Indigo – Extrait de Parfum

Andrea Maack – Icelandic niche perfumery from the visual artist of the same name, who has been bringing art, fashion and fragrance together since her first scent exhibition in 2010.

Indigo is urban, powdery and relaxed – a perfectly worn-in pair of jeans. A custom denim accord and asphalt open rough and mineral, lavender and iris give the heart an elegant, powdery softness, before creamy sandalwood and musk settle into a warm, skin-close base.

Indigo works all year, by day and by night – in the city, at the weekend, with anything you love to wear. Gender-neutral and an easy-going signature scent with character.

Turning a fabric into a fragrance is hard – turning denim into one without smelling of detergent is harder still. Céline Barel pulls it off with a custom denim accord and a touch of asphalt, and lavender and iris make it something you simply wear all the time, like your favourite piece.
