If I were to describe Blu Indaco in one word it would be bland - this is a scent with no substance or character, a signature scent for a spineless yes-man. I’ve found a similar pattern in other Giardini fragrances, they seem to have a running theme of excessive simplicity. It’s a sort of soapy, musky almond-thing. The bergamot, frangipani and pink pepper provide this sharp freshness which has a bit of a harsh tone to it, which is then bolstered by an overwhelming amount of scratchy synthetic musks and ambroxan. At the heart lies creamy almond and sweet vanilla, which struggles to survive under the musks. It’s not unpleasant, it’s not a scrubber and it’s not nasty to wear - it just leaves me unsatisfied. There’s not depth, no interest and no ingenuity here; it’s just another lazy cash grab release which the masses will no doubt enjoy.
