About Asphalt
Asphalt is a perfume note inspired by the smell of paved streets. It names an olfactory impression from an everyday setting, rather than establishing that road material is an ingredient in a perfume.
Scent Profile
For Indigo, Andrea Maack describes warm city pavement alongside the smell of raw denim. The note evokes urban surroundings and the feel of materials, offering an alternative subject to flowers or fruit.
Use in Perfumery
Indigo places asphalt with a jeans accord in the opening, followed by lavender, orris, sandalwood and musks. Warm pavement is the brand's imagery for the scent; it does not indicate that any road material is actually used.
