Fragrance information:

Belgian niche brand Indices creates travel-inspired fragrances, and A Prayer for Love is one of the most poignant chapters of its Olfactory Adventures collection.

This is not just a perfume, but an olfactory prayer woven from ancient resins and balms.

Released in eau de parfum concentration, it immediately caught the attention of fans of deep, meditative fragrances.

The composition was created by renowned perfumer Cécile Doan, who masterfully intertwined four key notes: frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, and styrax.

In her hands, these resins sounded not like heavy church chords, but like a warm, enveloping whisper.

The fragrance belongs to the balsamic family and unfolds equally beautifully on both female and male skin.

Scent and Sillage

Indices A Prayer for Love is a unisex fragrance with a very strong sillage. It doesn't ask for attention; it asserts itself calmly but authoritatively.

The start is a sharp, slightly smoky frankincense, which quickly softens with sweetish benzoin and honeyed myrrh.

Styrax adds a leathery-balsamic nuance, making the composition full-bodied and sensual.

It is an ideal choice for the cool season, evening outings, or moments when you want to retreat and listen to yourself.

Thanks to the high longevity of the eau de parfum, the fragrance stays on the skin for hours, leaving a soft, cozy trail.

On clothing, it can last even longer — a true find for those who appreciate long-lasting compositions.

Creator and Context

Cécile Doan is known for her love of clean lines and natural ingredients.

In A Prayer for Love, she managed to create not just a resinous chord, but a whole story about inner silence and the search for harmony.

The brand Indices, founded in 2017, always focuses on storytelling, and this fragrance is a clear confirmation.

If the aesthetic of balsamic fragrances appeals to you, check out Mendittorosa Osang — it is also built on resins and has a similar mystical depth.

For a softer introduction to balsams, try Mona di Orio Myrrh Casati, while Prissana Ayutthaya will surprise with an unusual combination of frankincense and tropical notes.

Indices A Prayer for Love is a meditation fragrance that is worth trying for anyone seeking in perfumery not just an adornment, but a means of self-expression and inner dialogue.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The fragrance pyramid is built on four balsamic notes that sound like a single chord.

Top notes are not highlighted separately: the composition immediately opens with pungent frankincense, joined by sweet benzoin.

In the heart, myrrh dominates with its balsamic-spicy nuance, and the base is anchored by styrax, adding a leathery and slightly smoky trail.

All notes are intertwined so tightly that they create the sensation of a whole, flowing resin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
