Because Lalique does not spend on advertising, preferring instead to invest in the fragrance itself…
L’Eau Par Kenzo Eau Indigo are new flankers to Kenzo’s L’Eau Par Kenzo Pour Femme & Pour Homme:
As night falls, L’eau par Kenzo becomes Eau Indigo, a pair of sensual fragrances for him and her inspired by the seductive dance of color and scent as dusk sets on water.
It is customary when reviewing a flanker to compare it to the original pillar scent, but I’m operating in the dark here: I tried the original L’Eau Par Kenzo fragrances (Femme & Homme) a very long time ago, and only on paper.

L’Eau Par Kenzo Eau Indigo Pour Femme was developed by perfumer Christine Nagel (the notes: bergamot, mandarin, jasmine, orange blossom, ylang ylang, tonka bean and amber). Eau Indigo Pour Femme is described as a sensual floral, and while it starts out soapy-clean, it does get arguably “sensual” near the end…

Salvador Dali will launch Black Sun Sport, a flanker to 2007's Black Sun for men. Like Black Sun, Black Sun Sport was developed by perfumer Antoine Lie, and the new scent is “designed to accompany the modern man in his active, sporting life”.
