Katy Perry's Indi

Katy Perry's Indi, released in 2017, is a soft, skin-like musk for women. Everyone who describes it calls it musky, a good share add gourmand, and only a minority mention green, woody, floral or citrus, so the musk is clearly the point.

It opens lightly, with white tea giving a clean, slightly dry freshness, bergamot a touch of citrus and plum a soft, ripe sweetness. The heart is airy and understated: cyclamen and lily of the valley are watery, green florals, and white cedar extract adds a faint, dry woodiness. The base is a blend of several musks, white, black, Egyptian and a so-called island musk, which together give a warm, clean, slightly powdery closeness, with tonka bean and amber adding a gentle sweetness and glow.

Most people find the longevity moderate, with a fifth calling it weak, and sillage is intimate for the majority, so it stays very close. It is voted for autumn and spring and mostly for daytime, making it a quiet, personal scent for someone who likes clean musks.
