This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.7

Which Should You Buy?
This is a divisive one. For some, it's a 'basic' fruity floral that's a bit too soapy or synthetic. But for its fans, it's a dependable, crowd-pleasing blend of sweet fruit, soft rose, and a touch of suede that lasts and lasts.
This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.7 is a polarising scent, hailed by some as a quirky, magnetic masterpiece and dismissed by others as smelling like gas station hand soap. It's a bold collision of tropical brightness and a darker, more synthetic edge.
