Cologne Indelebile is a cologne. Plain and simple, and if you expect something groundbreaking you are in for a disappointment. I know many people regard colognes as something plain. Something you briskly use after a shower to refresh yourself. But if you live in a Mediterranean country, somewhere where the scorching summer heat leaves you dried up, you know that a good cologne can liven you up. It's therapeutic and refreshing in the best possible way. But most of them barely last, so you need to spritz and spritz. And that's the pleasure of it; soaking up the citrus time after time until you feel alive again. Now, give that cologne some heft, without compromising the refreshing factor, and you have Cologne Indelebile. First thing I notice, sillage. Strong and powerful. Longevity around 8 hours. So far so good. What makes it unique is the salty skin effect. Ropion says he used an abundance of musks, white in particular, but the only white thing I smell, or better yet see, is the white light of the blazing sun. It starts like a fine and elegant citrus cologne, the orange blossom ads some light sweetness and floralcy, narcissus gives it a bite, and the musks give longevity and warmth. It's the equivalent of clean, slightly salty skin,at home, just back from the beach after a day soaking up the midday sun, with the skin covered in oils and creams, scented with an orange blossom perfume, topped up with a spray of a citrus cologne. In these sunny days we are having in Madrid it feels great, especially if I add a spritz of a more floral perfume, or a musky animalic one at night. But I feel that it will shine in July/August. The citrus will shine more, the musk will envelop more. It's not groundbreaking, but it gets top points for being a true cologne with a fresh start, that never bores you with just that, it evolves like skin in summer; fresh/warm/salty/sexy. Easy to wear, but not simple. My staple for this summer. Edited to add: 08/07/2015 After various samples and decants, Cologne Indelebile has been a letdown. The gorgeous orange blossom opening remains, but the salty musk I liked has been replaced by a very screechy white musk that refuses to let go and that reminds me of nothing less than A&F Fierce. Go figure! Skin chemistry is weird. Weather as well. As of now, not sure if I would purchase.
