Indigo
Nest (2014)

I asked a female friend to choose her top two favorite scents from Sephora, and she picked Versace Eros and Nest Indigo. While her tastes may have changed since then, I still think her choices hold some value. I'm not sure how well Indigo sells in comparison to Nest's other fragrances, but I believe it's my favorite from the brand. Although it leans slightly feminine, I think a confident man can still pull it off. I don't think anyone would be offended by the fig or tea notes. It's interesting to note that fig notes usually make me feel nauseated, but this fragrance doesn't have that effect.

I haven't tested Indigo enough to comment on its performance, but from what I recall, it has moderate longevity. While I haven't purchased a full bottle yet, I think I will do so one day when I have extra funds.

While this fragrance may not impress fragrance enthusiasts, the combination of fruity and green elements makes it highly appealing to the masses and a great choice for compliments. If you were wearing this fragrance, I would definitely want to be your friend.

As others have said, this is a boring, average, run-of-the-mill "mall store" type fragrance. Initially hits my nose with a load of something sweet, almost jammy. Someone mentioned "plum'" which fits. Not so sure what that burst of gummy sweetness is but I find it a bit harsh. Then, this fragrance quickly dries down to tea, tea and nothing but tea with the occasional sickly sweet scent of candied fig (I suppose) and woods. Reminds me of Glad Cashmere Woods Air Freshener. That's what I'm using this for...freshening up my bathroom air. Not good at all but I can see it appealing to the masses.

Pleasant, with a touch of juiciness--but unremarkable. I used this as my "emergency perfume" for a while, carrying it in my toiletry bag while traveling. I like it, but if my miniature bottle got lost, I wouldn't be heartbroken.

I really liked the unisex clean smell of this. I'll have to try it again but it was simple and clean.

I can definitely smell the woodiness, and the tea. It has a sort of dark and cool characteristic (almost metallic, but not in a chemical way?).

I can pick up the fig note, though just barely. The word that came to mind for me was plum.

I agree with other reviewers that it feels a tad too sweet. I don't dislike this, but it's not a favorite.

The tea note stands out immediately. Then the bergamot, cardamom, and wood notes come in to play. For me, the fig is barely there. It is a somewhat spicy, dainty wood scent that could easily be worn in summer months. Not a terrible perfume; just not overwhelmingly different or special in any way.

Okay. Here is some fig. It takes awhile to show itself to me...
