NEST New York Indigo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Indigo opens with Bergamot and Fig, settles into a heart of Cardamom and Tea, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood. NEST New York's Indigo carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent; a divisive blend of jammy fig and a potent tea accord that some find wonderfully unique and others, sadly, totally unwearable. Don't blind buy.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Indigo opens with a punchy, almost jam-like fig softened by bright bergamot, leading into a distinctive black tea heart. This tea note, often described as Earl Grey with a cool, minty edge, is spiced elegantly with cardamom before settling into a warm, woody cashmere base. It evokes a fresh, clean, yet oddly melancholic garden after rain, with lingering sweetness and an elusive depth.
