Which Should You Buy?
Katy Perry's Indi is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a surprisingly nuanced celebrity scent that punches above its weight. Some rave about its cozy, musky warmth, others are left questioning if they actually hate musk after all. Definitely not for everyone, but a hidden gem for those it suits.
A superb dupe that hits almost every note of its pricier inspiration. Sure, there's a fleeting 'plastic bubblegum' note early on, but it quickly settles into a sophisticated, addictive vanilla musk. Not for everyone, but if you love the original, you'll adore this.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and soft, comforting profile make it ideal for casual wear, bedtime, or the office where an inoffensive scent is preferred. The limited projection means it won't overpower, though some find it too faint to make an impact on a date or formal event.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With strong projection and decent longevity, this isn't an office slouch. It shines brightest on dates and formal evenings, but its addictive nature makes it surprisingly versatile for casual wear in cooler weather.
