    This whole categorization system seems really arbitrary. Carven is indie?

      It’s not arbitrary — it’s based on the number of stores the scent is distributed in. If something is only in a handful of stores (used to be less than 50 but don’t know the current rules) it’s indie. Doesn’t make the categories mesh all that well with how perfumistas might categorize, but it’s not unfair.
