 Indult, a Paris-based perfumer house which was inaugurated last year is releasing its fourth fragrance after Manakara, Isvaraya, and Tihota in an even more limited-edition format: C 16 will be available in only 213 bottles.

C 16 is exclusive to Colette in Paris and should be available from March 2008. (cf. Colette Newsletter)
