All about this fragrance
Vibe check
As conversation slows into the evening, Ombre Indigo brings a composed, slightly inward presence. Dry incense and leather set a serious tone, while sweet tuberose softens the edges—a scent for close exchanges rather than a bright entrance.
How to wear
The woody incense and benzoin profile lends itself to cooler weather, when its resinous warmth can feel especially comfortable. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the dry petitgrain opening to settle into floral softness and leather. In warm or enclosed surroundings, keep application light.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to smoky woods and leather who still want floral softness within the composition. It suits a taste for contrasts—dry petitgrain against sweet tuberose, incense against benzoin—rather than straightforward freshness or an overtly sweet floral.

The nose
Mylène Alran created Ombre Indigo while working at Robertet. Her interpretation of Gustavo Pellizzon’s photograph builds on contrasts: luminous tuberose against smoky incense, dry woods against rounded resins. The composition gives its shadow-inspired concept both texture and warmth.
Collaborators
Founder Céline Verleure shaped the creative approach by giving Alran a photograph rather than a conventional fragrance brief. Brazilian photographer Gustavo Pellizzon supplied the visual inspiration through an image from his Encanto series, which became the starting point for the scent.
Olfactive Studio’s story
Olfactive Studio brings contemporary photography into dialogue with perfumery. Founded by Céline Verleure, the house invites perfumers to interpret images through scent, treating both art forms as triggers for emotion and memory. Its fragrances are conceived without gender boundaries, with individuality taking precedence over conventional categories.
Ombre Indigo’s concept
Ombre Indigo translates a photograph from Gustavo Pellizzon’s Encanto series into an olfactory study of shadow. Mylène Alran interpreted that idea through dark woods and smoky resins, allowing tuberose and saffron to provide points of light rather than making the composition uniformly sombre.
Extra info
Ombre Indigo was the house’s sixth fragrance. Its indigo-blue liquid makes the name visible in the bottle, while the accompanying photograph connects the finished perfume to its artistic starting point.
