The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Ormonde Jayne and crafted by perfumer Linda Pilkington, Indus is an intricate blend of fruity and floral accords with a rich musky base. The fragrance opens with the bright freshness of litchi and black currant blossom, complemented by the warmth of nutmeg. This leads into a heart of rose and plum, before settling into a sensual base of Chinese patchouli, incense, and musk. Indus captures the essence of an exotic journey, blending sweet and spicy notes with earthy undertones.
Indus has a rich, long-lasting base that blooms over time. Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience throughout the day. The fragrance works best close to skin rather than diffusing into a room.
