Arquiste Indigo Smoke is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Calice Becker. Indigo Smoke opens with Lapsang Souchong Tea, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Vetiver, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Cassia, Guaiac Wood, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Mate, Cedar Leaf, Birch Tar, and Incense. Arquiste's Indigo Smoke carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a wildcard. While some find Indigo Smoke a masterful blend of smoky tea and jammy apricot, others get pure BBQ sauce or even bug spray. It's a bold, artistic take on tea scents - definitely not a safe blind buy, but unforgettable if it clicks.

Its bold, smoky opening and substantial sillage make it a bit much for the office if applied heavily, but it calms nicely for casual wear. The unique blend of smoky tea and fruit makes it particularly compelling for dates or cooler evening events, though it might be too avant-garde for traditional formal settings.

About

Indigo Smoke opens with a potent, almost challenging blast of smoky Lapsang Souchong tea, quickly joined by bright bergamot and mandarin. As the initial intensity mellows, a juicy apricot note emerges, sweetened by subtle cassia, while guaiac wood and vetiver add an earthy depth. The dry down settles into a complex, lingering trail of birch tar, incense, and mate, creating a unique balance of smoke, fruit, and woody spice.
