Ombre Indigo

Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued Guerlain masterpiece divides opinion like few others. It's either an intoxicating, complex amber-leather dream or a synthetic scrubber. The love for it is intense; the hate, equally so. Proceed with caution and definitely sample first, if you can even find it.
Ombre Indigo is a divisive beast: a unique, bold, leathery plum incense that some find mesmerising and others can't stand. Don't blind buy this. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, definitely not for the faint of heart.
