Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Not A Perfume EDP
A skin-scent for minimalists and scent-shy, Not A Perfume is the ultimate in modern understated elegance. Its pure, hypoallergenic formula is both easygoing and quietly magnetic.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 566 Not a Perfume EDP
A softer, shorter-lived take on Juliette Has A Gun's Not a Perfume. Both centre on a single ambery-musk molecule, but this version reads noticeably lighter and closer to the skin from the first spray, and fades to nothing well before the original's famously long, skin-hugging wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Not A Perfume

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Its clean, airy and minimalist amber-woody-musk character is ideal for spring and summer, never cloying or heavy. It lacks warmth or density for winter's cold, but can feel crisp and inviting on mild autumn days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport

With subtle projection, hypoallergenic composition, and a neutral, universally pleasant scent, it's perfect for office, casual, or active settings. Too understated for most formal events but effortlessly clean for daily use.
