Hello everyone ♥
Today I am going
to do a full review on one of the newest perfumes on the worldwide market – Katy
Perry’s INDI EDP. Although I may not be Katy’s biggest fan I quite like
her fragrances, I’ve tried them all and I’ve liked all of them – some better
than others, but I’ve liked all of them in general. By the moment I haven’t try
a fragrance by Katy that got under my skin so much to make me buy it. I have a
review on the perfume Meow by Katy here
(and I’m still wondering if I
should buy it. Hmmm…)
INDI
totally differs from the
rest of Katy Perry’s fragrances. INDI is the scents of Katy’s new “Me” – grown up and
mature. Her previous fragrances (like the mentioned
Meow,
Purr, Royal Revolution, Mad
Love, etc) are
on the sweet-floral side and have detectable fruity notes, INDI is completely
different scent: pure, clean, creamy, sophisticated, “office-like” scent.
History:
Katy Perry’s
INDI is launched in the late summer of 2017. INDI contains
musk cocktail and differs a lot from the previous scents that Katy has made.
INDI contains 11 types of
musk, plum, amber and vanilla. “INDI
isn’t announced as unisex fragrance, but it can be worn by anyone” says Perry.
„That’s why I wanted to create
group of women that look different so that the public can relate & identify
with them.“
Description:
Top notes:
white tea,
plum,
bergamot
Middle notes:
cyclamen,
Lilly-of-the-valley,
white cedar
Base notes:
amber,
tonka bean,
different types of musk
(standard,
white,
black,
Egyptian,
island)
Development on my skin:
Right after
spraying on the skin INDI is quite sharp, smells quite heavy and retro on white
flowers and it has that general “old school” vibe, thanks to the combination
Lilly-of-the-valley and bergamot which add that sharp feeling. Sharp beginning
fades away quick and the scent becomes softer and “rounder” – it gets milder,
creamier and fresher. My nose detects noticeably white tea
(favorite note

) and plum, with white cedar
suspicion and a tiny bit of cyclamen that adds floral accord and a
looooooooooooooooot of musk. A lot! Lately I can’t stand musk due to the fact it
gives me soapy and sharp feeling in perfumes, but here, surprisingly, the
combination of different sorts musk doesn’t make the scent barber sharp –
simply clean. My nose doesn’t detect Tonka bean and amber at all.
I would
categorize INDI as linear type of perfume – after the sharp beginning the scent
gets milder and softer and I feel a lot of musk and white tea, light white
cedar suspicion and a tiny cyclamen accord. INDI
smells clean but not a soap/shower gel/washing powder – INDI smell like soft cleanness, like creamy white flowers, like body powder, like
fragrant white tea drank in a sunny morning. INDI is light, cozy, creamy, airy,
pure and sits close to the skin. If you like musk and soft perfumes in general you
might like this one.
INDI
is not an intensive or
strong perfume – people won’t notice it when you walk past them, it doesn’t
have intensive trail and it sits close to the skin. It’s perfect to wear in
office, because it doesn’t get into the peoples elbow room. People that like
light, airy and soft perfumes might enjoy this one.
INDI, as most of
the perfumes that have detectable musk notes
develops best on cool and humid weather (up to 20 degrees Celsius) in
hot and dry weather musk irritates me because it gives me dry and soapy feeling
on my skin. I would describe INDI as neutral and safe scent – easy to pull off
and suitable to wear during the whole year, any time, at any occasion and
situation due to the fact it has soft trail and only you can feel it in your
elbow room.
INDI
reminds me in general of
White Tea EDP by Elizabeth Arden, which was launched in the spring of 2017:
both fragrances smell sophisticated and pure, on white tea and musk, fine,
elegant and unostentatious, but they are not identical.
I was thinking about buying
30ml bottle of White Tea EDP but INDI completely satisfies my lust for light
and cozy white tea scent to put in the mornings whenever I don’t know what to
wear but I want to wear something pure, clean, unostentatious.
Is it unisex? On
my opinion – no. Somehow I can’t imagine a man smelling like musk, white tea
& white flowers, but this is me :)
Packaging:
Simple rectangular glass bottle in the classic combination black &
white with golden accents. It definitely looks super stylish and matches the
scent inside. Compared to the rest celebrity fragrances I’ve tried this one it
the prettiest I’ve seen and it looks good next to the rest of my designer
brands perfumes in my collection. The bottle is made from thick glass, it’s
stable and I can’t imagine it being scratched. It’s suitable to wear in your
handbag to reapply it during the day (I personally never carry my fragrance
with me to reapply it) or when travelling.
Storage:
INDI is
available in 30ml and 50ml bottles.
Season appropriate:
As I mentioned
upon I would describe INDI as universal and safe fragrance, suitable to wear
during the whole year. Only in dry and hot weather the musk irritates my nose
but in the rest of the time I enjoy it. I pick INDI whenever I want to smell
clean, pure, unpretentious, whenever I can’t choose which perfume to wear but
at the same time I go for a close-to-the-skin perfume, a perfume I can feel
only whenever I want to feel it and that means a perfume that has basically any
trail. Days like this come every now and
then :)
Time appropriate:
On my
opinion INDI
is definitely a daytime
scent.
Longevity:
Medium – around
6hrs with 5-6 spritzes. It fades away gradually after spraying in the morning
and in the afternoon is barely detectable.
INDI
for me is “white” scent –
light, diurnal, soft, pure, clean but feminine at the same time. INDI has no
chances to be my new signature scent but it’s perfect for the days whenever I
want to smell pure. The 30ml bottle
is perfect amount for me to satisfy my crave for a long time – literally I want
to smell pure like once a month (rest of the time I wear non-stop my favorite
sweet-woody-licorice-ysh perfumes).
INDI is
definitely not a typical celebrity scent – it’s classy and sophisticated: I
can’t imagine a teenager wearing it, most likely a women in their 20+ would
enjoy it.
Did you gave Katy
Perry’s INDI a try and what are your thoughts?
