  • What a wonderful project! It’s so interesting to see the visuals of each of these artists. I would like to see art created for Figue Fruitee.

  • I really need to get to Indigo to see these beautiful art pieces for myself. My son lives close by and I’ve been wanting to go since it opened. I think this was a wonderful concept and it helps to showcase northeast Ohio’s excellent schools and art history. Congratulations to the students who participated and to Ann for showcasing their work.

    I’ve always enjoyed the visuals that Cafleuebon adds to the posts to enhance the fragrance reviews and am glad the community recognizes “art from perfume”. I already liked Indigo Perfumery on Facebook and live in the US.

  • I have already ordered sample sets from Indigo, as they carry hard to find brands. How nice that they are supporting the art student community! I wish they were in my home town! I liked them on FB some time ago. Live in US

  • The art selected is so intune as to what each fragrance represent. I wish I was in town do I can see each of these works of art in person. With the internet you only get a small glimmer of what it really is. I already liked indigo perfumery on Facebook I’m in the US
