Blossom Perfumery 566 Not a Perfume is an Eau de Parfum. 566 Not a Perfume opens with Cetalox, settles into a heart of Cetalox, and dries down to a base of Cetalox. Blossom Perfumery's 566 Not a Perfume carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

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.

About

566 | Inspired by Not a Perfume takes on the minimalist premise of Juliette Has A Gun's cult single-note original, built almost entirely around a clean, ambery-woody musk (Cetalox) rather than a traditional top-heart-base pyramid. On skin it opens with the same crisp, laundry-clean freshness that made the original famous, warming quickly into a soft, skin-like musk. Where it falls short is staying power and depth: the real Not a Perfume is prized for lasting 8+ hours as an intimate, barely-there second skin, while this version reads thinner and dissipates within a couple of hours, losing the subtle warmth that develops on the original as it wears. It's a decent, wallet-friendly way to sample the molecule-perfume trend and works well layered under other scents, but purists chasing the true skin-scent longevity of the original will be disappointed.
