Olfactive Studio Ombre Indigo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Mylène Alran. Ombre Indigo opens with Petitgrain, Tuberose, Saffron, and Plum, settles into a heart of Papyrus, Leather, Vetiver, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Benzoin, and Ambergris. Olfactive Studio's Ombre Indigo carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

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.

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.

This is a strong, distinctive fragrance best suited for evening or cooler weather wear. Its bold sillage and unique character make it a standout for dates and special occasions, though it's a bit much for the office. Some reviewers noted its versatility across seasons, but it seems to shine outside of casual, everyday settings.

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

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

Opens with a dark, juicy plum and a hint of exotic saffron, quickly giving way to a rich, animalic leather accord. The heart reveals smoky frankincense and earthy papyrus, grounded by vetiver. The drydown is a warm embrace of ambergris and benzoin, with a musky depth that lingers on the skin.
