Indaco

Indaco from L'Erbolario is a deeply layered, unisex oriental gourmand with a bold and distinctive character. It begins with a fleeting, slightly pungent citrus and aromatic opening that quickly fades into warm, powdery cacao and vanilla, softened by vetiver and tonka bean. The dry down reveals a complex interplay of bitter green patchouli, earthy vetiver, and balsamic amber, creating a rich, slightly medicinal sweetness that lingers on skin and clothing for a full day. The fragrance is not sweet or fluffy—instead, it feels substantial, introspective, and mysterious, with an unexpected depth that unfolds slowly. It is best worn in winter or during cold autumn evenings, where its quiet sillage and durability shine. While some find the opening strange or metallic, the core of the fragrance is consistently praised as addictive and distinctive, especially for lovers of deep, non-conventional perfumes. Its powdery bitterness, green patchouli, and gourmand balsamic base give it a unique depth not found in mass-market gourmands.
