The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, Encre Indigo by Lalique is a fragrance that balances freshness and depth with its aromatic and woody accords. Created by Annick Ménardo, the composition opens with juniper berry, pink pepper, and bergamot to create an invigorating freshness. This gives way to the warmth of black tea, saffron, and bay leaf, before settling into a base of Madagascar vetiver, patchouli, and ambergris that reads as earthy and slightly metallic. The result is a scent that captures both the crispness of nature and the sophistication of its French heritage.
Apply Encre Indigo to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The fresh top notes are vibrant but fade within two hours, while the base notes provide a warm presence that lingers throughout the day.
