Indigo Smoke Eau de Parfum 100 ml Arquiste

Indigo Smoke by Arquiste is a Woody fragrance for women and men.

Evoking the traditional practice of smoking tea leaves in ancient China, Indigo Smoke is an aromatic landscape of narrow winding rivers, blue mountains and incense-filled temples, condensed into a complex formula of black tea, woodsy notes and incense. Rich, realistic and long-lasting. With notes of lapsang souchong tea, mandarin orange, apricot, guaiac wood, incense and pine tar.

May 1646, Wuyi Mountains, Fujian.

For centuries, diligent monks in the Wuyi Mountains have grown tea and indigo in terraced plantations. In 1646, their monasteries were attacked by Qing soldiers from the north. As the monks were forced to flee, they smoked batches of tea leaves over pinewood fires to preserve their crops. This would become the smoky lapsang souchong tea. Mixing with the fresh mountain air and incense from nearby shrines, the intoxicating plumes of indigo smoke captured the colors of the Wuyi Mountains and its dramatic river straits.
