Sweet and warm, with undertones of... baby wipes!?
I was super excited to try this perfume; the reviews on it made it sound like a heavenly scent! But once I got it and tried it out, I realized that despite having immediate sweet, pleasant smells to it, once it wore down after just a few minutes, it started to smell like baby wipes! Just not a good smell for me!
Published:
Pros
Large container, Cute packaging, Smells sweet
Cons
Smells like baby wipes once the initial scent mellows out
I was absolutely excited to try this perfume, but unfortunately, I ended up disappointed.
Packaging
Indulge came packaged in a very cute pink box. It was so adorable, I actually kept it! It's not overly large and it fits the perfume bottle snugly.
The bottle is round and somewhat flat, made of thick frosted glass, and looks lovely. It seems like it would be fairly resistant to breaking, though don't be careless with it, as it is still glass!
The silver cap slides off pretty easily, and underneath, you'll find the little spritzer top. This lets out a fine mist, similar to many other perfumes and body sprays, and is not too much, nor is it too little. I think it dispenses the perfect amount of perfume to wear for the day with one or two spritzes, depending on how much scent you like to wear.
Performance
This perfume is similar to many others. It is thin and liquidy, and it evaporates fairly quickly once applied to the skin. I do not find that it leaves oily residue behind on my skin, though be cautious about spraying it onto silky fabrics, as it may stain or leave spots (though I have not tested this myself)
It lasts for a few hours- again, similar to many perfumes I have tried in the past. I find that it lasts a while longer than my favorite perfume; Wonderstruck. Wonderstruck tends to stick around for about 3-4 hours, while this will last perhaps 5 hours, depending on how much I apply. The strong lasting power of Indulge would be awesome, if it weren't for the smell of it...
Scent
Unfortunately, this is where I was let down. When I sniffed this stuff straight out of the bottle, it smelled nice; much like others have described it. It was warm, like vanilla, gingerbread, musk, and spices. So, I spritzed a little on myself to see how the initial scent test went.
For the first few minutes, it smelled nice- the same as when I sniffed it before. But after 5 minutes or so, the scent sort of wore down to this... baby wipes sort of smell. It was REALLY weird, and completely unpleasant! Baby wipes smell fine and all, but I don't exactly want to smell like them! I wondered if it was just my body chemistry, so I sprayed it onto some clothes and let it sit. Nope, still smells like baby wipes. What the heck!?
This was totally strange and a real disappointment, because the initial smell of this perfume is very nice. I just can't figure out why it turns into baby wipes!
So, be cautious when purchasing this perfume. It may well be my own personal perception of this product, but I think it's likely that there would be others who smell the same "baby wipes" undertone as me. Just keep that in mind when shopping!

Great review! Thanks for sharing so much about the scent. This is such a cute-looking little bottle of perfume, but that scent sounds like crap. Lol. Thank you for the detail. I think I'll just pass on it. Everytime I see it in stock, I have the urge to buy it anyway. Damn that cute bottle! Lol
