Indus
by Ormonde Jayne
Indus is a delicate yet complex fruity rose fragrance with a bright, fresh opening dominated by lychee and blackcurrant, leading into a soft, floral rose heart enriched with subtle nutmeg and incense. The dry down reveals a warm, textured base of musk, plum, and patchouli, giving it depth without heaviness. The scent evolves with clarity and nuance—rather than overwhelming—the flower notes remain light, airy, and refreshing, with a distinct mineral and slightly aqueous quality reminiscent of Diptyque Eau Capitale. Notes of incense, warm spice, and plum add dimension, creating a scent that feels both intimate and elevated. It has a soft sillage and performs exceptionally well over time, lasting well beyond typical expectations for a floral-fruity composition.
