Mr. Burberry Indigo
Burberry (2018)

Mr. Burberry Indigo is a herbal, green, slightly earthy but mainly minty fragrance, like picking mint leaves from the garden. Some light lemon and a bit of violet come through too. Overall it's rather pleasant, though with quite average performance. Nothing to get overly excited about, perhaps, but a good choice if you can get it at a decent price, and likely to have broad appeal.

I am very surprised no one mentioned that this smells like a more fresher Aqua Di Gio. I enjoy this right between spring and summer. Last about 6 hours and projects good for the first hour. Not groundbreaking but it isn't bad either.

I used to peel open the sticky flaps on fragrance ads in men's fashion magazines to see what the frags smelled like. Inevitably, they all smelled the same, so I came to think of that scent as the smell of paper.

Mr. Burberry Indigo smells like paper. There's nothing particularly wrong or right about it. It's just as generic as a light blue horizontal stripe on a white background. Within that narrow blue band, MBI is amongst the more pleasant, though not quite as distinctive as, say, Bleu de Chanel. Chiefly, it avoids the pitfall of aromachemical aggression, which allows one to appreciate the modest charms of the genre. The spearmint is a nice touch, even if it vaguely recalls commercial bathroom cleaning products.

Perfectly fine if you don't mind smelling like magazine pages.

My enjoyment of
Bleu de Mr. Burberry
Cannot be denied

Un acuático
Yet Green's herbal character
Is largely retained

Somebody rained on
A vegetated beach near
That parched green pillar

And we're all happy
That dear Aussiewood is now
Driftwood memories

Easy on the cream
A bit less powdered flowers
And just a touch of

Salty ocean spray
Condensing on iced latte
At Café Francis

Talking to myself
Smelling good my only job
Not sure about this.

Herbal

This to me goes on as an herbal fragrance. You can tell that this is a Kirkdjian, in that he does a good job blending in with clean overtones in his frags. He's great at balancing. This even smells competent through the openings and mid. In the base it falls apart and smells like a weaker version of D&G K EDT. This can actually be seen as a plus for this, because the basenotes of that one do not smell bad, but they are overpowered to the point of jarring. So this would be something that would be a better version of that there, and then it just smells better than that one in the opening and mid. All in all I could have gone up here, though there is just something about that last transition that just sticks in my craw, so Im going with a neutral. Really though, good for Burberry. I think this is pretty well done for the price. I can see people being very happy with this one. You will smell much more grown up that with the sweet nothings.

Mint and violet leaves combined with a decent, yet garden variety blue fragrance. It's actually pretty distinguished in what would otherwise be an uninteresting genre for me. I agree with other reviews that the mint and violet are what gives Indigo it's creativity, combining dark and light notes in an ethereal way. A good buy at less than $50.
