    When this soap was re-released a few years ago there were some complaints about scent strength. As a result, he re-re-released it with more frag in it. This tub is from before the re-re-release. It’s certainly on the lighter side, but I can still smell it.

    Then of course he re-re-re-released it under the new name “Indigo” as a result of a cease and desist from https://moodindigoliving.com/.

      I think the name change was a good idea. The fragrance is better served by an association the color than the Duke Ellington jazz tune. Especially because the marketing talked about the feeling of leaving a blues club.

        I think it does a good job of the “leaving the jazz club” vibe. I don’t think it’s trying to imitate it (there isn’t really a smell to jazz clubs, except maybe cigarettes outside?), just trying to capture the feeling.

        Indigo Mood would have been another good rename, but this came out shortly after Mood Indigo.
