its full meaning.
This unbridled wild beast opens in an amazing way (perhaps the most beautiful phase - The Beauty) which lasts 2-3 hours and the first 30 minutes are divine. Fresh, slightly sweet with a hint of bewitching appeal. I can't distinguish any single ingredient, everything is woven together in a great way and very balanced.
Phase 2 is I don't know how to say it in the most diplomatic way - I wanted to peel the skin off my hand (the worst moments of the whole palette that the perfume owns - The Devil) which lasts for another 3 maybe 4 hours. Very resinous, smoky, heavy, it hit me at one point. Here, "The Three Musketeers" - leather, olibanum and vetiver come to the fore, their combination erupted like lava from a long-dormant volcano in a very merciless way for my taste.
After all that ordeal I went through, from the "caressing on the back" to the "stroke with wet rag on the face" came that cigarette tobacco I had been searching for months. The smell is when the tip of the cigarette/cigar is lit up by the burning tobacco at the moment of pulling from the cigar. At the same time, there is such a tart moderate sweetness that makes this so unique - The Beast!
For about 10 minutes, I literally did not take my hand off my nose while inhaling deeply from this blue elixir. There is no tobacco anywhere in the pyramid. Here the combination of plum, saffron, papyrus and tuberose are so wrapped in each other and recreate 100% what I described in the last dry phase of the perfume. I can't wait to wear it longer, but I'll have to wait a few months for it to cool down again to enjoy it longer. Not that it can't be applied on cool summer evenings, but you have to be careful with the sprayer.
And finally, projection (5-6 hours you are like a cloud) and durability (over 12 hours, even more, but after that it becomes a skin scent) at the top level, and my rating is 9/10. If it weren't for those difficult 3-4 hours of the middle phase, I would have given it a well-deserved 10.
