About This Perfume
Indigo by Nest is a Aromatic Spicy fragrance for women and men. Indigo was launched in 2014. Top notes are Fig and Bergamot; middle notes are Tea and Cardamom; base note is Cashmere Wood. To complement its Paradise edition, presented in 2014, the house of Nest presents another fragrant creation designed exclusively for Sephora. The scent is named Indigo and, just like the rest of the Nest collection, it is inspired by works of Mary Delany, who was a British artist of the 18th century, famous for her exquisitely detailed paper-cut mosaics of plants and flowers. Mary first began to create cut-out paper artworks in the decoupage technique, to create detailed depictions of plants. She later perfected her technique using tissue paper and hand coloration. Each of the fragrances of the Nest collection is decorated with artworks selected by Laura Slatkin, the creator of the Nest Fine Fragrance collection, reinterpreted by Russian artist Alexander Solodukho. Indigo offers an opulent composition that starts with fresh notes of bergamot, blending citrus freshness with aromatic nuances of wild figs. The new edition is characterized by its distinctive chords of Moroccan tea, warm cashmere wood, and spicy cardamom. The fragrance is available as 50 ml Eau de Parfum, and as a 10 ml rollerball edition.
