Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it too prominent for most office settings, though some find it office-appropriate if lightly applied. The complex, warm, and somewhat dark profile makes it ideal for dates and evening wear, while its unique character offers a sophisticated twist for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Indaco opens with a fleeting burst of bright citrus and red berries, quickly giving way to a rich, complex heart. Cedar and violet blend with a hint of geranium and rose, creating a sophisticated floral woodiness. The real magic unfolds in the base, where a prominent, often bitter cacao pod note meets creamy vanilla and tonka, grounded by earthy patchouli and vetiver, all enveloped in a clean, powdery musk and warm amber.
