Which Should You Buy?
This one's divisive, love it or hate it. Many find it a delicate, airy floral marine, perfect for sunny days. But some are seriously underwhelmed, citing poor performance or a cloying, artificial 'blue' note.
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.
