Men’s fashion brand Joseph Abboud has announced the launch of its latest Faded Indigo scent, as a part of its Indigo Blue collection.

Created by Tru Fragrance and Harry Fremont, master perfumer, Firmenich, Faded Indigo features top notes of lemon with a marine accord and wood scents. The scent was designed as an everyday scent for men and is inspired by Nantucket's ocean blue waters.

"Faded Indigo is a vibrant, fresh scent reminiscent of evening walks on the beaches of Nantucket along the midnight blue ocean," said Joseph Abboud. "This all-encompassing fragrance provides yet another opportunity for men to further express their individuality."
